Is was our first time there. We felt safe during Tropical storm Ophelia because of the nice constructed home. Loved the easygoing bike riding atmosphere. We will be returning soon! ##### nichole p.

Upon arriving everything went as well as expected. From entering the dwelling to getting settled and eventually leaving. The dwelling was clean and furnished above and beyond. The only thing that gave us difficulty was the television station we were told to use. The sound on the station was in and out. Other stations the sound was fine. I do consider that a minor issue. We felt safe and comfortable. Everyone we came in contact at River Dunes was friendly and helpful. We shopped at the Provision store and had lunch at Yawl's Cafe and the staff was great at both places. I highly recommend staying at River Dunes and hopefully next year we will be back and be able to stay even longer. ##### Deborah A. Stayed 4 nights in Nov 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### Theresa D. 7 Sept 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, location, listing accuracy Disliked: Communication #### Great house but poor communication We stayed 2 nights. The house was beautiful, very well decorated and location is very quiet and peaceful. I sent 2 messages through the Vrbo portal asking for a late checkout and never received a response. Then on the morning of checkout I sent a text requesting the same and was denied. When I stated that I had sent them 2 requests, there was no acknowledgement that they had failed to respond to my messages and the texts were snarky. Additionally, there was no water coming through the pipes at about midnight on the first night. I messaged the agency and was told it was a community issue and they would send someone out the next day. Although the issue was fixed the next morning, I never received a follow up message apologizing or checking to make sure our issue was resolved. Lastly, the site said the yacht club had a dinner club and we would have access. We had planned to have dinner there the 2nd night but they only provided a food truck in the parking lot and did not serve dinner at the club. Communication was not the greatest, but the house was really nice. ##### Theresa D.

The atmosphere reminds me of Wild Dunes Resort in Isle of Palms, SC many years ago. Broad Creek cottage is a well maintained & equipped escape in a relaxing environment. I brought my parents with me and both enjoyed our time in Rover Dunes and plan to return again in the future.
