1350 Sandpiper is owner-managed. Every dollar a booking platform would take as a guest service fee stays in your pocket when you reserve here — same waterfront house, same private pool and hot tub, same calendar.
Check dates & book Why direct is better here
No platform service fee
Booking sites add a guest service fee on top of the nightly rate — commonly 12–15% of the stay. Booking here removes that layer entirely, so the same dates cost less for the same house.
You talk to the owners
Questions about the pool, the bulkhead, tides, boat parking or an early arrival go straight to us. No support queue, no scripted reply, no middle layer relaying answers.
The same live calendar
Availability here is synced to the same booking feed the platforms read, so what you see open is genuinely open. Nothing is held back or double-listed.
Flexible, written terms
Split payments, pool heating in winter, a longer snowbird stay, or a check-out time that fits your drive home — we can put it in writing instead of forcing a template.
What you pay, and when
No surprises at check-out. These are the same terms shown on the booking form, in plain language.
- Short-term stays (March 1 – August 31)
- Three-night minimum. If your check-in is more than 60 days out you pay 50% at booking and the balance 60 days before arrival. Inside 60 days the full amount, including the $299 exit cleaning fee, is due at booking. Texas hotel occupancy tax (6% state + 9% city) applies to stays under 30 nights.
- Long-term stays (September 1 – February 28)
- Thirty-night minimum. Your $500 deposit, the $299 exit cleaning fee and the first month's rent of $4,995 are due at booking, then each following 30-day period is paid the month it begins. Stays of 30 nights or more are exempt from Texas hotel occupancy tax.
- Optional pool heating (winter only)
- $55 per night, available for check-ins September 1 – February 28. It must cover the entire stay and needs a week's notice so the pool is up to temperature when you walk in.
- Cancellations
- Emergency evacuation is always covered. Otherwise: 60+ days out is a full refund, 31–60 days is 50%, 16–30 days is 25%, and inside 15 days there is no refund — with the option of a rebooking credit instead of a refund for a stay that begins and ends in the same calendar year.
