The Palm House is located at the North End of Sandbridge tucked in a Cul-De-Sac overlooking the Back Bay Wildlife Refuge.

The house has a great layout, as long as you can handle steep steps. The 800 ft to the beach is questionable, we had to load up in our car and pay for parking closer to beach access. It is impossible to drop off at beach access points. If you have to drive to the beach you might as well rent a house in a less expensive area. There is absolutely no water view from this home. The kitchen is very poorly appointed. Details missing all thru the house, like a towel rack or toilet paper holder in the master bathroom. Squished bugs left on the walls were less than appealing. I have never left a negative review like this before, but to charge full price for this property that is in between owners and in this condition will prevent me from renting from Sandbridge again.

Was a great location to beach access. Pool was kept clean. Property needs some basic upkeep. Maybe having a bug service would be helpful. Has loads of spiders inside and out and fruit flies on mail level. Freezer door handle kept falling off. Otherwise we had a blast.
