The internet would not connect to the tv none of the network names existed, someone was suppose to come and fix but never showed up. The internet should be set up when we arrive. The grill outside did not work. The fridge did not get cold enough cold keep to our food and drinks in and it was on the highest setting. The washer would no drain and spin the clothes. The dryer, I had it on for over two hours and my clothes still weren’t dry. On the positive the bed was very comfortable. ##### James R.

We had an issue arise with hot water but was quickly resolved when we reported it - even on a Sunday. We would stay here again. ##### Karen P.

The beds were actually quite comfortable, and the home was relatively clean. Everything was in working order, and we had no issues. The only suggestion I would make is to better stock the kitchen (only 3 coffee cups, sketchy coffee pot, very few spoons, and no dish soap). ##### Shelly W.

Had a great stay but there were some small issues. Gas grill needs repairs, problems with door lock, and grout in shower was moldy. Issues did not affect stay. ##### Daniel P. Stayed 8 nights in Feb 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Dr. Robert G. 26 Mar 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great place - nice pool, close to beach Very nice overall. You must be able to climb stairs. Nice amenities; we enjoyed reading in the sun by the pool, walking on the beach... Car-port was just about too narrow for our full-sized truck. An unexpected (but apparently planned) power outage of a few hours took us a bit by surprise. But no damage done. We would certainly come again ... but might seek "handicapped accessible"! ##### Dr. Robert G.

Carpet stains a little. Bedding clean and nice. Clean bathrooms but could stand little bleach at base of shower. No hair dryer but i guess wasn't supposed to have bu4 i didnt catch that. Could use more silverware. Slow drain in shower. Some water/hot water issue but quick to respond..enjoyed our stay. Would stay again. ##### Cheryl H. Stayed 4 nights in Jun 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Gail M. 3 Dec 2023 Liked: Check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Nice, comfortable stay I've stayed at this property before, and at other units in the Barrier Dunes Community. Barrier Dunes is great - I love the short walk to the beach and the proximity to the state park. As with my prior stay, I found the townhome to be comfortable and nice. I'm not sure why this place gets so many bad reviews. It's true that it shows more wear than other units in Barrier Dunes where I've stayed - but those units are also more expensive. Personally, I think the trade-off for a lower price for a place with a little wear to be reasonable. I did take 1 star off due to the floors being a bit dirty. I would still stay here again. ##### Gail M. Stayed 3 nights in Nov 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Derek A. 6 Jul 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Love Barrier Dunes, condo was mediocre. We have stayed at Barrier Dunes for several years now and love our vacations there; however, this particular condo was nothing special at all. The location within the Barrier Dunes community was great, with short walks to the beach and both pools. The condo itself was pretty dated. The paint kind of faded/scuffed up, carpet was old, main sliding glass door was hard to operate, and the stove was horrible. The refrigerator was also comically small. We will definitely be going back to Barrier Dunes, but will try to get a different condo unit next time. ##### Derek A. Stayed 5 nights in Jun 2023 This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 8/10 Good #### Kristen J. 1 Feb 2023 #### Great beach access! We had a great stay here. Condo was comfortable and very clean. The neighbors were were extremely kind and friendly. We only have two complaints: 1. The dishwasher did not work and even after contacting rental company twice no one ever came out to fix it. 2. The ice maker didn’t work. We never reported it because we didn’t want to waste anymore time. ##### Kristen J. ### 4/10 Poor #### Valerie T. 24 Jun 2024 Liked: Check-in, communication, location Disliked: Cleanliness, listing accuracy #### disappointed Rent another unit. This one needs love. Spots on furniture. the fire detector wouldn't stop beeping. the dishes in the cabinet were dirty. Curtains do not cover the window in the master bedroom. Refrigerator is not even a basic size-it tiny with no ice cubes or trays and the place smelled of day old shrimp. Not to mention the Large palm tree right in the middle of the balcony which is in also need of being pressure washed because it is so moldy. It's a shame because I have stayed other places in this same complex and have loved it. The beach is always awesome, but of all the places I have rented on VRBO this has probably been the only disappointment. ##### Valerie T. Stayed 5 nights in Jun 2024 ### 2/10 Terrible #### georgina q., Denver, Colorado 22 Oct 2023 Disliked: Listing accuracy #### Avoid if you can This house was disappointing. So many things were broken and didnt work. The customer service agents i spoke to were nice but did nothing. It took them 2 days to bring beach towels. There cracked tiles, all 3 patios were not treated so there was a fear of splinters. The patio furniture wasdirty, broken and not treated to name a few. Stay away. Other units in the complex were mich better. ##### georgina q. Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2023 This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 4/10 Poor #### Lisa P. 13 Oct 2023 #### Updates Needed We love Barrier Dunes, but this unit definitely needs some updates. The location is great, just a short walk to the beach. The ceramic floors are damaged - cracks throughout the first floor. The carpet was stained badly up the stairs and in the master bedroom. The kitchen was barely usable - very few dishes, stainless, and pans. The stove top was uneven so cooking was difficult. The condition of the decks was uncomfortable, the wood is old and nails are protruding. The chairs on the decks are unsafe - one broke when my husband sat in it. ##### Lisa P. ### 2/10 Terrible #### Greg V. 10 Jul 2024 Liked: Location Disliked: Check-in, communication, listing accuracy #### Not as promised Unfortunately, the rental did not live up to its listing. WiFi and TVs were out upon arrival and after troubleshooting (resetting router, etc) we contacted Vacasa and they could not get a technician to the property until 36 hours later - halfway through our stay. Separately, the lock on the sliding glass door was broken and a flimsy piece of wood in the track was the only way to secure the door. We had a toddler and dog with us otherwise it wouldn’t have bothered us - but kind of a safety issue. Vacasa was alerted but never did anything to remedy the door. Grill was out of propane but it wouldn’t have mattered because ignition switch was busted and it probably hasn’t been cooked on since the 90s. There were several exposed outlets and some mold on the walls likely from excess moisture. Lastly, there was no physical key in the property as promised. Had to call to get a lockbox code we were never provided. I’m not one to typically complain, but when a rental requests you to run the dish washer, strip the sheets, and take out the trash before you checkout - on top of paying a significant cleaning fee - you would expect basic amenities would be as promised. People don’t go on vacation to play IT technician. ##### Greg V. Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2024 ### 4/10 Poor #### Lynn F. 3 Dec 2019 Liked: Check-in, communication, location #### Beautiful area but house needs some attention As soon as you enter the unit you are hit with a very strong mildew smell, and it permeates the entire first two levels of the home. I suspect the previous reviews praising how good it smells were posted by friends of the owner, because it was very bad. Screen doors are missing and it’s quite buggy in this area, so opening it up to air it out isn’t an option. (Not to mention the risk of wildlife, like the adorable raccoon who visited the deck, making its way inside.) Even worse, there is not a single comfortable spot to sit in this entire house. The sofas sag so badly you could not even donate them, and they are stained as well. There are also hard wooden kitchen chairs and a window seat with a grubby dog blanket on it in place of a cushion. The tile floor has no rug, but I actually resorted to sitting there in desperation until management brought a piece of plywood to put under the couch cushions to make it possible to sit there. The coffee table was warped as if someone heavy had stood on it. The king mattress was noisy as others have noted, but it really was comfortable; however the sheets were pilled. On the whole, it was an unpleasant place to spend a week and we were disappointed. With better weather it would not have been a big deal, but rain and unseasonably cold temps meant we had to spend a lot of time indoors. We had friends join us for a couple of days and were embarrassed to offer this as accommodation. On the plus side, these things could be easily addressed and the home brought up to a good standard. Positives are that this unit is even closer to the Gulf than it looks, and the area is absolutely beautiful, with secluded, accessible beaches and few people on them. It’s quiet and peaceful. The pond with the turtles is delightful, and there is a heron who fishes there daily and is fun to watch. Wifi is excellent. There is plenty of hot water for showers. Vacasa, the management company, is the best I have ever worked with. Communication was quick, clear, and thorough, easiest check in I’ve ever had, they were responsive to the few small maintenance issues that arose. They went above and beyond to make up for the poor condition of the home. I would not stay in this unit again, but I will actually look for properties managed by Vacasa because they did such a stellar job. ##### Lynn F.
