Spring break on the beach

Beautiful, well appointed home right on the beach! Incredible view! We enjoyed relaxing on the porch or in the gazebo! Firepit on the beach. House is very clean! Comfortable beds! Lots of games for family fun around the large table! Quiet location but close to lots of activities! Elevator really convenient for loading and unloading! An amazing place to relax and unwind with family! We would definitely return!

Perfect getaway

This is an amazing property. The house is clean with every detail well thought of. The beach is very private. Lots of places to explore nearby during the day. I've rented many vrbos and this one definitely ranks among the best of them. Thank you for a great stay!

Cleanliness

For a cleaning fee of $250.00 one would expect the house to be clean upon entering. There was literally dust and dirt so thick you could see it on the wood flooring. A couple pieces of trash were in the floor as well as a hair clip and under the bed were a pair of pants. I’m not sure what the cleaning fee was actually for as we had to wash all dishes, do all laundry and take the trash to the road before leaving and the house was not clean when we arrived. It’s a beautiful home in a great spot but very disappointed in the cleanliness of the home and the leaky roof in three different spots and due to the leaky roof our dinner was interrupted as it started raining on my husband inside the home. This was our second visit to this home in 3 years. We love the house and the location and we had planned to vacation here every two years but due to our last and very disappointing experience I doubt we will rent this home in the future, approx. $2600.00 for the week to get rained on, ugh.

About the host

Hosted by Lisa Drew-Authement

My name is Clay Gillespie. My wife Irene and I have been very happily married for 29 years. We have 4 children, triplets (two girls and a boy) and another boy. It has definitely been a whirlwind raising 4 children who are all within a year apart, but we wouldn't change a thing.

I grew up in a small Louisiana town called Ponchatoula - about 90 minutes from the Sandhill Beachhouse. I attended college at Southeastern Louisiana University in Hammond, Louisiana. Shortly after college, I moved (of all places) to Cherry Hill, New Jersey. That's where I met the love of my life - Irene, a Jersey Girl - born and bred.

We raised our family in a suburb of Chicago called Arlington Heights. 3 Years ago, we moved to Franklin, TN (outside of Nashville), where we currently reside.

Why they chose this property

We own both Sandhill Beachhouse as well as the Seagrass Beach Cottage just next door. I immediately fell in love with both of these properties, their charm and character, not to mention the serenity of their own private beach right on the Gulf of Mexico. Our favorite part of Sandhill is the oversized covered back porch, where we can sit all day, taking in the breathtaking views and sounds of the ocean.

Ultimately, Irene and I plan to retire here, but in the meantime, we are pleased to share our home as a vacation rental property.

What makes this property unique

The most desirable benefit of Sandhill Beachhouse is, well, the BEACH! It sits on its own private natural white sand beach. The sounds and views of the Gulf are absolutely spectacular, whether taking them in from the oversized back porch, the gazebo on the beach, or from your beach chair right on the water.

The home itself is a charming southern beauty, with open floor plan, soaring ceilings, and spacious rooms. Oh, and the elevator is pretty cool as well.
