We've been vacationing in Wrightsville Beach for several years and this, by far, was the best! The condo was recently renovated to include wood floors, flat screen tvs in each room, & granite countertops in kitchen. The owners obviously have taken great care to make this a beautiful place to stay. The only drawback was the living room furniture. It was very uncomfortable and worn out. Hopefully its replacement will be the next on their list.

Reviewer Comments:
While there I wrote a poem concerning my experience, here it is: The Beach in October 2011 In October the beach is such a beautiful place, How blessed we are to enjoy this time and space. Away from our daily burdens and worldly cares, To spend time in meditation and thankful prayer. Fluffy white clouds drift in the light blue sky, Occasionally a formation of sea gulls fly by. Watching the waves roll in and outward go, Calms my spirit and soothes my soul. Life is like a ship on the ocean waves, Moving gently and peaceful on calm days. But when the tempest comes, it is tossed about Filling our lives with burdens, strife and doubt. Then God, the creator of earth, sky and sea Reaches out in love to rescue you and me. Pfd Wishing you peace and love, Pansy F. Dodson

Have rented this unit many times . The unit, 2211, is comfortable and well appointed. Great location. Well stocked kitchen utensils. Recently renovated baths are an improvement. Overall terrific but to make even better may I offer a few suggestions? Bedspreads, pads, throw rugs need washing Hard floors need good scrubbing New faucets need to be checked for installation.. some are already out of line and won’t last long with high use. Duneridge needs more frequeant trash removal !! Thank you for the great visit

We had a wonderful time at Dunridge and Wrightsville Beach. We did have a few problems with no hot water in one bathroom, problems with the kitchen faucet and the sliding door to the balcony. But they came right away when we called to fix the problems. We have rented at Dunridge many times and this is the 1st time to have problems. We love Dunridge and Wrightsville Beach and I just booked another week for October.

Beautiful View...no hot Water.
Property was very clean and the view was magnificent....however the hot water heater/tank wasn’t functioning properly and we had to call maintenance 3 times. Cold water showers aren’t pleasant when a family of 6 (4 under 10) had to take cold showers.
Maintenance guy with the killer ponytail was attentive and reset the system quickly however when you have dinner reservations it was a disaster. The garbage disposal was a little tired and took forever to drain.
Overall if those items are resolved, definitely recommend.

Pool was nice and property had a good location to grocery store etc. However the unit was dirty when we arrived and kitchen was not very functional. Bathrooms where out dated along with bedrooms. Been to other beaches like Destin, FL and stayed in beach condos much nicer for the same money. Enjoyed our vacation but would not stay in this unit again. Beach was nice however.

Reviewer Comments:
This is a nice unit with good amenities, lovely view. The overall cleaning of these units could be improved. The laundry room area and cupboards need to be stripped, cleaned out completely and restocked...same for closets. New pillows, bed pads and at least master mattress need replacing. The code for beach access is great as opposed to the credit card needed in years past. One code also makes it easier for all instead of changing code weekly. Unfortunately, Duneridge always seems to come up with some new, unnecessary, tedious hoop for renters...this year it was downloading and printing a 15 minute parking pass to display as the renter runs into the office for keys and weekly parking pass...Please, enough!!!!!!

Our only problem was how the on-site office handled our building's power outage on 9/12 at 7:30 AM. We notified Duke Energy about it and a local contractor came to check it out. I went to the front office and the manager knew nothing about it and did not seem too concerned, he just wondered if it was only our building that was effected. I checked with the contractor for an idea when power would be restored. That afternoon we were relocated to a motel for the night. The next day we returned to find the ice melted, water all over the floor, which we promptly wiped up. I notified the on-site person, who again was not concerned even though other units probably had the same issue. Also we tossed over $30 worth of groceries (cheese, milk, sliced meat, yogurt etc.) and had to go out for dinner, breakfast and lunch during the outage since we could not prepare food. Staff at the main office was very helpful, setting up our relo and notifying us when the power was restored 30 hours after the breaker blew. On-site person, not so much.

HVAC maintenance issue: stopped working on weekend. Repairman had to come at 9:30 pm. Sounded like a routine mtnce issue not properly cared for on a routine basis; dishwasher showed it was working but no water came in; didn't realize til Wed with a full load of dishes that we had to handwash all week. Mgt offered to get repairman, but I said not, not on the last day of our week. Unit would benefit by removing all throw rugs. They looked dirty; unsure if spreads on beds were clean, so did not use them. Chairs in LR and at the outside table were not comfortable for those of us with back trouble; Rocking chair was great! Stove and frig worked great. At sink, there was drip on the main faucet and the soap dispenser was broken when we came in; there was a broken iron on the shelf in the laundry. ? about the seal over the disposal; it kept slipping down into the mechanism. Probably needs checking for safety. We did like the 2nd floor and the fact that there were very few guests in residence last week. Thanks so much.

The view was amazing. The condo overall was a great space for us. The garbage disposal did not work. The floors and bathrooms could have been much cleaner. Especially the floors under the chairs, beds and furniture in general. We think the breaker tripped in the bathrooms and front room with the single beds while we were blow drying our hair. It was disappointing that the pool was closed. It looked so nice. When I checked out the girl at the desk didn't ask how our stay was. I thought that was a little strange. Other than that our stay was great.

Overall, we had a nice get-away, enjoying the beach as well as the area. Although the condo was clean & updated in a few ways, the bathroom could definitely use some attention. We were also disappointed the pool was closed due to maintenance issues, which I was NOT told about after asking numerous times. We chose this destination bc of the pool option so as you can imagine adults and kids were not pleased to see it blocked off from use.
