Thanksgiving beach week

The house and location to the beach were great! Property Manager was great! The only negative was the spying drone that came around hovering over us when we were on the front deck!

Just enough space

We had a great time here at Blessings in the Sand. I’m so sad it’s already over. We booked this house back in December and couldn’t wait to get here. The other half of our family stayed in the house across the street on the corner. We couldn’t have done that again if we tried to plan that so that was cool! The kitchen was stocked with everything we needed and more. We really enjoyed the Adirondack chairs on the deck where we drank our cups of coffee every morning. We had no trouble sleeping. The beds were comfortable. The only negative thing I would comment on is probably the living room furniture needs updating. Thank you for sharing your home with us!

Wonderful grandkids holiday

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This house is beautiful. The layout is perfect. The area is perfect for kids. The beach is not crowded. Loved it so much. The only thing I was disappointed about was the half bath. In the main listing it says 4 bathrooms. But in the break down it does say one half bath. Just a minor negative. Most everything else was perfect. Plus I messaged with questions a few times and I received prompt responses. Highly recommend!!

We love this place. This is our third time staying at this house. The gates were a plus since we had a two year old with us. He did find a loose balliste, but maintaince came out promptly and fixed it. The kitchen is ver spacious with a very roomy pantry.

Great Vacation

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This is the 3rd year that we have stayed at Blessings in the Sand. We love it and it is very pet friendly. We were a little disappointed with the lack of towels on this past visit. I would have brought some of my own had I known they were going to cut back. Overall, we love the house!

Loved the neighborhood feel - lots of kids out riding bikes and playing. Nights were quiet. House was just as pictured, clean upon arrival, all the kitchen stuff you need, grill was in good shape, loved the gates on each porch perfect for keeping the little ones from going down the stairs. Overall it was a great vacation.

Extended Family Beach Getaway

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Overall, our stay was good. The layouts of the rooms could have been a little different in my opinion. Having the jack and jill bathroom to be shared between up to 8 people was a bit much. We had 6 of us sharing that bathroom most of the time. I was thankful for 2 sinks on opposite sides in that bathroom. The property manager was helpful and able to address some issues that came up.The distance we had to walk to get to the beach each day was very easy. That was a definite plus!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: My family absolutely loved everything about this rental. The property management group was so helpful with any questions we had prior to and during our stay. The owner of the property even stopped by one morning to introduce himself and make sure we were enjoying our stay. The amenities provided were great. The house was even better than it looked in pictures. Loved how close it was to the beach and the neighborhood was so nice and quiet. 10/10 will be booking our next beach vacation at Blessings in the Sand!

Fun week

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Unit was nice and good size for our family. Clean look but it could use a good cleaning as pretty dirty under beds, blinds, light fixtures, top of fridge and other places like that. Not enough wash towels provided so had to wash them each day to shower. AC filter was filthy. Looked like it hadn’t been changed in weeks. Like I said unit was good size and worked for us. We had a good time and enjoyed our stay. Just a short walk to the beach.

Relaxing beach vacation

We enjoyed the beach house!! Everything worked (air conditioner, dish washer, ect). Plenty of kitchen supplies for 6 adults and 3 kids. Really appreciated gate on the porches to keep the 2 year contained.

It was nice.

We have stayed in this area many times prior and have always enjoyed our stay. The house was nice. Wish it would have had a few more kitchen utensils (frying pans) but other than that we had everything we needed. The walk to the beach was nice. Really could not have asked for anything more. The house was perfect for my family.
