“We just returned from a week at Sandy Beach Retreat on Big Spirit Lake. The people at Okoboji Vacation Company were polite, friendly, and helpful throughout our reservation process. Check in/check out was effortless and the easiest we've ever experienced. We had ten adults and four children and we had plenty of space. The property was clean and exremely well stocked. We had a few hours of rain a couple of days but there was plenty of indoor space for games, ping pong, reading, and conversation. We enjoyed kayaking, canoeing, boating, tubing, floating, and fishing off the dock. We enjoyed the great dock, deck, and fire ring. We're making reservations for Sandy Beach Retreat through Okoboji Vacation Company for summer of 2026! This is a perfect lake retreat!”

“I’d stay here again for sure if I had to stay in this area. Staff is awesome, location is on the quiet side of town by the Walmart, and the rooms are nice. If you have kids, this is the place to stay.”
“Had a slight problem with the A/C icing up on a really hot humid day. We called and they were at our cabin in five minutes to get it fixed. Friendly people and a fun place to stay.”
“Overall, the place is great and very affordable. We stayed in a two bedroom with a kitchenette and were very pleased. There is a living room with a couch, chair, and dining table, along with a full sized fridge and freezer that were very clean on the inside.
You are provided with all the dishes, silverware, and cups, but if you use them, you do need to wash them. The smoke detector was hanging loose. I am assuming it works, but I did not test it. There were also plenty of outlets, along with extra towels in the rooms and an extra blanket and pillow in the drawers under the TV.
Overall the days we stayed were great with no issues. We would stay again, as we love having two rooms.”
