8/10 Good
"The property had the perfect layout for our stay- 2 bedrooms and bathrooms. The porch and outside deck areas were great for relaxing and enjoying our time in the home. The kitchen was well stocked for preparing our meals. We did have 2 dying rats on the property which created concerns that we reported but did not receive a call back. It could have been due to making the call before office hours but we would have expected a call to confirm the clean up."

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.
Can I cancel my hotel reservation on Expedia?
Many Expedia hotel reservations are refundable, provided that you cancel before the hotel's cancellation deadline − this is often within 24 to 48 hours of your scheduled arrival. If you have a non-refundable booking, it might still be possible to receive a refund if you cancel it within 24 hours of booking. Be sure to check your booking confirmation for the exact cancellation policy. For maximum flexibility, use our 'Fully refundable property' filter during your search to find the right Ocean Sands hotel for you.
