We had a great stay at the condo. The location is wonderful. The beach was beautiful. The kitchen had anything and everything we could need. Everything was perfect. If I had anything negative to say it was that the gate stopped working to the entrance of the property (which wasnât a big deal really) and on departure day they were working on WiFi, but the problem came with the workers parking right in the way of the sidewalks to the parking lot which made it really difficult to bring luggage down to the cars. They jokingly said they werenât trying to make it difficult but honestly they could have moved the van over a little to make the carts easier to move. That and that there was a realtor (or what I expect was) showing a property but parked right at the gate and left their car there, so making it where it was hard for anyone coming in (they were confused by the empty car at the keypad) and where traffic coming in or out got backed up easily. Again nothing really, just a little irritating. But the condo and everything that had to do with it was truly perfect for us. We hope to return!
Took a chance on a new gulf coast area and couldnât have been happier with our stay. The condo had everything we needed and more. The view was spectacular. Really appreciated the quiet neighborhood feel. We will definitely be back.
This is a perfect location for family. The location is quiet and private. Beach access is a must for a family with young children and this location has it! When it comes to communication, the process was simpleâŠ..ask and you shall receive.
This was perfect for our young family. Beach and pool right down the steps was so convenient with an 11 month old. And the unit was very spacious and well maintained.
Our family enjoyed our stay at the condo even though the weather didn't cooperate.
Each bedroom had its own bathroom which was nice.
The views of the gulf were beautiful from the unit.
What a great location! Waking up to the ocean and coffee on the beach was a dream. The beach was not busy and we had easy access to the property. The pool was so warm! A really wonderful trip! Would stay here again.
We took some time off to vacation beachfront. Our stay here at The Palms of Dunes was perfect for our family of 8. The condo was fully stocked and had everything we needed. We will return for sure.
This is the second time my family has stayed in this property. We loved it so much last year that we booked it right away for the same week the following year. Over that timeframe, it appears that they have changed property management companies. The area that concerned me the most was the cleanliness of the property⊠Especially with Covid, it did not feel clean. The floors were still dirty. The rugs were so dirty we had to move them to the side so that we wouldnât walk on them. Several dishes that we took out to use were dirty. Several dishes. The grill was dirty. The windows were so dirty we couldnât see out of them. The bedding comforters did not have a duvet cover. So were we sharing bedding with the previous guests?? It just didnât feel clean.
We enjoyed reading the personal owner story last year but itâs a shame to see this place like this. It needs some updates but we can handle that. The nice little touches that we enjoyed last fall break, were no longer there. The view is fantastic. We love the low-key location.
Our check in process was frustrating. We were told on the phone we could check in early. We went to the grocery store to buy all of our groceries only to find out that we couldnât check in early. I had a car full of cold foods and there was no consideration. The lady at Newman-Dailey reservations was very rude. She said it needed to be inspected. After I told her Iâd sit and wait for them to come, an hour later, the inspector came ⊠stayed about 5 minutes⊠wiped the grill with a paper towel (which was still left dirty) & then we could enter. Why didnât she check the dishes? Or windows? Or floors? Iâll think twice after staying in another rental managed by Newman-Dailey as well.
Everything was absolutely perfect. Beach was nice and relaxing and condo was spacious and comfortable. Location was much better than staying closer to Destin.
This was the first time that we have stayed at the Palms at Dune Allen but certainly wont be the last. We loved being on the beach, the cleanliness of the condo and the pool and also how close we were to everything. We have 4 kids under 9 and this condo made getting all of things down to the beach a breeze. We can't wait to return.
Weâve all been friends since elementary school. Graduated in1984 and weâre finally at a place in our lives where we are able to reconnect. This was our first weekend adventure and CeCeâs did not disappoint.
Great vacation. Property was just what we were looking for - clean, uncrowded feel. Of course, a crystal clear Gulf and little rain for an entire week help a lot! Will do it again.
This is a beautifully situated, spacious condo with many amenities. The materials provided by the owner and the property manager were very organized and informative. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
We had a fantastic time at CeCeâs beach house. The condo is large and well appointed. The view is spectacular. And the management is great. We will definitely be back!
Great stay , great location. AND A LOT LESS CROWDED than other places in the area. That was a huge plus for us!
I didnât know that the beach rentals were only $75 a week for umbrella and 2 chairs. You may want to convey that to future rentals. If I would have know I would not have lugged my umbrellas and chairs every day if it was that cheap.
Thanks. Will definitely return.
CeCeâs beach house was perfect! The condo was exactly as represented and the property manager was awesome to work with. It was ideal for our group of 10.
Everything we could have hoped for and more. Can't wait to go back! We will not go through Homeaway/VRBO ever again for any rental though - the fees have gone beyond ridiculous!!
