Perfect for the two of us. Easy short walk to beach access. Longer walk to shops & dinner, but doable if you don't want to mess with parking in town. Great communication with host. Loved the hike to Caladesi.

Best Location for Vacation

Sandpiper was truly as advertised! Great location, only a very short walk to the beach and very comfortable for my family of five. Close to an active nightlife near Pier 60 but far enough for a quiet neighborhood. MaryHelen was a great host and we hope to return to Sandpiper on our next trip to Clearwater.

Moving Down

My husband and I rented this home for us to move my daughter down to St. Petersburg. We thought we would get to know the area by staying in Clearwater. The location was perfect for walking distance to the beach into the stores into the restaurants. Mary Helen was excellent to work with and took care of any question that I had. We would definitely stay here again.

What an amazing trip!

From the minute that we got to the Sandpiper we knew we had made the right choice! We had been debating on staying in one of the hotels closer to town and I’m so glad we didn’t. The Sand Piper is in the perfect location, it was so quiet and peaceful and just a brief walk to the beach. The beach was absolutely beautiful and also peaceful! It was really nice to have the bikes to ride to town, and all the beach toys for our son. The property was also well taken care of, and very comfortable! We will definitely be coming back! Thank you so much Maryhelen!

Comfy, convenient beach bungalow for small party and pets!

Maryhelen was an excellent host and her Sandpiper home was just perfect for our us and our 2 pups! Location was just short of a mile to the “strip” of Clearwater Beach restaurants, bars, shops, the Pier, etc and the beach access just a block away!! We especially loved the outdoor space with fenced in yard! Maryhelen maintained communication throughout our stay and was available if needed- but we didn’t need anything since the home itself met all our needs for a relaxing, comfortable vacation and we are already planning our next trip to the Sandpiper :) Thank you for a great experience in 1 of our favorite vacation spots!!

As described

This property worked out well for our family of two adults and two teenagers. The highlights of the property were: location to beach access and in a less busy part of town, nice outdoor space, grill, bikes, beach gear, comfortable beds and communication with the owner. The wifi and dishwasher did not work well but it sounds like the owner will be addressing those issues soon.

Beautiful Property, Great North Beach Location

We loved everything about the Sandpiper! Great neighborhood, quiet, and steps to the beach. The house was well stocked with everything needed from bikes, beach equipment, grill, and a well-stocked kitchen. The outdoor patio was lovely and the furniture was new and very comfy. The North Beach location is close to bars, restaurants, and an easy drive to Dunedin or spring training games. MaryHelen the owner was awesome! Great communication and area tips to help with our stay. She went out of her way to ensure everything was perfect for us! We look forward to enjoying the Sand Piper again in the future! Thank you so much MaryHelen!

Beautiful Northwoods Retreat

This is a great northwoods property that is well equipped with all the creature comforts of home. The hosts Troy and Mike were extremely accommodating and went above and beyond to make sure the stay was relaxing and comfortable from check in to check out. Our group of six snowmobilers were all middle aged men and everyone was comfortable with plenty of space to relax after a long day on the trails or playing in the backcountry. Mike went above and beyond to take us out and show us how to access the trail and find some of the local destinations that were worth seeking out. Kitchen is well equipped to cook anything you want, and the hot tub was clean and a perfect way to unwind and soak the old bones. Overall this was an A+ property and worth checking out in any season if you are looking for a high end rental in the Northwoods.
