Location was perfect

Being right on the beach and listening to the ocean is what we were after, and this house did not disappoint. Great location to everything we wanted to do in the area. That being said, the house itself is older, and smelled very musty. We had a couple of small issues and ITrip was very prompt with correspondence. Overall not a bad stay, but I would suggest a few updates to the home.

Great Location

The property was in a great location. Great access to the beach. The property is just very outdated and not the cleanest. The porch furniture was rusted and broken, a few bugs were inside, and it smelled when we arrived. Overall it was not terrible, but we do not think we will stay at this property again.

Summer VACA

only a few complaints... we had to hammer in 3 nails on the lower deck. Tossed out a rusty, broken umbrella. Adirondak chairs were broken and dangerous for kids to sit on. All our towels and wet clothing got rust stained from old chairs that were on the deck. There were no hooks to hang wet towels on inside or outside. No wine opener. Had to do some landscaping on lower level to get to the stairs from the carport. Needs some TLC but our stay was fun and nice. Great location and great beach access!

Old house

We had requested 2 pack and plays. When we arrived there were none and the office was closed for the next 2 days. 2 of the single beds had black spots on the sheets under the bed spread . When we contacted the office they said we will replace the sheets. They said housekeeping noticed stuff coming out of the vents when they trims the heat on. My point is they had to see the black spots all over the sheets on 2 different beds but still put the bed spreads on . There must be a lot of stuff in the vents! The house is old and needs a lot of updating. It is right on the water in a nice neighborhood but also right on the main road and is very noisy.

The house overall was nice. Loved the closeness to the beach and the back porch. The house could use a better cleaning and updating of bathrooms and cleanier furniture. The kitchen needs better stocked with pots and frying pans.

Great week away at Sandy Bay!

Location was perfect, we loved that they had beach toys and umbrellas that we could use for the week. Housekeeping could have been a little better, it was a little dusty, and there was animal hair all over the furniture. A little bit of a pest control issue with roaches inside the house as well. Overall Sandy Bay, was a beautiful place and we would love to stay there again in the future!

great vacation

great location. very clean and neat. only change we would make is have the high beach chairs on the upper deck, so you can see the beautiful view. Also, have gates at both ends of the walkway, so if you have a dog you do not have to worry about loosing your pet if someone fails to lock the gate on the porch and also you could have your pet on the walkway. Also a few plastic glasses for small children. we had a great time and enjoyed the cottage

Fall beach trip

You can not complain about the beautiful view of the beach from the back porch! The house had new carpet. Kitchen and baths outdated but functional. I was disappointed that trash was never picked up. I called the management team at Itrip Vacations and was told someone would come empty one of the cans. No one ever came. We had 3 full outside trash cans that we kept packing down to allow more room. I would like to return but it is a shame that the price is unreasonable for this house in the future.

No title

House needs some updating/restoration from storm damage. Also, garbage has not been picked up this whole week. We have no place to put ours. Also, why only one hand towel for each bathroom? People we have dealt with are super. They have been caring and concerned with our trip. They need a big raise!

Sandy Bay Oct 8-14

There were a few issues but nothing major. The dryer vent was crushed against the wall so the clothes weren’t drying until we figured out the issue. Other than that it was OK. I say OK because I see the cost has almost doubled for next year so we will not be staying in this house again. The owners need to upgrade a lot of things before this house is worth what they are now asking.

Needs updates

We’ve stayed at this property before and I really wanted to love it again, but didn’t. Beds are old and need replaced, very noisy and just not comfortable. Appliances were decent at best: microwave didn’t get food hot, dryer took several cycles to dry clothes, refrigerator leaked. Porch is just beautiful with a great ocean view but more furniture needs added. There’s a pile of “junk” in the corner of the porch that consists of broken beach chairs, broken umbrellas and other miscellaneous items that appears to be left behind. Overall our vacation was nice but just really wanted to love this place again. Perhaps after some updates…

Breakfast by the beach

Called the day I arrived about a broken chair and was told maintenance would pick it up Monday but they never arrived. Is what it is but would have liked to see some follow through. Also, the smoke detector upstairs beeped non stop. Vents had mildew or mold around them and could really use some attention as it caused some concern for a few in our party. Other than what's been pointed out, we had an excellent stay and very much enjoyed ourselves.

BEWARE: this property needs ALOT of work

Altho this property is in a wonderful location and the view was amazing, the inside left so much to be desired. In general, VERY dated and mold was an issue throughout the house. Specifically, the living room couches were worn out (SAGGING AND UNCOMFORTABLE), the kitchen stovetop was in terrible condition and there were not any good pans to even cook the basics, (pans too small, no non stick pans and alot of cheap plastic cooking utensils that didn't work, no can opener or cookie sheets). Furniture on the back deck was in terrible condition, rockers rotten (one actually fell apart when a cup of coffee was placed on the arm). The bathrooms were all very dated and the shower heads all needed replaced. The tub shower upstairs and down both leaked and there was mold present. The most disturbing was when we went to bed the first night, the bed was soaked. Upon looking up, there was a huge water stain and leak in the ceiling. The mattress and pillow was soaked - even the surrounding carpet. Mildew and mold were on the ceiling here as well. This had clearly been going on for some time. The windows upstairs and down were hard to see through because there was clearly a condensation issue. The downstairs bathroom had a dripping faucet that got worse as the week progressed. We did call maintenance on both the faucet (which they replaced) and the ceiling (they were able to stop the leak) but there was nothing done to fix the bed so it was unused.
