We checked in after office hours- was an easy process. The place was nice and the view was amazing! The kitchen was cute and well stocked. Had a small issue with the sliding glass door not locking and also a remote to the tv but they were so attentive to our needs that they came right out and fixed them. Gosh, we had the best time and I would absolutely book with them again!

For the most part, we absolutely enjoyed our stay!! Check-in was easy!!! The 2nd floor unit gave us many opportunities to get our steps in!! (LOL!!) The kitchen was fine. Good supply of dishes, pots/pans and utensils. We brought K-cups with us thinking there was a Keurig, but there was only a coffee maker. Make a quick trip to Walmart to purchase a "cheap" Keurig. Lots of towels/face clothes were provided, which was nice. The balcony was our favorite part of the condo!! We spent lots of time out there playing games, listening to music, watching sunrises and the ocean!!! Loved the very short walk to the beach and the approximately 12 minute walk to the boardwalk!! Also loved the art work/decor on the walls! The first few days we had to deal with running and barking dogs over our heads...then a day of quiet before the running children came. Also I feel that the beds (mattresses) need to be updated as well as the living room furniture (couch/loveseat). It felt damp and had a "musty" odor. Wifi signal was not good per the millennials that were with us. Their room didn't have a TV, so we brought one with us. Lastly, the dryer had to be run 3 times to get clothes dry. Plus there was an issue with the lint catcher. When we did our first load we saw that the lint catcher was full from prior occupants. We cleaned it and then it snagged on our clothes and broke!!! Completely out of our control! But again...other that the mentioned "issues", we enjoyed ourselves!

Ideal Location

Overall stay was great! The condo furniture needs to be updated. The sofas appeared stained and dirty and need to be cleaned. The master bathroom shower curtain is moldy and needs replaced. It would have been nice to have access to the storage unit in the garage to place beach chairs. I realize you can’t control who rents above this condo. We experienced very noisy renters above us with children running around late at night and a renter with a dog that was left alone for hours barking.

Best Beach Vacay

Enjoyed this condo and all the amenities this weekend so much. Unit was clean and very accessible to the beach. We were able to rent an umbrella, table and chairs while there and didn't have to worry about lugging a bunch of stuff down to the beach. Close enough to leave and come back as needed. Also, the boardwalk is just a short walk, and we didn't need to drive anywhere while we were there. You can walk to everything you need. The view from the balcony was amazing! The pool was perfect as we had a 4 yr. old grandson with us, and it was perfect that it was only 3 ft so the stress was gone. Enjoyed it so much that we are looking at rebooking again soon.

Beautiful views

The views of the ocean were spectacular. The trip to the beach was easy and quick. There were great pots and pans and other kitchen items that made cooking a breeze. That said, the property has great potential but is in need of a deep clean. The property smelled musty and the Air ducts on the wall were in serious need of attention with a thorough cleaning. We took time to clean the ducts- but not as well as we would have liked since we lacked proper equimpent. Many areas in the living space, were not as clean as would have been expected at this price point.

Perfect location to the beach, great size balcony with fantastic view!! Nice size for our family. Only complaint was people above us were dancing and making it hard to sleep. However that wasn’t all the time.

Sands 3 2C

Garbage disposal backed up, two different plumbers a day later fixed. Then the toilet wouldn't flush. Expecting a nice break in the sun, but got stress and a ruined expensive stay. I asked for compensation for 1 and a half days, but Ian, manager? said the owner would only agree to 250.00, not for the time I was inconvenienced or my stress. following up with cc company and reviews.

Great condo and location

We enjoyed our vacation very much and the condo was nice and has easy access to the beach and in walking distance to several restaurants. We did not allow the rude people that were staying above us with young kids running nonstop or the adults purposely being loud to ruin our vacation. The tv in the bedroom needs to be addressed.

Great location and Condo

Condo was wonderfully clean and well cared for. It isn’t near any large motels so the beach area isn’t crowded at all. Also a very short walk to the boardwalk and other local restaurants. The sound proofing between the unit above and or unit was less than ideal. You can easily hear walking and furniture moving from above. This didn’t have a negative impact on our stay thankfully. Though it’s possible that had there been smaller children and young adults above us I would have felt differently. WiFi was sub par. Again not an issue for us, but if you needed to do some work while away from home- it would have been difficult.

Great location

The condo was very clean. There were definitely some maintenance issues that should be addressed. This is a 2nd floor condo so there is one condo above this one. If someone is staying on the 3rd floor you can hear them walking around at all hours. There happened to be young kids when we were there so there was lots of running around upstairs! I would not rent again unless it's the top floor but if noise from others doesn't bother you, then it's a perfect place! We have rented on the 3rd floor of the same property many times and loved it!

Oriental decor was scary for the kids. Wine cooler did not cool enough. No broom Dryer did not work, took 4 hours to dry a load. Kids room blinds broken. Master shower not big enough for adults. Pool was 3 feet. Would not stay again Called office and left messages but my calls were never returned. Was not properly cleaned.
