The property delivered everything as advertised. It was perfect for my small grand babies, easy walk over the dune to the beach, and an easy walk the pool behind the house. House was spacious and accommodated all of my family of 6 adults, 2 grand babies (41 months and 22 months), and two dogs. I will definitely rent again.

Rating Details: The property manager was adequately helpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Disappointed with the cleanliness of the toilets. The master bedroom had dog hair all over the bedskirt. This was a board by pool that was sticking up and cut a few guest. The pool entrance and inside area was loaded with pine needles that we had to clean everyday. Lots of popped nails and BEWARE OF THE RAILING ON TOO DECK...it is holding on by a tread!! I can’t forget about the bedding!!! Bring your own pillows cause what is there is flat as a mat with a case over it 😠 The livingroom rug had stains all on it. The house needs a complete update. Everything is old dark and used. This was our second year and will not be returning. Our family has been going to OBX for 17 yrs and have always looked forward to the return the following year. It’s always fun to see what’s new in the house. We had nothing. 🙁As our family grows so does the house we need to rent. This was a good size but not what we are use to and not for the price we paid.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Our first time at Sandy Paws, we were so excited we got to bring our dogs which made the experience better. Our family got to spread out in the many rooms which were very clean and comfortable, kitchen fully stocked and spacious for multiple people to be cooking at the same time. Outside the kids used the pool and hot tub every day, the adults loved to grill and of course the beach. What an experience driving on the beach!!!! A four wheel drive lovers dream and great to not have to lug all our beach gear. We had a wonderful vacation! House managers are terrific, came right over when we noticed a safety issue with one of the beds, thank you again!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Wonderful adventure for our family of ten. The house was perfect with plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms. The lay out provided room for everyone to spread out and spend time together or separately when they wanted to. The outside grilling area, hot tub and pool were great. A really nice sized pool with plenty of lounging furniture. View was obstructed a bit by the dune but that can't be changed. When they say you need a four wheel drive, believe them. Our family drivers had no problem but one of the riders (grandma) didn't exactly love the 9 mile drive on the beach. Luckily with all the refrigerators and freezers, we were able to take enough supplies that the only trip back into to Corolla was for sunscreen. Management team was so easy to work with and responded quickly when we needed some help with a smoke detector. The best part was the horses who came to visit almost daily. They truly are beautiful !!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Laura was awesome and very responsive! The pool was perfect and it was awesome to be able to drive all our beach supplies down to the beach to set up each day. The house was perfect with a huge table and large family gathering area. It was quiet and beautiful and everyone loved seeing the horses along the beach, on the dunes and even up around the house. As for location, this was our first time staying on the OBX and we decided it isn’t for everyone. We had two medical emergencies which meant a VERY LONG drive to an emergency facility. Also, plan to bring basic supplies like shampoo, hand soap, hair dryer, dish soap, toilette paper, paper towels, all spices starting with salt and pepper. Because of the drive we only left for our 2 emergencies and a couple of times to get supplies. I have been to drive on beaches before, but this was a totally different experience. You HAVE to have a 4 wheel drive vehicle with plenty of clearence below your truck to get through the soft sand ruts. As for returning, some loved being in a remote area. Some wanted to explore the area and have easier access to the amenities of Corolla, Duck and sites off the island. The only time it rained was at night so I don’t know what it was like to drive on the beach in the rain. Also, because the dunes are so high, there is not a clear view of the beach. You can see the water, but not the actual beach. Bottom line, we are all glad we went there for our family vacation this year. The house was outstanding and we loved being in a rental property that quickly felt like home. And it offered bit of adventure and sights that you would get no where else! Oh yes. There is a shed in the driveway that is FULL with beach and pool toys which was awesome.
