  We had a wonderful week in Seaside in the Sandpiper cottage. The cottage was clean and in a great location. We were just a few steps from the beach and a short walk to town, pools etc. We especially enjoyed time on the screened in porch reading or having a meal. Also, the upper deck is great for some sun during the day and star gazing at night. Having the bikes was a great added bonus. Thanks for sharing your Seaside home with us.

  My husband, my two girls and I stayed at Sandpiper and had a wonderful experience! Charming furnishings and a short walk to the beach made this the perfect cottage for us! It was also very convenient to the pools and the town. We didn't have to get in the car once. We plan on heading back next year!

  We visit the beautiful beaches of 30A every summer but this was our first experience during the winter. We decided to spend our Christmas this year in Seaside and it was perfect. The weather was a bit cool at times but there was plenty to do in Seaside and not as crowded as it is during the summer months which was very nice. Mark's cottage was exactly as described -- very welcoming and perfect for myself, my husband and our 16 year-old daughter who had 3 beds to herself -- what teenager wouldn't love that!! We would definitely stay here again and again!!! Also, due to weather-related travel issues with the airlines, we ended up staying through the New Year and am I glad we did. Seaside has the best fireworks display hands down -- and right on the beach!!! This is definitely a must visit for New Year's Eve!!

  We had a great time at the Sandpiper. The kids loved it and it was a close walk to the beach and to the snow cones! We can not wait to go back next year! This house was great!

  We had an amazing time staying at Sandpiper. The house was perfect, it had everything that we needed. We had a family of 5 staying there and we were all comfortable. The location to the beach was the best, just a short stroll down the street! We also enjoyed the close proximity to the center of Seaside. Every morning we strolled down the sidewalk to The Great Southern to have breakfast. I would highly recommend staying here and we hope to be back again very soon!

  The Sandpiper cottage was very comfortable for our family of 5. Our favorite part was the screened porch with swing and the close proximity between the beach- I timed it one day it took 2 minutes to walk to the beach and also close to the playground and pool! We loved it, it was our best family vacation yet- we will definetly return! Seaside is awesome as a whole- you don't have to drive anywhere after you get some groceries! Sandpiper makes it so easy to check in and out- you feel relaxed the moment you arrive! Thank you for a fantastic vacation! I can safely say, I did NOT want to leave!!

  The Sandpiper was exactly as advertised, and was in a superior location. Quiet, quaint and very sound, the cottage was spacious and more than comfortable. The entire Seaside area is unique and very appealing to anyone wanting to feel at home on vacation. The folks at Sandpiper Vacation Rentals were fantastic to deal with, always answered when I called and were quick to offer advice and directions. I could not have had a better experience for this trip!

  We stayed in Sandpiper during Spring Break this year with our 3 kids - ages 2, 8, and 11. The description of the cottage provided by Mark is accurate and, to our relief, so are the reviews. The cottage had everything we needed and it's location was perfect. It was close enough to the beach that our 2 year old could walk on his own (because he's a "big boy", you know...) and it's proximity to town center was just right for our family - an easy walk but far enough away to avoid the 'tweener' throngs that mobbed the center. Sandpiper is small and cozy, so it truly is a "cottage" However, for our family of 5 it worked very well for a few reasons. (1) It's Seaside in March (70 degrees every day) and no one really cared about staying inside, (2) it's well-thought out design includes two porches, so everyone can get a little space if they need it, and (3) we have a toddler who doesn't need a whole lot of space. A family of 5 with three teenagers might be pushing it, but for younger kids it worked well. The cottage itself had lots (awesome, btw!) of fresh bath towels and quality dishware. The appliances were high quality, and we used the washer and dryer just about every day. The outside shower was preferred by the kids once we discovered it and plenty of beach toys were provided. Unfortunately for us, we didn't look hard enough for the beach toys until after we dropped some coin locally. (Free tip for you: they are stored outside the house, around the back on the side you have no reason to visit except to get the toys!) The key lockbox was very convenient as well - we never worried about losing the key because we simply locked it up every time we left the house. A small thing, but we used it daily. As for the vacation in Seaside, it was the first family vacation we've taken in years that was relaxing enough to call a true 'vacation'. The simple pleasures of playing in the sand and the waves occupied our children for hours every day. The fact that we could walk or ride bikes anywhere we wanted to go made it almost a car-less vacation. Yes, stuff is pricier in Seaside than in your hometown. But you probably didn't come to Seaside because your hometown is on a beautiful beach, built like an early 20th-century village (with hidden pathways through-out), and far enough from the city that you can enjoy a glass of wine under the bright stars before falling asleep to the sound of the surf. Considering the kids were with us too, THAT is a vacation!
