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!

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.

This property is in a great location to both the beach & local restaurants. It was very clean & had everything my family needed to enjoy their stay during my son’s wedding weekend. It was too chilly for the pool but the boys jumped in anyway! The only thing of concern I would note is the indoor winding staircase, inside what is the front entrance, that leads to the kitchen & upstairs bedrooms. It’s difficult to traverse with full hands so I recommend entering the home, and sending someone up to unlock the upstairs door & everyone loading in via the southern stairs. 10/10 would recommend!

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!

The beach house was great! In Sandbridge, there are many beach houses, with some fancier than others. This house is in a great location, right on the end with a dock and access to the quieter side of Sandbridge beach. The owner was very responsive with any requests or questions that we had about the house. There were some ants that were pesky but we resolved the issue (it happens, especially at this time of year). The pictures really tell the story. It is not the newest beach house on the block, but accommodating, remote, and a nice stay for a vacation. We enjoyed it very much! Definitely would stay here again!

Wonderful Family Vacation

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

A nice beach stay.

The description of the property was accurate. Nice house, nice pool, nice location. Most of the property was very clean. Bathrooms were relatively new and clean. Furniture and beds were in good shape. Nice neighborhood and a short walk to the beach. Our family likes birding and nature and the nearby wildlife refuge was very worthwhile. The beach was beautiful and uncrowded. Good places to eat only twenty minutes away. Overall we had a great visit.

Great Family Spot

We loved the location and easy access to the beach. We had a great time on the roof deck and the porch. We also spent a lot of time in the kitchen and the family room. Just be careful with the spiral staircase if staying with young children. Our one complaint is that we would have been liked to told beforehand that we'd only be supplied with one roll of toilet paper per bathroom, and would have to purchase our own soap, shampoo, and dishwasher, as it would have saved multiple shopping trips. Overall, we enjoyed the layout and location of the house and thought it was well-suited for our needs.

Solid property

Overall I would call this a solid property with some opportunities. Location was great and wonderful for families with children (no sidewalks so keep an eye on the children). Kitchen, bedrooms were very nice. Manager was very welcoming and did a nice job with the check in. Some opportunities: some of the bedding did not fit the mattresses and the bedding/towels were getting pretty dated, floors needed some better cleaning and the washing machine is a front loader and has a lot of mold on the rubber (we all get this; just needs some maintenance). These are minor things which could be remedied easily and I would upscore to a 5 if they were taken care of.
