Perfectly Magical

This was our second stay at Sandhill (we've stayed three times at properties managed by the owners) and it was wonderful once again. We were slightly worried this trip might not live up to the first, but that fear was definittley misplaced! The house was very clean, very well-presented and well-appointed. It was the perfect setting for everything we wanted to do for our beach vacation.

The house is wonderful! Comfortable and spacious, with lots of natural light. The elevator is a big help when "moving in". The beach was uncrowded and closer than it looks in the pictures. What a great stay!

Perfect Getaway

The photos really don't do the place justice- the home is stunning! Such a beautiful place, clean and comfortable amenities, and the layout allows the perfect setup for lots of space, as well as the opportunity for gatherings. We loved the porch views, the private beach, roasting smores on the beach at night, and kayaking with porpoises. We hope to get the chance to return!

Beautiful Home

This beach house was even better than pictured. Beds, furnishings, appliances, many other details that the host has included to make your stay wonderful and seamless.The hosts were easy to get a hold of when needed and very attentive. Beach biting flies were avoided when we realized they only came out when water was still and at certain times of day. Everyone enjoyed their stay!

This is an amazing property. The house is clean with every detail well thought of. The beach is very private. Lots of places to explore nearby during the day. I've rented many vrbos and this one definitely ranks among the best of them. Thank you for a great stay!

Great stay!

House was great! Updated and beautiful! Right on the beach! The house was very well stocked, beds were very comfortable and house was very clean! We loved having two refrigerators! The fishing was good! The water was pretty brackish when we were there but I’m told it’s not always like that. Beach was great! So peaceful and quiet! The water is shallow for a long ways out (nothing over 7 ft for as far out as our kayaks went) we enjoyed catching shrimp and crabs in our cast nets! And had a fire right on the beach! Definitely one of our best vacations full of memories!

Last minute impromptu trip

This house is beautiful and very comfortable. We absolutely loved being kind of secluded on our own little beach area. It’s about a 30 minute drive to go eat around Biloxi but it’s worth it for sure! Beds are comfy too that’s a big plus! Wear shoes outside they have stickers in the yard! lol the only thing is they need to kind of clean their side of the beach as there were sticks and wood but other than that it was totally perfect.

About the host

Hosted by Lisa Drew-Authement

Host profile image
My name is Clay Gillespie. My wife Irene and I have been very happily married for 29 years. We have 4 children, triplets (two girls and a boy) and another boy. It has definitely been a whirlwind raising 4 children who are all within a year apart, but we wouldn't change a thing.

I grew up in a small Louisiana town called Ponchatoula - about 90 minutes from the Sandhill Beachhouse. I attended college at Southeastern Louisiana University in Hammond, Louisiana. Shortly after college, I moved (of all places) to Cherry Hill, New Jersey. That's where I met the love of my life - Irene, a Jersey Girl - born and bred.

We raised our family in a suburb of Chicago called Arlington Heights. 3 Years ago, we moved to Franklin, TN (outside of Nashville), where we currently reside.

Why they chose this property

We own both Sandhill Beachhouse as well as the Seagrass Beach Cottage just next door. I immediately fell in love with both of these properties, their charm and character, not to mention the serenity of their own private beach right on the Gulf of Mexico. Our favorite part of Sandhill is the oversized covered back porch, where we can sit all day, taking in the breathtaking views and sounds of the ocean.

Ultimately, Irene and I plan to retire here, but in the meantime, we are pleased to share our home as a vacation rental property.

What makes this property unique

The most desirable benefit of Sandhill Beachhouse is, well, the BEACH! It sits on its own private natural white sand beach. The sounds and views of the Gulf are absolutely spectacular, whether taking them in from the oversized back porch, the gazebo on the beach, or from your beach chair right on the water.

The home itself is a charming southern beauty, with open floor plan, soaring ceilings, and spacious rooms. Oh, and the elevator is pretty cool as well.
