Great condo! The unit was clean, comfortable, and met all our needs. We loved the extended balcony, and the beach was just steps away. Check-in was a breeze, and the staff was super helpful. We definitely recommend it to others and will stay again!
It was absolutely beautiful and such a beautiful place to stay too. We loved it

Was a Perfect location! The balcony is huge and furniture was nice.. definitely woke up refreshed everyday. The only bummer was all the pools are on the other side of the rd.

We spend our vacation every summer at Sand Piper Cove Condos, have been doing this for years and don’t plan on stopping anytime soon. Located in the middle of everything, best food, beach access, shopping, easy access to Hwy 98 and cleanest condos

Thank you for your continued loyalty and kind words! We're thrilled to be a part of your summer tradition. It’s always a pleasure to host you, and we look forward to many more years of making your vacations memorable at Sandpiper Cove!
Great conco with direct access to beach. View from our unit was amazing. It was clean and well stocked for our stay. Staff was really friendly and helpful. Pool was excellent. The added security with a gated community was a plus for me.. The local shops and food places were literally down the road. Overall a EXCELLENT property and will definitely book again.

Thank you for the fantastic review! We're so glad you enjoyed the direct beach access, stunning views, and well-stocked unit. It’s wonderful to hear our team made you feel welcome and that the gated security gave you peace of mind. We can’t wait to have you back for another great stay at Sandpiper Cove!
We really enjoyed this condo. Very close to beach and great view. The condo was very nicely decorated and we really enjoyed the condo’s deck. Even though it rained almost every night, we didn’t mind since the condo was so nice to stay inside.
This was our first time in destin! The condo was in a great area and exactly what I was looking for. Few steps to the beach, overlooking the beach too. Place was nice and clean. Bed was comfortable and had everything you needed in the kitchen! Great for a family with kids to stay. They had a place right in front of your place for the kids to play outside in the sand! Overall I would come back and stay here.
The king size bed is comfortable and large. The condo is very nice and clean. Nice large shower. Kitchen is well stocked. There are a few beach chairs available. The deck is amazing!!! The stairs are not bad but are something to be mindful about when packing and unloading. Overall it was a great place to stay!!!

We really enjoyed our stay. This particular unit was decorated to create a cozy homely feel. We usually stay in a highrise but there was something relaxing to staying in what felt more like a beach home. Forewarn! No elevators so be ready to get your steps in other than that it was great. Very clean.

Reviewer Comments:
First day we got there we waited over 2 hours to get into the condo due to front desk lady Danielle not letting us know after talking several times to her. It was raining whole time First day soaking wet from rain went back to office and ask to speak to manager Francis Check the status and notice room was ready hours ago and got us in room right away Danielle was rude and unprofessional to my wife and I then Friday our building had no running water for over 8 hours had to use bottle water bought from store to fill up to use bathroom as no one had an answer to what going on call 230 am in morning speak to someone front gate security guard was rude and said it will get fixed whenever they can and hung up. I been traveling and vacationing for over 40 years worse vacation ever. I will never come back to this place as rudeness of employees and horrible experience we had for our anniversary.Also we had to walk across the street to main condo area to get fresh linden and towels and bring your own toilet paper and paper towels as they don't provide any just 1 roll of toilet paper for staying 5 days and 6 nights

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We sincerely apologize for the issues you encountered during your stay — especially during what should have been a special anniversary trip.
Your concerns about the delayed check-in, communication breakdown, lack of running water, and interactions with staff are taken seriously. That is not the experience we strive to provide our guests. We will be reviewing this incident with our team to ensure that these matters are addressed and improvements are made.
We also understand your frustration regarding the limited starter supplies and apologize if this was not communicated clearly before arrival. While our policy is to provide initial items to get guests started, we recognize this may fall short for longer stays and are evaluating ways to better meet guest expectations.
We regret that your visit did not meet the standards you deserve and truly appreciate your feedback. If you would like to speak further about your stay, please feel free to contact management directly.

We loved our unit! The updated bathroom was perfect! Deck is amazing. Excellent AC for the hot summers. Kitchen had everything needed to prepare a meal there. Fabulous view of the beach also. Only downside was nothing to do with unit. It was the constant barrage of helicopter tours overhead every 4 mins and boat tours not far off shore. Destin needs to regulate this.

Great place to spend vacation. Easy access to the beach, which is priority to us. The unit was clean and everything in working order. Back deck is heaven! The sleeper sofa needs to be replaced. It was ok for us because 3 yr old slept on it but it wouldn’t be comfortable for adults at all. Loved that the beach is private. Very relaxing! We got there at 5:00 a.m. and were told to come the next day at 10:00 to check in. We woke up at 9:45 a.m. and were getting dressed. Office called at 10:02 and said “you were supposed to be here at 10 and it’s after 10”. 🤣🤣 I am a rule follower but dang!🙈

We enjoyed our 5 week stay. This is a wonderful location. The unit was as advertised and the mgmt was responsive. The only downside was maintenance -for 8 days we had to park significantly away from the unit for pavement resealing and building painting. This is understandable , just a note worthy time of the year inconvenience.
