My family and I (total of 8) just got home from a wonderful week at Kiva Dunes! This home was absolutely perfect for our stay. It is VERY close to the pool and a pretty short walk to the beach, although we chose to use the free shuttle as it was extremely hot. The house had everything we needed for our stay. It was a very comfortable home, and the community was beautiful and overall safe. There are some homes being worked on and some being built so you do have construction noise and traffic, but it honestly didn't bother us. If you choose to use the free shuttle, please bring tips for the drivers. They are so nice! I recommend using the east beach access as it was an easy boardwalk to walk on (I am disabled and had no issues using this access, eventhough there are a few (4) stairs). Once on the beach at this access, there were NO crowds. It was so perfect! Thank you, Amy, for letting us rent your property! We very much enjoyed ourselves!
