Cutest House and Perfect Vacation!

I stayed here with 3 friends, and the house was perfect! The outside area was so nice at night. The pool was very nice to have. The house was so cute and so nicely decorated. It was a quick commute to the beach and to all the little shops and the piers. I highly recommend staying here!

We had a great time at Sandy Cheeks, it was the perfect place for our family to stay. We were on AMI for a family wedding but will be back again for longer vacation. The location was a 10/10, especially loved walking to Bean Point for the spectacular sunsets.

We had an amazing stay! The private plunge pool was a perfect way to cool off after a day at the beach, and the location can’t be beat just a short walk to beautiful, secluded Bean Point.The home was spotless on arrival and very well maintained throughout. The kitchen was impressively stocked with everything we needed for home cooking, which made meals easy and enjoyable.Overall, fantastic property that delivered on comfort, cleanliness, and location. We’d happily stay here again!

This property was great! Away from most of the action yet easily accessible by golf cart (a must rent on the island). Many nearby beaches to enjoy. The house is in great condition and very clean.

We really enjoyed this house....very beautiful home and fully stocked with all you need. The location was the best for us as we love Rod N Reel Pier! The only suggestions I would make are ceiling fans in the bedrooms and an outdoor shower. Other than that, pretty perfect! Thanks so much for having us!

No refrigerator

The property manager let us know about an hour before we arrived that the refrigerator wasn’t cooling and a part was on order. They supplied a cooler and offered to reimburse our ice purchases. I had to reach out to them on my own to see when the refrigerator would be repaired, hoping it would be the same day, turns out the fridge was broken the whole entire time. So by day two, I had a giant cooler full of water and no fridge to properly store our food. A cooler is fine for drinks but not a safe way to store food. This caused our family significant expenses in both time and money because we had to dine out for every meal. I asked to be compensated, the most the property owner would do was refund one night stay. I am extremely disappointed and would not recommend this property due to the lack of empathy and respect from the owner.
