Lounge in the soothing hot tub as you gaze at the sunset over the ocean with your favorite drink in hand. Venture out for some fun and shopping, as there are lots of places nearby to explore and things to do. Thrill seekers and quiet retreaters alike will love that there is something for everyone. Come on over and climb into The Sandbox and make lasting memories with your family. You are sure to want to return year after year!

Sandbox-House old but well equipped, nice porch

Place was so dark with wood paneling everywhere! Not enough light! Somewhat updated but still has seen its better days. Two lights were out and had to be replaced professionally as no stool was provided to reach anything-and they were speciality lights anyway and electrician had to come twice to fix - which they did! We also bought two light bulbs to replace in lamps. Lamp shade was also damaged, but most disappointing was the hot tub was not working. Nice location and great view of ocean. King bed was very, very comfortable.

Children’s first beach trip

We traveled as a family of 6. It was our youngest, 18 month old daughter, 4 year old son, mom, dad, pawpaw and great pawpaw traveling. The house was very accommodating and being ocean front was amazing. I believe the hot tub was a hit as well.

Great beach getaway!

House was exactly as advertised. Great location on Holden beach. The public access boardwalk next door was under renovations so the beach was not crowded.

A few days away

I booked the Sandbox very last minute to get a few days away from the stresses of everyday life. It was the perfect place. Location right on the beach was great, the house was very clean and cozy, and the management company was very helpful in getting us back in the house after we locked ourselves out. Would definitely recommend.

5 star view

Absolutely awsome view, house keeping could have done a little better job, but no major complaints. We had to purchase sheets due to the sheets being queen and the bed was a king, and one paper thin pillow per person so bring your own pillows and bedding fair warning. All in all the place was well worth it because of the view.
