This was our 5th time staying at the Sand Piper. It is our home away from home. You are living on the ocean. It is not a hotel, so you have a quiet friendly atmosphere. It is an easy drive to Daytona, Disney, Sea World, The Space Center. Several malls for shopping. All within a 1-2 hour drive. I drove up to St. Augustine and spent the day with a friend. You can see Sea turtles coming in to lay eggs, NO flashlight, Please. They are big enough to see even on a very dark night, without lights. the young one swim in the ocean with you. Be sure to take your binoculars. They work well for seeing the cruise ships, dolphins, sea turtles. At times the coral can make it rough to swim, Cocoa is 10 minutes down the road with wonderful beaches for swimming and surfing.
The pitcures are up to date, You are getting a clean, newly remodeled, spacious apartment.You have the little extras like soap shampoo and cleaning supplies. The grounds on the Sandpiper is well maintained, and clean.

My family and I were staying in this beautiful condo for one week. We felt like home, everything was nicely decorated and very clean - everything looks even better than on the pics. I´ve stayed in some oceanfront hotels in this area (Doubletree and Crown Plaza) but this apartment tops them by far. There was so much space and the oceanfront location was really oceanfront - Any closer and you would get wet and sandy!
By using the Pineda Causeway the I-95 is easy to reach and you´ll be at the Orlando Int. airport in less than one hour. Everything else is located within a 10 minute drive, even Cocoa Beach is only 15 mins away!
During the week there was nobody at the pool and on the beach except us, at the weekend there were a few families, but very very far away from crowded (although it was Memorial Day!).
The beach was very clean, also the water was clean and warm but everyone be careful, there is a small stone shelf in the foot deep water and we all hurt our toes at the first day (as far as I know this shelf ends a few miles south).
The building has maybe seen better days but everything works well and we found everything we needed.
I only can recomend this condo to everyone, it´s so spacious and everything is brand new - and it´s cheaper than any hotel room!
Thank you Becky!

There is no closer beach view in all of Satellite Beach! This unit has a straight on view of the ocean, and especially at high tide, you really do feel like you are on a ship while sitting on the screened balcony. The condo itself is very newly remodeled. Baths and kitchen have lovely high-end fixtures, cabinets and counters. Durable beach-appropriate flooring throughout - no carpet! The unit was clean on arrival and was well-stocked with cooking supplies, towels and a couple of beach chairs. The negatives in the unit are few and would not stop us from renting again. We did not find the mattresses to be very comfortable and the bedspreads and linens have probably seen better days. A king size bed instead of a queen in the master would be nice. Some wall hooks by the front door and hooks behind the bathroom doors would be a helpful addition as there was no place to quickly hang a coat, hat, bathrobe, towel, etc. A swimsuit drying line or rack in the shower or on the balcony would also be convenient. The pool and common areas were well maintained and everyone we met was friendly and welcoming. No problems with noise or rowdy groups. The building is located just south of the Air Force base (undeveloped beach) and there are no hotels nearby, so the beach is quiet and uncrowded. Close to shopping and restaurants. We very much enjoyed our stay and will return!
