Great place to stay, especially with our dog! The fenced in yard was awesome. Our pup loved having the space to run around. Easy check in & access to the residence. It was in a very nice neighborhood and only a 10 minute walk to the beach. The unit offered everything we needed for a great stay!

Perfect MDW!

The Sandbucket is a perfect place for just you and one other! The yard has all been re-done and is extremely nice. About a 10 min walk to all the restaurants, boardwalk and beach! We really enjoyed our stay and would book again.

The place is super clean and convenient to most everything you could want in CB. Short walk to the boardwalk and many restaurants. Owners were helpful and very nice. They also gave an excellent sight seeing tip for our trip into Wilmington. Looking forward to another stay!

Very Cozy, Clean and Great Location!

We were happy with our stay. The room was simple, but very cozy and clean. As far as location, we were very close to plenty to eat, the boardwalk and just a short trip to several beach access. Suzanne was great with communication! Made us feel welcome and was even understanding about a mix-up with our pets. Great value for how long we stayed. Especially in the summer. Thumbs up from me! 👍😄

Great Location

This little apartment was very clean and quiet. The bedroom did get warm at night, but we liked the abundance of natural light from all the windows. We especially enjoyed being able to walk to the beach and boardwalk instead of trying to find parking. Our first morning we were a bit dismayed to discover that the kitchen did not include coffee filters for the coffee maker, though. A few pantry staples (sugar packets, salt & pepper) would have been helpful, too. Overall, a great place to stay!
