This place was perfect! We cook a lot and all the things we needed were there for our cooking adventures. We could walk a very short distance to the Waves store for anything we needed as well. And right behind Waves was delicious ice cream parlor as well as a great restaurant that all of our family was pleased with. We werent too far from the busy areas, but far enough away that we didnt catch all the traffic and people. The beach was very quiet as well, which is what we prefer! We saw dolphins, rays, fish, crabs, sand fleas and of course a few sea gulls. Perfect time of year and perfect lodging!

Fun Family Vacation!

We absolutely loved this place! It was spotless and beautiful, well-furnished, GREAT location! Communication from property management was clear and easy. I can't think of a single thing that was lacking. Many times, the pictures make a place look nicer than it really is, but in this case, it was even better than the pictures!

Fun at the Sandtrap

We loved our stay. The house was clean and beautiful and suited our needs. We especially loved the closeness to the ocean and the ample parking and storage under the house (for beach chairs/ fishing pools etc). The only negative was the bedroom on the main floor was advertised as a King bed. It was not a King.

Wonderful!

Great beach house, loved the 3 full bathrooms. Only a 30 second walk to the beach. Surrounded by other small properties so there were no large crowds. Beautiful views from both levels of the deck. Short walk to General store and ice cream shop. Great neighborhood to walk our dog. Loved the giant picnic table and all the lounge chairs below the decks. Only 8 min drive to shops and restaurants. Beautiful kitchen and living room too!
