Sandpiper's Song is a charming, beautiful house. I believe I was the first renter since it was sold, and so I believe some of the problems I encountered were due to the company having just acquired the place. Pros: very well-equipped and pretty house. 2. The quiet neighborhood and beach. I love how Indian Pass, even in this more built-up area, still has so few people on the beach! Cons: 1. There are bears who roam the neighborhood at night. They turn over and go through the trash cans. The stars at this property are amazing, but I was afraid to take my small dog on the leash at night, lest she become bait on a line. 2. The HOA has trouble picking up the trash on schedule. Coastal Joe has nothing to do with that, but I think, given the problems with the bears, etc., that they might spend time talking to the HOA people about it. 3. The internet is in and out. We were told to restart the router. We had to restart the router every few hours, and, sometimes, that did not fix the seemed to correlate with the number of people in the community (when most left after Labor Day, I had very few problems). 4. They are constructing so many new houses, and they have moved the beach path. I'm 72, and so the trek was very tiring, especially on 90 degree+ days! 5. The house had two keys. The lock was old, and it was the type that you had to jiggle and jiggle and jiggle until it eventually slipped into working order I called Coastal Joe when I couldn't get in once, and they sent around someone who left two "new" keys on the porch for me. The new keys worked as well as the old. We wound up just leaving the place unlocked from then on. I couldn't call Coastal Joe (nor they me), because my phone didn't work at the house (my roommates' did). I felt a bit disrespected. 6. Finally, Coastal Joe is hard to get in touch with. If my phone worked at the house, it may have been different.
