Fabulous Location!!

We chose this property for its location and proximity to the beach -- oceanfront! It was wonderful to wake up to the sound of the ocean waves each morning!! The unit was a bit small for 6 adults, but we made it work! There were a couple of minor issues that were taken care of quickly. We would suggest more shelving in the 1/2 bath and master bath for placing toiletries/cosmetics, etc., and nicer bath and hand towels, as they were a bit thin. Otherwise, we loved the location and the condo itself was clean!!!

Beautiful wide beach!

The condo is nice and updated. It was weird that they had notes that said “do not use “ on silverware and plates even tho there’s a dishwasher. Beach was beautiful but not easy to access if older or handicapped. Awesome location! Clean except for balconies really needed vacuuming or sweeping. Pools were great but there are no hot tubs. Seems like there used to be but they’ve made them kiddie pools. Overall, we had a wonderful trip!

AB Vacation

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: WE had a great time and the condo was good. The only issue was the dishwasher was broken for 4 days and we had to hand wash all our dishes. Not the end of the world, but definitely inconvenient. This was our 2nd year at this location and we are planning on coming back again, hopefully we won't have any other appliance issues.

July 2023 Stay

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We love Dunescape where we have stayed for at least one week each year since the mid 1980's and in this particular unit for the past several years. We remain overall very pleased with the unit's condition and in dealing with the rental management company. There are a few maintenance items that need to be addressed including the dryer not drying, the latch to the front screen door being very hard to open (we had to leave the door propped open), and the light over the stove being out. Also, the Dunescape HOA's policy of not allowing renters to use the parking spots under the building is highly annoying/disrepectful and effectively relegates renters to second class status while on property.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: April's Retreat is a perfect getaway on one of the best beaches on the east coast! The unit is clean and well-stocked. The oceanfront views and access is worth renting alone. We would definitely return.

Great location - all Atlantic Beach amenities including direct beach access and pools!

8 adults aged 60-20 stayed in April’s Retreat. The beds were comfy and the linens kitchen were well stocked with everything we needed. Beautiful balcony view of the beach and quick access to the pool. In the morning, a nice 2-1/2 mile walk down the beach for a great breakfast at the pier or 4 Corners. We will come again and be delighted to get this unit. The unit manager, Edith, was easy to communicate with and answered all our questions before arrival.
