The property was well equipped and close to the beach. The only things I thought would be helpful that weren't provided were a door mat to help eliminate bringing sand into the cottage and some place to hang up damp towels, maybe an over the door rack. We would definitely consider staying again.

We have stayed at the Palmview/Sandpiper three times over the last several years and look forward to coming back again next year. The property has been beautifully renovated since Hurricane Ian! We love that it is on a quiet street and within walking distance of the beach.

We loved our stay in this immaculate old-Florida style inn. Staff was immediately available to serve us but did not hover. No amenity has been forgotten. The bright colors and coastal decor make for a real get-away feeling yet every attraction on the island is nearby. Book with confidence!

This property was just remodeled and was very clean and comfortable. Our only concern was that 2 units are connected and you can hear the people next door. They need more insulation between the units. We also lost internet a couple of times so the TV stopped working. We loved how close it was to the beach (2 blocks) and they had bikes available. We would stay there again for a few days.

We stayed at the Sandpiper Ibis cottage#3 on 6/12/24-6/14/24 and we loved it! The cottage had everything we needed - only need to bring yourself, clothes, and food if you wish to cook. The cottage has an updated kitchen, living room bedroom and bathroom. The beds were SO comfortable!!! It's been a long time since I've slept so soundly and comfortably. They could use some fluffier pillows, as theirs were a little flat, but that didn't bother me since I brought my own pillows from home. Unfortunately it rained most of the time that we were there and part of the property in the back and some of the streets were a bit flooded so we were unable to use the bicycles, etc.. We did make it to the beach on our last day for a couple hours when there was a lull in the rain. However we still had a great time playing board games and watching movies indoors during the rain. Very cozy atmosphere. We did have a small pool of water from several days of rain accumulating in front of our door and had to call the office to let them know about that and they quickly sent out maintenance to take care of it and to provide a thick mat for the inside so we wouldn't wet the floor as we were going into the cottage. My husband and I are planning to stay in that exact cottage again in the future.

Pleasant stay
I stayed at the Sandpiper Inn and was a pleasant stay overall. The check in process was a bit unconventional, but maybe that is from my personal lack of experience with these type of vacation rentals. Daily housekeeping service is not provided, but I was ok with that considering the duration of our stay. The unit was well stocked with basic kitchenware and linen/towels. Overall, the condition of the unit was ok, but there were some areas that could be improved such as the shower and bathroom and other areas where caulking was splitting and the finish was lacking overall, not a deal breaker, but considering the cost to rent, I think the upkeep should be more apparent. Parking was a little tight, but we managed and had no issues. Beach cruisers are provided on-site and they looked to be fairly new and well maintained overall. I would suggest for their to be a bike tire air pump available for use as some bikes were a bit low on air. The inn had a nice beachy vibe and was quite charming. I would consider staying here again on a return visit.
