We are at 7 minutes' walk from Margaritaville Report. This home is pet-friendly and has a fully fenced-in yard. We do require a $75 pet fee, two pets max. The open concept living/kitchen space is perfect for relaxing, watching your favorite shows, and preparing meals in a kitchen, with all the amenities, including a crockpot. Outside is where you will want to spend all your time from watching our glorious sunrises on the deck having coffee, to sipping your favorite beverages, while enjoying breath-taking sunsets! Downstairs, the covered area is fully fenced, creating a safe environment for the littlest guests and your furry friends. You will find plenty of space for entertaining around the Tiki Bar area while grilling on the charcoal/ gas grill. When the sand and waves start calling out, you're a quick walk, golf cart, or vehicle ride away. After a fun day of playing in the surf and sand, be sure to rinse away everything but your memories in the outdoor shower. A stay at "A Sandy Hope" will leave you hoping for more sandy, fun-filled days. ## Property amenities ### Internet - Available in the house: Free WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Dishwasher - Microwave - Oven ### Bedrooms - 3 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 2 bathrooms - Bathtub or shower - Hair dryer - Shower - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Entertainment - Smart TV ### Outdoor areas - Patio ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Air conditioning ### Pets - Pet friendly - Welcoming dogs only - 2 pets total (up to 50 lbs per pet) ### Suitability/Accessibility - No elevator - Smoking not allowed ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - Fire extinguisher ## Similar properties ![Interior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/93000000/92610000/92607100/92607042/b10d1efd.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Windsical Escape - Charming 2 bedroom with gulf views and minutes to beach!

House was very clean with lots of comfortable beds. The fenced yard was great for my dogs. We will definitely be back. ##### cara w. Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Scott S. Aug 3, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy The house is absolutely perfect, great design and decor inside, big tv for watching my astros in the living and master bedroom, my daughter loved the big bunk beds, the fenced in downstairs was perfect for my dog, location is great as well, just a few minutes walk from the beach, the host was great. She answered any question I had and helped in every way possible. This was our first time using vrbo and renting at the beach. We have stayed with other family before at other cabins but this experience was so much better, the bar has now been set so high we will probably only stay here from now on. We just dont know how it could get any better. Cant give this beach house rental enough praise. You will not be disappointed. I wish i took pictures from inside the house, it is exactly as shown in the listing, listen yall will not be disappointed with this place. ##### Scott S. Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2025
