Loved our time at SandSpur. Our room was spacious and clean. Beds were comfortable. The pool looked clean and well maintained. We spent most of our time at the beach so we didn't use the pool, but it was nice to have if we wanted it. We cook almost every night so the kitchen was nice. It was clean and all the appliances worked. The room we had only the bare minimum of cooking utensils, but we made do with what was there. If you need more than one pot and pan you should plan to bring your own. The only complaint, that's not a real complaint but suggestion, is that there are no water hoses for quick rinsing of beach equipment near the units. It would be nice to have a way to rinse off boards and chairs before packing. In all, the place was perfect for our last relaxing vacation of the summer. I do look forward to staying with them again in the future.
Staff was friendly and the room was as described or better. Keep in mind this is an older facility, however appears to be maintained and upgraded much nicer than others in the area I have stayed at recently. I would definitely stay again.
Older cottages but clean, quiet, and safe!
We were texted our door code since the office was closed when we arrived. Instructions were left on the table for us. Our dogs were able to join us, which was so nice! The room
Had a broom and a vacuum for the sand.
Book and beach access were awesome amenities!

Just expected a little more for the money. But that's the beach and why I only stayed one night. Check ins are late check out is early should have just stayed in the car beds are horrible wife sleep on the coach.
Really nice place. Biggest complaint is the cabin we stayed in had a tiny kitchen but had about everything you need and was able to cook in a couple of nights. Place was clean and the full porch on the front was great to sit on.
We took a quick 2 night vacation. It was me and my husband and our three little kids. The room was very clean. It was an easy check in and check out process. The pool was great! Our kids loved it. It has all types of chairs to choose from around the pool and a shaded area! The beach access was so nice. I will be booking another family vacation here!
The property was in a very convenient location. Pool was nice! Steps to get up to the beach were great but could use something to cover the hot sand on the hill down. Not much as far as kitchen supplies but had what we needed. Could use upkeep on the inside. Somethings just needed some TLC. Overall it was a great vacation and I would consider going back again.
Overall good experience. Room was small, shower was tiny. Bathroom stayed very moist with what looked like water stains or mold on the bathroom door and floor. Place is old and could use some updating but overall worth the price. The beach access was perfect and the staff was friendly.
Great property the only thing I would change put curtains on door outside string lights do shine pretty bright thru glass in door. We put a towel over but everything else was great.
Great place with great beach access! Was very clean and comfortable. Only downside was the pool was shut down during our stay and we could hear the upstairs neighbors very loudly, a kid running around constantly. It was great to have a kitchenette with a big fridge! Front desk staff was very friendly!
