Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: It was very easy to rent the Looney Bin. From start to finish Ocean sands reality was outstanding. The only bad part of the house was the grill, it was old, very dirty(grease fire if you finally got it to light) so we did not use it!. The house itself was perfect for our family.

The Looney Bin

Great ammitites in the kitchen, well stocked with pots, pans,slow cookers, etc. We liked that there were 2 sets of washer and dryers. 2 refrigerators in the house, although they were not convenient being on the top floor and bottom floor. Cabana bar/refrigerator is old and outdated. All & all we had a great time!

Excellent House & Location

Property was well maintained and stocked with essential items for the kitchen. The location was great, at the beach in seconds. the patio and pool area were very nice and the ocean facing decks were a great touch. We've been coming to Sandbridge for the past 5 years and this is probably the nicest house and location we've had. Our extended family and friends had an amazing week and would highly recommend this property.

Fun time

We loved the pool and the closeness to the beach. The home was a little dirty though. Found sand in the dresser drawers, found a pill in another drawer, there was candy left over from previous stays, and a dirty sock in someone’s bed.

Family Memories

The house was great. We enjoyed the view of the Beach from the balcony everyday. Waking up to the sunrise and shutting down for the evening to some beautiful sunsets. I will recommend this home to anyone looking for a beautiful and safe community to enjoy some family time while making memories.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The house is huge! Beutiful view from top deck. However, definitely needs an elevator! The kitchen is on the top deck, and for seniors it is really hard. Definitely needs some updates for the price charged. The pool cabana needs some TLC. The house has lots of kitchen needs. I would definitely go there again if there was an elevator!!

Lots of space!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We really enjoyed our stay at the Looney Bin house. We were pleasantly surprised by the space - there was more than enough room for our 15 family members. The extra play room was really nice for all the kids too. The kitchen had tons of storage and counter space and was well-equipped. The pool was enjoyed by all, especially the kids. And the adults loved the view from the top deck. My only recommendation would be to have a picnic table on the 2nd floor deck so wet pool kids can have lunch/dinner outside in the shade. The “tiki hut” by the pool wasn’t super inviting.

Short get away

It was a very nice, clean, and open home. Plenty of room for our two families...each kid had their own room! Loved having two different seating/hang out area so the adults and kids could have their own spaces. Even though the weather wasn't great the first few days, there was still enough to do. And so easy to get to the beach - just cross the road and you're there! One suggestion would be to fix the upturned corner of the rug in the living area near the kitchen - caused many trips. Overall, a wonderful stay!

Great Vacation in Sandbridge

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Had a great week at Sandbridge 1 block off the beach. Wonderful pool in the back, with a cabana and grill. Got a pool cleaning mid-week and also refresher towels mid-week. With young grandkids, the foosball table was a big plus, with lots of hours logged there. Also, the view of the ocean from our top deck was magnificent, day and night. I would heartily recommend Ocean Sands Realty and their properties for an upcoming beach vacation!

Nice for extended family!

We had a large extended family with lots of couples, and all older teens and adults. Having so many bedrooms and extra sitting spaces was great. Also the huge kitchen with two dishwashers, multiples of basics, and an extra fridge in the first floor is fantastic. The pool was very nice to have. Our only complaints are the bedrooms with the bunk beds. The beds are great because they aren’t the cheap metal ones, but there is no air flow in those rooms. The other is that the listing says there are 3 king beds, but there are only two. One bedroom had two twins that aren’t in the listing.

Not ready for prime time

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Pros: near the beach, beach view, well stocked kitchen and new deck on front and side of house, and the couches on both levels were very comfortable.But, there are no coffee tables to put a glass or plate or book on. The bedroom furniture is worn out with old food wrappers in some of the drawers. The most disappointing thing is you cannot see the lovely backyar pool from any of the decks or from anywhere inside the house. Very responsive management company, so that is a huge plus.

My big issue is the house does not feel safe as it sways in the wind. You lay in bed or sit on the couch and you feel tremors like there is an earthquake. My grandkids and daughter in law were very concerned. I am told other reviews commented on this too. I should have taken this more seriously. I am thinking of reporting this to the building inspector as the wind was not very high and in a big storm this could be a disaster. There were a number of other big issues besides this one. Ants all over, no beach toys or chairs, and overall condition of house was not updated. In addition, the pool did not get cleaned per policy. House was functional and close to beach. But pictures of dinning table total misrepresent the table. It is shown covered with a table cloth not revealing it was two mismatched tables of different heights. trying to get everyone around the table with chairs as had two sets of table legs in middle. We have rented 10 homes from RI to SC over the last 5 years and for the money we paid this was the worst home. Please pass this on the owner as it feels like this is pure investment property and no real updating particularly to the exterior has been done. We were extremely disappointed and did not receive the value for what we paid. I received 20 texts pre checkin beginning a week to 10 days ahead. They came from different #’s. I sent text with review to two separate #’s the day after & have not heard back. I would not rent this property!

Disappointing Stay @ A Looney Bin

Rating Details: The property manager was adequately helpful. The vacation rental was very dirty. I was more than happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Unfortunately, our stay at this house started off on the wrong foot. Upon arrival, the first thing we noticed was the handrails in the stairwell were gummy and sticky, and generally overall filthy. The kitchen countertops were dirty, and our shoes literally stuck to the floor as we walk through the kitchen. We would have called to ask that the house be cleaned , but there was no time for correction. Our family reunion was a short one and we didn’t want to spend the beginning of it asking for the place to be re-cleaned. One of the twin beds actually had sprinkles that you would use on a cupcake inside the sheets, obviously we didn’t use that bed . It would be nice if some cleaning supplies were available in the house so that we could do our own cleaning but we had to improvise it was very disappointing.

My family had a great time, BUT.....

Rating Details: The property manager was adequately helpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was very happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: To whom it may concern,I recently rented property number 2849SF from July 20 till July 27. I sent an email on July 25 while I was staying there, and never got a response. I believe that we should be refunded for the cleaning fee. When we arrived to the property, the house was not as clean as it should’ve been. We also had no Internet for two days because the line going from the house to the street was broken. We did contact the he did come and I believe he did send another cleaner, but they did not clean all the bathrooms. One bathroom had a stopped up sink filled with water. The other bathrooms had dirty tubs & showers. Some of the bathrooms had dirty Band-Aids in them. Most of the tubs had hair left in them. This is very unacceptable. We also had young children who were hoping to watch movies in the evening and we had no Internet for two days and the televisions didn’t work. This is also unacceptable, Cox cable did come and repair the line on Monday afternoon, and everything was working fine after that.The microwave door is broken the refrigerator freezes, and the freezer doesn’t freeze. We had to throw food out! The oven door doesn’t close properly, and it takes longer than usual to cook and bake food. There were light without light bulbs, not enough pillows, no blankets. My cousin went out and bought them. The toaster did not toast. The owner should be ashamed of themselves. I have been going to Sandbridge for 20 years now. We’ve always rented from Sandbridge Realty or Siebert Realty and they have been terrific. I never had an issue at all. Right now I can honestly say I don’t think I’ll ever rent from Ocean Sands again because this was very unacceptable. I’m hoping that this time somebody will answer my email and I also am requesting to be reimbursed for the cleaning fee because the home was not properly cleaned before we entered. I really don’t wanna leave a poor review on VRBO or your w
