Summary: What an amazing place! Lots of space to accommodate comfortably our group of 14 women (all in our 60’s). The cottages are stylishly decorated, and we all appreciated the comfortable bedding. The well appointed kitchen made it easy to prep our breakfasts and cocktail hour treats, which we enjoyed together on the wrap-around porch. The property also boasts lawn games, and a slew of Adirondack chairs to facilitate evening conversation around a fire pit. Ingrid is the consummate well-connected host. She connected us with a local winery, who did a private tasting for us on the lawn with a view of a spectacular sunset over the lakes and dunes, and a chef who made us an amazing dinner. Dune Lakes was also a perfect home base for other local activities - beach, hikes, spa, etc. Highly recommended!
