Shabby, but not chic
This house is showing its age. But that didn’t bother us. Luckily all major appliances worked properly, unlike previous reviews. I thought it was fairly clean until I moved the couch cushions. It did lack some trash cans which was a little challenging. But it is hard for me to understand why the owners/managers wouldn’t fix the little things that would make it look so much better. For instance, why not replace the multiple light switches that were broken. Literally, 4-5 metal levers instead of regular switches. And how hard is it to reattach cabinet doors instead of letting them hang off their hinges? It truly is little details that make a huge impression. Otherwise, the location is perfect and the pool is a great bonus.

Good location and pool
The houae is dated. The oven was broke when we got there with the door being held up by a barstool (and despite daily communication with property management it was still broke when we left). We had brought food to cook for 10 people in the oven but had to do something different every night. They offered only $25/night reimbursement, which is noy acceptable for what we had to spend on dinners. There is quite a bit of mold in the bathrooms. The sliding door to go to the pool downstairs kept coming off the track. The location and pool were great, though.

Relaxing cottage on the shore
My family was there in early June and the weather was great. It has privacy and a great view. Inside has two separate living rooms so people can enjoy different activities but still be close by. The pool was our favorite space. All day you can choose to stay in the sun or in the shade of the deck.

Perfect location and space for our family
This is the second year in a row that we have stayed at the Dunes House for our annual family vacation. We will be back next year! We have 3 grown children and 2 dogs that we vacation with at HHI. The house is perfect for our needs. We love it.

Beautiful view, could use a few key updates
Beautiful view, from the top balcony. We requested the pool to be heated, and it was, but the hot tub was the same temp, so not great. Overall we all really liked the house and neighborhood, except a few things, some fixable, some not…. -The house is right next to a beach access -sliding glass doors do not slide very well, the kids couldn’t open them at all. -window in bottom bedroom does not open, top lock malfunction -master bath shower loses water pressure toward end of every shower -master bed windows don’t open, blinds in window panes don’t work, -a big one for us, the pool has no light, so unless you want to use motion lights that keep going on and off it is utterly dark back there and the pool not safely accessible of a night. -kitchen knives really need replacing, tips broken, stained -5 bedroom house with parking for only 2 cars -banister on top deck a bit sketchy/loose Just a little insight for anyone wanting to rent this house…. Of course we had a wonderful time and it was very spacious for all of us.

The property had an excellent location but It could use a little TLC. Two showers didn’t have hot water. We were able to fix one and the other was looked at after a few calls and told it couldn’t be fixed. The master bedroom had a deck with a fan but we couldn’t get the door unlocked. They provided the bare minimum of supplies such as dish soap, paper towels, dishwasher soap, etc. The spa didn’t work.

Great location and beautiful views from home.
Enjoyed the views and proximity from this large, cabin like beach home. We had plenty of room for 9 people and 2 dogs. There is a roach problem in the kitchen and the pool furniture is dilapidated. Once those two issues are resolved, I would recommend this home.

It was ok. Issues were algae in pool because it was on spa setting so pool didn’t filter properly. Cobb webs in corners of ceiling, during heavy down pours of rain ceiling leaked around chimney. With that said the view was beautiful.

Poor Property Mgmt
The house is in a great location, can't beat ocean front and accessibility to the surrounding restaurants. Like the other reviews, the pool and hot tub were not functional and dirty. I called ahead of our stay to check on this, due to the reviews and was told everything was functional and ready. We arrived to a very dirty pool, and a half filled hot tub. The mgmt company said they would have someone out to clean the pool within the next day. The pool was cleaned on our last night 6:30pm, before our 10am check-out. The house is dated, but fine in that regard, it is a typical beach front dated home. However, the dishes in the cabinets and drawers were dirty. It seemed everything was put away dirty from the previous stay. The home was dusty, and the floors felt dirty under our feet. No issues with the beds, although after a day in the sun, sleeping hard is no problem. The stove is no longer a glass top - so this was recently replaced and was functioning during our stay. Overall it seems to be a property management company issue with the consistent bad reviews on this home. It has great potential, if clean. Of course we still made the best of it, and spent the majority of our time on the beach. I can appreciate the ample seating in the dinning and top deck - that was a plus.

Great Location and Pool; House Could Use Some Updating
The location and views from the house were fantastic. Great to be just steps away from the beach and ocean. The pool is large and was a pleasant place to hang out in the afternoon. It took some trial and error to get the hot tub working, since no instructions are provided. The temperature of the hot tub cannot be regulated, meaning it was too hot when running for some members of our group. The house is definitely worn around the edges and could use some maintenance and updating. One of the kitchen cabinet doors fell off when opened. One of the wooden dining room chairs would occasionally have to be put back together. The bed in the master bedroom is incredibly loud--the squeaking took a while to get used to. The microwave is very small. Basic utensils--for instance a corkscrew and a bottle opener--were missing. There are no pool toys or beach accessories provided. There is no umbrella provided for the deck, which gets very hot during the day. Fortunately, I knew to bring one with us. Vacasa, the management company, could make this a nicer place with a little effort. Communication also was an issue with Vacasa. I initially tried through the VRBO platform after booking the house, but received no helpful response from them for two months, despite several attempts on my part. I finally figured out that calling their national number was the best (and only) way to communicate with them. The folks at the call center were helpful and able to get the answers I needed about the house from the local office fairly quickly. There is no way to directly communicate with the Hilton Head office, even when you're at the house. The check-in instructions emailed to us were vague and incorrect. The code we were given for the front door was wrong, which we discovered after we arrived at the house. Fortunately, someone at their call center was able to help. There was not a welcome/information packet at the house -- so no instructions on how to run the hot tub, dishwasher, etc. No detailed info on local restaurants and other businesses. All of that said, I still give it four stars overall because the location and pool were that great. We would stay here again if the price is right but it may not be our first choice.

Annual beach trip
Not well equipped in the kitchen for 12 guests. Lighting is terrible in the seating area of the kitchen. Broken kitchen chair and corner cabinet. However, distance to the beach was awesome. Beach view was great. Twin beds in a very small closet area. Fourth bathroom was the one off the kitchen with full shower. A full bathroom on bottom floor would have been better and the one off the kitchen as a 1/2 bath.

Good location
The great thing about this property is that it is on the beach and we had beds to sleep in. However, the house is dated and there are several things that could easily be fixed. Bed in the master BR squeaks every time you move or breath it seems, the microwave is the smallest I have ever seen and has significant rust inside, chair at the dining room table have years of sunblock layered into the finish, the chairs with cushions on back deck are worn and torn. Good points: The house was cleaned very well. This was a last-minute trip so we had to settle for a pet-friendly unit to be on the beach. Cleaning staff did a great job since my wife has pet allergies and she didn't have a problem here. Location was great, easy access to the beach and Coligny plaza was an easy bike ride away, about .5 miles where all the restaurants are. The huge pool was a plus as well. All in all, you're on the beach, so the inside stuff is not a big deal since your outside most of the day. I just think this unit has a huge potential to upgraded and demand a higher rental fee.
