Great stay, just one little issue.

My only complaint was the mattress seemed kinda old because the springs made noise every time I turned over or on my sides.

Don’t be fooled by the pictures on the Sandpiper’s website. The room I stayed in on the ground floor was dark, depressing, rundown and very out of date. The lights inside the room are very dim. The bedside lamps are barely enough light to read by. I asked for a room with a bathtub which I got, but the tub was shabby and had no plug! When I asked the manager for a plug, he didn’t have one and said he would go out and buy one. Four hours later when I returned to the office I asked for the plug and he said in a frustrated voice. “ Why do you keep bugging me I told you I would get you a plug.” He then handed me a plug he had bought . When I tried it out in the bathtub it was too big and I couldn’t use it. So much for customer service. I will never go back to this place again, and would not refer my enemies to it.
Ugh
Plugless bath tub
Shabby worn bathtub

Quiet and clean

I would have given 5 stars but our room key was turned off before the check out time. I was loading up to leave and couldn’t get back in the room for the rest of my stuff. Luckily my husband was still in the room. Overall the room was good and quiet place to stay. In walking distance of shopping and restaurants

Everything is very nice for the price. We loved it here. We missed not having an iron in our room but that wasn't that important. We are at the beach. Besides, I think if we had asked the front desk, they would have had it right there.
