Paradise Sands 5bed/3 bath+home office Sleeps 13

The house is beautiful. It is literally on the beach and high tide feels like its just steps away. The location is juat far enough away from the pier that the crowds are light, at least in September.

our second time booking the property. Excellent communication with Karl the host , thoroughly enjoyed our stay!

Accommodations were perfect!

I will start with the positive saying Karl the owner was great! Immediately responsive to all my texts, but the house was not what i had expected for the money. I booked primarily because of a previous review that said the kitchen was well stocked to prepare thanksgiving meal for 8 people…well, I don’t know what they were cooking with! There was 1 pot holder, no broiler pan, no ice maker and only 3 ice trays with no bucket to hold ice in order to refill trays. We made a Walmart run to buy kitchen supplies that were lacking. The knobs on the vent over the stove were broken and the owner had to send his cleaner with some pliers for us to be able to turn the knobs in order to use the light and the vent. We had to buy solo cups in order to have enough glassware, lots of coffee cups, but not enough glasses. there was a cheap, plastic Mr Coffee 12 cup coffee maker. It did the job but a keireg or something a little nicer was expected for the price of the listing. There were 8 adults in our group and the house was small for that amount of people. We are all family so it was OK, but the sitting area was smaller than it looked online and not enough seating, The dining table was great for 8…square table so we gathered at table to talk and play games, etc. there were no games or puzzles at house, only a deck of cards, some ping pong balls and poker chips. The listing says there is a charcoal grill….thats a joke! It’s a small uncovered stand up grill like you find at a state park that might hold 4 burgers. It was dirty and peeling. 4 bedrooms are upstairs. The bathrooms were newly renovated and nice. there was 1 bathroom for 3 of the bedrooms and an en suite for the master. There was another full bathroom downstairs off the main living area. A small office/bedroom directly off kitchen. The main deck off living area had 4 Adirondack chairs and a bench. They had put a few beach chairs on the lower deck for us to use and a can jam game which was nice. All in all the house was pretty stripped down. No extra blankets or pillows in bedrooms or throws to use on sofas and barely equipped kitchen. The location is very convenient. At high tide the waves are right at the base of the stairs to beach, at low tide its a wonderful wide flat beach. Nice close walk to the pier and 2 1/2 mile walk the other way to sea wall. There was a broom and whisk but a vacuum would’ve been nice to keep the sand at bay on the inside floors. We won’t book again.
