We had an amazing stay! We’ve made many trips to 30A, but this one takes the cake. The home was beautiful and in a perfect location close to the beach. Communication with the property manager was incredible—proactive and helpful before, during, and after our trip (and we didn’t even have any issues!).The kitchen was fully stocked with tools, gadgets, and appliances, and there was more than enough beach gear provided. Even the little details were thought of—they had Charmin toilet tissue! The small touches really mattered, and they nailed it.I highly recommend this property. Our family will most likely be back! Thank you for creating such a wonderful experience.

Beautiful home! We had everything we needed for our vacation! Communication with the home owners was fabulous! The house itself is comfortable and spacious! We enjoyed the golf cart to head to Seaside or our beach access. There is a beach access about 5 blocks away.which we loved. I will definitely stay here again! There is also a closer beach access within walking distance but due to construction at that access we chose the farther one.

Spring Break 2025 at Sandalwood
This was our first trip to 30A! We came with our family of 4 boys ranging in ages from 5-14, along with the Grandparents. Every single part of the stay at Sandalwood was perfect. Not one complaint. This was our first vacation as a family where none of us wanted to leave! Don’t even think twice, book this home!

30A Gem
My sisters and I booked Carlene and Mark's place for a 60th birthday trip. The house was spacious, and clean, and provided all amenities including beach chairs, umbrellas, bikes, a golf cart, a wide assortment of dishes and glassware, and lots of the same comforts as a regular home. The neighborhood was extremely quiet and convenient. If you have a group, I would highly recommend.

Beautiful 30A beach home
We had a great experience staying at this 30A beach home. The house was gorgeous, clean, and perfect for our family. The convenience that the golf cart provided, along with a close beach access made this week with 2 small children a breeze. The closest beach access is across the road and diagonal from the street where this house is located. Less than a 5 minute walk or a 1 min cart ride. This property is a very close drive (within a 5 minute care or golf cart ride) to many fantastic restaurants, coffee shops, grocery store, and bars. Needless to say if you are considering staying here, dont hesitate. Thank you again!

Seagrove Beach Perfect Location
This house was perfect for our group to enjoy the beach, which was only a few minutes walk, or the heated pool right across the street, or the nearby ice cream shop, restaurants, general stores & more. We also enjoyed that this house was a block off the Highway 30A so we easily got to neighboring beach towns, too. And our hosts were super responsive, within minutes every time we had a question or needed a recommendation. We had a flat tire on one of our bikes and it was fixed within 10 minutes, which was fantastic! Superior house in a superior location with superior service!! We can't wait to get back to 30A and we definitely have this house on our short list!!
