"The balcony off of the master bedroom was where we spent so much time! Beautiful view! Location was great, quiet, calm and relaxing. The house was very roomy, huge kitchen, lots of seating in the living room. Super place for a family reunion or just a couple. We really enjoyed the area, filled with history and locally owned businesses. Great sunrise location! Watched it from the top balcony every day. The screened in porch was such a nice place to hang out. Super place!"

Secluded ocean getaway. Heated salt water pool & hot tub. Walk to beach, 4 min.

8/10 Good

"The hostess was easy to communicate with and we enjoyed the open concept of the house as well as the huge dining room table! Strangly, there was no dvd player in the house but a great collection of dvds! The hostess did specify only a starter pack of toiletries provided and we brought more toilet paper and paper towels. But there was no soap by the sinks provided or garbage bags other than the ones in the trash cans. So bring some! Eileen did bring us 2 garbage bags when we messaged her as we had just gotten back from the store to get soap."

Frequently asked questions

When is the best time to go to Ocean Sands?

The best time to visit Ocean Sands is during the shoulder seasons of May, early June, or September, as these months offer pleasant weather and fewer crowds.

May and early June provide warm, sunny days superb for beach activities without the peak summer heat and school holiday crowds. The ocean temperatures are comfortable for swimming, and you'll find it easier to book popular restaurants and activities. It's an excellent time for families looking for a relaxing holiday before the busiest period.

September is another fantastic option, especially for couples or those seeking a more tranquil experience. The weather remains warm, and the ocean is still lovely for swimming, but the summer rush has subsided. Many local businesses and attractions are still open, offering a relaxed pace and often better value on accommodation.
