Cute But Lacking
We're very familiar with River Dunes and usually book through the property itself. This time we found Little Pearl through through VRBO. The cottage was very cute, well-appointed/decorated and nicely situated on the property. However, in this time when particular attention to detail is given to sanitation and cleanliness, Little Pearl lacked attention to detail. Specifically the bedding was soiled and unwashed. The pillow shams were dirty, as was the duvet cover. Other small details like coffee pods, but no creamer, and no dresser to unpack clothes could also have been addressed. The management was responsive to my email and promised a cleaning crew would show up to address the soiled bedding, but alas no one ever came.

Very clean, loved the decor, beautiful homes within River Dunes. There is not much to do outside the development though.

Cozy Little Cottage
A little but luxurious quaint cottage in a quiet resort community. Perfect for a weekend getaway. Located in River Dunes, this cottage is walking distance to the marina, restaurants, shops, pool and other amenities. Free bicycles and kayaks are provided free of charge to guests on a first-come first serve basis. We can't wait to go back soon!

Great property, lousy community
The cottage was exactly as pictured, quaint, clean, and comfortable. Check in was simple (key under the mat!). If I could transport the cottage to a different community I would stay in it again. The River Dunes was a complete and utter disappointment. The website bills it as a "bustling harbor village" and nothing could be further from the truth. We arrived on Thursday afternoon. The one shop to buy a snack closed at 5. The restaurant is not open for dinner on Thursday (which I now see IS indicated, sort of, on the website but it certainly wasn't CLEAR). Even though there was a bar, it wasn't staffed. We spoke to an employee and said "we'll see you tomorrow and Saturday for dinner then?" and he said "great". Options were minimal but we drove to Oriental for dinner. On Saturday we spent the day in New Bern, which was fun. We returned to the cottage in the late afternoon. I called to make a dinner reservation and got a voicemail that said "we check this throughout dinner and will call you back". They didn't call so we walked over around 6pm, to find the restaurant closed AGAIN because of a "resident event". The employee we spoke to suggested we drive to New Bern for dinner (it's a 45 minute each way drive that we'd already done). She also explained that the restaurant would not be open for dinner on Saturday night EITHER because of the resident weekend. It was by now after closing time to even buy a microwavable meal at the "Provision Shop". Again, no bar, no coffee shop, no where to get anything so we drove back to Oriental for a horrible dinner and checked out a day early, forfeiting the cost of one night and incurring a hotel cost elsewhere. Maybe the Harbor Club is 'bustling' in season? but I honestly wouldn't recommend it.
