The sand and surf are never far from this beach house!

The property was in an excellent location, steps away from the walking trails and the beaches. It had an unobstructed view of the ocean, very quiet cul-de-sac with very people walking by.

Rating Details: The property manager was very 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've been renting for over 30 years for a family reunion and this was our first time at Sandbox 3. This place is a winner! We just loved the location and design of the home. Fabulous views of the ocean from the living room, master bedroom and kitchen. The kitchen was really well stocked and the layout of the house was great for everyday use and a family Bunco night! The decor, architecture and touches throughout the house were so welcoming and made us feel comfortable and joyful. As people noted, it did get warm and sunny inside from the large windows in the living room, however there is a window and sliding glass door to open to bring in cool air and we just moved out of the sun shine if we got too hot. I did wear sunglasses inside to work on a puzzle, but looking up at the stars at night from inside was wonderful! We're grateful the home is so welcoming to dogs and they loved sunbathing in the house! Really the only quirk was the sink. It is divided by the wood countertop and it's impossible to keep dry, which adds to the staining of it which we felt badly about. We sure tried! But that is so minor for all the great things going on in this home. It's evident the owners care about their home and assuring renters a nice visit. It feels modern and updated and clean. Fyi about the loft, it's so roomy up there, several places to sleep and lots of fun for the youngsters with how the owners decorated and what they provide up there, just note the stairs going up are straight up and high and the half bath is downstairs.

The Kitchen was well stocked equipment wise, nice and clean

Beautiful house in a beautiful location the loft was perfect for the teenager and he spent 24 hours a day up there. I would like to see some kind of drapes or blinds for the living room. It gets so bright it's hard to stay in there.

Property was clean, well appointed and an ideal location to observe wildlife with abundant privacy. Quick and easy walkable access to trails and beaches. Would visit again and highly recommended!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The house is beautiful and comfortable. It’s completely renovated except for the second bathroom. It has a nice big kitchen. It could use a real dish rack/drainer. The deck is epic, lots of seating,a large gas grill, hot tub, and dining table all with an incredible ocean and meadow view. An important note is that there is no dresser or closet available in the primary bedroom. There are large drawers in the bathroom vanity but the clothes got damp. We used the closet and teeny tiny dresser in the 2nd bedroom since it was just the two of us, but if you had more than two people in the house unpacking would be an issue . The primary bedroom does have an awe inspiring view and a wood burning fireplace. It’s incredible. Please add a dresser and give some closet access. The house would be perfect with those additions. We hope that one day the rental company will use lock boxes so that trips to Gualala for key pick up and drop off are unnecessary. Sandbox 3 is special, it’s renovated in a modern style , has nice furniture, and it was perfectly clean and extremely comfortable. It’s large and open. The views are amazing and it is not next to a trail, so very private. You don’t even notice the house next door. We had a great stay.

This house was perfect for two couples, a toddler, and dogs. Great location and amenities, very comfortable.

Would definitely rent again.

Great house. Tidy and not cluttered with leftover food which we appreciated. Lots of window AND they were clean! Well decorated and comfortable home.

The house was lovely to look at and in a great location but it was all spoiled by the extreme heat coming thru the living room windows. No blinds were available there and although the dining room had blinds the heat was so extreme coming into the living room that that room also remained hot and inhabitable from noon till 5 PM or so. It was a very nice and well decorated house otherwise but I would not recommend it unless maybe in the winter months.

More modern aesthetic than some properties and very comfortable & set back far enough from the bluff trails to still enjoy the view, but not have everyone looking in your windows. Would definitely recommend!
