Peaceful beautiful property

My husband and I enjoyed our stay. The house and property were beautifully maintained. It was very peaceful. Enjoyed walking the beach. We even used the fire pit and Adirondack chairs on the beach even though it was cool. Very thoughtful touches and amenities. Kitchen was very well equipped for eating in. Loved the views from the porch and gazebo. Secluded but easy access to anything we needed. Even played some of the board games in the closet. Checkin checkout process was a breeze and Clay was a pleasure to work with. Thank you for sharing your home away from home.

Perfectly Magical

This was our second stay at Sandhill (we've stayed three times at properties managed by the owners) and it was wonderful once again. We were slightly worried this trip might not live up to the first, but that fear was definittley misplaced! The house was very clean, very well-presented and well-appointed. It was the perfect setting for everything we wanted to do for our beach vacation.

Perfect Getaway

The photos really don't do the place justice- the home is stunning! Such a beautiful place, clean and comfortable amenities, and the layout allows the perfect setup for lots of space, as well as the opportunity for gatherings. We loved the porch views, the private beach, roasting smores on the beach at night, and kayaking with porpoises. We hope to get the chance to return!

Great stay!

House was great! Updated and beautiful! Right on the beach! The house was very well stocked, beds were very comfortable and house was very clean! We loved having two refrigerators! The fishing was good! The water was pretty brackish when we were there but I’m told it’s not always like that. Beach was great! So peaceful and quiet! The water is shallow for a long ways out (nothing over 7 ft for as far out as our kayaks went) we enjoyed catching shrimp and crabs in our cast nets! And had a fire right on the beach! Definitely one of our best vacations full of memories!

Beautiful Home

This beach house was even better than pictured. Beds, furnishings, appliances, many other details that the host has included to make your stay wonderful and seamless.The hosts were easy to get a hold of when needed and very attentive. Beach biting flies were avoided when we realized they only came out when water was still and at certain times of day. Everyone enjoyed their stay!

A Hidden Gem

Spent 7 nights at this hidden gem…the home is beautiful and having the private beach as your backyard is AMAZING!! Some of the pros..because there are WAY too many to list them all! The charm of the home ♥️ !! The elevator is a big plus with loading and unloading. The covered back deck offers the most serene moments and amazing views! The home is well stocked..so many spices for cooking, dishwasher tabs, first aid kit, beach towels, condiments in the refrigerator, well stocked pots/pans, and the list could go on and on but there is a limit on the amount you can type😂. A few things to know before you go, but NOTHING that should deter you..The water in the home is well water and is soft water…so your skin will be soft 😊 BUT it feels like the soap doesn’t wash off. We aren’t use to that but again it isn’t anything that would stop us from returning. The dishwasher struggles to get the dishes clean but this also may result from the soft water…we just rinsed the dirty dishes well before running the dishwasher or washed them by hand…again not a big issue to us. The gulf water is not clear…We never spend a lot of time IN the water at any beach, I just like to put my chair where the water meets the sand, still got to do this..so again not a big issue for us. We had the best week and I HIGHLY recommend staying at Sandhill!! Thank you Clay and Irene for sharing your beautiful home with us and giving us the chance to spend this family time together ♥️ We will DEFINITELY be back!!

Last minute impromptu trip

This house is beautiful and very comfortable. We absolutely loved being kind of secluded on our own little beach area. It’s about a 30 minute drive to go eat around Biloxi but it’s worth it for sure! Beds are comfy too that’s a big plus! Wear shoes outside they have stickers in the yard! lol the only thing is they need to kind of clean their side of the beach as there were sticks and wood but other than that it was totally perfect.

The O C

The property was beautiful. House equipped with everything we needed. The lift was amazing for luggage and groceries, also for taking trash down. The things that were not in favor… thorns in the yard, don’t go barefoot. The private beach was great not having to go down to the beach early to put up everyone chair out. Does need blankets for pull out couch and roll away. Make sure you get downtown, with all the quaint shops and restaurants. Hope your stay is as wonderful as ours.

Beautiful, well appointed home right on the beach! Incredible view! We enjoyed relaxing on the porch or in the gazebo! Firepit on the beach. House is very clean! Comfortable beds! Lots of games for family fun around the large table! Quiet location but close to lots of activities! Elevator really convenient for loading and unloading!

Cleanliness

For a cleaning fee of $250.00 one would expect the house to be clean upon entering. There was literally dust and dirt so thick you could see it on the wood flooring. A couple pieces of trash were in the floor as well as a hair clip and under the bed were a pair of pants. I’m not sure what the cleaning fee was actually for as we had to wash all dishes, do all laundry and take the trash to the road before leaving and the house was not clean when we arrived. It’s a beautiful home in a great spot but very disappointed in the cleanliness of the home and the leaky roof in three different spots and due to the leaky roof our dinner was interrupted as it started raining on my husband inside the home. This was our second visit to this home in 3 years. We love the house and the location and we had planned to vacation here every two years but due to our last and very disappointing experience I doubt we will rent this home in the future, approx. $2600.00 for the week to get rained on, ugh.

About the host

Hosted by Irene Gillespie

Host profile image
Hi! I’m Clay Gillespie. My wife Irene and I have been happily married for 30 years, and we're parents of four amazing adult children. Originally from Ponchatoula, Louisiana, I’ve always loved the serenity and character of the Mississippi Gulf Coast. After raising our children in Illinois and a move to Franklin, Tennessee, we have found our happy place in Ocean Springs, Mississippi. We take pride in hosting and ensuring your stay feels like a true escape.

Why they chose this property

We own both Sandhill Beachhouse and Seagrass Beach Cottage right next door. We fell in love with the natural beauty and tranquility of this stretch of beach. The private setting, gentle waves, and stunning views from our oversized porch sealed the deal. The Belle Fontaine beach neighborhood is quiet, peaceful, and tucked away from the crowds, yet close to everything. It’s our dream retirement spot—and in the meantime, we’re thrilled to share it with you.

What makes this property unique

What sets Sandhill apart? True oceanfront privacy. You’re not sharing beach access, stairs, or crowded walkways—this is YOUR beach. The elevated porch is perfect for soaking in the views with a coffee or cocktail. Inside, you’ll love the open floor plan, antique wood floors, and luxury touches throughout. Bonus? The elevator makes coming and going a breeze.
