This place is kind of a dump. The rooms were VERY musty and smelled like smoke, even though we had a "non-smoking room". Carpets turned your socks black. Just didn't feel clean. Maybe OK for a night or two, but I think there are better options out there. Didn't get the impression that the staff cared at all. For the... More

This is a smaller, older motel in the "family beach" town of Kure Beach, NC. Much like Kure Beach's personality, it's quiet and friendly. We like Sand Dunes and stay here often. There's not a lot of frills... but here's what we like: 1) it is a "family" motel - and we have decades of good family memories here 2)... More

The Sand dunes is right on top of the ocean & in walking distance to everything. We stay here when the smaller Motel next door is booked up. Pier, restaurants & stores all so close. Park & walk. Nice pool & staff No fancy Hotel or room service. But to families that like to fish & swim Perfect

We stayed here last year over Memorial Weekend and loved it. So we took a long weekend in July and went back to the Sand Dunes. Rooms have been remodeled...wifi is better...and the housekeeping staff was friendly and did an excellent job. Location is perfect. We'll be back.....again

Husband and I drove by the Sand Dunes and decided this was the place to stay. The front desk clerks were so friendly and helpful. Our room was on the first floor, ocean view and cost $153.00 plus taxes for one night. Little pricey, but it was a lovely view. My only complaint is the pillows; they were very lumpy.... More

Needed a quick get away and wanted to try something new in the area so we went with San Dunes. Right on the beach, nice pool, easy parking, the young lady at the desk was super nice and very helpful when I locked myself out of the room (thanks!!). Beach access is about as good as it can get- walk... More
