About this property

🥰 Summer Sale! First 2! Andrew's Sandbox: 6BR Beachfront with Heatable Pool! Sleeps 21!

Andrew's Sandbox
1945 West Beach Blvd

You'll love Andrew's Sandbox! 6 bedroom stand-alone beachfront home... no sharing!

Andrew's Sandbox's namesake is my oldest son, now a freshman in college. You'll love the Sandbox's 6 bedrooms (5 up and 1 down) and 6, count 'em, 6 bathrooms (4 up and 2 down). Yowsa!

Main Floor N Bedroom: 2 Queens
3rd Floor NE Bedroom: Twin over Full Bunk (sleeping up to 3)
3rd Floor NW Bedroom: 2 Queens
​​​​​​​3rd Floor S Bedroom: 2 Twin Bunks
3rd Floor SE Bedroom : King
3rd Floor SW Bedroom: King

Main Floor Living Room: Queen Sleeper Sofa

There's a sitting room, living room, dining room, and well-furnished kitchen. Andrew's Sandbox even has a pool sheltered beneath the home!

Other amenities include televisions, DVD players, cable, high speed internet, master bath, central air, ceiling fans throughout, TWO refrigerators with ice makers, washer dryer, garbage disposal, and dishwasher. Outside showers and picnic table. Also, new wifi mesh network. More consistent coverage throughout the home! (Still can't guarantee the local cable company provision, but if its working, it'll work everywhere!).

Added a propane gas pool heater, so YES the pool is heatable to a maximum of 82-84' (the high side of recommended rec pool temps) to take the chill off! This service is by request in advance with a per night surcharge for length of stay (gas is expensive right now, this does not actually recoup the cost!). Fee subject to change due to incredibly high gas rates right now. Any online quote will show the optional fee and its current pricing. You may also add it after booking by simply requesting the pool be heated any time after making the reservation and at least a few days before check in so we can get it on before you arrive. See our FAQ about heatable pools too.

Snowbirds welcome. Up to 80% off. Inquire.No smoking please, but feel free to eat lots of shrimp, bask in the warm sun, and have a great time!
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

LOVED Andrews Sandbox!!!

Everything was perfect, hope to visit again once everyone figures out schedules! [🥰 Yay! Thank you so much Erica! We'd love to host you all again. Reach out when ready to lock down the return trip to Andrew's Sandbox--it rents super early for summer and holidays (and other times too) so let's get it set up before it... gets away! 😉 🙏]

Perfect home. Perfect vacation.

Really enjoyed our stay!! Richard was very kind and helpful. We had no issues or problems during our stay. Loved that it had two refrigerators! Home was clean and a perfect size. The windows allowed so many beautiful views of the beach as your morning kicks off. Sat on the porch watching dolphins every morning. 5 stars all around!

Great place right on the beach

My extended family and I loved our stay. It was so nice to step out the back door and be right there on the sand. Plenty of beds, baths, and space for the whole crew. Grandkids loved the bunk beds. The pool downstairs was a really nice break when the beach got too hot.

We loved everything about this home! We stayed here with our adult children, two grandchildren and my husband's parents, and this house was perfect for all of us! We really loved that the house was just steps away from the beach and the covered pool was convenient when we wanted to get out of the sun or when it rained. The hardest part was leaving at the end of the week! This house is a dream!!!

We had the best time for our stay here. The house is beautiful and the perfect location. Our group had a variety of ages staying and there were plenty of things close by to do besides hanging out on the beach. We will certainly be back!

We loved Andrew's Sandbox!

Me and my boys decided to do a last minute beach trip, I typically like to stay at a beach house because of the crowds and it's easier with kids. Luickly we ran into this house and booked it. It was very convenient and was a great location. They responded very quickly considering we cooked it as we were on the way there lol. We enjoyed out stay and will 100 percent come back and recommend it to anyone!

Wonderful time at Andrews Sandbox

We had the best time! Thank you so much for having us. It was clear you guys also just completed a lot of work as the paint really fresh AND a lot of the furnishings seemed new. We loved it. Can't wait to come back in the future. Oh, and we loved all the messages as well as the fast replies on any questions. Fantastic!

Wonderful!!!

We had such a wonderful stay at Andrew’s Sandbox! The house was perfect for our family of five (kids ages 2, 5, and 6). The beachfront location couldn’t be better, and the shaded pool under the house was a game changer—it was the perfect place to cool off after a hot day on the sand. We also really appreciated the outdoor shower, which made cleaning up the kids after beach time so much easier.The house itself was incredibly comfortable and well-stocked. The beds were cozy, and we had everything we needed to feel right at home. We’ve stayed at other beachfront properties, but this one truly stood out thanks to the thoughtful layout and features.We loved our time here and will absolutely be back—we usually visit two to three times a year, and this is now at the top of our list!
