Spring Break 2025 - Family Retreat

Our family of four with two young kids enjoyed the stay. Pool was heated, hot tubs, lazy river & short walk to the ocean. Condo was clean & well appointed. Stewby’s was great nearby & the crab trap was a fun night out too. Didn’t fish in the marina but that was a great perk.Overall a wonderful stay & would definitely stay again.

Our first trip to Florida!

We had an absolutely amazing time! The condo was so clean and the kitchen fully stocked. It was great to have a home base that was comfortable and had everything we needed and then to be able to enjoy the beach, pools, and other attractions as well. Would recommend to anyone! Our family had young kids and they all loved the condo and are already asking when we can go back. Thank you for a great week on the beach!

Perfect vacation

We had a wonderful week on Okaloosa Island. The condo was absolutely perfect and our week could not have been better. We loved the lazy river, fished a little in the marina, and spent several relaxing days at the beach. Our condo had everything we could possibly need. It was the ideal place to enjoy a week of rest and relaxation. We can't wait to return next year!

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.

Beautiful condo and views. Everything we needed and so comfortable. Great location.

Condo was large and beautifully decorated. Appliances new, don’t think oven had ever been used. Master bedroom and bath very large and bed comfy. Abundance of very hot water. Everything very clean. And stocked with all we needed. The bay view from living room and master suite was stunning and you can see ocean from guest bedroom. The extra bunk room was cute and roomy. It was a wonderful place to spend two weeks. The walkway to beach is handy and the beach is awesome. In January our weather was not perfect and we had some inside days but we relaxed and enjoyed the view. And when we did get out it was wonderful. The beaches there can not be beat. We liked walking around Harborwalk Village and did walk Mirimar Beach. Parking at condo is easy, large outdoor lot and covered parking as well. The complex is kept clean and well maintained. The lazy river, which condo overlooks, is lit with changing colors at nite- so pretty. The owners are easy to work with and very friendly. We enjoyed our stay very much and would not hesitate to book here again. The location is over the bridge from Destin but quiet and very easy to find. And you can be in Destin or Mirimar Beach in minutes. And Pensacola an hour away. We liked being away from crowded Destin by the bridge. We hope to be back when weather a bit more “user friendly “ - Fort Walton Beach is wonderful. And this condo is awesome.

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!

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.
