Sandpiper Inn

We found this little gem just driving around with our granddaughter no destination in mind but hoping we could find something on the water. This place is a jewel just what we were looking for the rooms were lovely and very clean. The staff Harold, Chris and Ben were very friendly and very accommodating. We absolutely loved it and will definitely be back again.

Couldn't have gotten any better. This place is a unicorn! I HATE staying at the same place twice (actual hotel/motel and geographic location) but the Sandpiper made me rethink that. I can confidently say I would, without question, stay here again. I was OBSESSED with the whole place. The owner or manager perfectly balanced providing prompt service while not being invasive. Basically it was the embodiment of them being available (our drain was really backed up the first day and it ended up just being a catch they had installed needed emptying but the guy immediately tended to it) and giving the guests a wide berth (of you need towels, soap, tp etc... they have a system but there's nobody knocking on your door daily). There's a very affordable ($2) laundry for the guests. The room was clean, had a ton of tv channels (it rained), HOT water and effective a/c. The grounds are very kempt as is the pool. The beach is a thirty second walk, there are towels and chairs and other water accessories for use. If you're considering this property you should finalize your decision. You're not likely to find anything simple and affordable anywhere nearby. This is certainly NOT LUXURY but is simple perfection.

We stayed for our belated anniversary celebration weekend August 20-23. We had a great time! This is my new home away from home now! The rooms are perfect and cozy, nothing fancy, but they are very transparent on their website. I actually LOVE how they have the chairs and umbrellas set up so all you do is go out, find a chair, crank open the umbrella and enjoy! And the wheelchair mat going out to the dune is awesome! I wish more resorts would do this! We spent our time going back and forth between the pool and beach. We really enjoyed the pool, it is the perfect size for a quick dip. The grounds are maintained beautifully as well! Ben was a pleasure to talk with and he made our weekend just that much better. I cannot wait to return ! Thank you for a fantastic weekend !

We love this place so much. The rooms are very clean and well equiped. You stay rught on the beach were it's always quiet. The owner is very friendly and helpfull. Unfortunately we had to leave two days earlier because of the hurricane Helene. We hope they don't have to much damage so they can reopen soon. We'll certainly go back.

I stayed at the Sandpiper Inn on Longboat Key, Florida for just one night on a last-minute trip, and I can honestly say they treated us like we were long-term guests. The location is unbeatable—step out your door, turn right, and within a minute you’re on the beach. The inn provides lounge chairs and umbrellas, which made it so easy to just relax and enjoy the ocean. The owners are some of the sweetest people you’ll ever meet, and it’s clear that their only goal is to make sure their guests are happy and comfortable. The room itself was charming, decorated with adorable beach-inspired touches that gave it a warm, homey feel. If you’re visiting Longboat Key and need a place to stay, I can’t recommend the Sandpiper Inn enough. Whether it’s for one night or an extended getaway, you’ll be treated with care and leave with a smile.

Great little place in heaven. Right on the beach. Good for long stays.

We love the Sandpiper Inn and Longboat Key. This place is perfect. Location and beach. Very quiet and peaceful but above all the rooms are very clean and the staff is amazing. The owners Chris and her husband are so sweet and wonderful. And also Ben. He was so kind and helpful. I highly recommend this place to everyone. Can't wait to be back !

I almost want to keep this wonderful small intimate beach hotel all to myself. Before and after hurricanes. We were here. They just reopened. The Hawaiian like landscaping took a hit and it always takes awhile to grow back. The rooms are super clean and have everything you'd want from home-fully equipped kitchen, even a beach umbrella and a blanket on the sofa! Loved having a walk in shower instead of a tub. Thanks Chris and Harold-the best hhoteliers. PS we had beach chairs(provided) on the powder sand beach and about 5 other people on the private beach!

Harold and Chris are the best. They have worked hard to restore this local treasure back after the hurricane and flood on LongBoat key. The rooms are all updated and still has the friendly staff and at home feel. The landscaping is very nice! The prices are amazing for this ocean dreamland. The views are the best! I am going to try to return years after years. I stay a week or more each time. These were the pictures from a few years ago and im sure will return to this and even better. I am staying from the 1 to the 8th and already having a great time!

This place was like stepping back into time where guests are valued! The owners are amazing. The room was clean and well maintained. The view from the room was to die for. The beach was not crowded at all. Was the perfect location for a quick romantic getaway. Can’t wait for our next visit here!
