The Sandbridge Dunes - Il Mare 111

I booked this unit to meet up with my daughter, daughter-in-law, and 3 grandkids for their spring break the 1st week of March. The moment we walked in we were all very impressed with the condo! The open floorplan and big kitchen were the biggest hit with everyone! And we all loved that you are close enough to the beach to hear the waves crashing from inside the condo (with the windows open, of course). Unfortunately, their spring break was so early in the season and the week we were there it was chilly and raining, so we were inside more than we planned - so the large living area and kitchen turned out to be used a lot! The grandkids loved the huge stockpile of boardgames that were available and my daughter loved the VERY stocked kitchen! The bedrooms were great as well - especially the master suite! I slept in the bed in there, but I think every one of us used the jetted hot tub and/or huge shower! The pool area was still closed for the season, so all I can say about it is that it looked like it would have been a great place to relax. One grandson used the gym and said it was "cool". As for convenience - being able to just walk across the street to get to the beach was perfect! Having the Sandbridge Beachside Market also just across the street meant that we didn't have to drive back into town for some items. And the kids loved being able to walk over and get a snack or treat! We will definitely consider staying here again if we head back to the beach!

There was very little we didn't like. We all had issues with the beds though. The kids said the mattresses on the bunk-beds had seen better days (old and sagged in the middle). The mattress in the 2nd bedroom had the same sagging in the middle and one or the other of my daughter's ended up sleeping on the couch because they "were tired of rolling and falling into the sinkhole while sleeping." The mattress in the Master bedroom didn't sag in the middle, and is great - if you like really stiff mattresses.
