About this property

Awesome family beachside retreat

Sandpiper is a low density three story complex. Its unique V shape building and shared common area walkway in front of each condo lends to a friendly get to know your neighbor atmosphere. Family reunions, large groups of people traveling together and individual families choose this property often. The tropical courtyard, seasonally-heated swimming pool (mid-March through October, as needed) and grilling areas give Sandpiper an ambiance all its own. It is a highly requested property and has the most repeat guests.

This bright and cheery condo has all you'll need for your family to enjoy its beach stay in at-home comfort. The fully-equipped kitchen boasts both a Keurig and a standard drip coffee maker. Both bathrooms have been tiled, with one having a gorgeous, walk-in shower.

Excellent stay

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: We had a great week. The place is very clean and well maintained. We have stayed here before and love the location. Bender was helpful when there were issues with a large group of drunk adults with kids who were constantly running and screaming at all hours of the day and night. Aside from this group being a thorn in the side of most of the guests the whole week we had a great experience.

Quiet Spring Break Getaway

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. 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 wonderful time staying at the Sandpiper this week. We were pleasantly surprised with how quiet it was! Our kids loved the heated pool and short walk to the beach.Our condo kitchen was very well stocked with everything we needed, the beds were comfy, and we loved all of the games and beach reads that were available! My one complaint is that the living room furniture was a little worn and older. The couches had several stains and pilling. We ended up putting blankets over the cushions to make them more comfy.

Wonderful Vacation

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: Our first time there and what a wonderful and relaxing time. The condo was comfortable and accommodating. Plenty of places to dine out or a fully functional kitchen with everything you need to dine in. All you have to do is just bring the food. There was always a spot to park both our car under the building and our butts on the beach! Friendly people, from property management to the neighbors. We booked 12C again, on our last day there, for next year!
