Great location... Nice music with a great view but unfortunately the food doesn't equal the scenery. Let's be honest here---we come to get our bellies full of tasty goodness so all of the other niceties dont mean much if the food is bad. The Food-- the waiter recommended the fish tacos and who can say no to that. Well I should have! The fish was a small and flat -almost looked like frozen mahi from Walmart. It looked like the chef ( used loosely) had dumped old bay all over and had taken no care to even spread it out even... read more

Totally not the restaurant's fault but be aware that it is private and everyday folk won't be allowed in.

I got their shrimp appetizer (1/2 a pound was plenty) which comes with a cocktail sauce. I have to say it was quite disappointing. They did not have a description so I didn't know what to expect. It came out room temperature, steamed, sprinkled with a bit of Cajun seasoning and some lemon wedges. It wasn't horrible tasting but I was left super disappointed. At this point, silly me, I had already ordered my shrimp taco as well. Same deal here, room temperature but this has no seasoning at all, so it was just naked steamed shr... read more

TERRIBLE!!! Food was horrible and cold. Grilled cheese was a slice of cheese on bread. Our server Nikki was very rude and didn't help us when we needed help. Do not waste money here

This is an amazing beach restaurant with the best fish tacos around. Love the blackened fish with beans, cheese, lettuce, and sauce. I cannot leave the island before eating here at least once. Perfect with a cold beer and live music.

I was not impressed with the very few options on the menu & the fish tacos were very bland. The fish tastes as bland as lettuce. Great location & friendly staff.

Probably great food and I was excited based on the reviews; however, you need to be a member to eat there and this was not communicated on the phone. Waste of gas and time, communicate these things on the phone for future guests, please.

I come to the dune house often when staying in Palmetto Dunes. It's not fancy or 5 star dining but it is one of the best beach bars on the island, hands down. I recommend having drinks and lunch there mid day or a few prime time cocktails just as the sun is setting low. Check your high class attitude at the pool and enjoy the casual beach side atmosphere at the Dunes House.

Stopped by the Dunes House during a beach bike ride with the family. Great beach spot with the kids, and Christina our bartender was super nice. We did the fish tacos and on Christina's recommendation, and the kids got sliders and frozen lemonades. Good mix of people, some golfers, a few dressed up folks, and several beach goers in swim suits like us. We liked that they cooked on several big grills right out on the deck. Food was great and we had a few different beers.
