We loved this property. The owner Trent was very communicative and the home was in great condition. A short walk to the beach. All the beach accessories were a huge bonus for us. We used them daily. The ability to have our dogs with us was also nice. Highly recommend!

Great place for family!

This was a terrific space for our family of 5. We made use of the heated pools since weather was too cool for swimming at the beach. Had we wanted to play at the beach, EVERYTHING we could have possible needed was in the home for us. Comfy beds, well stocked kitchen, and plenty of space for family to gather together or retreat to separate spaces. I appreciated the easy, fast communication with Trent. We were right in the middle of all the attractions we came for. Would absolutely stay here again!

A Great Getaway

This was perfect for what we needed! We loved how close it was to the beach and the pools! We enjoyed meals at the Clubhouse and reading by the beach pool. The condo was well equipped with everything we needed from cooking to spending time at the beach! It even had pickle ball equipment to use at the new pickle ball courts! Trent was great to work with. Good memories! We wouldn’t hesitate to come back.

I can't say enough about this wonderful beach home. Super clean, comfortable and plenty of room. Just a short walk to the beach and close to everything. It really felt like home and private bathrooms in all bedrooms is a game changer! The home is fully stocked with everything you need besides food and Publix and Walmart are just around the corner. You can tell the owners want their guests to have the best vacation. We will definitely be back.

My husband and I are both retired and both of our children are married. We have one grandchild, who is 10 years old. Every year we take the whole family on vacation and this was the best place yet. So close to the beach, clean, plenty of room, and activities to do close by. Want to come back here next year. Thanks for everything Pam

Staying at Sandpiper Retreat

I recently had the pleasure of staying at Sandpiper Retreat, and I cannot express enough how fantastic my experience was. First and foremost, the property was impeccably maintained. The attention to detail was evident in every corner. The bedrooms were cozy and provided a restful haven after a day of exploring the surrounding area. The well-equipped kitchen made cooking a breeze, and the dining area was perfect for enjoying meals with family or friends. The property's location was another standout feature. It was conveniently situated near the beach and nearby attractions, restaurants, and activities for kids, making it easy to explore the area.

The townhome was very clean. It was a fully equipped kitchen. The owner provided beach chairs and umbrella for the stay. The owner always responded to my emails within minutes. Super fast and efficient. The beach access was less than 3 minute walk. I would say this was the best townhome/condo we have stayed and would highly recommend. The townhome had three rooms and plenty of bathrooms. Thank you for sharing your beach home with us. We will be back.

Great atay

Everything was wonderful! Tips for future renters: Master bedroom stays very light. If you have a light sleeper, have them take the queen or bunk room. Both stay very dark. Condo comes with all beach accessories, including umbrella, which was way more useful than the shibumi shade we brought. Beach had low wind. We are used to South Carolina beaches Which are very windy and shibumi are common. Trent was great to work with. Very responsive and accomodating.

We had a great stay at this property. The host was welcoming and allowed us to check in early so that we could enjoy a college football game with friends. They provide several beach items to use, which was very accommodating, if needed. The reason I gave a 4 star rating is because I need a washer and dryer to work, as laundry is a big need of mine. The dryer wouldn’t dry clothes unless cycled 3x on 60 minutes each time. I asked the host about it and he said to move the dryer away from the wall, which we had already done. He said he had just had it serviced and he apologized for my inconvenience but didn’t offer to have it fixed. It didn’t help our situation, and I also didn’t get to do much laundry. That was my only complaint, otherwise the condo is very nice.

Nothing short of perfect

We were in town with family for my husbands Ironman. First, the location of the home was perfect… perfect as in walking distance to the beach and amenities around. As far as the Ironman at pier park, it was so great, we weren’t in the heart of traffic and mess, but close enough to get there fast, and the running route went right past the neighborhood. As far as Trent, he was an absolutely wonderful host. Accommodated everything for us. The house was perfect and on a little waterway which was such a lovely surprise. The house was clean and each room had its own full bath. The pool nearby was completely under construction, but that won’t last long and the pool will be brand new! My whole family LOVED the property. I don’t have enough good things to say. Heck, even the neighbors were amazing that just got down as snow birds.
