* Please Note* This home is directly on the water, as all direct waterfront homes in the Florida Keys natures Seasonal Tradewinds may push surface grass to the shoreline of the property. This uncontrolled seasonal occurrence may result in the grass having an odor as it dissipates. These Tradewinds also bring in "ocean trash". this not only comes from careless people throwing trash in the ocean, but also from other places devastated by hurricanes, with household and personal items washing out to sea. For this purpose we have a break wall in place that prohibits the grass and ocean trash from coming ashore on our beach. You can access the water from our "floating dock" where you can launch your paddle boards, and kayaks to avoid this seasonal grass.
**NOTE~ Our home comes fully stocked with all bedding, linens, towels, wash cloths, and beach towels. We also provide complimentary starter of 2 rolls of toilet paper per bath, 3 rolls of paper towels, 1 box of trash bags, 1 bottle of laundry detergent, and 1 box of dryer sheets, along with a hand soap in each bathroom. Guests will need to provide ongoing supplies for their stay, if more supplies are needed.

Family getaway x19
Overall -a perfect set up for a large extended family with a range of ages. Many outdoor activities on the property. The pool and hot tub are amazing . The house is huge with private corridors (bed and bath) for individual families to be near one another. Kitchen and dining perfect for our large crowd. Hosts Carmen and Sherry very helpful thru out the week *Some improvements that could be made easily- improved wifi and tv service (basketball fans had trouble watching the NCAA games, when the littles needed down time out of the sun, Netflix connections were not good) cleanliness (this house could use a really good deep cleaning) , some of the hinged exterior doors wouldn’t stay closed in the wind,and a safety concern- you can’t lock this house up at night or if you are leaving it on a day trip. All that aside, EVERYONE in our family had a wonderful time here, and we hope to be back again some day!

Disappointing
I have never left a bad review but in this case, I felt it was necessary. The property and location were beautiful. Plenty to do and stocked well. That said, the property definitely needed some updating. The wiring and internet throughout the property was a disaster. The internet worked but it did not stay connected to the TV's or other devices due to how they were jerry-rigged. In some cases, with tape and several connections to one unit. There were two separate Wi-Fi signals throughout the home. We were constantly having to reconnect to them when the signal fell off. Biggest issue was two of the bathrooms on the main level did not have hot water for 5 of the 7 days. We had someone come in on 3 separate occasions. Due to her needs my 83yr old mother stayed in one of those bathrooms. Having her go to another occupied bathroom was a huge inconvenience. The hot water did get resolved on day 6. I was in constant contact with the property manager (not what I like to do on vacation) throughout our entire stay. I am in customer service, and I understand that things happen that are out of your control. We were offered another stay at a reduced rate of two nights. This was a once in a lifetime vacation for my family. This was a wish from my mom, we will not be able to pull our family together at this expense again. Management knew this and it saddens me that they did not feel a small refund (one night) was deserved. Very poor management.

Great extended family property!
24 family members stayed for a week at Seaside Sandpiper. Everyone remarked about having the right amount of privacy and common space. Centrally located in the Florida Keys easy to access other activities. The pool/hot tub beach side is amazing! Tiki bar with TV for watching sports or whatever is your thing. There is a shared dock for kayaking/paddle boarding from or rent a boat and keep it there. Fishing from the dock was great fun too. We saw a Manatee from the dock too. Dolphins swam by several mornings. We also enjoyed watching the sea birds. Grocery stores, restaurants and other activities were close and convenient. Great family vacation! I highly recommend this property.

Family vacation
We were happy with our stay and had fun as a family. The size of the house, rooms and location was great. We loved that we didn’t have to worry about pool towels. There were however some disappointing items as well. This was our first time using VRBO and we trusted the description to be accurate. We paid for a clean resort like situation however, because of the aforementioned items it missed the mark. This house had a lot of mold and tiles that need to be fixed, carpet covering holes in the floors, and broken curtain rods. The pool was constantly cloudy and we kept having to call to have the pool tended to. There was not enough silverware for a group of 26 and there were no dish towels, dish rags or sponges for cleaning up the kitchen. There were a few outdoor chairs that were broken, the tiki hut has a sink that is not operational, the white railing on the second floor is not safe and we had 4 toddlers in our group. The grounds on the sides and near the tiki bars have a lot of clutter/broken stuff that made it feel more cluttered than resort like. The hammock is partially torn and not safe for adults to use. We loved that there were kayaks and paddle boards, but there were no paddles for the paddle boards, just kayaks. There was a dart board and no darts. Some suggestions are to put hooks in all the bathrooms so things can be hung up, extra hand towels and possibly a few extra bath towels so you have something to use when you use your towels.

Great trip with friends!!
Group of 5 families, kids all grown had an awesome time. The house was great, we had a little AC mid week and Sherry was on it right away. Cooked meals in and had all necessary items. Pool area and Tili hut were major hang out areas. Plenty of room to sleep out 21 people easily. We were met by host for a complete walk thru on check in. Very relaxing pace
