About this property

Sand Piper, Charming home w/ beach access, community pool + 6 adult bikes

Welcome to the tranquility of Sand Piper, in Seacrest Beach, Florida. This three-bedroom 30A vacation home is located in the charming community of Magnolia Cottages. You are transported to a slower-paced world within this quiet, brick-paved neighborhood. This rental also includes six adult bikes to make exploring 30A easy!

Sand Piper is one of the closest houses to the beach within Magnolia Cottages; just a two-minute walk to the beautiful white sands and emerald waters that the beaches of South Walton are known for! After a day playing in the sand and surf, cool off in the large community pool.

You will take a retreat in the restful primary suite. Snuggle up in the plush bed and watch some late-night television. Both the bedroom and bathroom have French doors open that open to a large open porch. The perfect spot to have your morning coffee or relax in the evenings.

On the first floor are two bedrooms for friends and family. The first bedroom is complete with a large bed and the other bedroom features a bunk bed that sleeps two. In addition, each bedroom has a private bathroom.

The coastal feeling of Sand Piper is continued with hardwood floors throughout the home and soft neutral color palette. Later in the evening, relax and take in a movie in the cozy living room or play a board game on the ample dining room table. Meanwhile, meals are a snap to whip up in the updated kitchen. There is plenty of prep space on the granite countertops and kitchen island. In case that you just do not feel like cooking then just head to Rosemary Beach or Seaside. Check out the local eats and delight in some first-class culinary cuisine.

While the beach is the main draw of the area do not forget that there are miles of bike paths that run along 30A. It is a great activity for the whole family! Check out the Gulf Coast Blog for more exciting ideas on how to fill your stay with fun.

Great Location, nice house!
Beautiful home in a nice community with a pool and beach access. The cleaning fee is excessive as the house was dirty when we arrived. We spent our first hour cleaning the refrigerator and sweeping sand out of two bedrooms. We have stayed in this community many times and is the only downside. We will return.

Excellent, except for one maintenance issue
We love staying in this area and the house was absolutely perfect for our needs. Everything was as expected. The only concern is that the lock on the door from the house to the screened porch did not work, which meant the house was unlocked and accessible to anyone. I notified the property owners twice. They said they would send a maintenance tech but that person never came or if they did, they didn’t fix the issue. The entire trip I was worried my valuables were at risk. It did put a damper on the overall experience which is why I am rating this a 4 j stead of a 5. That said, we didn’t experience any other issues and would 100% return to this neighborhood.

Construction zone
We loved the cottage (altho the furniture is less than comfy and a dog lives here, based on the dog hair bunnies and the seat of my black sweatpants). The real downer is that the cottage right next door is going thru a large rehab and there was construction noise and vehicles every day starting at 7 am. The portajohn is on the corner of the front yard and smells bad and is used all day by the workers on this site and two others nearby. I know that the owners cannot control their neighbors' construction schedules. It just would have been nice to know ahead of time. By the way, the giant truck picks up the dumpster next door (2 feet from the lovely front porch) at 5:45 am. The management company was not great. The codes for the beach gate and pool did not work and had to be reset, which happened in a couple hours. The pool was out of service for ten days, and the management company never informed me it was open again (I figured it out when the "pool closed" sign was removed).

Great location. Perfect house.
We loved this house. Was perfect for our family. Great location next to beach and near other neighborhoods good for shopping and eating. Was disappointed in beach rules. We had easy access to the beach but were told we had to walk down the beach and sit in a very crowded public beach area. Everything else was great!!

Love this location!
We love this location and the proximity to the beach of this party house was wonderful! There are a few things that could be improved. It’s advertised that it sleeps 7 and it does but when showering the water turned cold after the third person. That was a little tricky with 5 needing to shower. The kitchen didn’t quite have the supplies that other houses in that area have had. It wasn’t a huge deal but we did have to buy things that I would have brought if I’d known. Overall we enjoyed our stay and absolutely love the screened in porch!!

Our stay at Sandpiper
Sandpiper is in a beautiful neighborhood with the beach right across the street. The cottage is cute but it has many things under the surface that need to be cleaned/maintained. Firstly the lock from the patio to the master bedroom was broken and wouldn't lock. We contacted the property agency and they sent someone out to look at it. It ended up needing a new lock so they had to send a locksmith. This was surprising since obviously the lock was broken before we arrived. We spent two nights with no lock before it was repaired. The property was only cleaned at the surface: i.e. there was caked on food around the stove and old food remnants in the dishwasher. We had several roaches run on the kitchen counter (gross). There was a bottle cap and small pieces of trash under one of the beds. Both grills were disgusting and hadn't been cleaned in a while. There was leftover food remnants and old charcoal dust left in the grills. It wasn't our job to clean them so we had to call the property agency to come and clean the grills. After they came to clean them, we tried to use the gas grill but it was out of propane. You would think that these things would have been checked and cleaned and the gas replenished but that wasn't the case. There was one thing after the other that we had complaints about. These things should be maintained/ cleaned after each stay. These are things that can put a damper on one's stay and this is the reason I am leaving a negative review. If the property rental team would put more time and effort in the cleanliness and maintenance to the place then it could be wonderful.

Great location
The house location was a very close to the beach, which we loved. The pool was nice, but a little small and became very crowded in the afternoons. The home was perfect for our family of 4, however I agree with the prior review that this home needs a deep cleaning. The floors were not cleaned well, the light switches were filthy and when I lifted a sofa cushion to look for something, there were a years worth of crumbs under there. Also the trundle bed appeared to have dirty linens. The home itself is nice, but the cleaning service should be fired.

Great House
We loved the house, it's great for a family. the balcony on the second floor from the master bedroom was great. The grill outside. the only downside was the stairs to go to the beach specially when you have kids and a lot of stuff to carry. Overall loved it.

Sandpiper
Sandpiper is conveniently located to the beach and pool and in the 30A area. We had a great time. I would say the house needs a DEEP clean and organization. There are several things that need fixing in the house. The shower curtain in the downstairs bedroom continues to fall down, several of the breakfast table chairs need to be tightened and the refrigerator was on the fritz the week we were at the beach. For the cost of the house for a week I think these improvements would make for a better stay.

Good location, nice amenities, and well worth it.
The location was perfect for what we were looking for. It is set in a community back from busy 30A, but it is one of the closer houses to the beach. It's about a 3 minute walk to the beach (including 50 steps down to the beach). We were able to ride bikes to Rosemary beach in about 15 minute travel time moving pretty slow. Seaside was about a 15 minute car ride defending on traffic. The pool in the neighborhood was also a nice addition and was best in the mornings when the pool wa shaded. The house had a great setup with a bathroom and shower available for each bedroom. The front porch was used for early morning and late afternoon relaxing. It was nice to have a washer and dryer and an outside shower to rinse off after coming in from the beach. The house did need some attention. The front window was cracked and held together with tape, and several utensils were broken. The blender was also broken, but with some very careful handling it was useable. These were only minor things we noticed and didn't really bother us. I would recommend setting up chairs on the beach as early as possible if you want an unobstructed view, otherwise it gets crowded early since the area on the beach for the neighborhood is small and in between two private areas (the private areas are for the beach front condos, chairs are set up each day on the private beach but never used). I would recommend staying here and would stay here again.

Family and Friends Weekend Getaway
Invited a friend and her son to join our family on a weekend beach trip. The home was perfect for our crew (3 adults and 2 four year olds). The home is beautiful and the accommodations were great. The home is situated within walking distance to the beach and the pool. The first day at the beach was amazing, but it was a relief to have access to the pool the following day. We made use of the porch to allow the kids to get out of the house. They were able to eat their lunch and play while the adults took turns prepping for the next activity. We Loved this home for our trip, and would recommend it to other young families looking for a relaxing and fun getaway.
