Prime location, but it’s a one and done for my family.

Pros - Location - Very Spacious, especially the kitchen - Large bedrooms - Washer/dryer work phenomenally - Check in process was super easy Cons - No paper towels, toilet paper, or trash bags. - Too many knickknacks/decor. We had to move decor off surfaces so we had room for our belongings - Lots of stairs. We had a handicap person with us and the only bed downstairs is a twin. Would’ve been nice to have a full or queen downstairs - Dirty socks under the bed. - Dirty dishes in the cabinet that had literally not even been rinsed clean. - TVs are older. One room only plays dvds or vhs. The living room tv is stuck with closed captioning, However the words are jibberish and do not match what the actors are saying. We couldn’t figure out how to turn CC off either. - Washer/dryer are built on a shelf, making it difficult for short people (5’1”) to do laundry - Dishwasher smells like fish.

Great location

Great location and easy access to the beach. Online pictures are misleading. The view from the balcony to the Ocean is not accurate. Online shows an unobstructed view. Upon arrival there are a few homes that have been built since pictures were taken that block most of the view. Overall good experience. I would rent again

Stay at the Sandy Cork

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: We had a great trip and stay at The Sandy Cork. Our family is growing and we need plenty of room. The four bedrooms sure does help! The only complaint would be that the beds were very soft and rolled you to the middle. One of our sons has back issues and this made his sleep difficult . Loved the selection of games, the well stocked kitchen, and the closeness of the beach!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The house was great as was the location. Only thing I would say we had issues with was having to put all of the linens up. The dishwasher stopped working and there was moldy coffee grounds left in the coffee pot. The house had ample space and great location. The rental company was awesome and it was quiet in the area.

The beach house was nice

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 do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: When I go on a vacation, I like to get away from the everyday and just relax. Some rentals, like this one requires you pay extra for sheets only for you to make your own bed and then take them off at the end of your stay. The sheets didn’t even fit. They were a joke. That fun unnecessary exercise cost me $123. The other thing that was rather annoying was that they wanted you to essentially clean the place with a list of instructions before leaving. I’m a clean person anyway but, this was stupid and stressful.The beach house was nice. The kitchen had a nice array of cooking and eating wares. That was a plus. The rooms were cute.The barbecue pit has seen better days.

Beautiful home and great location!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Beautiful home, great location. The pictures do not do it justice. Only caveat is the management company needs to do as better job. Several light bulbs were out, one remote and TV did not work and the chains on the porch swings should be replaced. One broke while my daughter was sitting on it with my 4 month old grandson. Very lucky no one was hurt. The chain was terribly rusted. These are all things a good management company should be checking.
