Terrific Beach House!
We stayed for the week with our 2 grown children, their spouses, and their babies. This home was walking distance to the community pool which was perfect for the babies, as it has an area for them to sit and splash in the water. The beach was only a few minutes car ride, which was very nice. Overall, we loved the townhouse. It was clean and a perfect space for our family. We’ll definitely be back!

Amazing Vacation
Overall would 10/10 recommend. The family loved the pool and location, including the near by skate park. The dogs loved it and were super happy to join us on vacation vs staying at a kennel. Very spacious and well equipped condo. The oven needs to be cleaned because when you use it, it sets off the smoke detector, but other than that small issue, it was perfect. We would 100% book again. THANKS

Fantastic Rental
This was by far the best trip to OBX. I hate doing business with rental companies who have outdated pictures and filthy places. This was our first time trying VRBO in OBX and this was definitely the best way to go. The townhouse was laid out well. The little kids enjoyed the sturdy bunk bed, my husband & I slept down the hall in the other bedroom on the 2nd floor. The older kids shared the bedroom on the 4th floor. It was perfect because we got up at the crack of dawn and the older kids could sleep in. I was pleasantly surprised at the full size capacity washer/dryer. The kitchen was stocked well with dishes, pots, pans, utensils. I intentionally didn't do much cooking this trip, but if you do plan on cooking, bring a proper knife to chop with. The knives there are very dull. Also, there isn't a pantry available for use. The cabinets are very stocked with dishes, etc so we ended up putting most of the pantry items on the counters. The outdoor furniture was great and both patios were used daily. The pool complex is literally out the back door. Just cross the parking lot and you're there. This was extremely convenient that we didn't have to load everyone and everything into the car. We just grabbed our pool toys and off we went. I highly recommend this rental for anyone with small children. There is also one toilet seat that converted to a potty seat. Also, good size dog bowls for my Golden Retriever. Lots of places to walk the dog as well. We had a great time!

Tremendous townhouse in a great location!
Tremendous townhouse in a great location; perfectly set up for kiddos. The property itself is a 4-level TH. Bedrooms were configurable for our little ones, 2 and 4. Our 5 nights off-season (highly recommended) were made even easier by the on-premises pool/splash pad for kiddos of all ages, for when the beach wasn't an option. Pretty much next door to the Wright memorial, and a short kid-friendly walk to a wooden pier. TH is aimed at guests with dogs (hence, Sandy Paws). We started looking for a spot in OBX some time ago. My dog passed away between booking and our trip, but she'd have loved it, as I'm sure any pup would. This is THE place to book for pups, and still quite nice without pets. Included beach cart came in handy several times :) Thank you Matt and family!

Great Location and Property
We've been going to the OBX for over 30 years and our parents have lived down there since 1991. We've stayed at many places and have to say that Sandy Paws is at the top. We have two dogs and the owner thought of everything for them - even treats! The place was VERY clean, beds were comfortable, kitchen had all that is needed and the location was perfect. There are multiple public beach accesses with plenty of parking. They provide a beach cart and even some beach chairs - it was perfect! The owner is extremely responsive and so easy to work with. We will definitely be staying at Sandy Paws again!!

Great location!
Overall a great stay, house is nicely decorated and had the little things needed for a week stay like extra pillows, blankets, hair dryer, nice coffee pot, wagon for beach, beach chairs, games for rainy days! The water park was a Big hit w my grandchildren, were there every day the sun was out! The pool area had tables, umbrellas, lounge chairs, and limited drinks/ice cream choices which were great! Only downside was the multiple levels inside the home, I forgot what townhome living was like!! Overall still a great place to stay!

Beautiful rental in an excellent location
This home is beautifully decorated and maintained. I chose this rental because it was dog friendly and I liked the mini water park for my family. I have been wanting to stay in this neighborhood for a while, and it did not disappoint! The other renters we encountered were all very friendly, and many were there with kids, so my daughter enjoyed herself more on this trip than in our 7 previous trips to the OBX. This home is as close as you can get to the water park, and the pool is clean with plenty of seating. Very easy check-in process at the home and at the pool. The owners of this property added a lot of special touches that we appreciated - dog biscuits for our furry family members, a binder with local recommendations, and a welcome bag with dish soap, etc. Parking is a bit tight/tricky on this street, but it’s doable and worth it to have the opportunity to stay in this home. The only drawback is that I didn’t think the cleaners did the best job - there were several spots that were dusty or not wiped down really well - but it was otherwise clean, and I wish we had been provided with more towels since sometimes the towels weren’t dry by the time we’d need to shower again. Overall, this is one of my favorite rentals and we hope to be fortunate enough to stay here again. Thank you, Matt and family!

Nice property but beware of no basic items
The property is lovely, pet friendly and in a good location. The owner was kind enough to leave dog biscuits and answered all of our texts/emails quickly. He has no restriction on the type of dog. I limited the overall rating to 3 stars because there are no basic items, like sugar, salt & pepper or any other spices. No oil, aluminum foil, wraps, etc. There were no bars of soap or any shampoo (even travel sizes) in any bathrooms. I understand that the owner did not include these items in the listing; however, we have stayed at many rental properties that have these basic things. Maybe, it's because this was a new listing and the owner is not quite up to speed on what guests need. We brought our food to cook meals together, but had to go to the store for items like salt & pepper (which we left for the next guests). The owner provided only 1 bath towel for each guest, only 1 box of tissues for the entire property, only 1 full roll of toilet paper in each bathroom for 4 guests for 3 nights, (he did drop off a package of TP after our request) and just 2 dishwasher tabs (again, 4 guests for 3 nights). I was told that coffee and creamer are provided; however, there was not enough coffee for 4 guests for 3 mornings. Finally, inappropriately, the "linen guy" rang the bell while we were there to provide linens for the next guests, but during OUR vacation. If on the 4th floor, it's 2 flights down to answer the door and 2 back up. In summary, if you are staying at this property, it is nice, but you need to bring everything with you or go shopping when you get there.

My wife, I, and our dog just spent four days at Sandy Paws in OBX and it was great! Three bedrooms-each with its own bath, plus a half bath off the kitchen. Kitchen loaded with glassware, plates, etc...Great location, centrally located to all the Outer Banks has to offer! Beach access directly down the road. Pool and water park were not open when we were there, but I'm sure that would be great for kids (ours are grown). Host was great with communication and access was quick and easy. One of the beach bikes is on the smaller side and wouldn't work for my wife (5'10"). Lovely place with two decks for afternoon sun--would definitely stay again!
