"They had a great assortment of games and things to do at the pool. Laundry room was fully stocked with extras for the room. There were no pool towels and the staff is gone after 5pm. But, we had a great time. The room and property were fantastic!"

"This site exceeded our expectations on all levels. Walking from the upper deck of the property to the high tide waterline in 100 steps was an awesome advantage while traveling with a 3 year old. Also greatly appreciated the gates for the stairs!!Already checking our calendars for a 2027 return to Sandsational"

"The house suited our needs for occupancy and was clean upon arrival. Kitchen was fully stocked with any dish you could possibly need, the only thing we couldn’t find was a can opener! The start up toiletries and linens being provided was a huge bonus and appreciated! Our only suggestion would be a few more steps added to make going down to the ocean a little easier. Overall we loved the house, and the set up was excellent for a large group. We would definitely recommend it and would stay here again!"
