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.

However, the harbor view is unbeatable. Our boys love to fish and ease in the water behind condo. Can’t wait for next year. Thanks for Sharing your slice of heaven with us!

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.

Incredible property!

This property was perfect for our family of three. The property is decorated well, but I also wasn't too worried about my 2-year-old ruining anything. The view from the balcony is incredible! My husband fished so the double-balcony was perfect, and my son enjoyed the beach toys on the lower level. The location within Sandpiper Cove is excellent, too. We walked to Louisiana Lagniappe one night and had the pool to ourselves one morning. We will absolutely return to the property again!

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!

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.

Perfect in every way!

The condo is absolutely beautiful! The pictures do not do it justice. The rooms are bigger than they look in pictures. My husband and I along with our 4 small kids stayed and we had plenty of room. The view of the harbor is amazing and it was so nice to step outside to fish. Eating dinner on the deck or coffee in the mornings is perfect. Very short walk to the ocean. The resort and condo are very clean and up to date. I seriously cannot think of anything negative. My family and I loved our stay and we'll definitely be staying in this condo again.

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.

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.
