The Sandbox

This was the perfect beach house for our three families (11 people including kids and a dog) for all of our activities. The rooms were fine with good furnishings, clean bathrooms, and a large kitchen/dining area on the top floor. The house had nice decorations throughout. We made most of our meals and refrigerator and dishwasher and provided dishes/pots/utensils were good. Washing machine and dryer got a workout, too, with towels from pool and large hot tub and of course the nearby beach (easy walk and access). And, the house is located close to all OBX activities, shopping, and dining. The reasonable cost rental house, helpful staff at Village Realty, and nice weather made this a fine family vacation. Thanks.

We were delighted to find a house close to the beach that was pet friendly and has a pool for the younger kids. House was clean, beds great were great pool was awesome !Close to everything needed ( Resteraunts , shopping, grocerys) Realty company was Fantastic ! Kitchen was totally stocked very impressed ! We loved the stair tamer for grocerys and luggage ( Great Ideal) We will look into booking the Sandbox again. Thanks for making a great vacation for us.

Another wonderful year at The Sandbox! Lovely house and the owner updates (like the new back steps and new bedroom furniture) are wonderful, thank you owners!! Well appointed kitchen, great pool and hot tub and well laid out to allow multiple generations of family to enjoy themselves on various levels without disturbing each other. Access to the beach is close as is access to other fun OBX attractions and sights to see. We are already signed up to return next year.

Our family had a wonderful time at your beach house. We had 2 families stay with our parents and there was plenty of room. The house was very clean and well organized with many of the items we usually bring from home already stocked in the kitchen. Our dogs (beagle and chihuahua) felt right at home and the pool was a nice size to accommodate our group. Thank you for sharing your home. We really enjoyed our time and look forward to coming back again.

Thank you for sharing your home to my family on our 2018 Christmas family vac. Perfect home for my family . Plenty of room . Everthing from kitchen to the bedroom to bathroom are well stacked. Very closed to the beach . Even little things such us little dive to lunch or just walking on the beach everyday are the memories that well stay with us . When life gets stressful for my 2 adult children , we will always have own personal paradise in our own mind to escape to . Those sunrise & sunset by the Ocean by our dog Penny Lane , these will be the Good old days that they will tell to their kids someday.
Just one little thing that i need to address , just be cautious to the sand Spurs at the back if you have a dog. Other than that we had a wonderful time at you Lovely home ... Casiana Zaraspe

Perfect home and location for our stay. Plenty of room for everyone, kitchen well stocked, close to the beach with ocean views. Great hot tub weather! The sand spurs in the back yard, and the aggressive dog next door were the only drawback. Had to pull the spurs out of the dogs paws and our feet. Other than that, it was an enjoyable trip. All staff very friendly and helpful!

Absolutely lovely house! Very comfortable for our family with room for the teenagers to enjoy the lower level and the adults the upper level! Well equipped, clean and surprisingly very good sound absorption for quiet, restful sleep. The beach access is so convenient and the location is good for enjoying activities up and down the Banks.

We have really enjoyed staying at the Sandbox. It was perfect for our family. Great location, pool, hot tub and home!

Amazing week! The house was gorgeous and so were the views. It was a quick walk to the beach and to a few local bars. It wasnt crowded this week which was nice.

Kitchen was well stocked with all you need to make a gourmet family meal! Next door neighbors back yard was filled with trash and was an eyesore from back deck. The back yard was filled with sand spurs which I had to pluck out of dogs paws and fur. That is only complaint. We had a great time at Sandbox

The home has more than enough room for everyone to relax and enjoy the views of the ocean. The home is very pet friendly but still very appealing. The Sandbox is a short walk to the ocean as well as being centrally located to restaurants, shops and local events. We look forward to planning another family vacation to this home.

Well equipped kitchen, furnishing nice. Quick walk to the beach, and water views when you eat on the screened porch. Good pool for kids and nice backyard for dogs. Screened porch and pool area could use some spring power washing, but hey, we're at the beach! We'll be back!

Very nice home! Kitchen supplied with equipment for someone who loves to cook! Very clean , plenty of towels. Quaint yet roomy enough for a family of 8 to get away from each other when needed. Fence in mending .. I have a big dog if he was smaller he would have escaped to chase the cat who hangs out in the back of Kmart
We will be back!

Great house! Only had minor beginning of the season issues. Both were taken care of immediately. The communication with Village Realty was easy and pleasant.
Definitely download the app! It really has everything you need!

We really enjoyed our stay at the house. It really helped to have the week to wind down a bit after our daughter's wedding on the beach in Nagshead and reception in Manteo. The house was lovely, clean and well equipped, and had beautiful ocean views. The stair tamer made the move on and out go very smoothly. The dog enjoyed the fenced backyard, and we enjoyed the spa. There was not enough sun the week we were there for the solar heater to heat the pool to a temperature that any of us adults would try. I would only say, try to consolidate some of the kitchen stuff so there is adequate cupboard room for food (but the counter space was huge, so that's what we ended up using. ) Also closets have adequate hangers (for once we didn't have to use a single one of those we brought. ), but it would help if there were less extra pillows/blankets, etc stored in closets to make room for clothes, hats, luggage, and perhaps one free standing storage closet for the extras downstairs with instructions where to locate them wh

Great house. Weather was not so good but had a wonderful time with friends. See you next year. Patsy, Jim, Pam, Peewee and Pugsley

Love the Outer Banks! House was great, short walk to beach, great pool, fun for the dog!

Great vacation home! Kitchen fully stocked, lots of room for multi-families, quick walk to beach and a cool off dip in the pool. Beds could be more comfortable. Overall great place and convient to other attractions.

Our family had an amazing stay! The house was perfect and the 5 minute walk to the beach did not hurt . Looking forward to our next trip to OBX and using Village Realty for all our needs.
