"It’s exactly what you want when searching for a beach house. First off, it has cute curb appeal. The inside is decorated in a beach/coastal theme & was extremely clean. The beds & furniture were very comfortable. There is beach gear, chairs & towels available to use during your stay and it was only steps away from sugar white sand & turquoise water. The house is located in a very quiet neighborhood & was easily accessible. During our stay, the battery died in one of the entrance key pads. As soon as I messaged, someone was there to replace the batteries quickly. Very responsive & quick to reply. Would definitely recommend to anyone visiting the area, and hope to stay there again in the future.

"We stayed at the Sandbox for our honeymoon after the initial rental got canceled last minute. The host was friendly and we were able to book the house really last minute without hiccups for a very reasonable price. The house was a short drive from Publix and lots of restaurants. The backyard and the home were beautiful and well taken care of. There was plenty of beach equipment at the house for a couple to use if you don’t have your own stuff like we did. The backyard was nice and private even though you do have neighbors you really can’t tell. We will definitely be booking here again!
