Great view, loved the hot tub, we were unable to get in the door on a Sunday and after hours were very friendly and helpful to get us right in. Bathroom had an odor and previous guests laundry bags were left by the steps our entire stay are our only complaints. Will stay here again.

Overall a really good stay. The good: beach is 2 min walk, showers all good plenty of hot water, great mattress in primary bedroom, washer and dryer. Not as good: no pot holders, TV lacked instructions, walkway and steps to shower had nails sticking up with worn boards.We would stay again.

Great little beach house

Great little beach house for my husband and I. The king bed was comfortable as was the den furniture. The porch looking at the ocean was great! There is a public walkway just to the right of the house that we used to take our stuff to the beach. I wish the house had rocking chairs but, I knew this upfront based on the pictures so I brought my own. It is a great little beach house with an old-school vibe and we would definitely rent this property again.

May vacation

The house was very relaxing and the porch had a view that was amazing. The only complaints were that the silverware wasn’t all clean and it seemed that the hot tub had not been cleaned from the previous stay since there was sand in it.

Children’s first beach trip

We traveled as a family of 6. It was our youngest, 18 month old daughter, 4 year old son, mom, dad, pawpaw and great pawpaw traveling. The house was very accommodating and being ocean front was amazing. I believe the hot tub was a hit as well.

A few days away

I booked the Sandbox very last minute to get a few days away from the stresses of everyday life. It was the perfect place. Location right on the beach was great, the house was very clean and cozy, and the management company was very helpful in getting us back in the house after we locked ourselves out. Would definitely recommend.
