"Our stay was great! We have a 3 & 5 year old and we had more than enough space. There were all types of beach and pool toys in the container on the balcony along with 2 beach chairs, and a great beach wagon stored in the laundry closet!! The view of the ocean is great, and the walk to the beach is probably less than 350yds! RealJoy was extremely responsive and great to work with. There are shopping outlets and all types of great restaurants all walkable up to a 15 minute drive. There are also plenty of activities for the kids as well. If I had to name a complaint it would be that we didn’t bring our tent, there were dozens of people that had 8x8 tents set up on the area of the beach that sits between the resorts, and on other parts of the beach not situated in front of resorts. Other than that this was a wonderful trip and we would highly recommend to anyone with or without children."

Thankful for beach cart and misc toys, chairs, etc. Loved the convenience of getting food at the restaurant downstairs without having to leave the property. Room and spaces for our 3 different age groups all in the unit. Thanks and looking forward to our return!"
Stayed September 2023
"Exceeding expectations - This property was exactly as pictured. In fact, we were surprised at how well-stocked it was with kitchen appliances, including a slow cooker, cutting boards, and cooling rack.
The unit was very clean and there were several games and activities, as well as chairs, tubes, boogie boards, and other fun items for the beach.
The beach was a short and easy walk from the unit, even with four kids ranging from 3 to 10 and all the beach gear that kids "require." The pool was also very nice, and there are plenty of luggage carts and grocery carts by the elevators to make arrival and departure easy
I would recommend to anyone, and I would absolutely stay again."

There's a beautiful view of the beach from the patio and one of the bedrooms. The convenience of the beach toys and cart was nice. The walk to the beach is short.

"Comfort in Quarantine - Our stay at Ariel Dunes was very impressive.. I will admit that given the current situation we were a little weary to stay in a high rise with the possibility of Covid exposure but this location handled cleanliness very well and everyone on site was very respectful of social distancing and best practices when it came to common areas (ie elevators, pools).
Our rental was very well kept and had everything we needed and more. We had a total of 8 - four adults and four kids (14-11 years old) and we never felt as if we were crammed into a space too small for us. Kitchen was well stocked; full size fridge and working ice machine was a plus. The kids did state that a small fan for the bunk room would've been helpful; as a ceiling fan maybe tough given the size of the room. The balcony was a great space for meals, morning exercise and evening drinks to unwind. We were definitely impressed by the beach equipment in the bin on the balcony it was a great help! The guest book was a very unique touch and happy to say we left our words of appreciation to the owners there as well.
We would highly recommend staying at this property."

We stayed a weekend here with family friends and had a great time. The condo was clean, was in a great location and the owners did a wonderful and thoughtful job of including things like a beach wagon, boogie boards, toys and children's utensils that made our visit even more relaxing and enjoyable.
Our only recommendation would be to add some sort of a railing to the top bunk. Unfortunately, we weren't able to utilize the bed because we didn't have the peace of mind that one of our children wouldn't accidently fall out of bed in the middle of the night. Overall, we had an amazing experience"
