Fine quarts crystals make up the sugary white, soft sand that is on the beach today. This white sand is the reason why the water looks emerald green.

This was our 3rd girls trip to Florida. Every year we’ve stayed in a different place. We enjoyed them all, but we all agreed this was our favorite by far. We loved the pool, the location, the golf cart and the house. It was perfect!! We’re already talking about returning next summer!!!

We loved staying here. Our hosts left excellent communications designed to make our stay even more enjoyable. When we requested to have the pool heated, it was taken care of within an hour! And it made such a difference!! Even though much of our week had rain, our spirits were not dampened.

Given it was “Thunder Beach” week, we appreciated the location away from the Pier Park area. The house was just the right size and looked to be recently updated. Having the pool was awesome as we could go out at any point morning noon or night. It was only a short walk to the beach so we didn’t even need to use the golf cart that was provided on site. It’s a rental that we would come back to, even with more family.

This property worked out great for us! It was exactly as advertised, very clean, and the host was great to work with. We appreciated the location, away from the high rise areas and heavy traffic, yet very close to the beach access point. The pool got plenty of use, heater and lights worked well. The golf cart was a fun bonus!

About the host

Hosted by Erica M

Hi! We’re Erica and John, the owners of Sandpiper Cottage at Laguna Beach.
We’re both college biology professors and proud parents of five children. Some of our most cherished memories as a family have been made on beach vacations — spending long days in the sun, exploring nature, and simply having time together away from the busyness of everyday life.
Creating Sandpiper Cottage has been a special project for us, and our hope is to share that same sense of connection, relaxation, and joy with the families and friends who stay here. We truly hope your time at the beach becomes as meaningful to you as it has been to us.

Why they chose this property

We were on the hunt for a home big enough for our whole crew. Somewhere we could escape to a few times a year during our teaching breaks. One beach trip a year just wasn’t cutting it for us! When we discovered Laguna Beach, we fell in love instantly. The neighborhood has such a peaceful, private feel, yet it’s only minutes from everything you could possibly want to do.
One of the things that makes this area so special is what you won’t find here: no high‑rise condos, no rows of hotels, and no crowded beaches. Much of Laguna Beach’s shoreline is beautifully undeveloped and zoned to stay that way, protecting the natural dunes and preserving those stunning coastal views. As biology professors, conservation is close to our hearts, so being able to step outside and see native birds, plants, and coastal wildlife right in the neighborhood feels like a dream.
We love how close we are to all our favorite spots. Pier Park is perfect for shopping, dining, and entertainment. Head west on 30A and it’s a whole lineup of unforgettable experiences—French‑inspired architecture and amazing dinners in Rosemary Beach, the bright white Bahamian‑inspired beauty of Alys Beach, and the relaxed, iconic charm of Seaside. Renting bikes there and exploring the town (and its food scene!) is one of our favorite traditions.
We’re also huge fans of the local nature preserves. We’ll often spend a day hiking the dunes at Topsail or exploring the protected jetty at St. Andrews. From there, you can catch a ferry to Shell Island—a spectacular 7‑mile stretch of untouched coastline perfect for shelling, snorkeling, and simply unwinding.
There’s always something new to see or do, and honestly, we’re constantly counting down the days until our next trip back. Laguna Beach and the surrounding area have brought our family so much joy, and we’re thrilled to share that experience with our guests.

What makes this property unique

This spot is quite special. This house feels wonderfully private, the neighborhood is quiet but full of kind, welcoming people, and you’re still just moments away from endless things to see and do. No matter your personality or interests, there’s something nearby that will make your experience here truly memorable.
