We had a group of 11 (6 adults and 5 teenagers) and we all thought it was a beautiful house. It was nicely furnished, clean, the pool area was great, the sleeping areas worked well for our family. It was a short walk to the beach and having the foot wash and outdoor shower to clean off after was welcome to avoid bringing sand in. I also thought the location was great. The little market at the end of the road was great to grab a few items as needed and they have really good donuts. It is close enough to shopping, restaurants and activities but far enough from the crowds. Highly recommend and if we head back to the Sand bridge area would rent here again.

Wonderful Family Getaway

We had a wonderful stay at Paws & Relax in August 2024. The property and home was even better than we expected! Pictures do not do it justice. The property was very large and private. The rooms were very spacious, clean, and comfortable. The pool was excellent! Loved the lounge chairs on the patio. The back yard access to the beach path was perfect. The house had everything we needed. We didn't need to bring so many pool and beach toys because there were plenty there! We had such an enjoyable stay and would definitely consider staying at Paws & Relax again!

Perfect Sandbridge stay

Our stay at Paws and Relax really exceeded our expectations. I was looking for a place that would accommodate not only our grown children (no grandkids yet) and our all important golden retriever. The house was the perfect size for us and three adult kids. It was clean and very thoughtfully designed and decorated. It was very convenient to the beach and we loved the pool. We will definitely be back next year!

Perfect beach house!

We were so impressed with the upgrades and how clean the house was when we arrived! The pool and outdoor area was perfect for our family and our dog! The bedrooms were very spacious and the TVs were a bonus. We will definitely stay here again.

Fabulous week!!

Well equipped kitchen, game closet, book shelves and beach equipment!! So close to a perfect family beach with good waves for the older kids and tide pools for the little ones. Bedrooms are very private allowing each family flexibility in bed times and wake up times. Out door space was huge and pool was great fun. Dog friendly. Very clean. We’ll be back!

Stay 2023 summer

This was the perfect house. The kitchen was so well stocked, the house was super clean and we had a wonderful time! The only suggestion is that maybe in the Amex room downstairs - another couch. It was a rainy week and we were a bit on top of each other in the living room. I would highly recommend this house to anyone!
