We live the sand dunes. It is a quiet family place to stay. Convenient to everything. There was an issue getting the light timer to come on before dark but otherwise good. Staff was super nice and helpful. Could use some oven pans in the room instead of aluminum foil but worked in a pinch.

Convenient for beach access and Kure pier area. Room was cramped and bed was too soft/springy. Lacked furniture. For bare bones beach experience it’s okay.
