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: Villa Sandy Shores exceeded my expectations! The location and access to the beach was spectacular. The house was very spacious, clean, and great for a large family. We enjoyed riding the provided bikes daily, relaxing at the beach and swimming in the pool. We celebrated our son’s engagement our last night and enjoyed a beautiful sunset! 30A helped to make our vacation very memorable and were so helpful with restaurant and shuttle bookings!

Perfect House/Location

12 couples from all across country. 6 individual rooms (one carriage house) was perfect. Amazing views w direct access to beach w own stairs. Well appointed. Great kitchen which was used for a couple of meals w (awesome) private Chef JoJo. Short walk or bike ride to Rosemary and Alys beach shops and restaurants. A truly memorable stay!

Perfect Birthday Getaway

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 recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had an amazing time staying at the Villa at Sandy Shores. The views are incredible from morning through the evening. Having the private beach is amazing! The home was very clean upon arrival, but there are some areas that could be freshened up, especially the grill and outdoor patio area. The home has all the necessities and is close to everything with so many great places to dine. A couple of things: it would have been nice to have better ping pong equipment to play with, but definitely not a deal breaker. The A/V system was tough to use and my husband is very technologically savvy, as this is our line of work, so that was a struggle. Definitely could use an upgrade especially with sound and ease of use of the system, as well as access to SmartTVs with more channel options in all rooms. We definitely wished there would have been a TV outdoors on one of the floors. A final thing to note is that the pool and spa jets do not run all day. Everything is on a timer, so if this is something you want to use throughout your stay, it only runs for set times. Overall we loved our time and would definitely return!

Had a wonderful stay!

Our family had a great week staying here! The location is perfect. The pool is a good size so all can swim in it. It was nice to have the chairs and umbrellas set up everyday. House was clean and maintained. Management company was wonderful and in constant communication. Thanks for helping create amazing memories 🤗

AMAZING!!!

Gorgeous home right on the beach! Our family couldn't have had a more enjoyable place to stay. Beach chairs and umbrellas set up and waiting for us everyday. Heated pool/spa and bikes at the ready. Quick walk to downtown Rosemary and Alys restaurants. The house came with beach towels and enough starter supplies that actually lasted our whole trip. The management team was so prompt and helpful with any questions we had. The only thing we would have done differently would be to have had the team do our grocery shopping before we arrived and booked a bonfire on the beach. We will be booking again next trip!

mediocre

Rating Details: The property manager was somewhat unhelpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was very happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: the location of the house is great! The pool was nice. the stay was mediocre. The house was not clean enough. There must have been a group of women in the house. There signs left in the house and teh overall cleaning was mediocre. it looked clean until you really started to look at it. We had a baby the floors were filthy. With a baby, things are accidentally thrown under the couch. There wa so much dust and trash under the couches. It was gross. There was something on the master bedroom sheets. The outside of the house when compared to house next door definitely needs a face lift! the kitchen main outdoor floor dining area. The couches were filthy and the grill over the fireplace is disgusting. the beach chairs are suppose to be ours everyday. We would go down there and someone was in them or they would take a name off another set of chairs and give those to us. One of the reasons we picked this property was because of the beach access with designated chairs. Also they power washed the house next door and played loud music every single day! we also disliked not being able to speak to someone in person---text only!

Review of Villa Sandy Shores.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Hi. On a whole it was lovely but I do want the owners to know that for this pricepoint they need to take some time to fix some things up.The hot tub needs repair as does the flooring around the pool. You can’t close the window treatments in the master bedroom. They stick and half of them are off the pins so they can’t close. Very difficult to maneuver.

Bob review after repeat stay

The location and layout of this house are fabulous and will always remain so. However, it was a disappointment this year as the house is showing signs of wear and tear. The floors, carpets, and walls are starting to look dingy. The kitchen lacked some decent cookware and utensils. Most of the pots and pans were unusable (Teflon finishes heavily scratched and/or baked on grime) and need to be replaced. And no wine opener… Truly appreciated the thick and plentiful bath and pool towels. Two dishwashers and two laundry rooms work well for a large group. The property manager also responded quickly when needed.

Great space for large group gatherings; beautiful ocean view

This place has spoiled us for anything else. The space was perfect for large group gatherings as there were plenty of spots where people could gather separately without always feeling like you needed to leave the house in order to get space and time away from others. Everything was very comfortable, and our hosts were exceptionally helpful.
