The host was welcoming. The only issue was the email sent with WiFi instructions was not correct. The correct information was in the condo. The host wanted me to call the internet company and I don't go on vacation to call a customer service provider when I am the hosts customer.

I stayed with my 2 kids for a week, and this unit was wonderful! We loved that it is a bottom level unit, which made it so easy to load and unload everything. The pool is just out the back doors, perfect for evening swims every day. You can either walk or drive over for beach access- we tried both, and found it easier to drive with the amount of stuff to take having kids. The complex location is close to everything you could want. Diane was an excellent host and answered any questions I had. I highly recommend staying here!

About the host

Hosted by Diane Harrison

Host profile image
I grew up visiting the Florida Panhandle in the 70's and continue to revisit the beautiful beaches as often as possible! I grew up in Nashville, Tn and now I live in the Atlanta area which is a little closer to the sandy shore.

Why they chose this property

The Sandpiper has everything you could want. I fell in love with the community atmosphere and the beach pavilion. Order drinks or lunch beach side at Rick's Sandtrap. (just remember it's cash only)

What makes this property unique

Choose from 5 pools in the complex and play the 9 holes of pitch and putt all day for free. You can borrow clubs at Sandpiper but they need to be returned at 5:00, so I recommend bringing your own.
