Reviewer Comments:
The house was very clean and tastefully decorated. The pool area was nice, but weeds and brush needs to be cleaned up. The main thing that I didn't like is there was no cabinet space for groceries and it needs a complete set of assorted knives including steak knives.
Absolutely beautiful, gorgeous house with everything that you would need. Definitely will rent again
We got into the house Friday and unfortunately, Saturday night when we went to go out to eat I fractured my rest and we had to leave this beautiful home with all these amenities Monday morning. Beyond that is everything you would want it to be in a lot of privacy in this house. Neighbors were great. We just wish that we could have spent the entire week at the house 8 AM instead of two full days. If you are looking for a semi oceanfront house, this place is perfect!

We had a wonderful stay at The Sandbox, conveniently located in walking distance to the beach. I would NOT recommend this property to anyone who has dogs due to the high volume of sandspurs in the backyard, making it unusable. Other than that, The Sandbox was the perfect home base for my family.

Such a lovingly kept home! The rental company is top notch. Responsive, helpful, informative. We had just a couple hiccups that were handled so quickly, they aren't even worth mentioning in detail: They did not detract from our joyful stay. We'll continue ranking this at the top of our list of properties to rent! Thanks to all who make it possible!

Stayed Friday-Monday, beautiful property We had a great experience. An issue with the air conditioning on the 2nd floor was discovered before we arrived. A tech was dispatched immediately and worked until it was completely fixed within a couple of hours. There were no additional issues with anything on the property.

This house was exactly what we were looking for when we booked in OBX. Management was helpful when we arrived a little earlier than our original scheduled check in time and was able to get us in about an hour early. The house, pool, and hot tub were all clean. The beach access was only a very short walk and was very doable with our children. There were a lot of spurs in the back yard, so just make sure you wear shoes. Overall, we had a great stay and would book this home again.
Nice house. Clean! Had a great stay here! Family enjoyed the pool and hot tub. Something for everyone! Had some nightly card games too!! Not too far from the beach access. We usually have farmdogs rental set our canopy up etc so not as much to haul anyway! Only mention was the upper screened porch door was missing the screen. Wasnt too big of a deal, and I did send a message at end of week so hopefully they have it fixed now! Lift was a lifesaver, definitely a plus for luggage and groceries! Awful Arthurs, Black Pelican and Jolly Rodgers restaurant very close, and a few other great restaurants! Pier is close, walking distance. Foodlion, Target and Belk very near too! Overall great stay! Thanks!

The house is very nice and about one block from the public beach access. It was a beautiful house, but the only thing is for being a pet friendly house, the yard was absolutely not pet friendly. The pool/ patio are was great. The yard on the other hand was pretty bad. The grass and weeds are out of control and the sand spurs are horrible. There’s a nice volleyball net in the yard, but cannot use it due to the condition of the yard area. Overall, that did not ruin our trip, and I would absolutely stay here again if the yard was taken care of. Hope to see you next year house!

This home is located within a great distance to everything including the beach, shopping and restaurants. For the most part, the home was very clean with the exception of the outside shower area. Also, if you are planning to use the backyard for your dog, please note the yard is full of "sticky weeds" which would not be good for your dogs paws. We enjoyed our stay
