What a great place! Very casual and comfortable. The hosts Kathy and Bob are absolutely great. When we arrived Kathy showed us our room and then gave us a tour of the property, nice welcoming touch. We were in room 11 which had 2 queen beds separated from a sitting area and dining area. The unit had a full size... More

We stayed here for 1 night in November of 2010. There were 4 of us so we took one of the cottages. It had 2 bedrooms with a living room and a kitchen. It wasn't a Hilton resort but it certainly suited all of us. We wouldn't have minded staying longer if we had more time. We thought the area... More

Realize this is not a large, fancy hotel. It is in an older building. But that's part of its charm. The bathrooms and kitchette areas can... More

My fiance and I came down for a three day fishing trip unaware as where to stay. We found a motel up the road about 5 miles that was absolutely horrible! After calling a couple of places recommended by people who had previously stayed, we found the Sands. We were met by manager Kathy and her husband who were very... More
