Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We stayed 6 days 5 nights at the Sand Trap and had an amazing experience. House was extremely well stocked with any kitchen need, vacuum, dust pan, first aid kit, and hotel sized extras like shampoo, soaps, etc. The Bender team was so kind and easy to communicate with. We had no issues during our stay. We liked the house so much we will be booking it again for next summer. Highly recommend.

    My family of four and another family of five really enjoyed this house. We will definitely return! A couple of things to note... 1. The bedroom doors do not lock. Not a huge deal, but good to know going in. 2. The bedding is thin, so bring an extra blanket if you like heavy blankets for sleeping. Neither is a big enough reason for us not to return. The house is directly on the beach and the views are beautiful. The shaded porch is a huge plus!

    This was a wonderful place for us to stay. Loved the back porch and the furniture. Just wished there was a grill for use. Only issue was our 83 year old mother was unable to be comfortable on the furniture due to the sits being deep and worn out.

    We had a great time. The house was clean and ready to go when we arrived. Location was within 5-10 min to all the activities we wanted to do. Separate ice maker was a great addition for the kitchen for making up coolers to go down to the beach. Would highly recommend this property.

    We have stayed at the Sand Trap several different years & always were very satisfied. My husband, who passed away a year ago, loved setting on the deck while the rest of us were in the water. In fact, we took some of his ashes & sprinkled them in the sand. He would be so happy.
