This was our 8th family reunion in Secluded Dunes at the Cape, but first time at this house. We wish we could say that the house was worthy of the cost, but unfortunately, there were too many issues to justify the price. We needed a large home to accommodate our family, and there are only two homes in Secluded Dunes that have 7 bedrooms. The other home was still under renovation due to Hurricane Michael, as were several of the homes on the Cape (very sad to see). The positives about the house are: the location, large kitchen/eating/family room with long dining table that fit a good amount of people, kitchen was well-stocked with utensils and other items, great TV in family room, comfortable beds, two large master bedrooms with private bathrooms, working elevator, large covered parking area that can accommodate several vehicles, expansive windows and decks to give beautiful view of water, ice making machine and wine cooler in kitchen, and game room with pool table. The negatives were primarily maintenance and poor construction issues. The outdoor showers were not working well nor clean, but full of mold, and a large bird had made a nest between the showers. The property around the house was full of debris ( one of our family members went around and filled a whole garbage bag). Though the inside of the house was pretty clean, the outside needed attention. There are A LOT of stairs to the beach, so be prepared if anyone in your group has mobility issues. There are pocket doors on the jack-in-jill shared bathrooms that do not lock well or stay closed. Some of the showers did not work well or at all. We were told it was a water pressure issue on the cape, but we did not experience this issue at other houses we had stayed at. When we mentioned this to the rental agency, they were quick to send someone out to try to rectify the situation, but unfortunately we still had some problems. In another review, someone mentioned that some "punch items" were not completed. We would agree. Little things like no toilet paper holders in the bathrooms, though small, would not be expected in such a "grand, high-priced" home. Also the AC system needed some work. Freezing in some rooms and hot in others. Would we rent again? Probably, mostly because of the size of the home and its location. However, we would hope that some issues would be fixed in the future.
