8 / 10Excellent·Jun 2026
Everything went well until we had to check out the garage door cable snapped so we were stuck for 3 hours. We communicated right away with the host because that is what we were instructed at the time of check in, but he was a bit rude and claimed that the cables of the garage had already been replaced. He gave us the garage guys phone number he uses which they finally showed up and fixed it to open the garage door for us to get out and we asked him had you replaced these cables cause they look very rusted which we took pictures too and the garage guy stated that no he hadn't that they did advise the host they needed to be replaced for that reason and that the host did not want to replace at the time that they recommended replacement. We called host back to let him know we were on our way out 3 hours later and asked him can we leave or did we have to wait for garage guy to finish his response was you should have left 3 hours ago very sarcastically. Our vehicle was stuck in garage we couldn't lift it manually because of the cables he had the audacity to say watch a YouTube video to do it correctly. The garage guy told us with that type of garage door the condo had it would be like you were lifting over 500 lbs. To sum it up trip was good but because there was an issue we brought up to the host we got unprofessional feedback. So, I definitely did not appreciate the sass I got from him nor being stuck in the house/garage issue because I did have kids who were getting hungry.

This was a PERFECT stay for our family! The unit is exactly as described, extremely clean and well outfitted. I would definitely look to stay here again. The location is wonderful!!!
10 / 10Outstanding·May 2026
Dates: 22 to 25 May 2026Our group consisted of 5 adults and 2 children. We loved the 1st floor’s layout. One perk was the available dedicated parking, including a 2-car sized garage. We loved the convenience of a patio, pool, plus private walkway (with fresh water for rinsing sand off) to the beach. The larger of the 2 master bedrooms became a favorite since it had a sliding glass door for viewing of the beach. Another great perk is that we truly didn’t need to bring anything (just as the property description stated). The restaurant recommendations from our Host, right down to the breakfast tacos at the nearby convenience store, were also excellent. Our personal favorite was Nauticos. However, we can honestly say that we enjoyed all the recommended restaurants that we tried.Kudos to Bill, our Host. Bill was very responsive to our questions before and throughout our stay. In our experience, while most hosts have been professional and responsive, our own personal impressions were that Bill went above and beyond, and therefore we would classify him as being a step higher than the usual “good” VRBO hosts. We truly appreciated this.In summary, the Sandpiper House is an excellent choice for a peaceful break away from daily life. The only down side of staying at the Sandpiper House is that now our standard, for vacation rental properties, will be higher than it ever was before. Thank you for helping to make our vacation stay so enjoyable and memorable.
