Nice place. Needs some TLC
Huge home. Comfortably fit 12 adults. Pool was great. Hot tub was great. I do feel like it needs a little TLC. A couple of maintenance issues as well as an ant problem. We would stay here again

Thank you for the review, Matt! We put out ant traps and got a pest spray for the house so that should eliminate the ants! If we know specific maintenance items, we would be happy to fix those up! Feel free to call our office. We would be happy to have you back on your next trip to Pinehurst!

Dirty and broken
The photos make this property look much better than it really is. While the home is very large and spacious it was dirty and not completely functional. The sliding door leading to the pool was bungee corded together and did not lock. The bedrooms upstairs had many broken items. The wall sockets in the upstairs bedrooms did not work and we were unable to use bedside lights or charge our phones at night. The home needs a deep clean, especially in the kitchen and bathrooms. The hot tub (which we never used) smelled awful and was cloudy/sandy. The pool was nice, but also it didn’t feel very clean. When we arrived the dishwasher had been run but was not emptied and there was a bag of random laundry in the laundry room. For the amount of money we paid for our stay we were disappointed in the simple things like a clean kitchen and non functioning door locks and outlets.

Hello Michelle! Thank you for your feedback. The pool and hot tub get cleaned weekly. The pool vacuum that stays in the pool makes sure it can get cleaned daily for guests as well. We checked the home for those maintenance things and the door handle has been fixed! That dishwasher cycle takes multiple hours and it looks like someone was checking out right before you, so I think the dishwasher wouldn't have finished in time for us to unload it prior to check in. We apologize that wasn't communicated with you before. We appreciate your feedback and hope you still had a good stay despite those things!

I don’t like having to say this, this house was beautiful and in a great location but it was very dirty upon our arrival. The floors were gritty, the pool was filthy, there were cobwebs in multiple corners filled with bugs, plastic cups and trash all over the deck, ants all over the kitchen, a big vase of DEAD roses sitting on the coffee table in the living room, broken things here and there. I truly feel like the previous guests had some sort of party and the cleaning crew just did a terrible job or maybe they didn’t come at all. We tried to clean the pool and they ended up sending a pool guy out the next day to address some of the issues. I tried to contact multiple people, including the property manager with no response at all. I finally called one of the other women listed on the email and she answered and was extremely kind and helpful. She ended up sending the pool guy for us the next day and offered to send the cleaners by. But we are all adults and wanted a nice weekend away only to arrive at a house that was filthy and we honestly left it cleaner than when we found it. It was just disappointing.

Our stay
House fulfilled our needs and was a great location. We enjoyed sitting outside in the evening to enjoy the pool and lake backdrop. The garage door was broken so would not close 100%...these made us uncomfortable at night and while we were golfing during the day, but all ended well with no issues.

Upscale and Serene
Sandhills Rentals is a professional outfit, so everything is done by the book. Reservations, payments, check-in, check-out, communication, maintenance….. Everything was a breeze. The house is a dream. Spacious, modern, beautiful, comfortable, well-appointed, designed and furnished with taste. It felt secluded and private. It was very quiet. The neighborhood itself is super-upscale, with a great vibe. People were pleasant and welcoming. We are a family of 5 with young children. We were looking for a peaceful vacation away from it all, and we were not disappointed. My wife and I loved sitting outside after nightfall. I got out on the lake on one of the kayaks. The kids enjoyed the pool and huge TVs. We’re looking forward to coming back next summer for an even longer stay.

Lake front views were breathtaking
This is a very large home with plenty of room for adults and teens. We had two families and there was enough space for everyone to have their own spot. The lake provided beautiful views no matter the time of day. The kids enjoyed fishing in the lake and using the kayaks for afternoon adventures.

Perfect for large groups!
The house has a beautiful lake view. The sunsets were amazing. The house was perfect for our gathering. The rooms were large and the beds were plentiful. There is a small garage and short driveway, so parking was very tight. We enjoyed our stay!

Great house on the lake
The property is beautiful and very spacious, as the pictures of this place clearly demonstrate. Great place to have a gathering of family, which we did. The only negatives were the parking, which is very small given the large number of bedrooms for multiple occupants and that on-street parking is prohibited, and that there was no ironing board/iron (or we couldn't find them). We worked around both and if you only needed to park one car or two cars it would not be an issue. Overall the place was amazing, and we would stay there again.
