“Simply great”

Reviewed 18 May 2013

Private beach, pleasant host, walking distance from great restaurants, what more can you ask for? When I tried to make reservations the minimum stay was three days, but we could not spend more than 2, I contacted the innkeeper and it took no time to get the 2 days. And the place was full, so it was not just to... More

“What a great place!”

Reviewed 29 April 2013 via mobile

We were looking for a small, family run beach cottage and that is exactly what the Sandpiper is all about. We were welcomed by Chris and her little dogs and made to feel right at home. A wonderful location right on the beach, it is quiet and beautiful. Recently renovated cottages, very well equipped and comfortable with a couple of... More

“Paradise.”

Reviewed 16 April 2013 via mobile

This is our 3rd stay here, and quite simply, Longboat key is the BEST place to be in Florida, and the Sandpiper Inn is the BEST place to stay! A piece of old Florida, with secluded beach steps from your door. Excellent restaurants nearby. Only eleven units. Has a personal touch you seldom see any more. If you enjoy Florida's... More

“Laid Back Tropical Accomodations”

Reviewed 8 April 2013

Stayed three nights at this cozy, clean, and laid back tropical Inn. Accommodations are very spacious, and having the kitchen was excellent. We also used the grills in the central patio area. The grounds are absolutely lovely, and if this place doesn't put you in a relaxed, flip-flops kind of mood, I'm not sure what would. Beach access is right... More

“Great stay on the beach!”

Reviewed 3 March 2013 via mobile

Nice clean suite. No smoking policy everywhere which we enjoyed. We could cook our own meals. Nice sandy beach to walk on. There are chairs on the beach and a covered area with a picnic table. Good restaurants close by.

“Gem of a vacation”

Reviewed 6 January 2013

In December of 2012, my family and I had the good fortune of selecting The Sandpiper Inn in Longboat Key as our destination spot this year. All six of us loved the setting which was right on the Gulf, as well as our proprietors, Chris and Harold. The location is a tropical paradise and the individual cottages were clean, and... More

“Ideal vacation spot in LBK”

Reviewed 19 December 2012

This was our first time here at LBK and our stay at the Sandpiper was wonderful. The rooms were spacious, updated and very clean. It was really charming and the gulf-side location of the Inn is ideal. The management is very helpful with suggestions about shopping, dining options, directions, etc. It is very quiet and an ideal spot for relaxing.... More

“Pros & Cons”

Reviewed 10 December 2012

Pros: I will start by saying the location and the grounds are absolutely beautiful and charming. It is a bit like a bed and breakfast without the breakfast. The beach is lovely and private and that is the best thing about this resort. The rooms are spacious, with a separate living room, kitchen and bedroom; AC worked great and was... More

My husband & I have been restoring this beautiful garden setting, directly on the gulf, "Old Florida" property since we saved it from becoming a single family home in 2005. In the last year, we did major renovations to... More

“Heaven on Earth!”

Reviewed 8 November 2012

This is our yearly "vacation destination" but - unfortunately - we were unable to visit in 2011 due to a family member having had recent surgery. However, we've kept in touch with the owners/managers and have looked at the updates to the facility on the website and counted the days until we went back. We have always been major fans... More
