Awesome Vacation!

Sandpiper Cove was excellent! The only problem was the accuracy of the description was not entirely true. Where we stayed was a partial view of the gulf. Being from Indiana surrounded by cornfields, seeing the Gulf when looking from the place I’m staying is a must.

Perfect!

We stayed in this rental for a softball tournament. A couple of other families stayed in the complex as well and I have to say our was the nicest! It was absolutely perfect! Steps off the back deck to the beach made it the best place to stay. Updated condo was very nice inside and comfortable. The only complaint I’d I had to put one is there were no trash bags so make sure you bring your own. Other than that you will not be disappointed renting here!!

So close to the ocean

The review was spot on with the apartment we stayed in. about 40 yards to the ocean with a huge back porch facing the ocean. Easy access to the building and very quiet. This is our 2nd time in this area with the apartments and they are just wonderful. Would have liked to stay for 2 weeks next time but its pretty expensive!

Need to know

The condo itself was very nice. we own a condo down the road, but due to our family size growing we have to rent a separate condo as well. it was updated, air worked great, and had a beautiful back porch. unfortunately it being a downstairs unit was not in our favor. most nights we were kept awake from the until above us. it definitely put a bummer on the week. I do think that anyone renting out bottom units should for warn renters on the noise possibility.

Great Location, but lots of ants

This condo is right on the beach, you just walk out the back door and go to the beach! That part was amazing and felt so authentic to be that close. From our particular unit you can only see a small sliver of the ocean from the patio because the sand dunes block it. The unit itself was nicely furnished and decorated, with new appliances. Our only issue were ants. The place is overrun with ants, everywhere. We tried to manage them as best we can, and there was a can of Raid provided. I can understand ants getting in the kitchen due to some people not cleaning up crumbs, etc., but these were everywhere. In the cabinets, on the walls, in the bedrooms, tons of dead ants caught in cobwebs up by the ceiling, and the worst was when I woke up the last day to an ant crawling on my face. Our daughters also said there were ants in their bed as well. It was a small annoyance and I hope the property owners can get them under control. Other people in other units mentioned ant problems as well, so it's not just this unit. That was our main issue. Also, for the price we paid (almost $4k) there was no hand soap, liquid dish soap, dish sponge, toiletries, trash bags, or other basics provided. They left one roll of toilet paper in each bathroom, an almost empty paper towel roll, 2 dishwasher pods, and bath towels under the sinks, and that was it, besides the can of Raid (which was probably left by another renter). All other condos we have rented while on vacations have always provided this stuff. We had to do a full grocery shopping trip for all of the basic household stuff - not something you really want to do when on vacation. We also had to buy throw rugs for the front and back doors because they didn't even have anything to wipe your feet on to help keep sand out of the house. Usually when we buy extra things to fill in the gaps we just leave whatever is leftover for the next renter, but this time we had to buy so much stuff there was no way we were going to leave it all because we spent too much on it. We just had to figure out a way to pack all the extra stuff for the trip home. Other than that, it was overall a very nice unit and nice beach front location. We would stay here again if the ants can be removed, and knowing ahead of time that the unit has absolutely no extra supplies, we would just bring stuff with us instead of having to shop for it on vacation.
