About this property

Affordable Luxury.
You're ON the Beach! Don't be fooled by listings that claim to be "Beach Houses" that are not sitting ON the Beach! Large enough for two families of 5-6 each, this home has become the most popular Vacation Rental on SPI.
Don't settle for something less. The only things between you and the incredible beach is the Private Pool, Hot Tub, BBQ and Patio. There is simply nothing closer to the waves than The Sandpiper House!
Four bedrooms. A King with it's own full bathroom. A Queen that shares it's full bathroom with a Bunk room with four heavy duty Bunk-beds. A Master that will blow you away. Floor to ceiling views of the Gulf, Private Balcony, Huge Closets, Huge Shower and Jetted Tub. The Sandpiper House has built an impeccable reputation of delivering more than expected. You will want for nothing. Bring your groceries and an appetite for adventure.
The home is kept in impeccable condition. Every linen is laundered between every guest. If you want one of the best locations on SPI, and a home in immaculate condition with all of the extras, this is it. Don't buy or bring paper products, dish soap, dishwasher soap, a sponge, disinfectant, dryer sheets, laundry soap, bleach, or even your first day's worth of coffee. Don't load up the car with a cooler, beach chairs, boogie boards or beach towels, everything is at The Sandpiper House waiting for you! We even have a Sandpiper House Treasure Chest with a few surprise goodies waiting for you! You'll have to book to see what's inside the Treasure Chest. If there is anything wrong that comes up during your stay, we'll do our best to make it right. We play by the rules, SPI Permit number 2023 0181.

Perfect stay!

Spacious home with just about everything you need for a relaxing beach stay. My 5 year old grandson loved the bunk bed, his 20 month old sister loved the stairs, their parents loved the amazing view from the master and grandmother loved the second master. Beds are very comfortable, house is very clean, the treasure chest is a warm welcoming. We all enjoyed the pool, hot tub, so very many beach toys, the easy walk to the beach and next door to Wanna Wanna. Communication was outstanding. Terrific location! We would love to come back.

Fantastic Location / Amazing Home

From the time we walked through the front door until we reluctantly left, we felt at home. The house was beautiful and laid out perfectly for a multi-generational family. The kids loved the bunkbed room & their parents had great access through the jack & jill bathroom. The master bedroom w/balcony was a perfect get away for us grandparents to have some quiet time while enjoying the ocean. And the bathrooms? Beautiful! The kitchen had everything we could have possibly wanted/needed. With small children having a private pool and hot tub was amazing and they loved playing with the toys included in the vast storage bin (beach toys as well). Sunrise walks on the beach were breathtaking & being so close meant we never missed a morning. And we can't say enough about our host. Issue with the coffee pot? A new one showed up the next day. Communication was fabulous and they were so kind. We will definitely be booking this house again.

Unlike the movies, we loved the sequel.

Our second stay at the Sandpiper did not disappoint. The house is great with lots of space for our group of eight to spread out. The proximity to the beach (out the door, past the pool and you are there) is what first drew us to this property and while that is one of the reasons we come back the other has become working with Billy the property owner. He is easy to work with and seems to really care that y ok have a great restful time at his property.

Relaxing!

Sandpiper House was exactly as described and had everything we needed for a memorable vacation. Fully stocked kitchen, towels, paper products, laundry, private pool and hot tub, and best of all, right on the beach! The home is well sound proofed, both for interior and exterior noise. The bunk bed room was perfect for our 3 kids and the grandparents enjoyed the large master and private balcony with an unobstructed view of the sunrise! Lots of family-friendly activities close by, including the sea turtle rescue, SPI Birding and Nature Center, and lovely boardwalks for nature strolls. Our 8-year-old was able to hold an alligator and be hugged by a ball python. We wouldn't hesitate to return to this perfect spot!

About the host

Hosted by Billy (William ) Hopkins

We are a family of Believers in Jesus Christ.We want you to feel special while staying in our home away from home. We feel blessed every time we step into the property. We traveled extensively and drew from many experiences when we put together the Sandpiper House. We want you to feel like you received MORE than you expected. We are never more than a phone call or text away. We are extremely grateful for your patronage. We know there a plenty of places to stay, but very few will deliver the same thoughtful experience that The Sandpiper House will.

Why they chose this property

1. Location. SO many others talk about proximity to and views of the beach. Our home is priced so that families can afford the luxury of being ON the beach. No starting your days with looking for parking, packing everything up and lugging it to the beach. Walk out the sliding doors from the living room and you're there.
2. Cleanliness. We launder everything in between guests down to the mattress covers. We take it to a new level. We have the highest paid , longest tenured cleaning crew on the island because that is extremely important to us. It's kept immaculate,and if there's ever a problem we will make it right.
3. The Home has everything you'll need. Not cluttered, but appointed with everything we could think of to keep you from wasting your vacation time making runs to the store. High tech Home theater TV in living Room, to the Chef's Kitchen, to having all the Beach gear you could shake a stick at, we've tried to provide you with everything you'll need to have a time you'll never forget. Top tier bedding, linens, and anything you'd need to have a great time at the beach.
