    I had an amazing experience at Rio Sands Vacation Rentals! The location was perfect, just a short walk to the beautiful beach. Our room was exceptionally clean and comfortable, featuring a kitchenette with all the essentials and a cozy living area that made us feel right at home. The outdoor patio was a lovely bonus for enjoying the fresh ocean air.

    outdoor patio
    beach décor
    clean common areas
    limited seating

    The easy access to the lovely outdoor patio was delightful, and the bright beach décor brought a cheerful charm to our stay. The clean and inviting common areas really made it easier to socialize and relax.

    More seating options in common areas would help.

    variety breakfast
    comfortable pool
    great bed
    noisy children

    I had such a great time during my recent stay! The breakfast spread was fantastic, especially the variety of fresh fruits and the waffle station. The pool area was well-maintained and a lovely spot to relax after a beach day. Plus, the Tempurpedic bed? So comfortable! I'd definitely return!

    beach access
    great breakfast
    friendly staff
    limited parking

    Loved the beach access and enjoyed walking to nearby shops and the museum. The pool and hot tub were perfect for relaxing after a day out. The breakfast had great options but be prepared for a wait if you arrive early.

    We faced a bit of a challenge with parking. there was only one spot per room which made things tricky at times.

    spacious room
    plenty of pillows
    inconvenient ice machine
    lack of elevator
    inadequate housekeeping

    The spacious room included a balcony, a large refrigerator, and an abundance of fluffy pillows, making it quite comfortable. The outdoor hot tub was a nice touch, and the breakfast of waffles and coffee was enjoyable. However, the ice machine was inconveniently located, and the lack of an elevator added to the hassle of unpacking. Additionally, it would benefit from better overall housekeeping, as requests for cleaning were not adequately met.

    heated pool
    bbq area

    Perfect for families with kids

    Stayed in a King Suite. The kids loved the heated pool and the BBQ area where we grilled some burgers while watching them splash around.

    A bit pricey but worth it for the memories.

    delicious breakfast
    updated rooms
    lack of kids' activities

    I loved the updated rooms at this place. The easy access to the beach was a huge plus for my family and dad. The breakfast was a delightful treat every morning, offering a range of options that everyone enjoyed.

    My kids wished there was a playground or some outdoor activities for them nearby.

    The location is fantastic, just a few minutes from the beach. The room was spacious, clean, and had a mini fridge and microwave. The outdoor patio was perfect for relaxing. Breakfast options were convenient, even during the weekdays. I recommend this spot for a family getaway! 🌊
