Both the property and the host were wonderful. Alan checked in via text multiple times to make sure everything was going well. The cabin is adorable with the themed rooms and overall wilderness vibes. It is also ideally situated to Yellowstone being less than a half hour drive away from the West gate. We really enjoyed sitting out on the wrap around porch to watch the stars and wildlife. We would absolutely recommend this property to anyone!

Bill was very nice and allowed us to check in early. The room had an awesome ocean view and overlooked Ocean Annies. HOWEVER, the room itself was unbelievebly awful. We had been looking forward to our annual Myrtle Beach vacation for a while. We switched up this year and booked via Vrbo instead of the resort. Big mistake. The room was moldy and outdated. The lamps had caked on dirt and gave me the creeps to touch them. The worse room we've had in the 10 years of staying at Sands Ocean Resort. Wish I had more room to upload additional photos of the room. Such conditions are far from what one would expect from a professionally listed property. It was very disappointing and ruined our vacation. Sands Ocean Resort is an awesome place to stay. It's well kept, fun, has live entertainment and karaoke in the indoors Sandal's Lounge. HOWEVER, book THIS room at your discretion.

Comfortable Cabin near Yellowstone

We came for a family vacation to Yellowstone and loved Alan’s cabin. It was very comfortable, and had plenty of room for the four of us. We appreciated the washer/dryer and well-stocked kitchen cookware. Alan was very attentive and messaged us often to make sure we had all we needed for a great stay.

We spent two nights in the cabin and it was amazing! So beautiful, decorated so well, clean and hosts were so caring! We had a wonderful time, played games, ate, and went into West Yellowstone to the Playmill. This beautiful cabin was easy to find, great views and the birds were so fun to watch, humming birds and swallows! That you for a great stay!

Great stay

Our group was thrilled with the property and how well it fit our needs. Our group was 4 adults and 3 kids and everyone had “space” and really enjoyed all the cabin had to offer. The location is perfect, close to everything the area has to offer (fishing, restaurants, Yellowstone etc. ) but is far enough to keep away from all the crowds, offering peace and quiet for relaxation after a busy day. The property owner is great at keeping in touch and making the stay go smoothly.

Great place to relax

Our family of 9 stayed here for our annual trip to Island Park and it was perfect for our needs. The kitchen had everything we needed to make family meals. The cabin was clean and cozy. The beds were comfy and there was plenty of space and supplies to make our stay comfortable. To be honest, the pictures don't do it justice. The host was fantastic at checking in and communicating to make sure we had all we needed. We would definitely stay here again!

Winter Wonderland

Our family wanted a white Christmas for once since we live in Florida and boy did we get it! Alan's cabin was the perfect location straight out of a Hallmark movie. Everything was covered in snow with the backdrop of the mountains and cabins all around. The cabin was 37 min from West Yellowstone and about 2 1/2 hours from Grand Tetons national park. Alan went out of his way to purchase a Christmas tree so we could decorate and put some presents under. He checked in every day to make sure we had everything we needed, also kept me posted on snow forecast. It did end up snowing the last day we were there which made the whole vacation! We will definitely stay here again if we make another trip out to Yellowstone.

Why they chose this property

We built our cabin in Island Park because we love the area and the outdoors. Island Park has all the recreational activities that folks leave the cities for. It is a wonderful vacation area close to one of the nations best national parks (Yellowstone). My wife and I love having family and friends enjoy the sights and activities with us.

What makes this property unique

Our cabin is located in a quiet area with 360 degree views of the surrounding mountain ranges. We enjoy ATV riding, fishing, snowmobiling, and just relaxing. Our trips never seem to last near ong enough.
