    This was the perfect place for our family. From the Grandparents down to our youngest grandchild of 1.5 years old, everyone was comfortable and had a great stay. Especially for me as a Grandpa getting to watch the kids play, the house had everything we wanted

    Great home for family. We had 3 couples, 1 single and 2 kids, six and four. Bedrooms enough for our family, and each had their own bathroom. It was wonderful. The best part was the back yard! Nice pool and great set up for outdoor dining. We went swimming day and evening. Kitchen & living room were fine for our evening gatherings. Need to put a picture of the spiral staircase to 3rd floor on VRBO as we were surprised when we got the house info a week before arrival. This may present a problem for anyone who's not mobile enough to climb the stairs. Jan was attentive, and answered any questions we had promptly.. Can't speak highly enough of her. Overall...great place to stay!

    It’s challenging traveling with 14 people and giving everyone their own space, but this house was deceivingly large. It’s a three story home, the second story has three bedrooms and three baths. They’re not all attached, but it gave the illusion of everyone having their own bathroom. On the third floor there are two king bed rooms & a shared bath. The backyard was the star of the show, it was an additional living space that our group utilized most of the time. The kitchen is fully stocked, the host was very responsive & the neighborhood was quaint even though it was near EVERYTHING! The A/C worked great & we never ran out of hot water. Easy walk to the beach & overall a great stay! It wouldn’t feel like a true review if I don’t give any constructive criticism, so my only suggestion is to bring your own sheets if you’re picky about the bed. The mattresses were fine, but the sheets are basic. I would have slept better in my own sheets. Thank you Jan for a great stay!

    This property was as described. We loved the outside area. Plenty of room to spread out. The kitchen and rest of the home were fully stocked with everything we needed. The beach was just a short walk away and we were very close to everything ...shopping, groceries, etc. The owner, Jan, was amazing and by far the most proactive host I've ever encountered. She was super helpful and the house was very organized. Another guest who also owns house rentals commented on how impressed he was at her local information & home book / binder. She made sure that we did not have a single question upon arrival and she checked in periodically while we were staying there which was nice. We will definitely recommend this rental to others. Thank you Jan for making our stay a great one!

    We had an amazing stay at Southern Sands! From the moment we booked, Jan was attentive and extremely informative. The home was clean and within walking distance to the beach. The pool was a big hit for the kids and adults and was stocked with rafts and other various pool toys! We rarely went out for dinner because of the comfort of the home. I’m sure we will be back someday!

    Location was great not too far from the ocean and white sandy beaches and it does sleep a lot of people. I rated the add a 3 because it sounds like the pool comes heated but it is an additional 350.00 to have the pool heated. Like I said it does sleep a lot of people but the stair situation is narrow spiral staircase leading to the two bedrooms upstairs. I think that it is really hard to tell from photos what you are getting. We have stayed in many VRBOs throughout the years and sometimes I am impressed and other times disappointed that I did not do enough research before booking. Neighbors were great and overall it was a quiet street. Everyone runs their business/rentals differently and that’s ok and now I know the questions and clarification to get before booking.
