About this house rental
Sandbox-A Gulf Coast Paradise Retreat
Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'
White sandy beaches mere steps from your door sounds like paradise, and it can be yours when you stay here at the Sandbox on the Gulf of Mexico. Enjoy waking up to the sounds of serene ocean waves, birds, and the dolphins playing. With no shortage of things to do, sights to see, and things to experience, you and your group will create memories that will last a lifetime. Para sail, boat, fish, snorkel, paddle board, and do every other waterfront activity imaginable. After playing on the beach, explore historical landmarks, tour downtown and find local eateries, and discover family friendly attractions. Play a few rounds on the top-ranked Kiva Dunes Golf Course, or challenge your loved ones to some rounds of tennis on the nearby courts.
Inside you'll find a bright interior and welcoming air throughout. Gather around the comfortable furniture and enjoy good conversations or host a movie night on the TV. Hobby chefs will love preparing home-cooked meals in the full kitchen, equipped with all the cupboard space you'll ever need and a long breakfast bar that sits at least five. With four bedrooms and eleven beds, there are plenty of places to rest your head from the day's activities. Kids will love bunking together and making memories in the bunk beds that they'll remember forever. Sip your morning coffee on the patio and bask in the Gulf of Mexico sunrise reflecting on the water, feeling your cares melt away.

Beautiful spot
10.0 / 10.0
You can't get any closer to the beach. The layout is great and very cozy.
4.0 / 10.0
If you want a ocean front location and aren't picky about the interior of the house; this should be fine. But as you will note from other guests; this house is in desperate need of updating. Chipped paint, worn out fabrics, kitchen table cracked and barely standing. Holes in the walls, roaches in the kitchen and bathroom. It is seriously run down. Cheap metal blinds over the windows that don't offer complete privacy. Will not return to this location. Take everything that is stated by past guests as gospel.
10.0 / 10.0
Plenty of space for two families. Great layout of the kitchen and ample parking. Have to say the deck is the main star of the property! Plenty of room for family and friends to lay out AND STILL HAVE A GREAT VIEW ha ha. We found everything in good working order and the proximity to shopping and food helped our young adults not necessarily stick to us "older people"
6.0 / 10.0
Lots of issues that caused it to be less than relaxing. But customer service was on top of it and did what they could, I guess. Always responded and got someone out

Porch best asset.

Great location, toes in the sand right outside your door. The property is a very dated and could use some TLC. But we had a great time, and appreciate you sharing your home .

Perfect spot right on the beach. The house had everything we needed.
6.0 / 10.0
House is in a great location, everyone was great to work with, but the house could use some basic upkeep such as replace upstairs door handle, steam clean the arms of the couches, ect. Upstairs gets super hot.
6.0 / 10.0
The house is in a perfect location if you’re looking for something a little further away from the large condos. Bedrooms are fairly spacious and the deck is amazing! The best part about the home is the deck and the fact that you’re 50 feet from water. The furniture in the bedrooms are completely outdated and the home needs some love. The kitchen and bathrooms could be re-done rather than letting it continue to deteriorate. Great location overall, just needs some updating for sure! Not sure if I would book the same spot again or not but feel like an honest review is needed.
10.0 / 10.0
Loved that we just had to step off the porch and onto the sand! The deck is huge and amazing and partly covered in case of rain. There was a bit of weed and tear in the house but honestly that just made it feel more homely. It ended up just being my 18 year old son and myself so we didn’t use two to the bedrooms. I will be saving this home for the future for sure!!

Filthy cabinets and dirty and ghetto in general. No kitchen rags or towels. Property old and very outdated and in need of remodel. Clean beds. Spacious nice deck! Great location. An extensive report was taken by your representative who was so nice by phone weeks ago and we have not heard how you’re willing to compensate us.

We loved being able to walk a short distance to the beach.
10.0 / 10.0
This property was exactly what I needed for my vacation spot! The view and accessibility to the water exceeded my expectations! The deck was amazing and allowed enough space to hang out in the evening! The location was in a great spot and so close to shopping and restaurants! The house had ample space for four families, allowing everyone to have a bed! I hope to stay again!

While this house could use some major updates, the location and beach access are winners. The reviews are pretty accurate, so we brought our own cookware. You can’t feed 16 people with two small pots and one crab boil pot. There were plenty of plates and silverware to go around. We did invest in some good vinaigrette tablecloths for the deck since the kitchen table was used for our gear. The beds are subpar and many of the mattresses in the bunk room are just blocks of foam (a downer for us since we had adults in the bunk room). The beach and newly redone deck though made this a pearl. Unfortunately, this is managed by Vacasa and they were not very attentive to issues with the house. The washer needs to be repaired, one of the bunks was broken , so two people slept on mattresses on the floor. This property could upgrade a little in the off season and really shine. We enjoyed our trip because we were together as a family. The weather was perfect and the beach was wonderful.
6.0 / 10.0
The owner is not involved in making your stay a wonderful experience because they pay a property management company to handle everything. When has a property management agency ever been concerned about making your feel at home? Trash was piled high under the house, drain flys were inside the house and always buzzing in your face, the sink faucet has so much green slime growing in it you didn’t want to touch it, all plumbing fixtures were gross and old. Beach access was amazing.
10.0 / 10.0
This house is great, sits right on the beach, walk out back door and off the porch and you are on the sand. Had everything we needed to make it home for the week. Will definitely stay here again.
10.0 / 10.0
The ultimate piece of this location is the porch/deck that is expansive and a very few steps from the water. The house is older but clean with nice furnishings. My grandchildren LOVED our stay and didn’t want to leave. If you will be doing serious cooking, you may want to bring cookware to handle. We hope to return again.

It was a great place with wonderful access. It was a little worn but, perfect for our trip. 8 guys on a bachelor party trip. 5 star down to 4 stars because the cookware was very worn and no large skillets. Try cooking 2 pounds of bacon 2 slices at a time. The other thing is they could have supplied garbage bags. We left the ones we had to buy even though they did not fit the trash cans well.

It is a cute house right on the beach. Large living area made game night with my adult kids enjoyable.
4.0 / 10.0
Our family absolutely loved the house. Perfect for our simple needs. Plenty of room. Just in need of some minor repairs
10.0 / 10.0
The porch! Was an amazing spot to spend most of the day. A few steps from the beach. Would definitely stay again!
4.0 / 10.0
This property is in a prime location, but needs some rehab. The flooring in the kitchen was raised in some places and the kitchen floor had several soft spots that could be signs of rot.
The bathrooms need some attention as the shower heads were seemingly not secured to anything inside the walls and the wallpaper was peeling from the walls.
The property needs some pest control as flies and roaches made their presence known.
The overall cleanliness of the property was subpar, likely rushed to flip renters.
Great location and a decent place to stay with private beach access.

This was our first family vacation with our grown children and granddaughter. So many good memories were made. The house was wonderful inside and out. Loved view and the beach was steps away. We are already talking about next year. Definitely will recommend Vacasa!!

Great location nice house getting a little worn you pay for location price a little high for house but like I said location, very clean other than dishwasher it needs to be deodorized. the add on fee,s could be cheaper but overall it was nice
6.0 / 10.0
Location was wonderful and a great view. The only thing negative to say is some things in the house needs to be fixed and updated. Alot of light fixtures in rooms didn't work,upstairs doesn't stay real cold. We would stay here again if the price was what we paid for it this time but they did go up and I don't think it is worth that price to stay in a home that needs that many updates. If you don't mind older home and paying the price then all is good. Thanks foe sharing the sandbox with us
