Perfect mini vacation!

Our stay at the condo could not have been better. The place was very clean, check-in process was easy, and the location of the condo was perfect. One of our favorite parts was the view from the balcony. We very much enjoyed our time at Sandy Smile!

Great location & condo!

My wife & I took our 2 grand daughters for a last minute get away before school starts. The facility was great and everything was clean and well kept. Location is perfect for getting to anything up and down the seawall. We will be back for sure. Donna checked on us regularly.

Great condo for the price.

Check-in and out was effortless. Our host was accommodating and responsive. The condo was clean, well-stocked, and in a great location. We had everything we needed to cook if we wanted to. We were within walking distance of the beach and did not have to drive far for restaurants or shopping.

Great little place!

Great little place for a getaway! Clean and well furnished. Easy checkin and great communication. Enjoyed the heated pool and hot tub. Beautiful view and gorgeous sunrises!!! Would be a tight fit for 6 people. Watch the planes and helicopters land and take off at the nearby airport (can be a little loud but still fun to watch!). Highly recommended.

Great Place to Stay

We enjoyed our condo. It was located in a great part of town and the property was extremely clean. Remodeling was being done in the front of the property, but it didn’t affect anything. The pools were beautiful . Inside, our room was cute and clean. Everything you could need was provided. We would come again and have already recommended it to family.

We were absolutely thrilled. The condo was perfectly laid out. Had everything we wanted. We loved our stay. It is just what we needed. It was very quite during our stay. We walked the seawall and the beach. Ate at the local restaurants. We will be back. We actually had three white owls fly right beside the condo and looked straight at us as if to say hi. Perfect getaway. Enjoy.

Such a great condo!

While the condo is not huge, it was perfect for the week for my family of four. We loved the coffee bar, upgraded shower and my boys loved the towel animals when we arrived. It was very generous that the owner stocks a few basic items, like garbage bags, sandwich bags and tinfoil. It was nice not to have to buy boxes of these items when we were only going to be there 6 days. The condo building itself is dated, but this condo was very affordable and the pools seem to be very well maintained.

Great for families

This condo was perfect we had 3 adults and 2 small kids. Bunk beds worked great for the kids 1 adult used the sleeper sofa and then 2 adults in the bedroom! Heated pool was a hit on the cooler days. We did drive to the beach instead of walking directly across is just rocks so to get to sand you have to walk about 6-10 minutes. Great beaches all around though for just a short drive! Dave was amazing and checked on us regularly (via text) to make sure we were having a good stay. Overall this was a great vacation spot, location was within 10-15 minutes of great restaurants and attractions. Go karts and putt putt right next door. Felt very safe!
