We had so much fun during our stay on Sandpiper 1! Everything was so clean. We appreciated all the little extra things, like the beach wagon, beach chairs, kayaks, and lending book library.... and really appreciated the private outdoor shower with hot water, along with the hose to rinse off all our beach things.
The beds and furniture were comfortable and there was plenty of space for us all to sit together and play games or watch a movie. We had a loss of internet due to a storm and took out the modem, but JT worked with us and provider to get us up and working again.
Really, the only complaints we had are super minor... would have loved to have had bath mats in the bathrooms, a couple more towels, and more than 4 coffee cups. :)
Overall it was a great stay and would definitely stay here again.

Jt is a helpful and friendly host who offered clear and accurate information of their home. The home is tucked away near the little canal which is perfect for kayaking, crabbing and fishing off the dock (2 nice kayaks and crabbing equipment available) . The home is comfortably placed within walking distance from the public beach access (beach chairs, umbrellas, beach cart and boogie boards and sandcastle toys were also available) . Best of both worlds. The kitchen has lots of cooking utensils, dish and cookware to meet a variety of cooking styles. Comfortable bedrooms, and living room furniture to relax and unwind out of a busy day visiting the beach or shopping. Outside deck was great for sunrise coffee moments over the canal and late evening rest upstairs and / or game night or hangout downstairs areas. Outdoor shower is both hot and cold water. We celebrated a major milestone birthday, babies first beach vacay and our wedding anniversary. Highly recommend this stay and fabulous host

Perfect location, clean, and comfortable! Had an issue with the WiFi and JT called and helped us solve it quickly. Very kind and responsive. I would love to stay again!

This beach house was an absolute dream! Located just a short stroll from the sparkling Gulf Shores coastline, it offered the perfect blend of luxury and laid-back charm. Every detail in the home was clearly curated with care—from beach gear and canal essentials to cozy indoor touches that made us feel instantly at ease.
We especially loved starting our mornings kayaking through the peaceful canal—a serene experience that added a unique twist to our beach vacation.
JT was a phenomenal host, always quick to respond and genuinely thoughtful. It’s clear he takes pride in making sure guests have everything they need—and then some!
Already counting down the days until we can return to this slice of paradise. Highly recommend to anyone wanting relaxation with a splash of adventure.

We had a great stay at JT’s place! The house was spotless and had everything we needed for our stay. The house was walkable to beach access and a lot of great restaurants! We look forward to coming back to Gulf Shores very soon!

We had a great stay at Sandpiper 2! My fiancé and I took the trip down from Atlanta with another couple and were comfortable the entire time. The house had everything we needed and the beach was a short walk away. Being so close to the restaurants like The Hangout made walking to dinner very comfortable. JT was extremely responsive and even checked in daily to make sure we didn't need anything. We would definitely stay here again on our next beach vacation!

The Sandpiper was a great 9 day stay. We took our kayaks and forgot the paddles but thankfully J.T. has some for use which saved us.
We wanted this house last year but it booked up so we planned early and we’re glad we did.
Anything from the gas grill, pots for shrimp boil, to the griddle for pancakes, this was a perfect set up. 2 blocks from the beach or food and the outdoor shower was perfect for rinsing with warm water to get the sand off of you before kicking back on the front deck.
Needless to say, my family is ready to go back next year.

J.T. thank you 😊 for being an awesome host. My family and I enjoyed everything about our stay at Sandpiper Ii. I loved sitting and grilling by the lagoon. The space felt warm and welcoming to everyone in my family. I have visited the area 5 years now and your space has been the favorite 😍. I have and will recommend your place to family and friends. Thanks again J.T. for the hospitality and kindness.

JT was a great host and his property was exactly what we needed for an amazing girls weekend away. We rotted on the beach, relaxed at the house, cooked our meals in a well stocked and clean kitchen. We had a great time and would recommend JT and his house to anyone looking for a walkable, local feel.

We enjoyed our stay and was very happy with the house. JT responded within a reasonable amount of time when we got in touch with him. The host thought of everything to accommodate guests even having extension cords on both sides of the beds and in the living room. Having the beach chairs available to use was great. The location of the house was within walking distance of food, souvenir shops but especially the beach. I would highly recommend this place to anyone visiting Gulf Shores. I would definitely stay at this location again.
Thank you for sharing your home with us for the week!
