What Guests Are Saying
“Our 4th trip to Kiva Dunes. Highly recommend. We rented a small home. Perfect for the two of us. Provided everything you would need for a weeks stay. Even used the outdoor grill one night.” — Weerts, 5 stars
“Staff was great. Accommodations good. Only feedback 2 bedroom was advertised as king and queen. Was actially a king and two twins.” — Curious30939234901, 5 stars
“I was here for a quick weekend trip. The house we rented shared a pool with another house. Well, while attempting to enjoy the pool, my daughters were asked by the other houses’ guest (teenage boys) , why were they in their pool and told they were contaminating the pool. After hearing this I attempted have a word with the parents who were highly dismissive and preceded to shoo me away with an unconcerned thank you. Needless to say we didn’t feel comfortable being there after that and ended up leaving our rental earlier than expected. The resort is nice and well maintained but I would say if you don’t blend in, you will definitely stand out. Think about it!!!🤔. Also, the grey haired guy driving the golf cart could be a little more polite and show first timers some grace when they are not familiar with the area, but that’s another story.” — jamaal L., 3 stars

What guests are saying about Kiva Dunes.
"Just visited to play golf so I cannot speak to the resort or accommodations. Played on 12/29 and was easily the most wind I've played in. Staff was very friendly and course was in great shape. Pace of play was great but I'm sure the temp and wind kept some away. Always enjoy playing the course even in the tough conditions. Photos don't really capture the severity of the wind today."

The the clubhouse restaurant served a great breakfast at an excellent price for the amount of food served. The staff was friendly and helpful. The green fees were a little bit pricey for me, but to splurge for a vacation it was worth the price."
