LOVE this house!
Such a lovingly kept home! The rental company is top notch. Responsive, helpful, informative. We had just a couple hiccups that were handled so quickly, they aren't even worth mentioning in detail: They did not detract from our joyful stay. We'll continue ranking this at the top of our list of properties to rent! Thanks to all who make it possible!- Anonymous from fredericksburg, Posted: 10/20/2024
Great house for a family
This house was exactly what we were looking for when we booked in OBX. Management was helpful when we arrived a little earlier than our original scheduled check in time and was able to get us in about an hour early. The house, pool, and hot tub were all clean. The beach access was only a very short walk and was very doable with our children. There were a lot of spurs in the back yard, so just make sure you wear shoes. Overall, we had a great stay and would book this home again.- Anonymous from Irvine, Posted: 8/25/2024Thank you for your great review! We’re thrilled to hear that the house was exactly what you were looking for in OBX and that our management team could accommodate your early arrival. We appreciate your note about the spurs in the backyard—it's always good to be prepared! We're glad you had a great stay and would love to welcome you back again!- Coast Realty NC staff, Posted:

Easy to book and property description was accurate.- Anonymous from Alexandria, Posted: 7/28/2024
Family Trip Heaven
The house is very nice and about one block from the public beach access. It was a beautiful house, but the only thing is for being a pet friendly house, the yard was absolutely not pet friendly. The pool/ patio are was great. The yard on the other hand was pretty bad. The grass and weeds are out of control and the sand spurs are horrible. There’s a nice volleyball net in the yard, but cannot use it due to the condition of the yard area. Overall, that did not ruin our trip, and I would absolutely stay here again if the yard was taken care of. Hope to see you next year house!- Anonymous from Johnstown, Posted: 6/27/2024
Sandbox Rental
The sand box was a great house for me and my family to stay. The house was very clean and organized. The house was a great fit for everyone and was in the perfect location for several restaurants and bars. Overall this was a great experience.- Anonymous from Tarboro, Posted: 2/21/2024Hi Patty, Thank you for the awesome review. We hope your stay was everything you hoped for and more. Come back soon!- Coast Realty NC staff, Posted:
Conveniently Located Rental
We had a wonderful stay at The Sandbox, conveniently located in walking distance to the beach. I would NOT recommend this property to anyone who has dogs due to the high volume of sandspurs in the backyard, making it unusable. Other than that, The Sandbox was the perfect home base for my family.- Anonymous from Greensboro, Posted: 1/2/2024Thank you for your review and for bringing this to our attention, as we understand the concern for pets. We agree, The Sandbox is located in a central area with something for everyone! The owner is on a sandspur treatment plan to rectify this issue. Sandspurs are native to the Outer Banks and although we cannot fully prevent any issues caused by them, we do our best to prevent this from impeding on our guests stay.- Coast Realty NC staff, Posted:
The Sandbox
This home is located within a great distance to everything including the beach, shopping and restaurants. For the most part, the home was very clean with the exception of the outside shower area. Also, if you are planning to use the backyard for your dog, please note the yard is full of "sticky weeds" which would not be good for your dogs paws. We enjoyed our stay- Anonymous from Spotsylvania, Posted: 6/26/2023
Wonderful Stay
We had a wonderful stay at The Sandbox. The house was very well equipped and clean. We especially appreciated the awning at the pool. Very convenient location and great views of the ocean. Great communication before and during our stay. Would definitely book again.- Kathleen R , Posted: 6/22/2023
Great Location
My family and I enjoyed our stay very much. The house was beautiful and very clean. It was perfectly located by the beach and had lots to do nearby! They quickly responded when we had an issue with the house and tried to fix it right away! Would definitely stay here again!- Amy C , Posted: 6/12/2023
