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.

Wonderful!!!

We had such a wonderful stay at Andrew’s Sandbox! The house was perfect for our family of five (kids ages 2, 5, and 6). The beachfront location couldn’t be better, and the shaded pool under the house was a game changer—it was the perfect place to cool off after a hot day on the sand. We also really appreciated the outdoor shower, which made cleaning up the kids after beach time so much easier.The house itself was incredibly comfortable and well-stocked. The beds were cozy, and we had everything we needed to feel right at home. We’ve stayed at other beachfront properties, but this one truly stood out thanks to the thoughtful layout and features.We loved our time here and will absolutely be back—we usually visit two to three times a year, and this is now at the top of our list!

It was our family staying on the beach between Christmas and new years. We are grandma and grandpa and our three children and their spouses and our grand children were with us. Andrew's Sandbox had the most beautiful view of the gulf. We enjoyed just looking out the 2 extra large windows. The Kids and grandkids loved swimming in the heated pool. We enjoyed having the beach a few steps away. We took advantage of all of us being together and had professional pictures. Thank you for letting us enjoy your home.
