However; then I get an email saying I really rented from Cobb which required a ton of paperwork and additional fees. ##### Janie B.

Nov 7, 2017 #### Great House, Bare Necessities Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Checkin was easy. House was clean but had a slight smell of mildew upon arrival. Opened the windows for a bit and it was all gone in no time. We noticed some items in the house seemed to be "glued back together" as a temporary fix - not sure if this was from management or previous renters.IMPORTANT: Basic necessities are NOT included such as toilet paper, hand soap, etc... This is not mentioned anywhere on VRBO but I was told it is mentioned somewhere on management's business website... ##### Tony N.

Jun 18, 2020 #### Good Visit During the Pandemic Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: First all the house is in a great location, close to the beach, walking distance. The house was stocked with everything we needed and enough space. It was nice and the porch outside was great for eating and enjoying the ocean. The part that we probably didn't like much and wish was mentioned prior to coming was you do not have access to 2nd floor of the house. It was never mentioned when we picked up the keys either and got all of the instructions. I think it's fine to not have access but at least communicate this. Then when we got there we had to place the sheets on the bed ourselves, kind of frustrating when you pay cleaning fees and arrive to the house and have to make your own bed before you even sleep in it. Another thing there was barely any soap left in the dispenser but they sure make sure to put the name of the house on it so you don't take it but don't take the time to refill it before the next guest arrive and the same goes for the toilet paper. Maybe they don't stock the toilet paper because when we arrived there was maybe 1/4 a roll left in both bathrooms when I felt there should have been full rolls left for our 6 day stay. We ran out by the next day and had to go buy some. If they don't stock it then again that should be communicated prior to arriving. Other than that we were able to cook and sleep well and enjoy the beach. ##### Lindsey J.

Nov 29, 2022 #### Our favorite yearly beach house destination Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This was our 4th year to stay at Abby Sands. We love this house. It has everything we need. The location is quiet and has a beautiful view with a close walk to the beach. The closed in deck is perfect for our pet. We have made many cherished memories here. We are very appreciative to the owner who lets others share their home.The only thing that would push it over the top is the addition of a lift in order to get supplies, luggage and groceries up. Just not getting any younger and it's exhausting making multiple trips. ##### Kim S. This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Randi F.

The location is awesome with great views. Too much sun one day, chill on the balcony with shade and you won't feel like you are missing out with the great views. The only thing I would mention is you need to bring toilet paper, paper towels and trash bags. Other than that it was great! ##### Randi B.
