About this property

Steps to the Beach! Water-Taxi to Destin Harbor! 5 Star Property!

BEACH SERVICE PROVIDED FOR TWO!
Relax and enjoy coastal living at this beautifully furnished, well equipped studio with full bath and kitchen. Sandpiper Cove is a gated community that offers five swimming pools, hot tubs, tennis court, pitch and play golf, pickle ball court and a 5 star restaurant (Louisiana Lagniappe) located onsite! Water taxi over to Destin Harbor and enjoy beautiful sunsets, fantastic restaurants and fun things for the kids.

My studio sleeps four comfortably with a queen bed along with a queen size sofa bed for kids and family. More Info, reviews and pics are also available at Ecbyo.com/7268.

We had an absolutely fantastic stay at Sandpiper Cove! The condo was spotless, comfortable, and had everything we needed for a relaxing vacation. One of the best features was the location—it was only about a two-minute walk to the beach, making it incredibly convenient to come and go throughout the day.The staff was friendly, welcoming, and always happy to help whenever we had a question. The entire property was quiet and peaceful, which made it easy to unwind after spending time at the beach. We also really enjoyed the pool, which was clean, well-maintained, and a great place to relax.If you’re looking for a clean, comfortable, and convenient place to stay in Destin, I highly recommend this spot at Sandpiper Cove. We had a wonderful experience and would definitely stay here again!

Amazing stay!

The condo was just as described. The beach set up was a nice feature. Only took about 5 minutes to get to the beach and one of the pools was right outside our unit. Thanks for being a great host!

Sandpiper Condo

Access to harbor and beach ! Nice pools, more family oriented. Place decorated very nicely. Comfy bed. Only recommendation is a washer/dryer or at least hangers in the closet to help with all the wet towels. There was a lot of hooks which were handy.
