Sandbridge Reality and Bay Treasure Beach House
Before booking Bay Treasure through Sandbridge Reality I read as many reviews as I could find resulting in a conclusion of mixed feelings. Now, after our visit I’m hopefully this review will help others in their decision. I think it is important to remember that Sandbridge is the middle man in the rental process. Maintenance and upkeep of the property is the owners responsibility, therefore I suggest visiting the property before signing an agreement to see for yourself if the property is suitable for you. Just like your hometown, property owners have varying degrees of upkeep. I found Bay Treasure to be clean on the inside (contracted by Sandbridge) however the outside needs to be powerwashed, and windows cleaned. If you see bugs on the outside….wait till evening. With the lights on they swarm, don’t worry during the day they go away. Bring your own outdoor chairs as the ones on the property are dirty or broken. The indoor pool was great, and clean. The house was designed for large gatherings, with 10 bedrooms and 7 ½ baths. The bedrooms are located in a way that activity in the house did not hamper privacy or a good night’s sleep. The oven, and third floor entertainment center need to be replaced, although neither interfered in our stay. Upon arrival the wireless internet did not work but after a call to Sandbridge, within a short time the cable co had it corrected. The bath light in the pool building was shorting, after an e-mail to Sandbridge a repairman was dispatched and fixture replaced the same day without anyone even knowing it had been done. From my first contact with Sandbridge to my dropping off the keys, I found them to be attentive and pleasant. Every e-mail was responded to, as was every phone call. I have nothing bad to say about them. Everyone in our group loved the house. It should be cleaned on the outside and old appliances should be replaced. I also personally made a 600 mile round trip to see the house in person to make this call. In a couple of words, It’s a rental. Oh by the way, we had an excellent time. Hope this helps.
