Perfect location

Overall, this stay was so much fun. I would definitely bring my family here again. The location was 10 stars. There was an area on the bottom level of the back porch that had a little sand spot for the kids, and also shallow water of the bay. The kids enjoyed playing, and the parents enjoyed lounging in the morning shade while watching them. The beds were comfy, and there was plenty of room. Only negatives, but nothing that was a deal breaker: Outlets in the master vanity area did not work Dead roaches and snacks under the couch Foul smell and liquid in the fridge upon arrival. The smell of bleach was so strong, it burned your eyes. The dishwasher wouldn’t completely shut. The top drawer seemed to have lost a roller. Several fruit flies (possibly from the dishwasher?) Like I said, none of the above were deal breakers for my family, but those are the only areas that could improve. Thanks for sharing your beautiful property with us!

Great view

Overall the condo was as listed, great view, very convenient being next to a pool. However, the coffee pot had mold in the water line, we just bought a mini keurig of our own to use. The master king bed has an old yellow foam topper on a very aged mattress that was not ideal to sleep on. Now this has nothing to do with the owners or the condos management, but parking in the evenings was a challenge to say the least. Being next to Louisiana Lagniappe as they get extremely busy every evening and the public as well as other Sandpiper residents/guests DO NOT seem to care that they are parking in reserved parking for those units next to the restaurant. As great as the view was, we won't book this condo again.

Charming overlooking bay

This unit was perfect for us. There is the balcony/porch that overlooks the bay and there is a second porch that is ground lever where you can wet a line in the shallow harbor. This unit is clean with new style appliances. We had six in our party, two used the hide-a-way sofa/bed. We all were pleased! The compact washer/dryer is perfect for vacations. Sandpiper Cove is a great property! The only downside to this unit is dealing with the patrons of the Louisiana restaurant parking near the unit, but don’t let this small inconvenience prevent you from renting the property.

Fantastic Harborside Stay

Wonderful, perfectly ideal waterside condo! No negatives here! Tastefully decorated, bright, comfortable condo with well stocked kitchen. Ideal location with a beautiful view of harbor and only a short walk to the beach. Property in excellent location, close to Destin restaurants, shopping and golf courses.

Check In

Property was nice. Given wrong code for checking in. Girl on first call could not help me but she did try and eventually hung up on me. The second lady did eventually get me in and she reset code to the original PIN number. This was not a good experience dealing with this issue while standing outside in the heat.

Wonderful Stay!

This is an amazing property. Me and my family were in Sandpiper Cove for a family reunion, and while everyone’s accommodations were wonderful, this definitely stood out. From the patio overlooking the harbor, the board games and puzzles to the cleanliness…it was truly a magical stay. Thank you for a memorable get away.

Great location and lots to do

This rental is great. Clean. Nice layout. Beautiful views off back porch. Walking distance to beach. Lots of nearby activities like paddle boarding, dolphin cruise, et . Only gave it 4 stars because there was no welcome book to orient us to things like where some of the light switches were (some are inside a pantry) or how TV setup worked. The place was also sparsely stocked. Only one trash bag. Limited kitchen supplies. Overall though those things were minor issues. It was a very nice rental.

Beautiful Location!

Our family loved this location on a quiet section of Destin Harbor. My teens enjoyed fishing from balcony, marina dock, and off the ocean shore. Many swimming opportunities in the pools or short walk to ocean. The harbor view from balcony was beautiful and relaxing. Condo was perfect for our family of 4.

Fantastic spring break.

Perfect property for our 5 and 3 yr olds! Views off the back deck are amazing. Able to go paddle boarding off the back. Beach was private, loved having chairs reserved for us and the service was great. Drove to the beach because of the sand toys and bags. Bought snacks and drinks at the restaurant on the beach. Located close to Target which was great for buying food and a few last minute activities when we had yucky weather. The rental area was private and the main entrance security were extremely helpful and kind. Will definitely rent again!

Beautiful stay in Destin!

Check in was easy, description of the condo was very accurate. Condo was clean, the balcony and deck were such an added bonus. You can fish from right outside your condo. Pool is right next door along with tennis courts. Walk to the beach took about five minutes. Beds are very comfortable, and communication was fast. Thank you for having us, we enjoyed the condo!

Home was beautiful, large, clean, decorated nicely, all the amenities including a heart warming coffee cup made for 'Hey Hey and Na-Na' (sooooo cute). Master and living room opened up to a huge bay balcony with tons of seating. Pools, beach, property were immaculate, security and residents were friendly. Will definitely be returning!

1229 Sandpiper Cove

We had a few issues with finding the light switches for the porch and living room lighting but after 12 hours of searching and getting management involved we finally located the switch in a kitchen locker. On day two the key pad malfunction and that took 2-3 hours to resolved. Dinning room furniture was not big enough to sit a family of 6 down at one time. The living furniture was pretty but not comfy. No safety handles in either of the bathrooms tubs or showers to help elderly feel secure. I loved, loved the location and view. Patio every evening was enchanting. Bed room were comfy. BTW you have a rat problem on the porches .
