Sandy Paws is a Perfect Beach Vacation Rental.
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.

Great family vacation!
We had a great time at Sandy Paws! My husband and children (a 3 and 1 year old) went with my parents and brother. I defintely appreciated all the baby equipment they had available so we didnt have to pack as much. Everything was as expected and the house was great! We did need to some essentials to get through the whole week, like toilet paper, but not unexpected, just something to factor into plans. Good 4 wheel drive cars are definitely needed. My parents had a ford bronco and we have a mazda cx5 and did just fine though. It is about a 40 min drive to get to grocery and shops so something else to consider in plans. Ultimately, everything was as promised and a great stay and we saw plenty of horses right in the front and back yards!
