Beach Week 2019
Jamie from Gibsonia, PAFor a relaxing and hassle-free OBX vacation, the Sandy Lion is the place you want to be! We had the best time at the Sandy Lion for our OBX vacation in July. The condo is very spacious and accommodated all of us well; equipped with a brand new washer and dryer, open kitchen, and a perfect porch balcony. A walk to the beach is only about five minutes away and there are multiple public beach access points around. There are also many bars and restaurants nearby as well and they are all easily walkable and even bike-able! The condo's pool is perfect: it was very quiet and was the perfect place to head to after the beach. The condo also includes an elevator, which is very nice and convenient after a long day at the beach and pool. We had the best time at the beach this year, and the Sandy Lion was a major part of that. Can't wait to come back again!
Excellent Stay
Brandy N. from MILLERS CREEK, NCThis was our first time vacationing in the OBX and our experience was AMAZING!! The unit was beautiful!! The pictures online doesn't do it justice. It was very clean and very well stocked!! We had clear instructions for check in, check out, and for the building access which has beach chairs, etc. The pool was great! There were rarely people down there. Most times we had it to ourselves. We loved the grilling area with the picnic tables. We had everything we needed and there were plenty of stores near by to pick up any extras. The ONLY complaint we have was the people above us. They ran through their condo from sun up to sun down. They also have a dog that was barking a lot. I actually went on the balcony while they were out there and asked them to please stop running through the house that we could hear everything. The didn't respond and they continued to make lot's of noise. Other than them everything was excellent!! We will be coming back to the OBX and we would love to stay in this same unit!!
August 2018 Stay
Karis T. from ChesapeakeOverall the stay was amazing! The condo was well-stocked including the storage with just about everything you need for the beach. We had the pool to ourselves any time we went down (which was often). Other guests, and their dogs, were disruptive at times (including a full-on Chase in the condo above us at 1am one night. I did not have the information I needed for parking and had to figure that out on my own. (Helped in large part to the sale flyer in the condo.) I also didnt have the information I needed to get into the storage and again, had to figure that out on my own which took a few days. All in all it was a great stay and phenomenal value.
Manager's Response:
Thank you Karis for your review. We are so happy to hear you had an amazing stay, while here visiting the OBX as our guest. I do apologize if you initially had issues with your parking arrangements upon your arrival, and locating your storage. We always recommend downloading our Hospitality App, or come by for a check in packet. In the future, please never hesitate to contact our office if there is ever anything we can help with, to make your stay more enjoyable. We look forward to welcoming you back to the beach, for another great year.
June 2017 Stay
Canise W. from MonroevilleOur condo was very nice and clean. They accommodated our early arrival without a hassle (Which was two hours before) Our only complaint are that our neighbors above us were very noisy and the ceiling fan in master bedroom sounded like it was going to fall out of the ceiling when you turned it on. The beach chairs and cart was really a nice feature to have. All in all I would recommend this condo and would consider rebooking in the future.
April 2017 Stay
Linda & George C. from Harrisburg PAVery clean and close to everything yet far enough away. Beautiful home and very comfortable. It was very "homey" feeling. It was just the relaxing break we needed. Beach is only a 2-3 minute walk from home. Would definitely stay there again. Easy process to rent, obtain entry code, and easy check out.
August 2015 Stay
Andrea J. from Salamanca nyMy family of five stayed in our retreat for the first time that we came to OBX. We were very comfortable and the place was very clean. We appreciated access to storage for beach supplies. It had everything we needed and it made the trip a success! The kids kept occupied when in the condo with the board games. We also rdonated a few kites that we bought the kids for the dunes. We were not very good at it so we hope others will enjoy and be successful with them. We would be happy to choose Village Realty again!
June 2015 Stay
kim p. from AltoonaOverall, a good place to stay. Wifi was spotty at best. Maintenance said it was working as expexted. Could not use it in the master bedroom at all. Living room reception was poor (1 bar). It also often just stopped connecting to our devices. On Saturday, folks moved in next door with a barking dog. Hopefully the dog will be quiet this evening! Room was very clean and met all expctations. Pool was great too!

Very nice three bedroom condo in a great location! Many comforts of home, including a well stocked kitchen and perfect setting to just relax with the family. Very spacious. It's a quick walk to the beach and many eating places. Short bike ride to Wright Brothers and other locations. Stores near by too. Nice pool area. Very clean. We really enjoyed our stay and it exceeded our expectations. THANKS A BUNCH for the great accommodations!
