  • I love the Sands
    By A Yahoo! Contributor, 09/28/09
    This is a motel for those who love old things. It is like stepping back to the 1950's with it's pink tiled bathrooms and wood paneling. The best thing about it is they allow pets and are very sweet and tolerant of dogs. The beach is just behind the hotel and it is pristine and uncrowded. They have the nicest staff at the beach. And if ...

  • For The Price, I Can't Complain
    By A Yahoo! Contributor, 09/15/08
    It was the cheapest place we could find and it wasn't so bad. The water did smell (like rust,) the rooms had an odor (of smoke) but you can bring your pets and they are really cheap. The staff there was SO nice and I loved going in to see their cats. I would recommend the place if you'r not looking for anything fancy, just a place to sleep.

  • Flea Bag
    By Kelli K, 08/28/08
    There was no maid service half the time we were there. Our room had fleas. It is a dump. I would never recommend it.

  • NEVER AGAIN
    By Maria, 07/14/08
    Never again. This place is a dump! The water is horrible, the beds, sheets and even the pool was FULL of sand. No wonder this place is called "The Sands". The rooms are very musky. I should have done my research before spending the money at this place.

  • Peace
    By WmM, 03/19/08
    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 Sure, it is old, and out of date.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. ...

  • Don't stay here-it's a dump!
    By Shelly, 06/28/07
    We just got back from a week in this dump. As soon as we arrived, we went to our room and discovered that the door lock was broken. I told my husband to go ask them to move us to another room. For some reason, that wasn't an option. It took 4 hours for someone to come and repair the door lock. In the meantime, we were trapped and ...

  • Stinky
    By A Yahoo! Contributor, 08/13/06
    There are no "non-smoking" rooms so they all stink no matter how much "Nutra-Air" is sprayed. The water smells terrible because of old pipes; you feel cleaner coming out of the ocean than taking a shower there. No way you'd rinse your mouth after brushing or drink the water. Door handles falling off, lock didn't work, ...

  • A Slice of Americana by the Sea
    By A Yahoo! Contributor, 04/28/06
    The Sands Motel in Fenwick Island DE is reminiscent of a motel from the 1950s. While in its' faded glory, it is lovingly maintained and immaculate. Two floors of rooms, oceanside, look out on a pool and Bar-b-que grill (available to guests). Washer and Dryer are available to guests as well. Individual rooms are small, but have a refrigerator ...
