Easy beach access. The condo was very nice, clean and offered everything that we needed as listed. The pool was nice, although the the hot tub was not open for use and we were told by staff that it’s open in the winter. Not sure why, and was disappointing. Not much staff around to ask questions and if you did find someone they evidently were only there to clean, test the pool water or maintenance. It would have been nice to have a restroom nearby the pool. But overall we enjoyed our stay and would definitely recommend. ##### Linda N. Stayed 4 nights in Sep 2023 This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jason D. 24 May 2023 #### Perfect Beach Getaway! 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: Sandbridge Retreat was such a treat! This unit and condominium were perfect for my family. My two younger kids loved the bunk beds, and my teenage son loved the gym. This condominium is right on the beach which made everything so much easier. There were 3 pools, and the cabana bar a Mexican restaurant being right there was so convenient. The unit was clean, and the management company was very attentive. The check in procedure was smooth and Ocean Sands communication and professionalism was great. We will definitely be back! Thank you for the wonderful experience! ##### Jason D. ### 2/10 Terrible #### Kelly W. 28 Jul 2023 Liked: Location Disliked: Cleanliness, check-in #### Dirty - definitely not a “let’s do this again” The condo was dirty and had an awful smell. We found a pair of underwear in one of our beds - which makes you question whether they changed the beds before you got there. The floor had sand and crumbs when we first entered so they apparently didn’t scrub after they say they vacuumed or swepted. We found a spoon in the garbage disposal which wasn’t allowing the food to be disposed of properly and was causing an odor. The master toilet wouldn’t flush, we had to fix it. The master sink had water and sand left in it. Dishes were put away dirty!!! The balcony was filthy - looks like they haven’t swepted it since they built it, the chairs were filthy, the walls were filthy, the lights were filthy. You could contact property management but only when they were in the office - they said they would come and fix the problems but all of our belongings were in there which meant we would have to be present when they came - who wants to hang around on their vacation to have problems fixed that should have been taken care of before we arrived!!! ##### Kelly W. Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kevin M. 23 Oct 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, location, listing accuracy Disliked: Communication #### Great property Very nice and up to date apartment.
