Dates: 22 to 25 May 2026Our group consisted of 5 adults and 2 children. We loved the 1st floor’s layout. One perk was the available dedicated parking, including a 2-car sized garage. We loved the convenience of a patio, pool, plus private walkway (with fresh water for rinsing sand off) to the beach. The larger of the 2 master bedrooms became a favorite since it had a sliding glass door for viewing of the beach. Another great perk is that we truly didn’t need to bring anything (just as the property description stated). The restaurant recommendations from our Host, right down to the breakfast tacos at the nearby convenience store, were also excellent. Our personal favorite was Nauticos. However, we can honestly say that we enjoyed all the recommended restaurants that we tried.Kudos to Bill, our Host. Bill was very responsive to our questions before and throughout our stay. In our experience, while most hosts have been professional and responsive, our own personal impressions were that Bill went above and beyond, and therefore we would classify him as being a step higher than the usual “good” VRBO hosts. We truly appreciated this.In summary, the Sandpiper House is an excellent choice for a peaceful break away from daily life. The only down side of staying at the Sandpiper House is that now our standard, for vacation rental properties, will be higher than it ever was before. Thank you for helping to make our vacation stay so enjoyable and memorable.

Beautiful property. Loved enjoying the pool with the view and sounds of the waves. Host is responsive and thoughtful (we had NO issues during our stay). Will definitely return!

Our stay at the Sandpiper House truly exceeded our expectations! The location was perfect; the photos are completely accurate, and the views are even better in person. The home was spotless, thoughtfully stocked with daily essentials—more so than any place we’ve stayed before—and the beds were comfortable. The bunk room was a little snug for four teenagers, but we made it work.Our group included two families of four (with teenagers) along with a set of grandparents, and the layout and location were perfect for everyone. Having a private boardwalk for direct beach access was an absolute dream. The pool, hot tub, and sundeck were huge hits with our group, and the teenagers especially loved the easy access to the ocean and waves.Billy was a fantastic host—he checked in on our first day to make sure we were settled and was always easy to reach when questions came up. We truly appreciated all of his recommendations, and he went above and beyond to ensure we had an enjoyable stay. This was our first vacation to SPI and I can say Billy and The Sandpiper set the bar very high!
