We loved our stay at Sandpiper! It was so close to the beach, yet quiet and tucked away. It met our needs perfectly, we had 2 adults and a 13 month old baby. It took no time at all to walk out to the beach, or head into the town center. We rented bikes during our stay and loved riding through the beautiful streets of Seaside. The kitchen came in handy and we loved the big tub! The beds are so comfy too. Everyone was so friendly and we cannot wait to return to this beautiful town! Thanks so much for making your property available to rent... we would gladly stay there again!

We took our 3 year old daughter to Seaside for her first beach experience. We stayed at the Sandpiper and it could not have been more perfect. What a vacation! I can't wait to go back and our daughter fell in love with the place. Thank you for sharing your wonderful home!

Perfect place for a family vacation! The house is
literally 1 minute from the beach and 2 minutes
from the Seaside square. The house has great
amenities with plenty of room for a family of four.
The only thing missing would be a grill for cooking
up some great local seafood.

Seaside is a great place to relax and forget about
the rest of the world. We thought it would be an
expensive little town but in fact everything was
completely reasonable. Don't miss the Taco Bar or
the Great Southern!

We just got home from a great week at Sandpiper. The cottage was the perfect size for our family of four and the location was just right - close enough to the beach and town center, but still nice and private. We loved the porch swing and outdoor shower. The house was beautifully appointed and Seaside was a lot of fun.

We took our kids on a 15 hour roadtrip to Seaside for 5 days and it was worth every minute of the drive! The kids loved the white sandy beaches and running around the town center... we had so much fun wining and dining at all of the fun places and lounging around at Sandpiper. The cottage was perfect location and size for our family of four. Would definitely recommend!

I've stayed at Art and Soul, in wonderful Seaside, several times and have always thoroughly enjoyed myself! Art and Soul is abundantly furnished with everything necessary to enjoy an out-of-the-ordinary yet homey vacation experience; wether one desires to take-in all the sites or just do a whole bunch of nothing!

What a wonderful vacation. LOCATION,LOCATION, LOCATION. Only 1 BLOCK from the beach! Right in Seaside, only 2 blocks from the center of town. Thank you for sharing your Seaside home with us. It was the perfect place for our crew - Mom, Dad, 5 month baby, Grandad & Gran - Everyone thought it was great. We look forward to our next visit.

Our stay at Seaside was amazing. The Sandpiper cottage was equally amazing. I can't say enough positive things about the location, the cottage, and the community. Our 2 year old had the best time at the beach. The weather wasn't the best at the beginning of our week because of Hurricane Faye. I contacted Mark about paying to stay an additional night, and since the weather was so bad and the cottage wasn't booked...he allowed us to stay for an additional night at no charge. You just don't find that type of hospitality very often. Thanks Mark and Kathleen! We hope to return very soon.

Sandpiper is the perfect cottage! It is so cute and close to everything. Seaside is the perfect beach vacation and if you have kids they will love to just be free. Don't forget to rent you bikes! We hope to return to Sandpiper soon.

We just returned from Seaside and had a wonderful
experience. Sandpiper is a great place to stay and was
perfect for our family of 4. We had to promise the
locals not to tell anyone about this Oasis that is
Seaside, so if anybody asks you didn't hear it from me,
but Seaside is Amazing!

We've stayed in many different houses in the Seaside area and we love this one the best. It was absolutely perfect for our family and we have already reserved it for next year at the same time. The owner was extremely accomodating and the house is just beautiful. We especially loved the convenience to the shops and restaurants in downtown Seaside. You cannot go wrong with this rental!

Your home is very beautiful and such a great location. Close enough to walk to the beach, but away from the main street traffic. Seaside is a wonderful place to vacation. Sailboating in Destin with Rex at "Nathanial Bowditch Sailing" makes a great day trip.

Nice cottage. We had beautiful weather but cold. Short walk to the beach access. Seaside is charming. Not much to do in the winter season but this is a very relaxing retreat. Best to bring your own bikes if possible.

I just returned today from the Sandpiper. I had such an amazing time in your beautiful home. I went with the family I nanny for with their 2 children, ages 6 and 2, and their friend who was 6. The home was so perfect for our visit. The kids loved the bathtub and the bunkbed most. I was so relaxed, even the day that it rained wasn't bad because of the beautiful music the tin roof made. Thank you for making my visit to Seaside such a relaxing pleasure. I will definitely return.

Best Beach vacation we've ever taken! It was wonderful for the kids (11 and 15 years old) to have the freedom to play soccer, got to the beach, the free concerts or lunch all on their own. The house is in The most convenient location to the pool, beach and shops while still mantaining the privacy we wanted. The master bath was beautiful! We will be coming back.

We stayed in the Sandpiper for our honeymoon and it was exactly what we were hoping for!! The reservation process was SO easy!

Thanks you for a great vacation. Now I know the meaning of relaxation! The kids loved having their own room and we loved it too. We especially enjoyed the screened in porch (so much that we are getting quotes on screening in our own!) The decor was awesome - we wouldn't have changed a thing.

There is no better spot than Seaside for a beach vacation. Please feel free to refer anyone to us if you need a positive reference!

Thank You! Thank you for a wonderful week at Seaside! Your comfy beds and welcoming porch made our nights a dream.

He was so helpful to us in getting us acclimated to the area. We will definitely be back! Anne and Rex Buffington

We enjoyed your house with its convenient location and amenities very much. The kids loved the bunk beds and we slept like rocks. Being off the main path was nice too. I would suggest some general information about tropical storms and what to expect about flights, evacuations or other important information as we were leaving the day Arlene came through and found the airport completely closed! We will be back to Seaside next year!

Sandpiper had everything we needed. It was close to everything!The screened in porch was heavenly and the kitchen was so updated.
I always worry how I will sleep. Don't give it another thought. The Master Bedroom and Bath was awesome. The songbirds greeted us each morning. It was truly a peaceful and relaxing week!
Hope to visit again in May,

The Sandpiper is a picturesqe little piece of paradise. It is as cozy as a mountain chalet, yet is within easy walking distance to everything -- beach, amphitheatre, restaurants, and shops. The Sandpiper is overflowing with desired ammenties which make the experience so hassle-free and inviting. As a writer, I particularly appreciated the quiet and tranquil nature of the setting. I could have stayed several more weeks. In fact, I hope to visit again soon.
