Top Shifting Sands Beach Hotel Reviews

Book Spinnaker | Semi-Oceanfront Sandbridge Vacation Rental

8/10 Good

"Great location. Spacious house. Could use some upgrading and certainly could have been cleaner. Upon arrival we had to finish what cleaning crew left undone. Otherwise it is recommendable if you have a large group as we had (16 people)."

3-bedroom house in lovely Sandbridge Beach-Budget Getaway

10/10 Excellent

"We absolutely loved our stay!! The house was super cute with lots of character and everything we needed. Very comfortable beds!! So many fun spots to hang out inside and outside. We walked our dogs to the beach and enjoyed the beautiful neighborhood. It was so peaceful, and we will be back!! Wish we could've stayed even longer! The host was very kind and accommodating. 10/10 recommend."

Brownley Beach Cottage- steps to the Beach, Elevator, Dog Friendly!

8/10 Good

"This place was wonderful. My only real critique is that we wish we would’ve had hand soap and an extra dishwashing pod. Ended up having to water them down to make them last longer. Yes, we could’ve went out and bought some, but we were in town for a specific reason and didn’t have the time"

Reunion Paradise! Spacious Luxury Home and Pool House

8/10 Good

"overall, the house was nice and spacious for the amount of people that we had. But if I was able to rate the house with fraction, it would be more of a 3.5 /5 because it was challenging getting into the house because none of the door pads were working. There was only one that worked and it was in the back of the house. The oven was broken so cooking for the amount of people that we had in the house was challenging. the host said they live in the house when it’s not occupied by guests so there are a lot of locked cabinets and closets."

Sandbridge... Beautiful Beach Home With Direct Beach Access and Ocean Views

10/10 Excellent

"The house was absolutely beautiful and clean. Great view of the beach with easy walk right across the street. Kitchen is fully stocked with houseware to be able to cook. The host was quick at responding. Great location with quick drive to shopping."

Three Mermaids- New Listing Walk 2 Beach, Pool, Waterfront

10/10 Excellent

"The house accommodated our family well. I was glad I brought my own cooking pots and pans for those provided were pretty rough at the end of the season. The weather our week was very windy and rainy no fault of the house or owners. Also lost power for several hours one of our mornings but there was ample information on the area website and power was restored in a timely fashion. We used the backyard to launch our kayaks and that was wonderful. Had a few complaints about the mattresses in the bunk room adults were staying in but again end of the season. Overall all the house worked well for three families to cook, barbecue, eat, and enjoy the pool and playground. Lots of things to do including the Botanical Gardens and the Aquarium."
