House was clean, had all we needed and was convenient. Would highly recommend. In the back part of the complex farther from beach, but golf cart makes this a non-issue

We greatly enjoyed our week-long stay at Looney Dunes. The house was full of natural light and had everything we needed to be comfortable. My kids loved being so close to the playground. The homes in Beachwalk are very close together so there was a lot of noise from neighboring houses, which was the only real detraction. There is no parking at this house but there was plenty at the house next door.

Overall this property was great! Everything was clean and the golf cart made getting to the beach / pool very easy. The only two issues are that the parking is very limited and shared with another property. Also, the kids park is literally right in front of the property. Be prepared for some nighttime shenanigans.

We had a wonderful stay at Loony Dunes It really is right on the edge of the playground, which was fun for both my grandchildren. Parking was confusing because the playground is so close. We were told they were rearranging signs to take care of the issue. Even the weather cooperated in such a rainy year. The basketball area was flooded, but there is another court fairly close on school grounds Our only complaint is that we did find a few ticks on the patio/grill area, of course that's not unusual for any wooded area The managers had someone coming to spray the day we left The upstairs mattresses really are very stiff Our suggestion for improvement would be a shower head with spray capabilities in the tub for bathing little ones

Great place for a single family with small kids. The location on a dead end with the park right across from the house was really nice. The house was clean and well stocked for us to cook our meals. The pool area and grounds were nice and well kept. The golf cart parking by the beach entrance was really nice. We really enjoyed our stay here and plan to come back!

The grounds and beach access are great. There was a fabulous park for our little ones to play. The resort itself could use at least one more pool since it was often. We spent the majority of our time at the beach. The golf cart access is great. The house could use some new mattresses. The beds were uncomfortable. But the layout is great and it was very clean. The fire pit was a bonus.

Property was clean and as described. Golf cart made traveling to pool and beach convenient. Property is very close to children’s park, but windows were insulated, so it wasn’t a problem for us. House is small and was perfect for 2 adults and 2 children.

Stayed 4th of July week with wife and 3 kids (2,4,10 years old). House is well appointed and kitchen has supplies needed. Nice bathrooms, upstairs has a tub for kids. Not shown in photographs is a nice patio with table/chairs outside. Kids loved being next to the park and golf cart! Only con was in regards to resort, pool was very crowded and you needed to get there shortly after opening to reserve a chair, they went quick. Kids pool for younger children separate from larger pool was nice as well.

This is a cute little house right next to the Sandcastle playground. It is well stocked and provides good space for a family with children. The golf cart is fun for getting around quickly. We would suggest upgrading the main bedroom bed, which is quite poor. It would be nice to have a chest of drawers or something to put clothing on upstairs.

The house was clean and neat. The only negative was the house was on a slope.

We had a wonderful weekend at Looney Dunes. It was a wonderful location and the amenities were very nice with the golf cart and pool and other outdoor things to do with free kayak and paddle board use on the lake and tennis and all.

The cottage was perfect for our family including a 4 & 2 year old. They loved the playground, which was pretty much in the backyard. The golf cart is perfect for getting around the community and to the beach. The management company was very helpful in fixing 2 minor issues. Would suggest a bureau for the upstairs bedroom and a couple of beach chairs that would be available to renters. Overall great stay!

I had a fantastic time at Clapton's Corner! It was well stocked with all I needed, was extremely clean, and I loved the resort.

Staying at Clapton's Corner was delightful as the home is well equipped for a family of 4 or 5.
The location is very quiet despite being by the playground, which was a concern at first. It's nice that it's off the way a little bit so you can sit out, read a book and enjoy some quiet time.
The kitchen is very well appointed with everything needed for entertaining and then some. The little extras like plenty of garbage bags, dishwasher soap, dish washing soap, zip lock bags, tupperware etc. - very helpful if you are not eating out all the time.
The living room was very comfortable for lounging and having conversations, as it held 6 adults very nicely.
A few recommendations for future updates at Clapton's Corner....the mattresses are dreadfully uncomfortable and the rug in the front room under the dining room table is not secured so it makes for a mess after the chairs are moved around a few times. And this is a very small item- but there weren't any hot pads in the kitchen.
Overall, we would give our stay an 8 out of 10!

Claptons Corner is a cozy little cottage that is nicely decorated and very clean. For the right family, it would be great.

For us, it was too close to the park (directly across the alleyway) so it was pretty noisy. I do NOT blame the owners for this as I didn't pay enough attention to the location when I booked it.

I really only have two complaints:

1. The internet is pretty much unusable, which is problem if you're trying to get some work done. This is not a problem unique to this property, many of the rentals we've had out there use AT&T because its cheaper than Comcast, but its terrible...like dial-up terrible.

2. The listing says it has a DVD/Blu-ray player which we assumed was accurate so we grabbed a bunch of old movies we wanted to catch-up on only to find out that there wasn't one.

I understand its a beach property so most folks are outdoors, but in the early/rainy season - its nice to have some indoor things to do.

My only other suggestions would be to add ceiling fans to the bedrooms for both ambient noise to also move some fresh air around. Also, maybe add a toaster.

As I said, its a cute, well maintained property that just needs to address their technology a bit.

Enjoyed this well-designed and comfortable house. Extremely well-stocked. Everything worked properly. Plenty of amenities, like games, books, cable, gas fireplace, ceiling fan, bikes, golf cart, grill, beach stuff, etc. Disappointed more attention wasn't given to care of the yard and the lack of a balcony, deck, or patio. Though the mattress may be fairly new and good quality, it's comfort didn't particularly blow us away. Being a cozy cottage for two retirees for a short getaway, paying the damage and cleaning fees is a bit hard to swallow.
