ABSV110 Sands Villa 221

Quiet, gated community.

Beautiful and beachy had all we needed!

We have stayed in about four different units at Sands Villas over the years. The room (221) at Sands Villa was nice , as always. The door lock took a little getting used to, but by mid-week we got it figured out. We appreciated the material that has been put down over the dunes between the boardwalk and the beach. It made walking, and pulling our beach cart, much easier. I was , however, disappointed that the hot tub at the indoor pool was not working the entire week. There was a sign up saying it would be worked on as soon as possible, but we didn't observe anybody working on it during our stay. I would get those overhead windows or vents working at the indoor pool, too. In the past they've been open during the hottest part of the day; we were told that they aren't working , either. Consequently, it got very hot in the indoor pool area during the day. Other than the issues with the indoor pool area we very much enjoyed our stay.

This unit has a great view of the ocean and pool. The placement of the unit is in the middle of everything so was easy to get where we needed to go. The building has elevators which was very helpful with loading up. Beach access was easy to get to, but be warned that the beach is very wide here and it is a long walk to the water. The kitchen was well stocked for the simple meals we made. However, there is no ice maker, so bring your own or you can use the ice trays provided. We liked that Vacasa provided all sheets and towels and a starter pack for kitchen and bathrooms. This unit is a two bedroom and while the second bedroom has two beds, it is cramped. There are no ceil fans, but portable fans are provided. This unit is not ideal for kids. There is a lot of glass furniture, decor, and dishes. No puzzles, books, or games for kids and no beach gear to borrow. We brought our own so we were fine, but beware if you're flying in that you will likely need to rent chairs, etc. Overall, we liked the quietness of this condo complex, the location and views were great. We had a nice time and would stay at Sands Villas again.
