This was our third stay at Sandy by the Sea and it once again was excellent. The home is very comfortable and the location is perfect. The heated pool was very welcome on some high wind days that made the beach less than ideal. Finally, our dog appreciated the fenced in back yard.

We arrived as Hurricane Milton was bearing down on Tampa. Fortunately for us, the weather was absolutely perfect in the panhandle. The house was great, which happened to be a consolation to the house we originally booked just a block over ( the owner accidentally double booked us and cancelled our reservation - real professional). We were really happy with this alternative. The home is very nice and spacious. The lawn, yard and pool were all very nice. The pool area could use an upgrade on the furniture, but we learned that on a 5-night trip the pool was barely used at all. I think a small part of that is because there is no access from the house to the pool, you need to walk down the driveway and through the gate to the backyard, which just made us forget about it a little.
The only other downside we found was the 2 bathrooms. We were fine with just us and two kids, but since there are 4 (nice) bedrooms, if you plan to pack it in, I hope everyone is pretty friendly.
Space is otherwise good. Living room seating is basically theater couches, but they were good and could seat a lot of people. Kitchen worked well and the master is spacious.
Access to the beach and surrounding restaurants, cafes, ice cream shop and beach are all great. Side note: we did rent a 6-person golf cart, which was nice, but I don’t really think it was necessary. We did use it to take stuff to the beach, but you could do that with your car.
Overall, recommended!

The house was pretty nice but after cslling three times no one ever cleaned the pool. I saw pool chemical bags in the trash can one day, so maybe they dumped carnival or salt in, but you could tell no one ever vacuumed or skimmed the pool. Just walking around in it you could see the settled dirt flow up. And i asked three times. Idk

Bottom rooms were hot,gas grill did not work, no light bulbs in lamps, pool was dirty, ants around pool. Would definitely not recommend staying there? Had to have fans in room just to keep the air flowing.
