Ocean Sands Resort, Oceanfront, Virginia Beach by Vacatia

6/10 Okay
"The location was beautiful. The room however leaves much to be desired. Had to have the maintenance guy on retainer. The DW needed repair, the jacuzzi was broken . The toaster started to smoke. The furniture needs to be updated. The balcony door needed some WD40. Everything needs an update especially for a timeshare."
