Couldn’t have ask for nicer people at Better Beach Rentals. They were so great working with us on our dates of stay. They were awesome about everything and their maintenance personnel were quick efficient and friendly. However there were some issues , not major, hot tub was very Sandy that’s only issue besides leak under sink and refrigerator. But maintenance fixed those very quickly. House isn’t a newer house but it’s a comfortable house for a couple. However if you’re an elderly couple I will say the entry steps are a little steep and walkway to the beach is a lot of sand before beach. Great thing is public walkway is right beside house and they have handicap mats at end of walkway made getting to the beach sooo easy. View from house to ocean is beautiful but partially blocked by tree and lots and lots of smaller shrubs. We did enjoy our stay very much .

Sandbox-House old but well equipped, nice porch

Place was so dark with wood paneling everywhere! Not enough light! Somewhat updated but still has seen its better days. Two lights were out and had to be replaced professionally as no stool was provided to reach anything-and they were speciality lights anyway and electrician had to come twice to fix - which they did! We also bought two light bulbs to replace in lamps. Lamp shade was also damaged, but most disappointing was the hot tub was not working. Nice location and great view of ocean. King bed was very, very comfortable.

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.

5 star view

Absolutely awsome view, house keeping could have done a little better job, but no major complaints. We had to purchase sheets due to the sheets being queen and the bed was a king, and one paper thin pillow per person so bring your own pillows and bedding fair warning. All in all the place was well worth it because of the view.
