A Mixed Experience at White Sands Village
Upon arrival at White Sands Village, we encountered issues with cleanliness, including stained bedding in the master bedroom, unclean towels in the second bathroom, and food residues on kitchen appliances. Dust was also prevalent on various surfaces. The property owner was responsive, quickly addressing these concerns by dispatching a cleaning crew and even stopped by to personally apologize for these issues.
The pool area's rules do not match the description and seemed more suited to a quiet, senior adult-oriented atmosphere, contrary to the family-friendly impression given. "No jumping, no loud noises, etc"
Furthermore, the advertised "pristine Magic Sands Beach" was rocky and not fully suitable for children, misaligning with expectations set by promotional materials. I understand that nature cannot be controlled, but this is more of a surfing/bodyboarbing beach. Not a swimming one.
Located in a tranquil setting, White Sands Village is 4-5 miles from local attractions, requiring a drive for activities and dining, with $13-17 parking fees per hour in more bustling areas. A nearby restaurant's limited operating hours also posed convenience issues with limited hours.
In summary, while the property offers scenic ocean views and moments of relaxation, initial cleanliness challenges and discrepancies in amenity descriptions affected our overall experience. This review aims to provide constructive feedback for future guests and suggests areas for improvement.
