Peace
We love the Sands. Sure, it is old, and out of date. Sure, there is no hot tub, or bar, or latte. Sure, everything seems a bit rickety.
But our dog is a cripple. Had a stroke from Lymes disease. We can go to the Sands, have a great vacation, and be happy in a joint you just sleep in. The staff (especially Mary) is wonderful. Dogs are welcome. Daisy loves the beach, and it is a peaceful beach there, as opposed to the fun & bustle down at OC.
I love it all, but the Sands is great for us. We'll go back in four weeks
