Great Time at Ocean Dunes 1603

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Ocean Dunes 1603 was perfect for the two of us. Ocean front view was great. Exactly as pictured, very clean and well stocked. We had three issues that A1 promptly took care of. Toilet tank quit filling, repaired that day. A/C quit cooling, repaired that same day. Ice maker in fridge wasn’t working. David( property manager?) offered to bring bags of ice when it was determined ice maker couldn’t be repaired. We came back later in the day to find a counter top ice maker was brought in!! Now that’s customer service! Kudos to Kayla in the office, David and a few others for their professionalism. Everyone at A1 was very friendly, professional and focused on our satisfaction. Ocean Dunes 1603 is a beautiful unit with the upstairs loft with 2nd bathroom. The spiral stairs can be a little scary but we had no issues going up or down. We will rent again from A1 Property Management! And have decided to rent 1603 again this year if possible. We love how quiet it was at this particular building. Great job A1! We will recommend you guys and can’t wait to come back!!

We had a wonderful five night stay. My favorite part of the week was sitting on the deck watching the waves and drinking coffee. The condo is in a great location, a short walk around the building and the walkway to the beach is there directly in front of the deck. We had everything we needed in the condo to make our stay enjoyable. The pools were all close to the condo and it was a short drive to the aquarium and Fort Fisher. I’d definitely recommend to others.

David of A1 Property Management has a beautiful condo right at the beach! We loved staying here, plenty of space for the two of us and within 5 minutes of the aquarium at Fort Fisher. Fort Fisher itself is undergoing a remodel so we couldn't visit this year. I highly recommend this place.Thank you A1 for a wonderful vacation!
