Great location--close to everything & beach!
We really enjoyed our stay at this property! It was comfortable for our family of 6 ppl, not super updated, but it worked. The lazy river was fun! Beds were really comfortable! The bunk beds though need some attention as they could use painting. They look very worn from both sides and seemed a bit unstable at first, but they were actually OK. Location was great as it's convenient to both Destin & Ft. Walton, beach across street, restaurants, Target, CVS. Cons: Being in a beach town and touting a lazy river and then NOT PROVIDING BEACH TOWELS is a real negative, especially when traveling by plane. We had to go and find/buy towels which added to expenses, time, frustration. We also had issues with the Hamilton Beach Keurig-style coffee pot--kept giving us errors. The owners were quick to get us another one, but it was the same brand and didn't really work any better--takes a long time to heat up and wasn't easy bc the second one you could only add as much water as the amount of coffee you wanted, but we didn't know that---it wasn't written any where. If you added more water than say 8 oz, the cup would overflow. We were there for a wedding so we needed to get wrinkles out of our clothing. The iron was basic and didn't steam, but it worked ok, however, the ironing board had a cover, but no padding so it left the xxxx pattern from the metal ironing board on our clothing. I had to go over everything again with damp cloth. Overall, a good place to stay!

Family getaway
We rented 3 condos at the resort. Two were on the ocean side, one on the bay side. All inits were very clean and had everything well stock. Location was close to grocery stores, restaurants, and had lots of fun due. Our ages were from 2 years old to 76. There was something for everyone! The fireworks Wednesday nite were awsome!

Family Fun in the Florida Sun
It was an amazing trip for our family. Some of us had not been on vacation in over five years. We really enjoyed our stay in the Sandpiper - the rooms were spacious, nice sized kitchen and living room area and loved the deck. We also really enjoyed the lazy river and pools. We went down there daily. Also, enjoyed the beach too and it was a quick walk over to it. The beach was so nice with the white sand and water. We are from Minnesota so we really enjoyed this time away. It was a wonderful place to stay and met all of our needs. We will definitely be coming back for another visit.

Nice resort, false advertising on listing
The resort & unit were nice. They advertised/pictured 2 sets of bunk beds. However, there was only 1 set in room. 2 teenagers had to sleep on sofa sleeper in the living room. Inconvenient when others woke up earlier & having living room our of commission until they woke up & we were able to put bed back into sofa.

Wonderful place!
This condo was wonderful, we were in town for a wedding at another resort. The other resort was very difficult to work with and they kept changing the cost, which made us look elsewhere. What a lucky thing, the location, views and facility were perfect. This unit was set up very nicely and clean, two bedrooms plus a third room with bunk beds, the kitchen had everything needed, we only had to supply the food. The pool was fabulous, many pools, hot tubs all very clean. We watched the staff each morning scrub everything down and arrange for another fun day. The beach on the gulf was one of the nicest we have ever been on.

About the host

Host profile image
I'm Peggy and I love the Gulf Coast and this wonderful 2 Bedroom plus Bunk Bed room, 5th floor condo. Staying in a 5th floor condo makes a BIG DIFFERENCE with Great Views. We have a passion to pay first-hand, special attention to this property, unlike some mega rental company. We make sure this condo is at it's best for your enjoyment. I know you will love this beautiful unit as you sit on the living room balcony viewing the Lazy River, Water-Fall and Zero-Entry Pools, Hot Tubs and Bay. Now there is a new Marina that goes our 400 ft into the Bay. You and your family can fish from or just walk-on to enjoy the great water.

Why they chose this property

My family and I really wanted to own a place that offered something special from the ordinary. After a long time of searching it was clear that Destin West offered amenities and features not found anywhere in the Northern Gulf Coast area. When a Sanpiper 502 came available, it was crystal clear that this was what we were looking for. No Better views exist of the Bay and the Gulf. We have gone over board to make sure the condo is sparkling clean and well appointed. Come let us show you how pleased you will be to select Sandpiper 502 as you destination choice.
