Sandpiper Lodge

Sandpiper Lodge

8/10 Good
"The rooms were very pleasantly configured and furnished. The staff were friendly and helpful. The room did not get cleaned one day, but it was an error and they cleaned it as early as possible the next day. The location was convenient, so Sandpiper Lodge made a great home base."
