"The only real problem was that the WiFi kept dropping. The left side of the house didn’t keep internet connection. Had to go to the garage to get heat. Also the decks all needed to be cleaned/power washed from the bugs. Couldn’t use the balconies off the bedrooms. But we would stay here again."

Beach Seclusion at its best- Sandbridge

10/10 Excellent

"We had a great time! The house is very nice and clean. Appliances all worked properly. I loved that the kitchen was on the second of three floors. It's a short walk to the beach, which was clean and beautiful as well. The pool was great and we used it alot after coming back from the beach. Each room has its own tv and all the remotes work. There is plenty of room to spread out in the house, the deck/porch that goes all the way around the house was really nice!There is a lot to do in the area within 30 minutes. The little store in Sandbridge Bridge is well stocked and reasonably priced. The bar/restaurant next door has good food and had activites 3 nights of our week. Zeros sub were delicious as well!"
