Perfect place for dog. Has a nice back grassy area.
Had a great time. Will rent again in the future. Furniture did have some dog hair on it but was clean other wise.

Thank you for your review and kind words! We’re thrilled you had a great time and look forward to hosting you again. We apologize for the dog hair on the furniture and will ensure a more thorough cleaning moving forward. Thanks for bringing it to our attention!
Condo was very comfortable, nicely furnished and a great space for two couples. The location of Sandpiper Cove was excellent with close proximity to shopping and restaurants. Access to the private beach across the street from our unit was a short walk and all 3 pools in the complex were also an easy short walk. We found property management for the condo very prompt and responsive. We were very pleased with our 9-day stay in this pet friendly condo.

Wonderful Vacation
It was our first time here, and it will not be our last. We had a great time relaxing by the pool. The room is spacious, clean, bright and walking distance to the beach. Plenty of restaurants and shopping nearby.
We loved it! It’s close to the beach and lots of shopping and a grocery store.

We have stayed at this location twice now, and will be back. Beautiful condo with comfy beds. We appreciated driving right up and getting right into our comfy home for the week. Love the convenient kitchen/washer and dryer and awesome location-just a few minute walk across the street to the beautiful beach! Thanks for a great vacation!

Wish we had known, but there was Wi-Fi in the unit and we could have provided you with the password. I am sorry to see you go, you have been a great guest, and it has truly been my pleasure. It is always a privilege to serve our guests, and at SkyRun we take our commitments very seriously. We would certainly have it no other way.
We are glad you enjoyed your stay, please come back to visit.
The condo location is perfect. We love it. The first night we had some roaches hanging out in the kitchen but we wiped every down and didn’t see them again throughout the stay. No big deal! We still really enjoyed the location and the beach being so close!

We have stayed in Sandpiper Cove multiple times over the years. This is one of the nicest units we have stayed in. The location is great for a quick walk to the beach. The condo was updated. The kitchen was fully stocked for anything we needed. The furniture was comfortable. Being on the first floor was very convenient for letting our dog out. No complaints and will definitely stay here again.

Nice place, nice location, good service
But the place had cockroaches in the kitchen cabinets and bedrooms and that is not healthy and the deal breaker for me.
I am not going back to this place

Thank you for your impressions, Fred. The unit is treated regularly with professional pest control. We are sorry about the unwanted palmetto bugs that you encountered. Sometimes, the summer heat and rain can be a challenge. We have not had complaints since. Hope to have you back again for a 5-Star experience. -SkyRun Destin|30A

Destin Paradise
We spent the month of February at "it's now or never". I have to stay it was an absolutely fabulous month. First off, our townhouse was beautiful, recently remodeled, and so comfortable to stay at. The bed was extremely comfortable (no having to get use to it). Our kitchen was well stocked for cooking and dining. We even had a welcome kit of incidentals to get us started. Our townhouse was a very short walk to the beach, heated pool and hottubs(also a short way to tennis, golf and onsite restaurant). We had company come visit while staying here, there is plenty of room for that. We loved every minute of our stay. Destin was so much fun, so many shops, restaurants, beautiful beaches, and very friendly people. While most of our time was walking the beach and enjoying the outdoors, there is so much more here.
The only negative thing to our whole vacation was having to leave....a month
was not long enough!!!!
Edgar was a wonderful host, and easy to contact, We would come back here in a heartbeat.
I can not pick out one thing that was best in our month in Destin, everyday was wonderful.
