Excellent stay!

We hate telling people but on e again this place had everything we needed. The home was clean, lots of seating, enough plates and silverware to meet our large families needs. The pits and pans were plenty and not cheap. We had such a great time we added a few things to make others stay as nice as ours as a thank you. The king size beds had one really soft, one medium, and one firm, something for everyone and that was a huge hit! Hope others enjoy Sancy Cheeks as mich as we did.

Awesome Vacation Beach House

This is our second year in a row staying at this beach house and we had a wonderful time again! The beach house is beautiful, the location is amazing being right on the beach, and the family had the best time. So relaxing and quiet.

Annual Family Beach Trip

We had an awesome time despite the weather. There was 8 of us and we had plenty of room. Love the large bar/table where we could all eat and play games together. Nothing better than being directly on the beach-which is a must for this family.

Best gulf of America rental yet!

We rent a beach house on average twice a year for family fun on the Gulf shoreline. This home and host were great, location the best for a less commercial experience. We got to see pelicans and dolphins from the balcony!!! One of the crew caught fish from the shore in front of the house. House welllStocked with cooking supplies and place settings. We had two days of stay inside weather and the house was enjoyable and the hot tub was amazing. Family is asking for a repeat trip to this location.

Perfect Getaway

Beautiful home, very clean. Beautiful view! We visited during the end of January and had the beach to ourselves. We loved it, the dogs loved it. We are going home with shells of ALL different shapes and sizes! One thing that could be better, was having less tables outside. The balcony was crowded.

Perfect Views

This house was exactly what we were looking for. It was very clean and spacious and had room for everyone in our group! The house was very clean and well kept. The views were very relaxing and peaceful! Having the ocean right outside our front door was nice since we didn't have to load the kids in the vehicle and drive. Communication with the host was very responsive even before the trip started. I would recommend putting the pin location in your phone as the address does take you about 10miles further down from the actual house. We will be keeping this house in mind for future family/friend vacations.

Birthday Weekend

The house is located on a less traveled end of Bolivar. Nice to walk on the beach with very little traffic. Floorplan is well done. Plenty of private bedrooms and a wonderful loft for our teenage daughters. Favorite part is the huge table in the kitchen. Great for gathering everyone together. It was clean and communication with management was great. I would recommend this house for any size group.

Vacation getaway

We usually take a vacation every summer with grandkids, grandparents, parent's, grown kids, siblings nieces and nephews. The house is noisy and kids are everywhere but the time together is priceless. Memaw and Pepaw (my husband and I) stayed in the loft with all of the grandkids to let their parent's have a couple of nights to their selves.We had memories of a lifetime. Thank you Sandy Cheeks! We had a blast!

sandy cheeks vacation

we arrived after dark and had a hard time finding the property...............I was looking for a blue/green house..........which it is on the front.............but not on the back. The hot water was not hot enough, the sink leaked, and the outdoor water handle broke. We called and they came right out and fixed it. So glad for that. The location was amazing..........Right ON the beach........just a very short walk to the water. We like to cook and found the kitchen lacking. Would have been nice to have a kitchenaid mixer, a round pizza pan, a better pastry brush, more storage containers with lids. The stove and oven worked great. The barbeque grill was very basic and old. The house itself was great........great seating in the kitchen with enought stools around the counter for 9 people. Lots of counter space to prepare food on. lots of bedrooms and beds. There was no hairdryer in my bathroom. My bathroom could use some non skid bathroom rugs...........towels on the floor. The stairs to the house were endless.............haha. the outdoor eating area was nice as was the deck in front of the house. We had a great time. Just a few quirks to overcome.

Wonderful Beach House

Great place for our birdwatching party of 7. Unfortunately the strong winds meant minimal time on the deck - it was still lovey to look out the windows at the rough surf. The living and kitchen were so light from all the windows and the kitchen had a great layout to accommodate us all at the same time. Huge bonus was having the lift for our luggage!
