Listing Looks Great with Potential—Reality Was Unsafe and Poorly Maintained

Renter beware. The listing for “A Sandy Cheeks” significantly misrepresents the property. Broken and malfunctioning amenities, dark and unsafe stairs and back deck (all string lights don't work), unreliable internet, and a hot tub that wasn't usable the first night. Most concerning, I was lightly electrocuted when trying to plug in outdoor string lights which essentially provide all the light for the back deck. Management was notified about issues but never followed up.

Family Beach Getaway

We had a fabulous time at Sandy Cheeks. The proximity to the beach can't be beat, and the layout of the home was perfect for our needs. The home is beautifully decorated, and the upstairs game room was an added plus. I highly recommend staying here.

Excellent stay!

We hate telling people but on e again this place had everything we needed. The home was clean, lots of seating, enough plates and silverware to meet our large families needs. The pits and pans were plenty and not cheap. We had such a great time we added a few things to make others stay as nice as ours as a thank you. The king size beds had one really soft, one medium, and one firm, something for everyone and that was a huge hit! Hope others enjoy Sancy Cheeks as mich as we did.

Wonderful Beach House

Great place for our birdwatching party of 7. Unfortunately the strong winds meant minimal time on the deck - it was still lovey to look out the windows at the rough surf. The living and kitchen were so light from all the windows and the kitchen had a great layout to accommodate us all at the same time. Huge bonus was having the lift for our luggage!

Annual Family Beach Trip

We had an awesome time despite the weather. There was 8 of us and we had plenty of room. Love the large bar/table where we could all eat and play games together. Nothing better than being directly on the beach-which is a must for this family.
