Sandbridge water lovers retreat with beach, pool, canal, and lakes to explore.


"Honu Cove” is named for the majestic cove in Kauai, Hawaii. The motto there is "This is the first day of your life”. Perfect mantra for your family as you make memories that will last a lifetime while relaxing and enjoying the natural setting of Sandbridge Beach. The beautifully and fully renovated waterfront beach home is located on the prestigious north end of Sandbridge, a short 5 minute walk to the beach, and with RARE direct access to beautiful Crystal Lake and Lake Tecumseh. The open concept great room, kitchen with expansive island and dining room give you plenty of space for the whole family, or multiple families. Granite countertops and hardwood along with the tasteful appointments make this a great spot for any family with discriminating taste. Three master bedrooms each with en suite, two king and one queen, along with a queen bedroom, double bunkbed room, and queen air mattress make this a perfect multigenerational vacation spot! The screen porch off the great room as well as multiple decks offer both sun and shade to meet the varied needs of your family. The outdoor shower makes clean up after going to the beach a breeze for all. The private lagune style pool complete with waterfall looking into the canals off Back Bay gives a serene mood for your week at the beach. 2 person kayak and row boat are offered to guests at no charge for exploring the canals and nearby lakes to see a variety of wildlife or for fishing. Kids will love to fish off the dock or swim in the pool while adults enjoy the pool table. Also provided at no charge are 4 adult beach cruiser bikes, 2 surf boards, multiple boogie boards, a beach umbrella, beach chairs, and a cart to get your belongings to the beach, so there is something for everyone at Hone Cove!

We had 3 couples with young kids staying with friends and we had a blast! We used the bikes, water equipment, pool, and beach equipment to enjoy our stay even more. There was a cart that helped us transport items to the beach, which we often took on the 10 minute walk to the Widgeon Street access.

The home was exactly as described in the listing. Greg the host was wonderful to communicate with. Plenty of room in the home for families to gather for meals or hanging out but also space to have quiet time. The walk to the beach was easy and about 5-10 minutes. Our grandkids loved the backyard with access to kayaks and pool. They also enjoyed the turtles swimming around the dock. We would definitely book again in the future.

The house was perfectly maintained. Kitchen and bathrooms were stocked with the basic. Easy access to the property. We weren’t able to enjoy the pool because of the weather, but looking at it and the stream behind the property gave off peaceful vibes.Our host returned all text messages promptly. Comfortable beds. The kitchen, dining area and living room space allows for interaction with each other as we prepared dinner, played games and watched TV. The sun deck over the back porch was a refuge for me when things got crazy (playing UNO is loud and boisterous) I went up and enjoyed the warmth of the sun.

My family and I had a great long weekend here to celebrate a family wedding. The house was exactly as pictured and equipped with everything we needed for our stay and more! The communication and check-in process with Greg was one of the most seamless experiences I’ve had with an owner. Although we didn’t get to use the pool because of the sudden rainstorms, it was still very nice to look at. Will definitely look to rebook in the future for visits to the area!

Our family enjoyed our stay at Honucove. It was our first time for Sandbridge. House was large enough for our family of 13. Home was clean and had everything we needed. Swimming pool was enjoyed for late afternoon and evenings. Walk wasn’t that long to beach. We enjoyed a quiet neighborhood and plenty of room on beach. It was a Great. Thanks Greg
