Our Hidden Dunes Vacation
We loved the condo. It was more dated than the pictures, but it was perfect for us and roomy for 3 people. The property was beautiful as well. Again, more dated than the picture, but beautiful. The beach was better than we imagined, and the hot tub and pools were used every day. The only thing we didn't love was the traffic outside the resort. We rented bikes and our 12 yr. old with autism didn't like riding on the bike trail along that busy road, so we just drove the bikes to a different location to go biking....but that is not the resorts fault. The owners of hidden dunes must scrèen the renters well, because all the people there were very nice, and all the owners we met as well. I had a few questions during our stay for the owners of our condo and they always responded in a timely matter. And one last thing....we felt very safe there with the security team being at the entrance gate 24/7. A d they were very polite and always greeted us with a smile.

Hello. We are Scott and Lisa Justus, and we live in Villa Rica, GA. We have 3 children and are delighted that you are visiting with us.

Why they chose this property

We love Hidden Dunes and have been coming to the area since college days at Auburn (many years ago). Growing up in Birmingham/Atlanta (for Lisa) and Asheville, N.C. (for Scott), the white sugar sand beaches of this area have always seemed to be calling our names. We never want to leave. We live in Atlanta now and can be at our beach house in an easy 5 1/2 hour drive. Hidden Dunes was a beach tennis/pickleball resort Scott and I admired for many years. We met playing ALTA tennis in Atlanta (he beat me in mixed doubles) and thought this was a PERFECT place for our family's beach home. We chose the perfect cottage located in the lush landscaping of this amazing secluded beach paradise (near the beach, pool, basketball, pickleball and tennis).

What makes this property unique

Our cottage is nestled in Hidden Dunes' twenty-seven acres of beautiful landscaping. The Resort is masterfully designed, constructed & landscaped to enhance the natural beauty of the beaches and creates a unique sense of privacy.
