Great family trip

We really enjoyed our stay at Sandy Reef! The views are really amazing from the upstairs living/dining/kitchen area. We enjoyed family dinners in the large eating area and, like other guests, saw lots of wildlife in the marsh, including deer! It's also an easy walk to the beach.

Beautiful and Comfortable House

We had a fantastic stay. The house was laid out well and was very comfortable. The private bathrooms make it a great place for family vacations. This was everything we expected and more with beautiful views of dolphins jumping in the ocean from the front porch and the tide coming in and out in the marsh from the back porch.
