OV38- Sandy Cheeks

Good location, comfortable living arrangements and plenty of beds for everyone. The weather wasn’t great but the rental was. Only a few minor fixes that would make it better
- Broken microwave door need to be replace
- Better grill w/ propane (none connected grill in ad is misleading). We had to buy a full tank of propane was an unexpected expense.
- Install a fan in the downstairs bathroom. That’s one hot toilet.

We loved the big open space and the front porch. Lots of room for everyone at the kitchen table and island as well! We found the bedrooms to be small and had to keep all of our clothes in luggage as there was not truly any place to hang clothes or store them in any sizable dresser. We would have use the space underneath the house except that we had a bunch of drunk neighbors that made it unbearable but that is no fault of the property. We use the pool ones but found the pictures on the website to be deceiving as it is more of a baby pool with no depth to it. One of the perks of renting this place is that you do get a golf cart which are teenagers loved. eight of us stayed together for this vacation and the house was suitable for that number of people. Glad it had 3 bathrooms and an outdoor shower.

We enjoyed staying here with 5 adults and 4 children. The living room is very spacious and the kids loved to play in the pool. This is not in walking distance from the beach, but the golf cart came in handy and was very convenient. Given the covid situation, we were disappointed that the house was not cleaner when we arrived - for example, the downstairs toilet had not been flushed and there was a dirty, stained towel on top of the toilet. The floor also felt gritty and not cleaned when we first arrived. Other than those issues, we enjoyed our stay.

We really enjoyed our two-month stay in Sandy Cheeks. The location is perfect, the home spacious, and the living room has an abundance of comfortable seating. We'll be renting it again in 2021. The staff at Starkey Properties is very helpful, and we extend special thanks to Penny for her help in getting the internet connection up and running for us. Great management company and great house!

Fantastic family event! We were close to the beach, shopping, restaurants and nightlife. The best part is the spacious accommodations. We had 10 adults in our group at one time!

Suggestions: fix the dryer handle, add some kitchen cloth towels, and some light bulbs needed replacing. Also, when we arrived there was a strong fish smell coming from the fridge. Perhaps, ask guests to keep fresh fish in the downstairs refrigerator. The community pool is very small and being Memorial Day weekend very full; we didn’t use as there were drunk people talking to my kids & swearing when they were in there briefly. Overall, the property is decorated beautifully and everything was clean and comfortable. We enjoyed our stay.

best house!!

We planned a much needed family getaway with our immediate family. We were very pleased that we could all fit comfortably in the living/kitchen areas. The property had everything we needed to make the stay pleasant. It is located close to the beach and to town.

Was able to spend time with all of the family. Our family is maked up 13 mom,dad, son, daughters-in-law, and grandchildren. We all were able to have a wonderful family get-together for this weekend. We loved the the home everything was in great working order, large and roomy for everyone. The grill, the games and having the pool close to the house was just a plus. I highly recommend this house for large families. Thank you, to all the staff that helped.

Rented this location for a bachelorette party of 12 and everyone slept comfortably. Beautiful house, will definitely be renting it again for a big group. So cute!

This house was perfect for our multi-family getaway. There was room for everyone and we never felt like we were bumping into each other. It felt like home away from home.

Good trip! Really cute decor and looks new. The kitchen had many necessary supplies and extras. Shuffle board was fun and a nice touch. The house seemed clean for the most part, however, the duvet cover was dirty on the master bedroom. Plenty of room, lacked storage in masters but the beds make it a tight fit. Kids loved the bunk beds! The pool was small and lacked any shade. The porch area by the grill was dirty with cigarette butts and the grass was overgrown by grill. The restroom downstairs was dirty as well. Overall good stay!

Overall it was very nice, but there were a few issues with the home. The tv in one of the masters was unplugged and the plug was behind the tv and very hard to get to because it was mounted to the wall. The upper bunk beds were hot during the night. The lock on the door in the master to the right going out to the back patio was difficult to close. I did not like how the front door locked every time it was closed. We had to keep opening the door for the kids or just keeping it open, which led to bugs being in the home. The walls are also very thin and I could here everything going on in the other rooms when trying to go to sleep. I found that leaving the fan on in the restroom helped to drown out the noise. The shuffle board in the living room was fun, but we had to put more sand and salt for it to be used. If you are going to be staying during the week, be aware that there is construction of a home right across the street. They did not do work on the weekend, but they were there on Friday. Also the tub in the main bathroom NOT inside the master bedrooms did not drain well. It took forever for the water to go down which is gross when people are sharing that tub.
Pros: Home was very nice with great decor. The location was on point. The home was stocked with plenty of towels and toilet paper. The coffee maker does not need filters, FYI. The deck out front is very relaxing and the pool is super close and a decent size. The ladies at check-in were very nice and friendly.

We absolutely love it!! We would definitely come back and stay there again. The only complaint is there wasn't a boardwalk to the beach.

Clean and fun rental. The kids enjoyed the rooms and the beds were comfy. It was clean and the open living and kitchen was great!

Very clean residence with plenty of space. Good location minutes from the beach and minutes from town. Just need to remember to bring extra paper products when with a large group.

It was a huge improvement over last years stay.

A few maintenance things that should be addressed.
1) The front door has some problems staying closed.
2) The Light in the north toilet over the vanity was not working, this was something that should of been taken care of by your pre-check staff. Of any light to be out that was not one that should of been. Listening to a woman complaining about putting her makeup in the dark is not fun to listen to.
3) The propane bottle on the grille was empty.
4) My personal opinion.. the two bunk beds are to close the the ceiling. It was to hot to sleep up there.

Otherwise myself and everyone in our group liked the place, it was well stocked with games and misc. entertainment. There was plenty of room for the 9 of us and if we would of had room for 4 more folks. Everyone in our group praised the place and asked to book it again next year.
