Myrtle Beach Carolina Dunes Trip 2022
This is the second time we have stayed at Carolina Dunes and will definitely go back. We had some hot water issues that took a few days to remedy but all was taken care of. Excellent vacation.

An October Vacation
A wonderful time to be in Myrtle Beach. It was quiet, peaceful and inexpensive. Our stay was roomy, comfortable and clean with an amazing view and access to the beach. A couple bumps—pool wasn’t heated, remotes and cables were missing— but nothing that changed our wonderful vacation

Not Worth the Cost
"Updated" condo was not really updated. The appliances were very old. Shower was very short. Cabinets were painted on the outside but inside the cabinet we found bugs during our stay. Not a Luxury condo... Location was not bad, beach was not super busy for it being a week in June.

Great View - Unit Was So-So
The view was great, and I enjoyed listening to the waves from the unit. However, the unit could use some upkeep. There were areas where the ceiling was peeling off and had black mildew or something around it. There was also a mildewy smell, especially in the bedroom with two queen beds. My family has allergies so this was an issue for us. I did leave a whole pack of coffee filters for future guests so that hopefully they won't have to run out late in the evening after being on the road 11 hours just so they can have coffee the next morning.

Thank you for this review. The owner came in just after you and authorized us to scrape all popcorn ceilings in the living rm, dinning rm, hallways, kitchen and bathrooms. This is being done next week and all of what you saw will be fixed with smooth modern ceilings and freshly painted. We are sorry for your inconvenience.

My Stay at the Carolina Dunes
This was my first time renting a condo. I brought my 88 year old mother along to Myrtle Beach so I knew I needed limited walking and comfort. The Carolina Dunes exceeded those expectations. It was a beautiful kitchen for us to make meals and the perfect balcony to eat those meals. We slept in comfort too!

Sweet Carolina Dunes
The ocean front view was amazing, the double patio doors were huge and opened with ease, the master bedroom also had great views of the ocean and balcony was spacious. The beds were comfortable, the kitchen was nice, it was clean and had plenty of space for our family of 5. The pool was wonderful too, the pool chairs were very comfortable and I liked that there were also tables with umbrellas. The parking was right next to the building it couldn’t be better. Unlike most places where you have to use a parking structure across the street. We can’t wait to come back!

Thomas,
Thank you for your review. The balconies had just been painted a year or so ago. We will make recomendations to the owner to update some of the furnishings. We hope you will let us know next time you plan a trip to Myrtle Beach. We would love to find a property that you will enjoy staying in.

Perfect Girls Getaway!
This was our first time booking with Luxury Beach Rentals. We found them after striking out on AirBnb for places in Myrtle Beach that met our expectations for the price we wanted to pay. Overall, the entire experience was enjoyable. The communication was always clear from booking to checkout. <br/><br/>We stayed in Unit #502 in the Carolina Dunes building in Myrtle Beach. The unit was exactly as pictured. We had two bedrooms, two bathrooms and large open concept living spaces. The unit was squeaky clean upon arrival and our parking passes were waiting for us on the counter.<br/><br/>The kitchen was fully stocked with pots, pans, dishes, and cups for our stay. We love to cook on vacation, and we had everything we needed. The fridge/freezer was large and had an ice maker which was an additional bonus. <br/><br/>The bathrooms could use a bit of updating/minor repairs,, but nothing that made us regret staying there. The water pressure and hot water was perfect for the three of us staying there (many times using both showers at the same time). <br/><br/>There was plenty of room for storage of our clothes and items, and the balcony was a good size. The furniture on the balcony could be upgraded and washed, as it is plastic and gets dirty from the elements. We LOVED that the sliding doors opened almost the entire way. <br/><br/>The amenities provided were sufficient, the building was clean and well lit. It was very convenient to have a digital lock so we didn’t need to take a key to the beach. The unit is overlooking the grassy area and has an amazing view of the beach. The pool was clean but always busy with families, so it was hard to enjoy some days (but that is inevitable!).<br/><br/>Some things to note if staying:<br/>- The trash is no longer a cart, but a dumpster in the parking lot to the left of the building when looking at it from the parking area.<br/>- The chairs and umbrellas are not free, so bring your own if you can<br/><br/>Overall, great stay, and w

Our visit was great. The condo was very comfortable, the cabinets in the restrooms were a bit dated and low and an electric can opener would have been nice to have rather than a hand held. The bed in the master bedroom was very cofortable and the size and decor of the condo was very nice. We enjoy the location. We will plan to vacation at this location again.

Roaches in Master Bath
The unit itself was well equipped to prepare an entire Thanksgiving meal. When I walked in the kitchen there were several dead roaches on the floor. I killed 5 or 6 roaches in the master bath. I would recommend the unit.

Okay Vacation
The condo was relatively clean and well kept but there was mold in places. The furniture was fairly uncomfortable. We got stuck for a few minutes in the elevator that appeared to have been vandalized earlier in the day, although it was fixed the next day. The pool was very grimy. The biggest downfall was that the hotel/ condo complex next door was party central until very late at night. Not a very good place to relax. Other than those things, it was fine.

Our Impressive 2016 Vacation at Myrtle Beach
We were thoroughly impressed from the first moment we walked into the condo. The online pictures just didn't do it justice. This was our family's first trip to Myrtle Beach, so we were hoping for decent accommodations. To our surprise, the rental had far exceeded our expectations. The owners have done a great job in maintaining this property. The condo was spacious and clean with all updated amenities as promised. Although we were on the 5th floor, our condo was so private and noise free from other neighbors. The owner was so helpful and made it super easy once we got to the condo and we appreciate it. I would definitely recommend this condo for those thinking about renting it. The next time we come to Myrtle Beach, we hope this condo is available because we wouldn't think of staying anywhere else. Thanks for cherry on top of our summer vacation.

Nice, Peaceful Stay
This complex has a pool, kiddie pool, and beach access. It was a smaller complex, which meant no crazy amenities, but also easy parking, and not many others around, which was so nice. The condo itself has a great kitchen, and a beautiful master suite that has balcony access. The view was incredible. We initially chose this property because there were not a ton of extra fees attached, and I'm so glad we did!!!

Myrtle Beach August 2017 Vacation
In general satisfied with condo 502 at Carolina Dunes; but for a few disappointments, it cannot get 5 stars al across. To start with, getting access to the appartement was a bad experience. I have looked through my past emails and could not find the famous PIN (entry code to the door). Some other guest referred me to complete idiots at the Caravelle across the street that did not even let me dial your 1-888 number on their front desk phone...but he knew I was supposed to have a PIN number. I finally got the PIN number and get into the condo and Sh..! the place has not been cleaned, even at 5PM. No bed sheets, dirty towels etc. Dialed the 1-888 number again, from the condo and your efficient and apologetic "on duty" woman organised for cleaning ladies to come to the condo "pronto"! Then the little things: The kitchen sink faucet is installed backwards, so that to get hot water, one needs to turn the leaver to the "right". The toilet bowl in the center restroom is loose on its base. As long as the wax donut holds problem! The shower faucet in the same bathroom is very loose. A "luxury Condo" should not have these little maintenance problems. But it should offer a "secured WI-FI". Finally, the place has a very noisy neighbour to the north: "The Caravelle", with its super noisy pop music at the pool area, afternoon and evening. We did not sit on the balcony and gave the air conditionner a break by keeping the patio door closed. Speaking of that is very difficult to open or shut. I guess from an other maintenance issue, the bottom roller bearings must be shot! And luckily there is a broom stick to lock that door as the door lock is also kaput.<br/>Location...OK<br/>General comfort...OK<br/>Overall cleanliness...OK, although we were surprised that a bug spray contractor had to go around the condo "once a month"...on the 5th floor<br/>

We are very sorry to hear this. Just this week the owner is doing some updating to the unit. The beach chairs are stored in either the outdoor storage closet or indoor closet. We wish you had called during your stay as we could have brought you new chairs if they were not in the closets.

Nice view but way overpriced. This was most certainly not a luxury rental. The furniture looks like it came from a yard sale. The outside furniture had to be cleaned before it could be used and was of plastic Walmart quality. The pool was clean and well maintained as were the grounds. However my contract clearly stated no motorcycles or trailers but when we departed Thursday morning there were at least 15 parked under the front awning.

If you aren't back at the condo before 9:30 pm, you have to park up and across the street at an overflow parking garage.
