Weekend Stay

We enjoyed our weekend staying in the Sandpiper!! The house was clean and unique. The back porch was a great place to sit and just relax in the mornings while watching the birds. Great place to stay.

Absolutely perfect!

Amazing cottage just a few blocks from the Gulf coast. We had everything we needed. Home feels much larger than it is due to a really cool layout. Lots of space to hangout and bedrooms are private with extra comfy beds. We will definitely stay again.

LOVED!! Great location close to NOLA

We rented this cottage for the Taylor Swift ERAS Tour. Perfect location to enjoy a couple of days at the beach and having fun in New Orleans without too bad of a drive. The house was so sweet. I loved the decor and the location. The house is decorated so nicely. Perfect for a short getaway. I was very pleased. I would love to come back. The host was very good with communication. Highly recommended!

Quick stopover

We had a one night stopover in Gulfport on our way to our Thanksgiving cruise. The communication with Andy was awesome. He was very responsive to every message I sent. The only issue we had was the coffee maker not working in the morning, but the coffee shop about a mile away was top tier. Thanks again for hosting us.

Family getaway

We had a great time at Sandpiper Cottage. Andy and Jennifer were very communicative. The house is a charming older home, great for a beach stay. Comfy beds, great AC, and convenient location. My only suggestion is to add a power strip/plug near the bed for cell phone chargers. Otherwise, we enjoyed our stay!

Relaxing haven near the beach

Intentionally crafted this home inspires you to stop and enjoy a good conversation or book. My young family of six enjoyed the yard and minimalistic aminities that made cleaning up a breeze. The bunk bed room was full of excitement and the broad porch was made for lingering. We loved this old succo home near the beach. Small town Gulport has become my favorite beach with Lynn Measows Children's Discovery museums and Traintastic. This home was perfect.

THE GOOD: KITCHEN - Has adequate cooking utensils, drink ware, plates.PORCH - Back porch was a good addition, but it wouldn't hurt to leaf blow a property prior to someone arriving. LOCATION - The location was blocks from the beach.LIVING ROOM - had adequate seating and a TV for those who need to watch the tube.______________________________________________THE BAD: Pictures always lie. We arrived at the location to find a charming, old, bungalow. With a bungalow comes many issues if not remedied. OVERALL CONDITION - Unlevel floors, peeling floor tiles, holes in the wall, and malfunctioning ceiling fans.BEDROOMS - Speaking of holes in the wall, we found a literal bandaid patched over one of the holes in a bedroom - well, it was hanging from the hole (see pic). Honestly disgusting. Old hangers, garbage lying on the closet floors, closet door did not close well either. The mattresses and pillows, in both bedrooms, were awful.BATHROOM - Old bathroom, typical lack of upkeep, no bath soap, shampoo in the bathroom. KITCHEN - There was no water in the fridge - as listed.VRBO - We rented from VRBO this time expecting more quality rentals than those we have found on that other company's website. However, VRBO did not meet our expectations either due to this experience.If you prefer uncomfortable beds, literal bandaids as patchwork on holes in walls, non-functioning ceiling fans, no soap/shampoo, then this place is for you.Otherwise, keep searching.

Fun Little Stop

We had the pleasure of staying at the Sandpiper Cottage as a one-night stop between Texas and Florida. The house was great, very clean, great amenities for the whole family. The kids loved the bunk beds, fire pit (s'mores!), and other random toys they found (balls, jump rope, etc). The backyard is top notch. It is a less than 5 min drive to the beach parking. Check-In/Out was very seamless and the communication with Andy was very fast and easy.

Great Trip to Gulfport

This house was perfect for our family of 5. It was located in a quiet neighborhood and was a short walk to the beach as advertised. There was a short drive to many different attractions. The outdoor porch was perfect for sitting in the morning and evening and had plenty of space for the corn hole game provided. My kids loved the ping pong table and the dining room table was perfect for card games. We used the kitchen everyday and there were plenty of items provided for basic cooking. The hosts were very responsive to our questions as we adjusted to the house on the first days. I would highly recommend this property and the hosts!

Family trip to Gulfport

Sandpiper Cottage was an excellent place to stay! It was a cute and comfortable house to stay in! We loved the styling and the feel of the house. It was super close to the beach which my family absolutely enjoyed! My boys loved the pingpong table and played many games. We definitely recommend staying here if you visit Gulfport, Mississippi!
