We enjoyed our stay at Sandpiper Cottage immensely! The property was clean and perfect for our group. The kids room with ping pong table was a huge hit. The neighborhood was peaceful and there is a small playground just up the road. Andy and Rebecca were perfect hosts and we would absolutely stay here again. Thank you!

We absolutely enjoyed staying at this home. It really felt like we were at home. The beds were comfortable plenty of dishes in the kitchen. It was nice and clean. Smelled good. Loved the backyard with the fire pit. It had corn hole boards, a ping-pong table in one of the bedrooms, which the kids loved. A nice back porch, where I loved sitting drink my coffee and just listen to the birds. I would most definitely stay here again if the house is available next time I come down.

The house was nice and clean with comfortable bedrooms, it had some areas in need of repair but it is to be expected with an older home. The charm and character was very nice and the outdoor area was well equipped.

The property was perfect for our needs. Everyone slept comfortably on the foam mattresses. The location was close to everything we wanted to do, including the beach, Biloxi, and New Orleans. Our hosts were extremely responsive and easy to deal with. It would have been nice to have usable drawers in the bedroom with the laundry machine or at least a much larger number of hangers.
