Summer 2026 is ALMOST GONE and 2027 is filling up REAL FAST! Still looking for 2026? Contact us ASAP.

Don't forget, peak season is in swing and during peak season, we book Saturday to Saturday. So, if you're looking and don't see any availability, check to see if your stay duration falls under those parameters as that usually is the problem :) But, as always, feel free to reach out as we are always happy to help!

You'll love Andrew's Sandbox! 6 bedroom stand-alone beachfront home... no sharing!

Andrew's Sandbox's namesake is my oldest son, now a freshman in college. You'll love the Sandbox's 6 bedrooms (5 up and 1 down) and 6, count 'em, 6 bathrooms (4 up and 2 down). Yowsa!

Main Floor N Bedroom: 2 Queens
3rd Floor NE Bedroom: Twin over Full Bunk (sleeping up to 3)
3rd Floor NW Bedroom: 2 Queens
​​​​​​​3rd Floor S Bedroom: 2 Twin Bunks
3rd Floor SE Bedroom : King
3rd Floor SW Bedroom: King

Other amenities include televisions, DVD players, cable, high speed internet, master bath, central air, ceiling fans throughout, TWO refrigerators with ice makers, washer dryer, garbage disposal, and dishwasher. Outside showers and picnic table. Also, new wifi mesh network. More consistent coverage throughout the home! (Still can't guarantee the local cable company provision, but if its working, it'll work everywhere!).

Added a propane gas pool heater, so YES the pool is heatable to a maximum of 82-84' (the high side of recommended rec pool temps) to take the chill off! This service is by request in advance with a per night surcharge for length of stay (gas is expensive right now, this does not actually recoup the cost!). Fee subject to change due to incredibly high gas rates right now. Any online quote will show the optional fee and its current pricing. You may also add it after booking by simply requesting the pool be heated any time after making the reservation and at least a few days before check in so we can get it on before you arrive. See our FAQ about heatable pools too.

Snowbirds welcome. Up to 80% off. Inquire.No smoking please, but feel free to eat lots of shrimp, bask in the warm sun, and have a great time!

This was a great location for our Spring Break trip! We all had a ton of fun. We loved walking the beach every morning! The house was great! A couple of things to suggest: most of the bathrooms could use a little upgrading, some of the kitchen drawers and cabinets could use some TLC, the smaller king room did not have anywhere to store clothes (maybe add some shelves to the closet), the door to the deck in the larger king room would not open and it would definitely be nice to have a few extra kitchen towels.

Great place right on the beach

My extended family and I loved our stay. It was so nice to step out the back door and be right there on the sand. Plenty of beds, baths, and space for the whole crew. Grandkids loved the bunk beds. The pool downstairs was a really nice break when the beach got too hot.

LOVED Andrews Sandbox!!!

Everything was perfect, hope to visit again once everyone figures out schedules! [🥰 Yay! Thank you so much Erica! We'd love to host you all again. Reach out when ready to lock down the return trip to Andrew's Sandbox--it rents super early for summer and holidays (and other times too) so let's get it set up before it... gets away! 😉 🙏]

Perfect home. Perfect vacation.

Really enjoyed our stay!! Richard was very kind and helpful. We had no issues or problems during our stay. Loved that it had two refrigerators! Home was clean and a perfect size. The windows allowed so many beautiful views of the beach as your morning kicks off. Sat on the porch watching dolphins every morning. 5 stars all around!

Our stay was great! We enjoyed the space with our family of eight. Any time there was a need, Richard and his team were exceptionally responsive! The walk to the beach was just steps, and the pool was great, too! Cannot wait to stay again!

We loved everything about this home! We stayed here with our adult children, two grandchildren and my husband's parents, and this house was perfect for all of us! We really loved that the house was just steps away from the beach and the covered pool was convenient when we wanted to get out of the sun or when it rained. The hardest part was leaving at the end of the week! This house is a dream!!!
