Location is wonderful

Would most definitely stay here again! Buffalo Dunes was a great choice for our family vacation. The layout of the home was perfect for our family of 12 to have plenty of room and not feel like we were on top of each other. The location on the beach is wonderful as well. We were able to spend the day at the beach and then back out at night for crab hunting, which the kids loved! Wonderful experience overall!!

All you need

Love the convenience of the beach. Could communicate with family on beach from house. Public beach with road access was nice to prep our beach spot with no heavy liffting and carrying. House was perfect in every way. Could fit 3 couples and kids room with just the right amount of privacy and community. Lived the spacious living/dining/kitchen. Will plan on bookibg again. No desire to leave the beach for the pool.

Memorial Day Beach Fun

Our 2 girls and 4 grandchildren had a great trip. We had an issue with the toilet and the property manager was very quick to respond. This was a perfect house for our family.
