Good vision, bad execution, dirty!
The good:
1. The beach access is lovely, the short walk to the wide open WA coast is truly delightful: the bridge, the dunes, the solitude. Nice.
2. The clientele was low-key and courteous, mindful of quiet hours, and for the two nights we were there, everyone kept to themselves.
3. Alex - I'm not sure if she is the property manager, but she was welcoming, friendly, and helpful. When we found the shared bathhouse to be unsuitable to our needs she helped us identify a vacant accommodation on the property. A genuinely nice and helpful person!
4. Charlie Tent - we only entered for a few minutes to check it out, and it seemed to match the expectation set on the site. We did not end up staying there as we could not see using the shared bathhouse.
The bad: which was very bad
1. The "luxury bathhouse" is amongst the worst I have ever encountered. Unusable. The sink area, the toilet areas, the shower stalls, the floors - every surface was disgusting. The smell was intolerable, there were smears and sticky pools of unknown substances everywhere, it was filthy.
2. We stayed in a Queen Studio Suite w/ Kitchenette and it had potential to be adorable - but again, it was pretty grubby. Food particles from previous renters in fridge and on surfaces, ants everywhere, the water smelled...bad!
Pacific Dunes shows up well online and for social media but needs quite a bit of work to reach the promise being sold by Jet Hospitality. Focusing on cleanliness would be a great start.
