The efficiency room was very clean. The two fullsize beds were comfortable. Room could use some updating. Bathroom was small. Could’ve used some shelves to put toiletries on. Loved the dog bathing station outside. Came in handy after taking our dogto the beach. Parking spaces were a little tight. Staff was friendly and helpful!

My family and I had a great time!! The staff is more than polite and helpful and very accommodating. The grills are easily accessible and easy to use. There’s different games down by the pool that my family and I loved. We will be back!

Our family loved our time at Sandbox. They are conveniently located near a liquor store, a supermarket and pharmacy all either a few steps away or on the next block. They are very dog friendly and they even gave us dog items to use for our guy. The pool was a fun area with lots of activities to spend time on and life vest for kids to use. Overall it was a very pleasant stay and we would return in the future!
