"The cabin was a perfect way for myself and my siblings to reconnect, relax and enjoy each other’s company. My sister’s husband had recently passed and he was from the area. So we were helping her grieve. The host provided snacks, drinks and bakery items. The cabin had everything we needed. Bikes included were such an added plus. My sister said she is considering booking the cabin again for a return trip with her family."

"The condo had everything we needed for a perfect beach vacation. The kitchen was well stocked and included basic spices, coffee and filters. The closet was full of beach chairs, boogie boards, beach towels and sand toys. The view from the master bedroom and large balcony was amazing. We were so close to the ocean, we could listen to the ocean all night from our bedroom with the slider doors closed. There’s even binoculars for close ups of the dolphins who made some occasional appearances during our stay. We can’t wait to come back!"

10/10 Excellent
"Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. 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: When we first got their the door code wouldn't work. The #9 stopped working on the door. We called Garden City Realty and the lady was able to help us get in until maintenance could come by and fix it. We had an infant with us and she was very considerate of that with the heat. Maintenance showed up in about 15 mins. He fixed the door panel and set us up a new code. Everything worked perfectly, the air conditioning, hot water, washer/dryer. It did rain in the early mornings and evenings for a couple of days so when that happened the rain water ran into the pool causing it to get dirty and turn green. Maintenance came by 2 days while we were there and cleaned it and put chemicals in, easy fix. Things with the pool is to be expected. The house was in a wonderful location to the beach, very quiet street, great neighbor, we couldn't have had a better stay. Only recommendation I would give would be getting a new vacuum. We wanted to use it for cleaning up sand that the kids would track in and the one at the property didn't hardly work. If you have several kids and adults going I highly recommend staying at Sandy Paws. Also this was the first time taking my Frenchie on vacation, she did wonderful and loved the house as well."
