Kitchen was fully stocked to cook and other details, such as decorations, comfortable beds and couch were much appreciated. The condo was clean and the owner was very attentive to any of our questions.

We were very happy the condo had everything we needed to use for the week. It was dog friendly that’s what we liked most of all that we could bring our fur baby with us. The golf cart was a major plus as well. We has an amazing trip. Thank you so much.

Easy check in and great communication with Jared. the condo was very clean and fully equipped with everything we needed. We were there for a celebration of life so we did not use the beach cart or the golf cart but it would be great for anyone wanting to stay and get to the beach without the high cost of being on the beach directly. Easy for families with dogs with easy access for walking them. The reason I gave an overall rating a 4 is because the furniture is a bit dated but everything else was great. Thank you Jared for sharing your place with us.

Amazing beach getaway

Everything about our vacation was amazing! The condo was perfect for us. It was just as described, we couldn’t ask for anything more. The golf cart was a huge bonus. Our teens loved riding in it on Front Beach Road. We made some great memories. We would love to return and stay again!

Our stay at the Sand box was a great experience. It was very clean and had everything we needed. The golf cart and electric wagon was a plus. I can not say enough about Jared. He answered all our questions within 5 minutes when texting. We would recommend this townhome to everyone.

This Vacation home was marvelous. There were supplies for everything to do right within the resort. Tennis, putt-putt shuffle board, corn hole pickle ball, Pool right at the back door! The owner has taken time to ensure that his guest have a greatest experience. Very fast communication with the owner. I highly recommend!
The pictures on the website are exactly what you have available. All supplies needed for all of the resort activities, including the beach wagon and"Grinch" golf cart!
Fun taking the dogs for a bike ride through the resort, no battling traffic on the main roads!
