Rooms
Sandbox Apartments boasts a visually appealing decor and offers stunning views, complemented by great amenities. Reviews highlight the spacious rooms that are very clean and well-equipped, ensuring convenience for guests.
However, several guests mentioned that the apartments could benefit from an update; issues like mildew on bathroom ceilings, as well as marked and dirty walls, have been noted. Some visitors found the beds slightly uncomfortable, while others faced problems with entrance accessibility and driveway directions. A few experienced minor issues with the air conditioning and the security of the main bedroom door and mentioned that the apartment wasn't ready upon their arrival.
Moreover, some units did not match the online photos, leading to disappointment among guests who ended up in basement rooms without adequate lighting or outdoor areas. While the location remains a strong point, many guests feel that the property needs significant maintenance and care.
Beds
Sandbox Apartments offers a mixed experience when it comes to bed comfort. While many guests found the beds comfortable with some even describing them as "sooo comfortable" along with great pillows, opinions vary. The beds in some units were noted to be quite comfy, adding to a relaxing stay. However, a number of guests found the mattresses too firm or hard with some mentioning springs coming through the mattress or describing the beds as uncomfortable and lumpy. Despite these concerns, the overall atmosphere of the apartments contributes to a pleasant coastal getaway.
Cleanliness
Sandbox Apartments faces mixed reviews regarding its cleanliness. While some guests have noted that their apartments were very clean, well-equipped and even spotless, others have unfortunately reported significant issues. Commonly mentioned problems include mould in the bathrooms, marked and dirty walls, dusty fans and floors that appeared not to have been mopped properly. Several guests had to clean areas such as the fridge before use and some pointed out the presence of spider webs and rubbish in drawers. Remarks also highlight that certain parts of the apartments had not been cleaned in a long time, particularly in the kitchen and bathroom areas.
