My family enjoyed our time together at Sunny Dunes. House location was great, but there were several disappointments inside. It was disappointing to find NO TV in the great room!!! There was only a small tv in the small room off the great room. That was very surprising given this is a 6 bedroom house which shows 12 person occupancy. My son bought a tv so we could all enjoy watching together in the great room.
Several other considerations…furniture in great room was a rather strange chaise lounge (children loved it), a sectional sofa which was too deep for most of us and a game table with four chairs. Really, no comfortable furniture for anyone. Far too many steps in inverted floor plan for a senior citizen (me). I think the house must have an elevator but was not available for renters. Wish we could have used it for luggage and groceries. There were numerous porches but precious few chairs (4 wooden rockers and 1 plastic one for 10 people). The kitchen was very well equipped , as was the laundry room with another small refrigerator, with everything we needed. They also had every small appliance you could imagine (blender, Cuisinart, etc…. even an air fryer which we didn't know how to use).
As a former DeBordieu owner, I understand the extra charge to use the club facilities. The owners are the dues payers and it's not right for them not to have first dibs, BUT, I was very put off that those who signed up prior to the rule change (Aug. 2021 for me) were not grandfathered. I specifically signed up for a house with golf membership and the idea of paying $200 a day PLUS golf guest fee was totally unacceptable. I dare say that ran off some renters which is sad for the owners.
