Had a great trip! The house was perfect for our family. Pool didn’t warm up very much but the weather was also a bit chilly a few of the days we were there so that makes sense. We are definitely coming back during the hotter months as everything was fantastic! Perfect location. Quiet area which is what we were looking for, and the food in town was delish!
The home was perfect for our family. Ocean views, easy access to the beach, pool, and beautiful home. Our first trip to SGI and looking forward to coming back!

Thank you so much for your kind words!🫶 We’re so glad your first trip to SGI was memorable and can’t wait to welcome you back! -Abi
The host company was wonderful—super attentive, responsive, and great at communicating. Honestly, our experience with the host was probably the best part of our stay. We had an issue with the internet being out, and they were very helpful and communicative while trying to get it resolved.That said, the house itself was older than we expected and felt a little tight for a group of 10. The upstairs bunk “room” is not really a separate bedroom—you actually have to walk through the bunk area to get to the bedroom behind it. The primary bedroom also does not have a door separating the bedroom from the bathroom, which may be important for some guests to know.We were also surprised by how few basic supplies were provided, especially at this price point. We ran out of toilet paper within the first half of our first day, and there were no extra rolls, paper towels, or trash bags. We have stayed in many vacation rentals and have never had so few basic household supplies provided.The listing mentioned a beach wagon and beach toys, but the wagon provided did not work well in the sand, and there were no beach toys there when we arrived. We ended up purchasing some ourselves and left them at the house for future guests.Overall, the host company was excellent and very responsive, but we felt the home itself and what was included could have been represented more clearly and stocked more appropriately, particularly for a property accommodating a larger group and at this price point.
We had another great stay on the island at Sandy Dreaming. This may have been the best house yet! It was perfect for our family, spacious, clean, and it had everything we needed. Thanks for a great stay!
Our first trip to SGI and I’m so thankful we chose this rental. We had the best experience! This property was in a great location with everything you ever need for a beach vacation. We will most definitely be back!
We had an amazing time. We did scavenger hunt where the kids made Father's Day cards and we buried them in the volleyball court sand and made maps for the dads to find. Great place to stay we loved the pool
We loved our stay here at Sandy Dreaming. The house was well equipped and the location was perfect. All amenities from the bikes to the pool were high end and perfect. We hated leaving. The only change I would suggest is adding a bathroom door between the master bedroom and master bath.

Hello Mara,
Thank you for these kind words and honest, detailed feedback. We truly appreciate it! We hope to host you again.
Best,

This house was just what we needed. There was adequate space for everyone including bathrooms. The living room space and balconies provided awesome views of the ocean. The pool was nice to relax in at the end of the day. Overall a great, quiet location - it was like we were the only ones at the beach most days.

We’d love to have you back anytime! - Abi
We all had a great time loving on each other. The pool was great but you need a restroom down stairs. I heard several comment on that. I personally made it across to the beach once. The trail was hard on me but im 64 and have leg problems

Thank you so much for staying with us and for sharing your experience. We’re glad to hear everyone had a great time together and that the pool was a highlight for your group. We appreciate the feedback about having a restroom downstairs—several guests have mentioned it, and we’re actively exploring options to make that area even more convenient. I’m sorry the beach trail was a bit tough to navigate; we understand it can be challenging depending on mobility, and we truly appreciate you making the effort. We’re grateful you chose our home, and we’d love to welcome you back for another relaxing stay.
