Yes! The sandy soil which absorbs moisture quickly, but it also erodes very easily. Erosion underneath your home can cause all sorts of costly issues from foundation settlement to structural failure. Properly installed gutters with downspouts and extensions will carry the bulk of the storm water away from the home and prevent long term erosion.
Also, if you do not have gutters to direct the water, rainwater will run down the side of your home. This can cause moisture intrusion in the wall, which can lead to rot and mold.
