Southern Sand: beach house with beautiful forest views

We had a wonderful stay at Southern Sand! The home was exactly as described in a perfect location for our needs. Our kids enjoyed hiking in the woods, close access to Blue Mountan Beach, and the lovely quiet community pool. The owners have put so much thought into the ammenities that might be needed, and the home is beautiful, clean, and very comfortable (including the beds!) We were gathered for a family reunion and it was so nice that each couple had their own master en-suite. My family enjoyed ping pong and movies in the loft, as well as biking to the beach on the provided bicycles. The owners were very easy to work with and went out of their way to provide info on various local activities and restaurants to help us plan for our trip! 5 Stars +++!

We loved the location and it was very clean!

The home was clean, beautiful and well-appointed. We had what we needed and would certainly stay here again.

The house is new, in a great location with all amenities needed for a weeks vacation. The host was a great communicator and quick to respond during our stay.

The house was beautiful and very spacious for our group of 11. We headed to the beach the day we arrived and it started pouring on us. Beth was amazing and let check-in early since the house was ready. It was a short walk, bike ride or golf cart drive to the beach, which was great. The public area of the beach we were closest too was pretty small with private beaches on both sides and crowded but we made the best of it and tried to get there as early as possible to grab a spot. We didn’t try any of the other public access points, so they might have been more spacious. The house provided a lot of beach chairs, a couple of umbrellas and more than enough beach toys to keep our kids happy which is always great. The kids all loved the loft area and the screened porch where they watched movies or ate dinner. The kitchen was well stocked and had all the things we needed to prepare meals there, including a nice selection of seasonings. The beds were comfortable and everyone slept really well. We would definitely recommend this house to anyone looking to stay in the area.

This property was clean and very nice. The owners were extremely helpful and had great communication. Will stay again!

Our stay was wonderful. It was as advertised. The house was beautiful, open and spacious. Our family of 8 enjoyed our week with games of ping pong in the bonus room on the 3 rd floor while my 3yr old granddaughter played with princess Barbie’s and the dollhouse. We played cards in the kitchen at night and road the golf cart to the beach most days. The location of the house was a great area, quiet and secluded from traffic. We had great communication with the host Beth. I would stay here again!

The check in process and cleanliness of the property were rated low as the cleaning lady was not done until 6 o’clock and check-in time was 4 PM. We had planned to get groceries and be able to unload by 4 PM and our first day was a little rocky because of this.

Overall it was a good spot.

The property was beautiful with very comfortable beds. It is in close proximity of the beach (about a 10 minute walk to the beach or 5 minute car drive). We did have several issues with low maintenance upkeep on the property which was a little frustrating. The outside grill hose and regulator were broken, mold on the bathroom vent, the outside water faucet handle had broken off, golf cart had expired tags, ice maker stopped working, and we never could get the lock off the steering wheel so we had to drive around with it wrapped around the steering wheel the whole week. The owner was prompt in fixing most items but a few were never fixed. Overall I would recommend the place because the house was beautifully decorated and furnished and in a great location. We loved Blue Mountain beach because it isn't as crowded as the Seaside area. There is less traffic and more space on the beach to set up a space for your group. It was July 4th week which was crazy busy everywhere and if you hate crowds I would recommend coming on a non holiday week. We love the 30A area and were happy to discover the Blue Mountain Beach area. We discovered lots of cute shops, biking trails, and restaurants.
