Amazing Property
Sandy Bottoms was wonderful. We loved the house and the pool. The beds were very comfortable, and having dark curtains in the master was appreciated to block out the early morning sun. Lots of pots, pans, utensils, dishes, and storage containers in the kitchen were appreciated. House was very clean, and lots of room for everyone. Loved our stay!

Loved this house. The beds were super comfortable, the pool was amazing, and it was nice to have dark curtains in the bedroom to block out the early morning light. Thank you for our stay!
