The condo had many upgrades, which was really nice to see the only issue we had was with the TV. The volume would go up ...

I liked this property so close to beach access for daily walks while tide was out and in. It was easy access as we had a car rented. The pool was not yet open and would have been inconvenient if we had our grandchildren with us. it had a well stocked kitchen, good TV to watch play off hockey and front desk restocked items as we ran out ie. coffee,filters,toilet paper,garbage bags

We thoroughly enjoyed staying at Ocean Sands Resort. The staff were friendly and helpful, and the rooms were clean. We had the opportunity to have a condo with a sliding door right out to the ocean view and a short walk to the beach. There were several rabbits hopping around on the property. There was no restaurant on the premises but several options not far away.

This property was not for us. Staff did try to accommodate us, however it just was not what we expected from the pictures and description. It’s an elderly area, we had a bottom floor suite and did not sleep due to footsteps all night above us. We set the smoke detector off heating bread in the toaster. We checked out as soon as the office opened. Staff were understanding and very reasonable.

We spent three nights at the resort over the long weekend. The condo was well stocked with everything you may need. The condo was spacious! TV was small and not compatible for streaming. The office had dvd’s to borrow. The pool and grounds are well kept. Bunny rabbits running around for your enjoyment! Family oriented place. The staff were friendly and non intrusive.
