Sandy Bay

5/5 stars

The unit here is very nice however the kitchen sorely needs updating for utensils that are lacking such as measuring cups measuring spoons strainers decent frying pans etc. . Staff have been very nice to try to accommodate me for my requests. We all love the spacious decks. The can opener to the right of the stove doesn’t work so it may as well be thrown out. There are only 4 wine glasses for a house that accommodates 12 ! There are no storage containers for leftovers. It is difficult to maneuver around the dining room because the table is a rectangle. A round light wooden one like the living room furniture would look great and be easier to get around. I love the Riverside furniture the owners got for the living room and the sofas are comfortable.the bedrooms are fine. My nephew is over six feet and the shower head is too short. There are fittings that can be added to make it higher. The bathroom downstairs on the main level is a disaster. Wicker shelf is falling off the wall, the towel bar is too high since it’s above the tub surround, there are no good places to hang towels and the toilets are old and very low to the ground they should be changed out for comfort height or chair height toilets . The tubs surrounds should be ditched and decent tile put up in somewhere to accommodate soaps shampoo etc. when showering or bathing . And by the way the review of this unit States that there’s balcony access from all bedrooms upstairs when only the middle bedroom has balcony access the other two bedrooms have windows that go up and down. Did the owners expect you to climb out of a window when you’re 60 to 80 years old ? The wording needs to be changed Oceanview not access to the deck. That’s all for now but I could go on and on.

Hey Suzanne - thank you for taking the time to leave this review. We are glad that we could accommodate your requests during the week. It's often times hard to know what guests will enjoy using during their stay, so we just try to have a general array or cooking tools and kitchen accessories. As we all know, opinions vary on decor and space/storage - so we try the best we can to arrange things to make the most of the space provided for gathering and entertaining. We will share your thoughts with the owner and hope to see you again next year!

Had some house keeping issues when we got there, they offered extra activity tickets which our party wasn't really interested in. Eventually got to check-out late to make up for the time we missed out on from the delayed check-in. Other than that it was great.

We enjoyed our stay at Sandy Bay. Comfortable, not at all fancy, lodging for a large family group. Yes, improvements and updates were definitely needed but not so much that our stay was negatively impacted. Great location right on the beach was fun for all ages. Overall a wonderful spring break vacation destination.

I would rate the service and property improvement a 5 star but feel the 5+ percent increase in price over last year's same time reservation to be excessive.

We spent an extended time at Sandy Bay and enjoyed it very much. Having a stand-alone house is much nicer than the large condo we rented previous years. The location 1/3 mile south of the Atlantic Avenue intersection is great: not too close, not too far. We liked that we could park 2 cars separately under the house, rather than just one bay requiring frequent car moving to get out. The full-width covered porch is very functional and offered unobstructed views of the ocean out every window and door. The benches built into the raised beach stairs are delightful to use for sitting out with out having to lug chairs, and are higher up to afford a great viewpoint. The interior is outfitted nicely and is very functional. The beds were comfortable, and some had memory foam toppers. We appreciated all the new bed pillows vs. a previous review which mentioned the old ones. To our delight, two of the single beds in the fourth bedroom have been joined to create one larger one which served our purpose much better. It would be useful to have some blackout drapes to draw shut over the vinyl vertical blinds in the upper 2 bedrooms as the light from the morning sun and reflection off the ocean is intense despite the blinds. Elevate Cleans responded promptly to every concern we raised. We will definitely stay here again next year!

We 100% agree - you can't beat a stand alone house for privacy and noise reduction! This house is the perfect location and accommodation, in my mind, and we are happy you chose it for your extended stay at the beach this winter! Look forward to working with you again next year!!!

We have been coming to the Murrells Inlet area for years and usually stay at a condo on one of the many golf courses in the area. This year, we decided to spend Christmas on the beach and gave vrbo.com a try. It was our first time renting a vacation home but it will not be our last! Our group of 9 and small dog selected Sandy Bay and we were not disappointed. Check-in, which was located about a mile away from the property, was easy and the property was even nicer than the pictures posted had indicated. Additionally, If you are new to the area, Sandy Bay is very close to shopping, food and activities. The only real negative is that there is not a great deal of interior living space (the kitchen, dining and living rooms are in one open space) however, this was more than made up for by the large decks facing the ocean on both floors. There is a first floor bedroom and full bath and upstairs has three bedrooms, two baths and a laundry area. The internet and cable connections were patchy at times but still fairly reliable. By far, the greatest aspect of the property was the incredible ocean views and ability to walk/run the beach each day! It was really a great Christmas getaway and I am confident that my family will find our way back to Sandy Bay in the future.

My family all agreed, this was one of our favorite beach trips. I know...beach in December??? Who does that? It was my daughter's first year of college and we opted to spend the week on the beach during her break. Sandy Bay had the ideal floor plan for us. A huge covered porch, complete with rocking chairs...ideal for those rainy days; and a 2nd floor deck as big as the porch...ideal for star gazing. 3 bedrooms on 2nd floor, and 1 bedroom on the lower level. Parking bay under the house was well lit. Excellent walkway going to the beach, complete with seating area. The place was perfect!!!

The house was not clean. The living room furniture was worn and dirty. The carpet was utterly filthy. The door on the refrigerator was broken. The back door to the lower deck would stick very badly. The seating provided on the deck was very uncomfortable, and worn out. Overall, we would not recommend this property to anyone. Nor shall we stay here again. This home could be amazing if updates were made, repairs and throughly cleaned.

We rented Sandy Bay for a friends 50th Birthday..what an amazing place! Plenty of room..everything was clean and ready for us as promised...from reservation process to check out everyone was friendly and professional..we will definitely stay again. We only have one negative..the matresses and the bedding..they really are past their prime and need to be replaced along with the pillows..the pillows weren't regular bed pillows but little square ones that looked like they went into an accent pillow..so unfortunately for most of us we didnt get the restful sleep that you really want on a vacation, so if they replace the mattresses and pillows I would have said the perfect vacation!

House has plenty of room, right on the beach. Beautiful views of the morning sunrise. Unfortunately, we stayed during spring break week which put us right on a drag strip for super loud trucks racing back and forth until about 1am. Also was disappointed that we had 2 issues needing repair, which were never addressed after leaving a voicemail. Dishwasher in the kitchen doesn't open all the way because the oven door blocks it which made loading and unloading a super pain in the neck.

My sister and I took four H.S. seniors on their spring break (March 24-31) to this beautiful beach and loved every minute of it. This home is planted squarely on the beach and a fantastic place for a group. The four bedrooms were spacious and porch, deck and walkway to the beach all inviting. We loved the home and location (Garden City Beach versus the Grand Strand is an excellent choice). Days spent walking and finding shells and sea glass were lovely, and day trips such as dolphin-watching and finding 'gators on the golf course were thrilling for all. Neighbors kite-surfing and shooting off fireworks added to the beachside fun. While we didn't bring our dog, we saw several families walking their pets along the beach. Murrell's Inlet is worth finding just a couple of miles away, offering a wharf lined with seafood restaurants and vendors that take advantage of the marsh in between 'our' house and that location. We didn't arrive until almost midnight yet the key box was easy to find and instructions were clear. Dave and his team were responsive when we had small issues with the home, and the owner's brother, Kyle, spent time ensuring fixes on-site were managed efficiently without interrupting our vacation. There are a couple of tweaks to make in utilities and decor that would make this a true five-star location. Carpet throughout most of the home is an odd choice when you literally live on the sand but it was clean. The washing machine and dryer are old and work but they're really loud and vibrate the entire home. The dishwasher cannot be fully opened to load as the installers forgot there was a stove blocking the door. And the dining room table with outdoor chairs make it difficult to easily gather and move around for game night or meals -- but hopefully most will be outside enjoying the huge picnic benches instead of dining inside because Mother Nature will be kinder later in the season. I'd highly recommend working with iTrip. Checking into this beach home for a week or a month or more. We're happy to have had this time to connect and laugh while listening to the pounding surf. Thanks!
