The property looked like pictures for the most part. FYI...wagon there but no contents as picture shows.
Overall, we were happy with the unit except for some amenities.
Couch definitely needs cleaned. Bedspreads for sure need washed, sheets were stained, old and very rough in the master. I ended up buying my own sheets to use for the week. The beds were VERY firm with no padding or padded mattress covers. The so-called "queen" bed in the second bedroom was very hard and small (we didn't feel it was a real queen size). My son-in-law ended up sleeping on the sofa all week because they were so cramped on the bed. Kids slept on sofabed which was hard, but expected and they didn't care. Sheets and pillows were supplied for all beds (though not very nice sheets) but absolutely NO blankets in the unit other than the spreads on the two beds.
Not enough towels/washclothes. Had to do laundry every day to have enough for 6 people. Again, I ended up buying some bath towels for us to use and we had our own beach towels.
The knob to start the dryer was broke (which we alerted rental company of the first day) and they brought up a pair of pliers to use saying they knew it was broke but glued it on hoping it would hold (came off first time I touched it) and had ordered a new knob (which was supposed to be there mid week but they never came to replace). No matter, the dryer worked by using pliers to turn on.
We eat two meals in the unit and there was minimal cooking pans, but we made do with what they had. Could use a pitcher in the unit.
The rental company was very cooperative and easy to use.
This is our 4th time staying at an Ariel Dunes unit. We do like the location, views from our balcony, walking proximity to beach and the price point.
Pools were never crowded until our last day.
A large family arrived and took over playing very inappropriate music very loudly that children should not be hearing.....so we ended our pool time early because of it. They were also very rowdy in the pool around the children. That was our only "problem" with other guests during our week. We did not complain, just left the area.
We had good accommodations and a great trip, but we have definitely stayed in more "comfortable" units in that building. I know it is a fine line for owners since some renters do not treat the accommodations respectfully (aka, broken dryer knob and broken lamp in closet).
