Condo was very nice and clean. It had everything we needed which made it very comfortable staying there. Close to pool, tennis court, restaurant, etc. Beach was a very close walk. Shopping around the corner. This was our 3rd visit with Sandpiper Cove and we will return.

Photographs Great, Needs Little Details

This VRBO was in the perfect location for our girls weekend. Luckily it was not booked before our trip, so we were able to check in a few hours early. Property management was wonderful. I think this was a recent listing as there were still tags on items from Marshall’s, TJ Maxx, etc. We had issues with holes in the wall behind the doors, faucet handles literally falling off when turning on the faucet and towel rods falling off when removing a towel. One of the bar stools seats literally was not screwed in and fell off as someone went to sit on it. No dishwasher detergent or pods provided, no paper towel, etc. would have been nice just for a days worth until we’re ready to go to the store. Living room is smaller than shown online, but decorated nicely. Beds were extremely comfortable, property amenities were nice. Parking was plentiful. In the loft area, there was a lack of chargers for those using the top bunks. Also there were no shades for the loft area so as soon as the sun rose it was extremely bright. As a warning, the loft has no door so any noise from the living room can be heard up to the loft. Overall was a decent stay for the short time I was there. Not sure I would stay at this unit again, but loved Destin and would stay in these condos.

Villa #2

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The Villa was nice and clean. Love that it had been updated. A couple of things I wasn't satisfied with were minor. The washer was up too high to reach in and get clothes out. I felt the washer and dryer should swap places to allow easier access. The shower in bedroom off the kitchen was too small and the shower head did not move and when showering you were up against wall. I didn't feel that there were enough kitchen items for cooking use. No baking sheets, not enough utensils etc. It was a very nice villa and would use again.

Spacious Cute Condo

The photos didn’t do justice. This condo is adorably furnished with a great layout. The open living room is a fantastic place for groups to hangout and play games. The kitchen was a large enough space for several to cook and mingle at the bar seats. The bathrooms were spacious for getting ready. We spent a morning out on the balcony and weren’t too bothered by gnats though it is on a small pond that does not receive the sea breeze that usually keeps these pests at bay. A great location, close to the Harbor Walk. Private beach was a big plus! No complaints for this place from a big group of girls. The checkout process was super easy as well.

Beautiful home

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The perfect home away from home! The location was great with active boys! They stayed plenty busy between the pickleball courts and golfing. The beach was a small walk away. My only complaint is the lack of cooking supplies! We ended up buying a pan and leaving it there. The condo could use pans and pots. Other than that, this place was perfect for our needs! Thank you for sharing your home with us.

Family Oriented

The condo was nice and decorated perfectly! You can tell the condo had been recently updated and it showed! It had lots of little touches that made it the perfect beach getaway. It was as spacious and accommodated our family well. It was very convenient to the beach and also offered non-beach activities. My only complaint was the mattress in our room. It was too soft! My husband and I had to accommodate by using cushions from from the couch.

A Beautiful Condo

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: My family thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Sandpiper Cove. This is the 4th time I have rented a condo there and I will continue to come back. This place was beautiful. The pictures are great, but being there inside the condo was amazing! The owners paid special attention to making the place comfortable.Our only criticism is that if you like to cook, there were only two pans, both in poor shape and no large pot. It would have been great to have a griddle or a toaster, even a cookie sheet for the oven. Also, having a roll of paper towels would have been nice too. It was difficult to prepare meals for a family of six with such limited supplies.Other than that, we enjoyed our stay very much and will return.

Lovely Vacation Home!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: What an awesome place to stay. It worked so well for us and our kids. The remodel is beautiful. We loved the location. Close to the pickle ball and tennis courts, not far from the golf course and just a short walk to the beach. Our only minor complaint is that the "full kitchen" could use a few more things. The dishes were just cheap and plastic, which is ok. But there wasn't a toaster, a bowl to mix a salad or cut up fruit into, no baking sheets or pans for the oven, no basic spices - salt or pepper. Those things would be nice to have but otherwise we had no complaints!

LAST STAY AT THIS VILLA

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We recently stayed at this Villa from Oct. 12- 18th for the 2nd time. We stayed there also last Oct. 2020. When we stayed a year ago, we had noticed that it was not being kept up very well, mainly regarding the need of purchasing new deck furniture. The wicker tables were busted thru last year & not usable & there was no table at all on any deck for your family to sit at. Just recently on this trip. We found the busted sidetables had been removed & were not replaced. This Villa sleeps 10 but there is no where to enjoy sitting outside except for a 2 seater love seat on the two upper decks & 2 single chairs on the large lower deck as one plastic one was broken & not usable. Other Villas have picnic tables, hammocks & swings... We really couldn't enjoy the decks with the scarce few pieces. Also the bath door off the kitchen is hard to open, it drags & was like that last year. Other things are showing wear as well... like the Kitchen return air grate & cracking along the wall in living area near the ceiling..the kitchen faucet leaked bad & we had to put a bowl underneath & left a note at checkout. LOVE staying at Sandpiper Cove & have for many years & never have left a bad review, but this one needs some TLC & DEFINITELY needs outdoor furnishings. A small thing I would suggest as well is a towel bar in bathrooms instead of just a hook to help guest hang multiple towels to reuse. Also, kitchen utensils need to be looked at... no dry mess. Cups to speak of or mess. Spoons... needs to be checkied periodically that it has all the basics.

Good location - major updating needed

Rating Details: The property manager was adequately helpful. The vacation rental was very dirty. I was very happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We enjoyed the grounds of the community. Pool was close and great for the kids, beach access was easy. Having beach chairs and an umbrella was a huge perk. The condo was a huge let down. The floors were so dirty my kids feet were dirty after walking 5 minutes of checking in. Had a swiffer but no swiffer sheets. Paint chipping on the walls throughout the house. Not enough cable remotes. The bathroom door off the kitchen didn't open properly and my youngest got his toe hurt. Duck tape was used in the upstairs shower. For the price and pictures we hoped for better. I took pictures of everything for proof. We would stay at the community again, but not Condo #0002.

Worn out property

Love Sandpiper Cove but this property is in need of a makeover. Condo was filthy on check in with trash on floors that didn’t appear to be vacuumed. Shower leaked all weekend making it impossible to sleep. Called the office and no one ever showed up to fix it. Furniture looks original to 30 year old property. Condo is all original with broken tiles, ceiling fans that make noise all night, bathroom fan that sounds like a grinding machine, original bathrooms etc.
