The pictures do not tell the whole story

We flew into Clearwater to stay at this property and enjoy the white sand beaches of Clearwater. Much to our surprise this home was very unclean. Unreasonable amount of mildew in the showers, to the point of being unsanitary. There was hair on the bed. There was rust and food stains in and on the refrigerator, stains on the ceiling at the vents, dirt spots on the walls, etc. It was just flat out dirty. Very dirty. In addition, it had a very strong mildew or mold smell. It was in very bad condition when we arrived. My wife and I refused to stay there. Within 5 minutes of arriving, we knew that we were unwilling to sleep in that place. We would have slept in our rental car if necessary. We immediately contacted the owner. Much to her credit she owned the problem and contacted VRBO to get us a refund. We were able to find a nearby hotel within 30 minutes. We had a refund the next day minus the VRBO fees and local taxes. So, we were shorted approximately $300 and received approximately $900 in refund from VRBO. So, the owner/host handled it mostly correct. She didn't try to argue or make it difficult she was very apologetic and seemed to be genuinely unaware of the condition of the rental. She should have taken the $300 loss rather than us, but I take it as a lesson learned and a small price to pay to sleep somewhere that you are confident is clean and sanitary. Forewarned is forearmed.

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!

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.

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!

Quiet Neighborhood

We booked this unit last minute as we changed our vacation plans. We enjoyed the quiet, residential neighborhood away from the crowds. Just a short walk to the beautiful beach, which was convenient. Full kitchen and outside grill was nice! We appreciated the use of beach towels and chairs, however these are shared with the unit next door so you aren’t guaranteed the use of these items. Many of the chairs were broken and not able to be used. Picture in listing shows some beach toys that are not offered (ex boogie boards), so we had to purchase our own. One of the bikes had a flat tire that wouldn’t hold air even after filling. The outside area was large but was very dirty, so we did not use it. Both showers had mold/mildew and could use an updated shower head. Some of the bath towels had stains. Updates needed as there were several holes in walls. Master bed could use a new mattress. Overall, a nice unit considering our last minute booking.

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!!

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.
