Sandpiper Lodge

Sandpiper Lodge

8/10 Good
"We were in town for graduation and lodging met our needs. We would stay here again. Only issue we had was the parking spaces are way too narrow. We had a small SUV rental and couldn’t imagine parking a bigger vehicle in between the parked spaces. And, I’m a smaller built person that had to squeeze out the small car door opening."
