Father's Day beach trip
We had an amazing time. We did scavenger hunt where the kids made Father's Day cards and we buried them in the volleyball court sand and made maps for the dads to find. Great place to stay we loved the pool

First Timer in SGI
This house was just what we needed. There was adequate space for everyone including bathrooms. The living room space and balconies provided awesome views of the ocean. The pool was nice to relax in at the end of the day. Overall a great, quiet location - it was like we were the only ones at the beach most days.

Great house and location
We loved our stay here at Sandy Dreaming. The house was well equipped and the location was perfect. All amenities from the bikes to the pool were high end and perfect. We hated leaving. The only change I would suggest is adding a bathroom door between the master bedroom and master bath.
