Description

***As of March 9, 2024, the HOA informed us that they will be shutting down the indoor pool/hot tub area as of April 8th.
The work involves draining the pool (3 days); erecting scaffolding (1 full day) and then having the contractor come in and do the removal of the existing baffles and installation of the new baffles. The contractor estimates this could take 4-5 weeks to complete the phase of the work. Once the work is complete, the scaffolding will be removed; the pool will be filled back up, chemicals balanced and water re-heated. This takes a minimum of 3 days. They estimate the pool and hot tub will not be accessible until at least the second week of May if not later. All involved will do their best to ensure the work is done in as timely a fashion as possible, but there are factors that may be out of our control that could change the timeline. ***

The location on the beach can't be beat

Friends and I stayed in the Ocean Duchesse and we had a great stay. The location on the beach can't be beat and we appreciated a long weekend stay instead of having to rent for an entire week.

I loved the fact that it had beach access right beside of the condo. It was very close to the outdoor pool also. The furniture on the balcony was beautiful and comfortable to enjoy the beautiful ocean view. The kitchen has all of the cookware and dishes that you need. We all went to the Fort Fisher Aquarium and enjoyed the fact that it was close to the condo. I would be happy to stay again.

Manager's Response

Barbara, It sounds like you had a great time! Ocean Dunes is a great complex and this property is wonderful as well! We hope you will stay again!

Great little condo right on the beach! Pictures online at the time we rented in April 2022 were older - looks like owners are doing some updates not yet in the pics (walls & wood trim have been painted, new curtains, new stove & microwave, new dishes pots & pans new furniture in the main bedroom & very nice new pieces on the deck). The kitchen was pretty well stocked for cooking gear and there were even some “extras” left behind like trash bags, dish soap, ziplocks & some spices. living room was vey comfy and there is plenty of room for two couples or a small family - and you can’t beat the view or the super easy access to the beach.
Few small issues ... there were damp towels in the main bedroom bath ... clearly not even the linen service towels which made me wonder if the cleaning staff missed that room entirely? It looked clean .. but I wiped everything down again myself ..
New owners have taken doors off the cabinets on the section between the living space & kitchen and put cute decor in them .. while nice looking it essentially eliminated almost all storage for food items as all other cabinets have dishes in them and there are no shelves in the closets nearby. I moved some stuff around to make do .. but there isn’t a lot of extra room and losing two cabinets for decor makes little sense .. (it makes more sense if you want the “view” opened up to use those open spaces for the new dishes so the cabinets can be used for food)
I didn’t go to use it until the evening of our last day (our stay was a mini stay)but the dishwasher didn’t work either .. it cycled through all the lights but no water ever came on. I did report it at checkout though so hopefully it got fixed for the next guest.
Overall I would definitely rent this condo again - and would recommend it to others.

Manager's Response

Thank you Misty, for taking the time to leave us your thoughts and concerns. We value your opinions greatly, and we have had the dishwasher checked out and it is working fine. These are new owners and they have been busy sprucing the place up in hopes that nice guests like you will enjoy the time spent, be it a few days or a few weeks. We can't wait to see you back soon!
