About this property

2 BR 2 BA Beach Condo 3 min walk to beach 45 Sec walk to hot tubs and pools!

Our condo is a First floor, 2 bedroom 2 bath condo close to the front gate and is a 3 minute walk to the beach and 30 second walk to the main heated pool with three hot tubs. A three minute walk to the restaurant and tennis courts.

Since we purchased, we painted all walls and trim, put in new flooring, and purchased all new furniture and mattresses.

We own a coffee shop and our coffee making equipment in the kitchen is high end.
Espresso machine, Espresso Grinder, Coffee Grinder, French press, and excellent coffee maker (not the 20 dollar Mr. Coffee style). Don't be surprised to find some of our excellent coffee in the cupboard when you arrive.

We have 1100 feet of private beach with our own beachside grill and pavilion. On site kayak and water toy rental. We have five swimming pools three hot tubs and six tennis courts. If boating is your thing, we have a boat dock and launch on site (contact us for more details). We have a FREE nine hole par three pitch and putt golf course that winds through the resort. If you love Cajun food we have the Louisiana Lagniappe restaurant on-site at our marina overlooking the Destin harbor. The grounds of the resort are full of palm trees and beautiful tropical plants and shrubs. Parking is right at your front door (no waiting for elevators). Our unit is 30 seconds from the main heated pool and 3 hot tubs with a view of the duck pond from the kitchen and front balcony area. From the back porch you can see the sand dunes and are 3 minutes from the sand. We are also a 2 minute drive and a 15 minute walk to restaurants and stores. We love it here and know you will too. Talk to you soon.

Spring Break ‘24

We had a great time in Destin again this year! This was our third year at Sandpiper Cove and the first time we’ve stayed in this condo. The location of this unit was perfect for our family as we enjoyed both the beach and the pool each day of our stay and getting to either is quick and easy. We loved the amount of space we had and our kids enjoyed having a room to themselves. We especially loved the high-end coffee and espresso equipment and delicious coffees provided by the owner. He also provided detailed videos on how to work the espresso machine etc which we really appreciated. Kevin was a great host and very responsive to every communication making the whole process a great experience. The unit was clean and tidy when we arrived with the exception of the floors which turned our bare feet black within minutes of our arrival. This wasn’t a big surprise as we’ve had similar experiences at other units - we suspected it’s due to asphalt residue getting tracked in from the parking lot on shoes. The bathrooms could both use some updates but it didn’t bother us. Over all we would definitely rent this unit again and for our family’s needs it’s probably our favorite so far. Having a great host and such a great location goes a long way! Definitely recommend.

Spring break

The condo was equipped with everything that we could possibly need and high quality items. Very comfortable accommodations. Only down side was the large group of families who rented above and beside us. They were not considerate of noise levels. That is out of control of the owners. Absolutely would rent again. Great place and owners.

Just a short walk

This condo is located in a big community with lots of small low-rise buildings. It's a first-floor unit, with parking close by both front and back. It's well maintained, and everything that we tried to use worked just fine. It's just a short walk (or golf cart ride or car ride) across the street to the beach. There is a nice restaurant within the property, and other restaurants just a short walk down the street. There's a big grocery store 1/4-mile away, too. You'll enjoy your stay here.

Absolutely wonderful!

This unit was perfect for our girls trip! Location was great, unit was super clean, well stocked and very comfortable. Beds were comfy. Coffee was amazing! My interactions with the owner were more than I would expect with an owner. He is very easy to talk to and work with and gave us great tips on eating out and exploring the Destin area. Will definitely recommend this unit to friends and will return with my family!

Perfect location

Best location by far! Owner was easy to talk to and always responded quickly. Lots of “extras” for those visiting including several back back beach chairs, a cooler, beach towels, and coffee!! The kitchen has recently been updated and is beautiful, washer and dryer was nice and new. Beds were comfortable. Pool and hot tubs were just around the corner of the condo. Beach access was easy and close! The only downside was the master bathroom needed work, needs updating/removing wall paper that was starting to peel, the ceiling has obviously had water damage from the upper level, and the carpet needs pulled up in the master bedroom and replaced with vinyl or something similar for easy cleaning. Overall is was a great stay and we were all happy and would stay again! You cannot beat this location!

Coffee Lover's Retreat

The condo was very nice and only 2 minutes from the lovely beach. The pool was farther across the complex but also very nice.. The owners also own a coffee shop, and their love and knowledge of coffee is evident in their equipment and coffee priducts in their kitchen. The condo is clean, comfortable, and up to date with technology and appliances. Only complaints are that the picture made the unit appear to be on the canal, but the water is actually across the street and none of the porches are private (all overlook parking lots). Also, the people staying in the unit upstairs were very loud.. They sounded like a herd of elephants! I appreciated the smoothie mix, though!

Love it

My family and I stay at sand piper cove almost every year. We really enjoy that it is a quiet family friendly environment. This unit was no different in that regard. It stood out in terms of extras. The coffee was wonderful and the cappuccino machine was a really nice addition. I would recommend to anyone who wants a relaxed beach vacation. If your looking for a party crowd, maybe try Panama City.

Location can’t be a 5 unless your on the beach

Everything was in good shape and well stocked. The washer and dryer looked brand new and worked greatThere is no outdoor space that has any privacy. In the picture of table with the water in the background the water is across a parking lot, not by the condo. The owner did call to see if I needed more coffee or anything. I am used to a balcony with an ocean view. If you don’t mind no ocean view and walking across the road to the beach you can save a lot of money . Destin is a great place to vacation.

Ideal Location! Lots to Do!

We stayed at 7101 for 5 nights this spring. Overall it was a great condo with lots of activities at Sandpiper to offer(private beach, two chairs and umbrella included, private bar restaurant, pools, hot tub, 9 hole chipping golf course, tennis courts, and close to several other restaurants). The condo was not cleaned on arrival but Kevin(owner) felt terrible and was quick to help find a solution. The listing says its updated, it's not exactly. Some updated appliances. What makes this condo great is 1. The location and 2. the owners passion for his guests to have a great time. He is very personable and has great suggestions for activities. He stocks the condo with extra beach chairs and the espresso machine was a fun addition to the vaca experience. We would stay here again.

About the host

Hosted by Kevin

We live in Atlanta and always wanted a place at the beach. After renting for many years on VRBO, we decided to buy a second property.
We own a coffee shop and the coffee making equipment in the unit is high end.

Why they chose this property

Destin is a great place. Good clean Beaches, Great people, good food.
But the biggest thing is that we had no desire to be in a high rise with 1000 other vacationers and waiting on an elevator half the time. We park steps away from our unit and there are only a few people in our two story building. Perfect getaway.
