About this property

Sandpiper 7A ~ Enjoy the pool and beach views

Wave your worries goodbye during your stay at Turtle Tide Retreat! While staying at this idyllic location, you'll find yourself transported into a story where you step onto a covered deck, book and coffee in hand, and breathe in the salty gulf air. With the waves gently crashing against the shore just outside your door, you'll feel your body relax as you plan out your day.

Whether you choose to spend the day indoors, grilling a delicious meal, or catching up on your favorite TV show, or venture outside for a walk along the beach, the options for relaxation and rejuvenation are endless! You may even be tempted to take a dip in the gulf waters and let the ebb and flow refresh your spirit.

Turtle Tide Retreat is the perfect setting for you to create your own fairy tale, and when you return home, you'll have a story to tell that begins with, "Once upon a tide..." Whether you're looking for a quick escape or a longer retreat, Turtle Tide Retreat is the ideal destination to unwind and recharge. You may never want to leave, and perhaps you'll find a way to make this a yearly tradition.

Hot but great time!

We went with a group of 80 people and had a fabulous time. Our condo 7A was adorable! The beds were comfy and we just loved it. The only thing was there were only 5 forks and no glass casserole to cook in. Otherwise, it was great and would stay in that unit again!!

Beach vacation

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a very nice vacation at the Sandpiper as always. The only complaint I would have is when we arrived to our unit it was very sandy and one of the beds sheet was on completely wrong and inside out. It seems as the cleaning crew was rushed.
Response from VrboOwner on 31 May 2022
Sandpiper is quite the property for families who love friendly neighbors and lovely Gulf views. We regret the housekeeping issues you experienced; you are correct in that summer Saturdays are quite busy for the popular Sandpiper. We hope to see you in the near future!

Exceptional stay! 10/10

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Directly on the beach! The front door is about 50 yards from the water. Perfect views. Condo has everything you could need, even some beach toys. Beds were comfortable and furnishings are charming. The property is very clean and well-maintained. Hoses for rinsing sand were conveniently located and the valet carts were a thoughtful touch. Couldn't hear other guests and quiet hours were respected. The rental office is only 1/4 mi away, on the way to the unit. This was a really great stay and we are already planning next year!

Cleaning fee

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Honestly for paying $185 cleaning fee I feel the place should have been cleaner. As soon as we got in we packed a cooler for the beach. Ice fell on the floor and as I wiped it up with a paper towel, I was shocked it was so dirty. Bathroom floor was the same.
