| Very well maintained with regards to unit and grounds/facilities. Great staff. Many, many things for families to do (all ages). Recommend you call 1 or 2 weeks prior to vacation to confirm your unit. There was a litle confusion at my check in: my oceanfront was changed to a non-oceanfront but it was corrected in 5 minutes with no hassle. I was glad that I had called ahead & knew name of correct unit.

| We had a wonderful time at Wild Dunes and loved our villa. The only downside was the sisal wall to wall carpeting - my feet are still recovering from that. Nicely decorated, kid friendly, and comfortable furniture and beds. Nice trip.
