About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

The sand and surf are never far from this beach house!

Unit 28 Lot 27. Spectacular white-water views can be enjoyed from this beautiful meadow home with large wrap-around deck. Just a 2-minute walk to the bluff trails and a few steps more to Walk-On beach. The sand and surf are never far from this comfy little beach house we call “Sandbox 3”.

The kitchen, dining room, living room and breakfast nook of Sandbox 3 are all open to each other to create one large living space. After sunset, relax on the sofa in the living room and watch the stars through the skylight or watch your favorite shows on the 55” TV.

Amazing white-water views accompany you while you cook in the kitchen or dining room. Take advantage of the BBQ and enjoy sitting at outdoor table for 6 on the deck. After star gazing from the hot tub and it's time to head indoors you can find tranquility in front of the living room fireplace with a book or re-energize with family game time.

This 2-bedroom, 2.5-bathroom home sleeps 6. The Queen primary bedroom has a fireplace and stunning white-water surf that can be seen while relaxing in bed or from the master bath. The second bedroom is a Queen suite with an added futon that has its own full bathroom with tub and shower. If sharing rooms isn’t to your liking, then guests (especially teenagers) will love the loft where there is a full-size pull-out sofa bed and 1 single bed disguised as an easy folding sofa.

After a long day at the beach, entertaining or simply relaxing on the sprawling deck is your dream. Pour yourself a glass of wine and settle into the comfortable deck chairs and enjoy beautiful white-water views and views of the adjacent meadow teaming with wildlife. If you’re quiet, you may be lucky enough to spot deer grazing very close by from the Adirondack chairs and large outdoor sofa.

Electrical outlets are accessible in the car port, so bring your portable electric car charger if you own an EV to top off the battery for your drive home. We also have a Tesla charger for guests who own a Tesla.

Bed linens and towels are included in this beach house rental.

Beautiful house in a beautiful location the loft was perfect for the teenager and he spent 24 hours a day up there. I would like to see some kind of drapes or blinds for the living room. It gets so bright it's hard to stay in there.

The property was in an excellent location, steps away from the walking trails and the beaches. It had an unobstructed view of the ocean, very quiet cul-de-sac with very people walking by.

Hot Hot Hot!

The house was lovely to look at and in a great location but it was all spoiled by the extreme heat coming thru the living room windows. No blinds were available there and although the dining room had blinds the heat was so extreme coming into the living room that that room also remained hot and inhabitable from noon till 5 PM or so. It was a very nice and well decorated house otherwise but I would not recommend it unless maybe in the winter months.

Beautiful house with gorgeous view

We loved our stay at the Sand box. The house is dog friendly, not super large but beautifully designed so that all the spaces are very enjoyable. This house has has a great “vibe” with beautiful view and is close to the coastal trails and beaches. we highly recommend it!

Love Sandbox 3

This was our second stay at Sandbox 3. This time for an extended two weeks. The property was clean, comfortable and very well appointed. We felt very much at home. Besides our daily 7-8 mile hikes on the costal trails outside the door, we pretty much stayed in to enjoy the ocean view, wildlife passers-by and cozy evenings by the fire place. The kitchen had everything making meal prep easy. The areas for improvement are: provide a chest of drawers in the bedrooms so guests can unpack suitcases. We had to clear shelves in the laundry room and drawers in the bathrooms to store our clothes. The only place to hang clothes is in the guest bedroom which doesn’t work for the master. We did enjoy our stay and will rent again.

Better than the pictures

Our family of four went up for a week, and I cannot say enough about the house. The house is better than the (already great) pictures. The kitchen is well appointed, the beds were comfortable, the view is superb, and the location is ideal. Will definitely return to exactly this house when we return to sea ranch.
