This is the first vacation I have ever had to wait in a long line to check in. The house seemed sanitary, which is the most important consideration, but there was a lot of dust above the bathroom mirror, and the oven was dirty. The stove was so old, that the bottom was rusty. The dishwasher was also very old. Both seemed to be from the 80s. When you run the dishwasher or washer, forget watching TV, for the noise. The pans and skillets need updated and there should be more to choose from. Both single beds were extremely uncomfortable and tipped (flew up in the air) if you sat down too close to the end. The bedspreads were very outdated and faded, as was the wallpaper in the living room/kitchen area. I didn’t complain, because, as I stated before, the place appeared sanitary and a little dust doesn’t hurt. We did, however, run any dish, utensil, pot, pan, and glass we planned to use through the dishwasher first, as all had a greasy film to them, like they had not been washed or used for a long time. We also had to sanitize the cabinets and drawers we planned to utilize before placing dishes back inside, as they too had a layer of grease on them. On a positive note, and what made the stay great, was the unit’s proximity to the beach. You can be on the sand in a minute or two. Be aware the pool is chained/locked by 9:00 PM, which isn’t even total darkness. That was very upsetting for a summer vacation, as my teen son and his friend would have used the pool when they left the beach. It certainly isn’t because of noise, because the area was loud until about 1:00 AM, and the other Sandy Shores buildings kept their pools open late. Also, some nights I worried I couldn’t find a parking spot. Often, people had to park in the no parking zone to find a place. Also, there are no golf carts allowed, due to limited parking, yet some girls had a large cart in a spot one afternoon, which I noticed from the balcony. If you have a truck or SUV
