Just spent two weeks here. Accomodation is right on the beach. The beach is just beautiful and so quiet and peaceful. Much better than being on a public beach. The accomodation is fine, our room was very clean on arrival. One thing I would have liked was a welcome pack with a couple of tea bags and some milk or... More

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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: 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
