Quiet Retreat

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Nice, quiet location. We enjoyed riding our bikes around, and everything was located a short ride away from the house. We had plenty of space . The house was clean. A few more basic amenities like toilet paper, shampoo, dish soap, etc would be nice for a house that sleeps 12. No real complaints though! We will be back!

Hi Elizabeth, thank you for the great review of Sandy Oar. We do supply a starter amount of basic amenities in addition to some tasty local coffee from Amavida. However, we do ask that you supply what is needed for the duration of your stay with us. We are glad you enjoyed riding bikes, had plenty of space and loved the location as much as we do! Hope to see you again soon.

It was mediocre

We rented for a family Christmas vacation. When we arrived the house had some trouble getting into the property and some cleanliness issues. The property management was very responsive and helpful. Overall the property was a little run down. The dishes and utensils in the kitchen were sparse and some of them broken. We even replaced some. Overall not a bad location or property just could use a little bit of love and care.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Was very impressed with the proactive and professional customer support before and during our stay at Sandy Oar. This home was great for our family of 6 - plenty of room to spread out and the location in Watercolor was very handy.Oversee was quick to fix one minor maintenance issue.Everything from bikes, to amenities (including chapstick) was perfect. When we showed up slightly early they communicated well and let us know when the cleaning crew was clear so we could unload our luggage after 11 hours in the car.We'll definitely consider this property again.

Wonderful stay!

Rating Details: The property manager was adequately helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We loved our first visit to Water Color at The Sandy Oar! It was so clean and spacious. Loved the porches, and the separate carriage house for our teens. Only reason not a 5 star was because we felt like some info from the Rental Company-- about towel services (covid?) garbage policies and how to recycle-- was lacking. The house needs more glassware and plates since it sleeps 12. We only had 8 glasses and were constantly washing dishes. Only negative so I'd say it was a fantastic vacation!
Response from VrboOwner on 26 May, 2022
Hi Elizabeth, we are glad that you found Sandy Oar to be clean and spacious and the you made good use of the porches. WaterColor has suspended beach towel service due to COVID-19 as well as recycling. Trash pick up is daily as long as the flag on the garbage crib is up. All of that information can be found with the app. We hope to see you again soon.

Prior Guest’s Cleaning Fee Not Spent?

Rating Details: The property manager was adequately helpful. The vacation rental was very dirty. I was more than happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: House was not cleaned properly - we arrived to an oven with remnants of chocolate chip cookies all over the grates (which we had to clean), crumbs on the couch, an outdoor shower full of used towels, partially used bar of soap and bottle of shampoo. Also, the toilet in the master bedroom didn’t work.

Another Awesome 30A Adventure

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The photos are deceiving - the home is actually much more spacious than it appears in the pictures! Loved the high ceilings in the living area and the large round table for meals and game nights. The kids loved the carriage house! Our only suggestion is to stock the kitchen with more dishes, glasses, cookware, and utensils. During COVID-19 restrictions we cooked and ate in more than we usually do when visiting 30A. Having additional kitchenware items would have made this more convenient. Otherwise, this is a gorgeous home in a super location (it's a straight bike ride to the beach!)

We always stay at the Sandy Oar when we visit Watercolor. The house is in a perfect location to enjoy all the amenities of Watercolor and the beach. The house is thoughtfully decorated, clean (even the grill), comfortable, well maintained with a fully stocked kitchen. Our kids loved the cute bunk room. The furniture, especially the round dining table, make quality time with family and friends easy. We will visit the Sandy Oar again!

July 2021 Stay

The Sandy Oar and Watercolor community was just perfect for our family. The house was great, new grill was used a lot, the convenience of the pools, beach and having the bikes made it all so much fun. We would definitely stay again!! The bed in the carriage house could use a new mattress. That is the only thing that did not meet 5 stars.

April 2021 Stay

The house interior was dated and a bit tired. I requested replacement light bulbs three times due to lights out. No replacements ever arrived. The house exterior was moldy and there was a lot of rotten wood all around. Some had been fixed in a slap-dash fashion and looked junky. Several pieces of wood disconnected from the stair due to rot. The trip was fun. The house was sub par. I would not book it again and based on my experience w the rental company and never getting replacement bulbs, I think I would seek a different rental company, too.
