This was such a great spot for a relaxing beach trip. Location was great, just a short walk to the beach, and the place was very comfortable and spacious. The house was decorated very nice which was also appealed to us in making this selection and we are glad that we did! It's located towards the south end of the neighborhood, and so even during a busy holiday weekend, we were able to find a nice quiet spot on the beach!

A fabulous place to stay while enjoying a beautiful quiet beach. Very well stocked kitchen and tastefully decorated unit. All the extras including beach chairs, umbrellas, and sand toys. Drip coffee maker appreciated, much better than a pod coffee maker. Spacious decks off every level and the master deck was a great morning coffee spot. Very easy walk to the beach down a sidewalk to the boardwalk. The owner was extremely helpful with our questions and her instructions were easy to follow and uncomplicated.

We had a great time, we love barrier dunes and loved this location. Easy access to the beach, great top level view, comfortable furniture in and out and the beds and pillows were great. Kitchen is well stocked and a big fridge is great. Hostess was super helpful, felt right at home and like a guest at the same time.

A very nice home just a short walk from the beach. The community also has two nice pools to cool off in after a long day at the beach. Property owner replies immediately to answer any questions about your stay there. I would return to this home next time we are in the area.

Would definitely stay here again! This condo was just lovely. The community felt very safe and it was mostly families with children and dogs staying around us. The unit itself has a beautiful view on the second floor balcony of the ocean. The kitchen had all the cooking equipment we needed to make basic dinners, the fridge is very roomy. I suggest bringing paper towels, dish soap and zip lock bags if you use them. The coffee maker is a regular drip style, not a Keurig style and there were plenty of filters there. In the closet under the unit were plenty of nice beach chairs, even two for small children with coolers and pockets on the back with carrying straps. There's also a tent but I think it's broken. We saw a beach umbrella but had our own so I'm not sure if that's in good condition. A boogie board and some beach toys as well. It was a very quick walk to get to the beach, but get there early to set up because we had to walk a ways down the beach to get a spot. Still not a bad walk! The bed in the master bedroom was very comfy. My teenagers enjoyed the beds in the other bedroom as they slept through most mornings! The washer is pretty tiny so plan on doing smaller loads more often. Claire, the hostess was very friendly and prompt in communicating and gave us so much great information and suggestions for places to eat or things to do! Overall, we loved it and would definitely recommend to anyone!

Our rental experience was so amazing. The owner was so welcoming and gracious. We have never dealt with anyone so nice and we could tell she truly wanted us to enjoy our stay. And of course we had an amazing time. That in itself will more than make us return again.

We loved our stay at this location! It was SO close to the beach (1 minute walking, if that) and had everything we needed to have a comfortable stay. Our 2-year-old loved it, but make sure to bring a baby gate to block off stairs if your little one hasn’t mastered steps. The bottom deck was awesome. It has a door to the steps so it’s like a huge outside playpen. The owner has done a great job renovating and the finishes in the bathrooms are quite stunning. Great outdoor shower with hot water underneath the house, as well as everything you could need for cooking. The unit is an end unit so you only have to deal with neighbor sound on one side. But it wasn’t bad at all. The location of the townhouse in Barrier Dunes is nice and private. We had a great time and couldn’t have asked for a better host than Claire! She was so responsive and so friendly! You can indeed see the water from the top deck so it’s a nice way to wake up in the morning. All-in-all, very satisfied with our choice to stay here!
