Nice but dated unit.
This property is dated. The beds were very uncomfortable as was the pull out sofa. The kitchen cabinets were very dated and the stove top was the old coil type and the burners did not set level so that everything tended to go to one side. We loved having a washer and dryer and dish washer. The location was perfect however. The views were gorgeous. When we arrived there was a spot at the threshold of the master bedroom were the carpeting was worn back and the tack strip was sticking up and our little granddaughter and myself stepped on it which was quite painful. I called maintenance and they came and put duct tape over it as a tempoary fix. Also the owner has a notice on the slider in the master bedroom asking that you keep all doors and windows closed which I thought was odd as who doesn't want to feel the ocean breeze and hear the waves crashing?

Great getaway!
This is a very clean condo with nice furniture and view. The master mattress wasn't that comfortable but not miserable. The only other drawback is just the general location. There's been a lot of erosion that far south on the island so during high tide, there isn't a lot of beach space. We had to leave earlier than desired a couple of days because the tide came in so far but that was likely due to a storm off the coast. All in all, definitely a great condo at a reasonable price compared to many others. Would definitely stay there again!

Needs updating
I understand this is a beach property but it is not very well maintained. Location is excellent but for what the cost was they should at least have removed this headboard wrapped in a dirty mattress cover. No idea why it was even there. I did see it in a previous review so why would you leave it??

Search for another condo in Ocean Dunes
My family and I have stayed at Ocean Dunes before and we were unimpressed by the quality of this property's maintenance. The listing photos present the property well, but in real life the space feels old and dingy -- from the awful kitchen cookware and utensils, to the bathroom faucet nearly coming off the wall (a previous reply from the property management company says it was repaired, but it's not), to none of the three televisions being in working order. (Yes, we called Bryant Real Estate to have the TVs fixed and no one came to service them during our five-day, off-season stay.) Like other reviews we were also woken and disturbed by noise from the upstairs unit. All that said, the indoor pool is a lovely off-season feature and you cannot get more oceanfront than Ocean Dunes but there are so many properties in this complex, I would not stay at this listing again and I will NEVER pay the extra fee for a real estate managed property here. Better to find a listing managed by the owners and save yourself the outrageous extra fee.

Long Weekend in Kure Beach
Great weekend in Kure Beach and Ocean Dunes. With the nice weather we got to get a beach day in and on the other days took advantage of the indoor pool. Condo was perfect size for us and was exactly how it was described.
