Everything about this property was as promised, the process went smoothly, and we had a fantastic stay. I especially appreciated that the host did not have a myriad of rules and our departure instructions were to run the dishwasher and leave the house like we would want our house left. The host was so gracious that it felt like we were staying in a friend's house instead of a rental.

This is our second time of staying at the Sandpiper. We love the peace and quietness this place allows for. If you want to be around more people and find different things to do-you have all that on the island. It’s not very often that someone owns such an amazingly clean, filled with endless amenities and views beyond imagination. That end up sharing it with others! You won’t be disappointed and will carry this place in memories for years after!

This house was perfect for our family. It had everything we needed to make our week comfortable. The kids enjoyed the pool and beach and all the water and sand toys that were available.
The location was perfect and the beach access was amazing! Check in and check out were very easy. We definitely recommend this house and would stay here again!

Amazing location! Home was the best stocked I’ve seen for vacation home rentals. You won’t be disappointed.

This home on the beach is so amazing. The house is fully stocked with everything you need to enjoy a week on the island. The host Billy is gracious and very communicative. The location is perfect. The pool overlooks the beach and is the perfect size to chill and relax.
The house was very clean and the bedrooms are spacious. The beds are so comfortable. The kitchen is fully stocked and the treasure chest of goodies is a nice touch.
We have stayed at several different places on the island and this is by far the best place we’ve stayed at. We hope to stay here again next year. Thank you Billy for sharing this amazing home with my family. We haven’t stopped talking about it since we left. 5 stars all the way!

This place is perfect! I have been renting beach houses on VRBO for nearly twenty years and there is always something about the experience that is lacking- not with this rental! The location is superb- right on the beach with a private boardwalk and 75 yds from the best beach bar on the island. The beds and furnishings were comfortable and the AC units were able to keep us cool even during this Texas heatwave. When the owner (Billy) tells you the rental is completely stocked, he wasn’t joking. You could fly to SPI with only your bathing suit and pajamas and have everything you need for a weeks stay. Juan and his crew had the house spotless and they helped us out with a lost item without any charge. You can’t beat the professional service of the the owner and his crew. Thank you Billy for a great stay. We will be back!

The perfect beach house that’s literally right on the beach. The location made it so easy with kids to go back and forth from the the beach. The living room had plenty of space for everyone and the bedrooms were plenty big! The pool was just the cherry on top! We’re already trying to plan our next family vacation using this rental! Billy was so easy to get ahold of and very responsive with any questions/requests.

We had a fantastic stay at The Sandpiper House. The beachfront view was absolutely stunning and it added a magical touch to the entire experience. The property was clean, had all the amenities you might have forgotten or did not think of packing which allowed us to focus on enjoying our family time together.
We highly recommend The Sandpiper House for you and your family looking for a relaxing and beautiful beachfront getaway. It checked all the boxes for our family and we can't wait to return.

This is the perfect vacation spot with gorgeous ocean views beyond the pool. I can’t think of a better place to stay in Padre. The home has everything you want. Billy is the best host. Highly recommend!!

The house and the view were perfect! You are definitely right on the beach. My family had a wonderful time!

We love staying at beach houses in South Padre Island but this was one of the best by far. Liberally 50 yards from the beach. We were able to set up our tent and chairs and just walk back to the house for a bite instead of having to take food to the beach. Wanna Wanna was like 2 minutes down the street and we could enjoy the live music from the comfort of the pool and patio. House had everything we needed and communication with the owner was always quick. Will definitely be staying here again.

Our 3 rd year in a row at south padre - first 2 yrs in condo - this was a townhouse on the beach - very private - much better than condo - all was as advertised - highly recommend to families for sure -

The property was just as described. The beach access was perfect for our family. Made it super easy to come and go from the beach. The home itself provide everyone their own space yet had a great family area. We would definity come back for another stay.

Not much to add to the list of glowing reviews. The property is unusually well equipped.
The taco place in the gas station down the road is seriously legit (like, they make their tortillas fresh onsite).

I’m just going to repeat much of what many others say, but Billy, the owner, goes out of his way to make sure that you have a wonderful visit. The entire house is very well stocked and he makes himself available if you have any issues on site. We had none but I did like knowing I could reach the owner if one did occur. The location and access to the beach is spectacular. The house is in great shape and we can not recommend this highly enough. Plenty of towels, sand toys, and beach chairs. He makes it very easy to enjoy yourself.

The Sandpiper house is great for a family beach trip! This the 2nd year we have stayed and both times were excellent.

We stayed at The Sandpiper House over Father’s Day weekend, and also celebrated my 34th Birthday at the same time. We were a group of 9. 5 adults, and 4 children. The rooms worked out perfectly for our group, with plenty of space for everyone to feel at home. The kitchen provided everything we needed to prep meals.
We loved the house, and the location. Literally no complaints from anyone! Thank you!

This is the best house that we have rented for a family vacation. It is so beautiful and the scenery is to die for. There’s plenty of room for a big family and the access to the beach is amazing. We will definitely be back and thank you so much.

Our host Billy was above and beyond accommodating and helpful from the beginning to the end. Our group of 2 grandparents, 2 parents, and 4 children (6 and under) thoroughly enjoyed our 5-night stay. So much room for everyone in the spacious, well-appointed home, small pool was perfect size for us, hot tub was a bonus. There were beach toys and floats aplenty, along with beach chairs. The view of the ocean from the living area, pool area, and upstairs master bedroom was awe-inspiring. Those sunrises were to die for! It was easy-peasy down the short boardwalk to the beach. The vibe in SPI is laid back and friendly, slow speed limits make walking and biking safe. Hope to be back soon!

Listing accurately describes experience you can expect! Nearly everything you could possibly need... pool, hot tub, beach, lounge chairs & More... BBQ, pool/sand toys, comfortable accommodations. Bar/Restaurant/Umbrella rentals steps away! Great tips from host and guest book.

This place was beautiful, waking up each morning to the Gulf waves and beautiful sunrise, was so amazing. Location was easy to get to and find. Having a garage you can park in was a huge benefit of this home.
Everything was clean. Beds were comfortable. Having everything you needed was wonderful. Only thing you need to bring is your personal beauty supplies(shower products). Everything else was supplied was plenty for the week that we stayed. The washer and dryer were HUGE and it didn’t take long to wash a load of laundry (we did a load of laundry every night).
The pool and hot tub was very nice and clean. The hot tub was perfect, actually got “Hot”.
William was very quick to respond to texts/messages and had suggestions on things to do/places to go/shop at.
I Highly recommend eating at Blackbeards and Mahi Niks (the Mahi nachos were amazing).
It was a Very nice relaxing beach vacation for my family. Everyone on the island was so nice and helpful.
Only thing I would change about the home is to have a way to lock the front door from the inside other then the keypad.

It was everything they said and more. It was absolutely amazing. We hope to go back next year. One of the best times. We usually go to Florida but think we found our new favorite spot.

Good communication with owner. No big issues. Some light bulbs were out. Seating needs to be replaced as it is tired. We had a family of 8 and we all had a blast being able to divide up so the littles could do different things but we could still see each other, run littles to the bathroom every hour without packing up or what have you. All the equipment worked well and no odd noises to keep kids up at night. We are already looking forward to another awesome SPI trip!

This was an amazing property. The home was even more beautiful than the pictures showed. The location couldn't have been better, and the views were breathtaking. The home was immaculate. We couldn't have asked for a better place to stay for the week! Thanks for sharing your home with us!

This house had it all! Right on the beach with a pool and hot tub. There were plenty of beach chairs and sand toys. The kitchen had everything we needed plus more. The beds were comfortable and there were extra pillows and blankets. The views are spectacular, especially from the master bedroom balcony. Billy provided good information on local restaurants and answered all questions promptly. We had a great time even in less than ideal weather and look forward to coming back.

We travel to South Padre Island about once a year and for the past 4 or 5 visits we have tried different places. The Sandpiper is the nicest place we have stayed. It is a beautiful home with all the amenities we could need. Being on the beach in seconds is a must for us and the Sandpiper takes care of that.
Our group was two couples, 3 teenage girls and a 1 year old. We were able to get each group into their own room and sound did not travel around the house. With the 1 year old getting up earlier that was not an issue with the rest of the group.
Having our own pool and hot tub for the kids to play in was a great way for them to extend their play time into the night.
Lasatly working with Billy (Owner) was great. When I communicated with him I could tell that he genuinely cared that we were having a good time. He gave us great recommendations for places that we had not tried in our time at SPI in the past.
When we come back to SPI we will be looking to see if we can stay at the Sandpiper again.
