We enjoyed our stay. The room was nice, the pools and the hot tubs were awesome. It was just a short walk to the beach. The security to the place was nice.
It was very nice with only a few things that were needed. The storm door would not lock. The electrical outlet in the bathroom did not work. The skillets were scratched and need replacing. We enjoyed staying there and it was very comfortable.
We enjoyed our week here! This place is perfectly located to grab a water taxi in the evening for a quick and convenient jump to the best places - without the headache of parking and traffic (during the busy season)… and easy access to the private beach front for daytime fun!
The place itself is just the right size and the residents are super-friendly and helpful with tips on all the best places around town.
1. Needs more lighting
2. Needs new mattress pads on beds
3. Needs a few more utensils in kitchen-spatula measuring cups
4. Need new broom
5. End table needs fixing
6. Need draining soap dish in tub. There was standing, dirty water in it when we arrived
7. Loose tile in entrance
8. Need garbage bags
9. Needs a good cleaning! From top to bottom!
We have stayed in 3 different condos in Sandpiper Cove and this is the first one we have been disappointed with.

Terrible-read the reviews
The condo was not cleaned. Old loud appliances, NO OCEAN VIEW! Dirty appliances, tiles broken, tube was dirty and had not been updated in at least 20 year, terrible mattress. If I could show photos I would upload them. I contacted the owner and was told the cleaner would come at 1145. The cleaner came and stripped the bedding and the covers from the couch and chair and didn't return until around 5 when we were in the middle of getting ready and no-one ever called or came back to clean or anything. Contacted the owner when we left and told her how disapointed I was and she said I could have a late checkout or stay for free two more nights which I couldn't do due to having to return home to work. She didn't offer any other type of compensation. Would never come back or recommend anyone to stay there!!

Poor Communication with property manager. Stay away …..
0 STAR. Very old appliances. We can’t sleep or stay in the condor because of the refrigerator is making very very loud noise. Oven door jammed and burnt all our foods. Bathtub is old and dirty. Beds are old and uncomfortable. I tried to contact owner/agent but can’t get hold of them. April emailed me 2 days later and asked me to turn down or turn off the refrigerator- are you kidding me. Wish I can upload video and picture here.

Awesome location, poor sleep
Ok, we loved our trip to Destin Florida, being out first, we left knowing that this is some place we would like to return in the future, but it wasn't all beaches and sunshine, there were some downsides.
There is only one thing preventing me from leaving a 5 star review for our stay, and that was the sleeping situation. The murphy bed's mattress was very uncomfortable and it was only a full size. Hardly enough room for one adult, but that was nothing compared to the couches pull out bed which was a larger queen size, but was only like 3 inches thick and felt like you were just laying on metal, because you were. We had to go purchase an air up mattress from Target and that also wasn't very comfortable. So for our entire stay, I didn't get one good nights rest, which is what vacation is all about. I really thought about leaving less than 3 stars just because of this. However, I had to think hard and consider that I do have back issues. My wife doesn't have back issues, and she agreed with me that the sleeping situation was bad. For the amount we spent, we expected a better mattress to sleep on and for the amount of money this place likely makes in a year, it should be something replaced often. This would have changed the review from 3 stars to 5 stars. If you don't have back problems and there is only one or two people renting, then you may not have the same opinion about the sleeping arrangements The rest of the furniture was comfortable. It also rains almost every day. Something to think about if you are not from the area. Mother nature doing her thing.
But the positives far out-weight the bad. The best thing about this rental is Location, location, location. It was so close to everything, dining, shopping, and of course the BEACH. We walked to the private access beach and only took us about 5 minutes to get there and what was because we had to wait for the cross walk light to change. The water is beautiful. We went to Ft Walden one day and even though they are so close, the waters in Destin were far superior (the waters in Ft Walden had green floating algae which stuck to our hair.) The trip was worth the long drive we had. The unit is upstairs, but I have always preferred upstairs because of noise. The unit overlooked one of the pools on the property. We would rent definitely rent this unit again. We would just come prepared with air mattress. Fantastic sun rises, sunsets, water, we were really enjoyed the location.
Property was perfect distance for a short walk to the beach, it is up stairs, so if you have issues with stairs, completely clean, pool was close, would stay again!!!
The unit had everything we needed and the location is central to everything. The refrigerator made ice which we needed for the ice chest. The space was perfect for two adults. The amount of pillow, blankets, towels, hand towels and facial towels provided was perfect. It overlooked the pool. The controlled entry in to the property is appreciated. The walk across the street to the beach was easy and not far. The air condition was perfect. The full size bed forced my husband to sleep closer to me lol but not a bad thing. The ONLY thing I would recommend is a later check out time. We had a 10:00a.m check out. Other than that we highly enjoyed the stay. Thank you.

Not worth it imo
It shouldn’t be listed as sleeping 4 people it couldn’t sleep 2 adults and 2 children comfortably. And if we fell asleep the outdated refrigerator was sure to wait us up. I think it’s just this room not the entire complex. Will not stay there again
My son and I visited for a boys’ weekend. The property manager was extremely prompt and gracious in sharing information and preparing us for our stay. The condo had everything we needed including dishwater, silverware, appliances, etc. Sandpiper Cove is amazing. We had access to several pools, water on the bayside and beachside, a par 3 golf course, and a wonderful restaurant on premises. The resort security team was extremely courteous and helpful. And, of course, the resort is in close proximity to everything Destin has to offer.
Condo was in a great location, very nice. Owners were especially great! Loved our stay

Sandpiper Studio
The unit is cute enough but my complaint would be the mattresses. The pull out couch sank in in the middle And was very very uncomfortable. I can usually sleep anywhere. And the Murphy bed was awfully hard and would sweat when my grandson turned. And I missed the word studio. Didn’t realize the Murphy bed was in a studio situation. I thought it was in a separate room guess that’s my fault. I only stayed there the first night and ended up going to my daughters apartment because I could not sleep there. And the refrigerator door is broken off. Some extra pillows would be nice.
The owner was very nice with specific instructions. The area was great and just across the road from beach. The only negative was sleeping on a hard pull out couch. Overall great stay.

The door handle was broke on the fridge.. the bath tub was dirty and so was the bathroom... hair evo
The actual outside property was very well maintained... absolutely beautiful...everyone was extremely friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable... it was easy to get the listing.. April was very nice, and quick to respond.
We had a fantastic time in Destin, FL. This vacation home was absolutely perfect for our family of 4. Very close to the beach and pool! We will be back!
Cute place! Mattresses were not like the description, but doable for a short stay! Bring a connector for DVD player to TV. We bought one for cheap so no big deal. Walk to the beach wasn’t bad at all! Nice pool view from back balcony. Small ocean view from front door.
Great stay overall!
The reason I gave a 3 star rating of cleanliness is because there was a strong smell of sewer coming from the condos and the water smelled really weird. Also there were very large roaches outside the condo!
