Ladies get away evening using a Groupon for Sandaway. We had a wonderful room in the older part of the property. Had to use the step stool to get into the very comfy bed. Lovely view out over the water and watched a storm come across. Didn't use the very pretty, deep, claw foot bath tub under the crystal fixture... More

My husband surprised with a stay here for my birthday weekend. Was disappointed when we checked in and learned we did not have a waterfront room. Turns out, there was no need for concern. The property is so amazing and inviting, we were always down in the adirondack chairs by the water. The grounds and views are just stunning. I... More

We recently stayed in a Sandaway Waterfront Room. It looked directly out into the bay and was very relaxing. Coffee and snacks were delivered in the morning to get started and there was a screened in porch for sitting and watching the world go by. It did rain for two days but was still very enjoyable. There were several good... More

Location is the best thing about this property, and that is outstanding. Beyond that, average is the best adjective. Greeting was monotone. Ants in the bathroom. Décor in need of a facelift. A real disappointment at this price point...

Disappointing reviews are really uncommon here at Sandaway. I am very sorry we did not meet your expectations. Ants should never be in your room, but this strange spring weather unfortunately caused an issue for you. Please notify management immediately at any hotel if such an issue should occur in the future. It is a good idea to do this,... More

My husband and I enjoyed a cozy room with a love seat looking out over the water. There could not be a more relaxing atmosphere. Delicious pastries delivered to our door in the mornings. We will definitely come back when we come this way again.

We just returned from the most peaceful place in the state of Maryland and we have lived in the state for over 70 years.

Thank you for letting others know how peaceful Sandaway can be. It was nice to have you all in Oxford. We are glad you plan to come back and stay. The Queen Waterfront rooms do have some of the best views from their private screened porches. Next time you may like to try the Beach View King & Porch rooms.... More

We stayed in room 101. Room was small but was fine for us as the weather was beutiful and spent time relaxing in the sun. Location is amazing! Will return in the future maybe to a larger room. They provide a basket of goodies deliver to your door for breakfast . Thought the mattress on bed to be very nice
