Lucinda is a great host and her place is wonderful . Very eclectic, and fun place to stay, with everything you will need for your beach vacation, and located close to the beach, and walking distance to restaurants. She was so thoughtful, and left us some goodies, and even half and half for my coffee! The property is wonderful, and has sand sculptures outside the front door. We really enjoyed sitting on the front and back patios! A great place to stay!

Sandbox Inn was just as described and true to the pictures! Very fun and eccentric decor. Lucinda literally had everything you could think as far as utensils and kitchen appliances which was really helpful. Literally a 3 minute walk from the beach which is so convenient! Very clean and welcoming place with plenty of room. It fit very comfortably 6 Adults 2 small children and 2 dogs. Had an amazing time and am looking forward to future visits. Thanks!

Fun, unique beach house and great for groups! Lucinda's home is full of unique style and touches. The open layout with plenty of sleeping space makes this a fantastic place for a group (we were 6 and had plenty of space!). We enjoyed playing pool and guitar as well. Furthermore, Lucinda was very kind and also very thorough and quick in all of her communication. Warm host, great, unique place - I highly recommend the SandBox Inn!
