The room was great and could still accommodate our big family of mostly small children, one service dog, and our pet dog. It was a wonderful place for our family with the beach right there, and we could even see the fireworks right from our private beach at the hotel for the 4th of July. !!!!! We had a great time !!!!
Rooms: The room is like a studio apartment with a kitchenette we had 2 queen beds, kitchen table and a shower bathroom. Very clean and has great views right from your bed. There is a deck over looking the sand and beach with a table and chairs.
Nearby activities: Very close to province town I would suggest taking a bus or shuttle into town rather than driving only because of the lack of cheap parking but other wise well worth the cost if you had to pay to park. There are so many shops and restaurants, the warf, pilgrims tower, and so many beaches.
Walkability: It is a good walk if you want to walk to the province town. Maybe even renting a bike or e bike would make it so much more doable.

We had a lovely 4 day stay in Unit 16. The unit was very clean and Dove products were supplied in the 2 bathrooms.
A couple of suggestions though. The sleeper sofa mattress was horrible!!! Very thin and the supports underneath can be felt. It needs to be upgraded! There is no way 1 or 2 adults could sleep comfortably there.
Secondly, blinds or room darkening shades are needed in the front of the unit parking lot side. Lights from the street shine in windows making it difficult to sleep on the couch there. The sun comes up early in summer, too.
We would consider staying there again if these improvements were made.
Food & drinks: convenient to good restaurants and fun activities.

Very nice and quaint area. Beautiful property right on the beach.

Me and my family used to stay here all the time and have been going for over 20 years, and typically it is a great place to stay, but our experience last year was not good. First of all they completely got rid of the front desk worker (which we didn’t know) and now you have to do everything through a remote company including payment over the phone, which is very inconvenient. Also, when we “checked in” (in quotations because there is no front desk to check into), our room was a mess and there was no housekeeper on the property. We had to make so many phone calls to the remote managers just to get somebody to clean our room when it should have been done at check-in time. It was honestly such a mess, thankfully we got some reimbursement. For an expensive stay I wouldn’t have expected such a bad experience. On a positive note once the room was finally cleaned there was no problems, and the inn is right on the beach and has awesome views. I haven’t been there recently but if it’s the same way now as it was when we stayed, we won’t be back.

Great view from our room. The interior appointments were good, but lacked some minor details like kitchen equipment, and laundry bags.
Overall we were very pleased. Would definitely come back

I went labor Day weekend last year and everything was great, our room had a porch with a seaview and you could just step onto the beach.
We liked it so much we decided to return.
Unfortunately within the last year it's been taken over by Vacasa, a kind of Airbnb.
When we booked in May the photos showed exactly the same type of room/porch as previously stayed in, so we booked.
When we arrived, we made our way to our room (no.8) we immediately realised it wasn't the room we booked as it was on the side of the building. We entered the 10 digit (yes 10 digit!!) room key code and entered the room. Now apart from not having the seaview, the room had no wardrobe, just wall coat rack with no hangers, no table and chairs, so if you wanted to sit it had to be on the bed, it also has torn drapes and dirty carpets as well as only on bedside table. When we opened the solid porch door we found an awful 4x4 patio at the side of the building, right in the middle of a thoughrofare and no sea view.
We were upset and annoyed, especially as we'd spent so much money ($600 a night) we went on the vacasa website to find the photos had been changed and now depicted the correct photos of room no. 8. We rang Vacasa, as there is no reception or manager on site to complain. But we didn't get very far unfortunately, although they did say that our room wasn't usually rented out. There were no other rooms available as it was labor day weekend, eventually they gave us a $120 refund (we're not really sure where that figure came from).
We eventually decided to just get on with our weekend but it really did spoil it.
My advice is to just avoid sandbars Inn. Or if you go avoid room no. 8.

Had a similar experience to the reviewer Mark - cold showers, various things broken, no coffee, no parking when we came back one evening. The off-site management seemed to care less about problems that could have been resolved easily if someone had been there in person. It was such a disappointment because the spot is so beautiful and you pay a hefty price for it.

Such a disappointment! We booked them based on the photos of sliding doors opening to a patio on the beach. What we got was Unit 8, which is an offset unit that is in front of the building. The patio we got opens to the side of the building along the neighboring properties fence. A tiny slice of ocean view can be seen, but you have to bear looking at the outdoor showers while doing so.
The unit has one small window which we cannot even open, if we wanted privacy, as the stairs from the second floor units is about 4 feet from it. Some view!
Honestly, we drove 6 hours to get there and if we were not so tired, we would have gone up and left! Instead we were forced to pay for the night.
You can tell there have been problems with this unit before as we barely had to ask for a refund of the other 4 days we wanted to stay. As polite as the staff has been (Jocy and Jasmin) , it was not worth to pay over $400 for what essentially is a dark box, an evening full of aggravation and a ruined vacation. We really feel we have an argument to get a full refund even on the night we stayed as it was a total BAIT AND SWITCH, but we did stay.
And as an additional tip, if you happen to have people above you who like to pace around at night, you cannot just hear it but actually feel the vibration of their steps as well. Our upstairs neighbor finally quit pacing about when my husband finally yelled from our bed for them to please stop after midnight.

I’m updating my review as the management corrected the situation and issued a full refund to make up for the error. We loved the location and the unit was clean and in a great location. Beautiful water view and close to many local attractions. I just wish they had an in person manager to deal with these sorts of issues rather than having to go through a call center.

Located right on the bay beach. Nice, small private beach. They have chairs, lounges, tables with umbrellas, fire pit, and two grills, all out on the beach, which is literally right outside the rear of the inn.
Our clean and fresh double queen room had a kitchen with stove, microwave, kitchen sink, full size fridge, and everything needed for cooking and eating (pots, pans, utensils, plates, bowls, cups, etc.)
We were on the second floor and the view from our balcony was fantastic. Each balcony has a table and two chairs.
And the staff is super friendly and helpful!

The customer service on the phone was exceptional but the service when we arrived was even better!
My wife and I were celebrating an early 13th wedding anniversary and I requested for flower pedals and champagne in the room which came out beautifully. We also checked in a little early and we're able to enjoy the beach until the room was ready.
It's also a very quick drive to Provincetown which is super convenient. We can't wait to come back with our kids

With wonderfully updated and very clean rooms, we had a gorgeous view from our 2nd floor room. Trex furnishings outdoors and the beach fire pit were great touches that make this feel like an upscale hotel. Convenient to P-town as well as Wellfleet. Beach had a lot of seaweed and I don’t think many people were swimming, but the sunset view is hard to beat. Friendly and very helpful staff.

Just got home from a three night stay and couldn’t be happier with the whole experience. Walked off our balcony onto the private beach where we walked the beach for hours, beautiful sunsets, seals, shells and sea glass. Close drive into PTown. Lots of choices for great restaurants and shops. The customer service was outstanding. The fire pit was a lovely touch, even just to watch from the balcony. Kitchenette was a savior and we cooked lobsters from the stop and shop a few minutes away and ate them on the balcony while watching the sunset. Couldn’t say enough wonderful things about our stay.

We just stayed at Sandsbar Inn for a few days and had the best time! The location and accommodations were perfect for our family. Rooms were clean and service was friendly.
