Our family rented this vacation home June 1, 2024. We had a wonderful time. Being on the pond was an added bonus to our stay. It was very relaxing sitting outside under the shaded porch watching the water filled with ducks and turtles. It could use some updating. But for our family we were fine with it. TIPS for anyone staying. No grill (most units around us all had grills) was stocked well on plates, bowls, utensils and cooking needs. Cold AC. Great location of this unit. The beach side grill is great and cheap. Bare bones on toilet paper (one roll in each bathroom) No hand soap in the bathrooms. 1 roll of paper towels, no condiments left in this unit. No salt, pepper etc. (lots of times we find left over salt pepper etc. Nothing here) Just heads up on supplies that would be needed. No complaints here we enjoyed our stay and would for sure do it again.

This villa was perfect for our group with all kinds of space for each of us to have our own area. I had read some if the previous reviews about upstairs being hot and deck needing repairs, but all of those issues had been addressed by the owner. Because you could make it as cold as you like, actually we kept it around 68 degrees most the time and the deck was in perfect shape. The daily walk to the beach only took a few minutes each day. And of all the years (20) of our family staying in Sandpiper Cove, this is the first time we have had linen services. So each morning I just walked about 2 minutes across the parking to exchange our condo towels, which saved a load of laundry each day. One last bonus of staying in unit 9 is that you can park your suvs under the unit and keep them out of the sun which makes them cooler as you need them. If we have 7 in our group next year we will try to get this unit again. A+++ place.

We had a wonderful week! The location and accommodations were accurate to the listing. It was a perfect size for our family of 8. The loft was especially great for my 4 girls.

We have Vacation at Sandpiper Cove several Years now & Love the Staff. We always try to stay at 1 that Sandpiper rents out cause if problems arises the Staff mostly can get things corrected. The problems we had this time was the Owners responsibility. Deck had collapsed & unable to use. Owners didn’t let the Staff know in time for us to change. The 3rd bedroom upstairs wasn’t very cool even thou we went & bought 2 fans. We used 4 all total. Needs a separate cooling system!!️ Didn’t have enough serving bowls or even plastic containers to use. Our least favorite even thou we Loved the location. Condo just needs some TLC!!️!!️!!️

We loved this rental. We always stay at Sandpiper and always a great place. Plenty of room and very spacious. Loved that we were over the water and got to see the ducks from our deck. The only issue we had was the swing was not put up. Really wanted that. As alway Sandpiper never disappoints. Will continue to stay here like we have last 10 years!

My grandparents were original owners at Sandpiper and my family decided to come back this year after my grandmother passed. It was so wonderful! Perfect size for my whole family (Grandmother's one bedroom condo would have been tight now that my brother and I have kids too) and great location. Love all the amenities and Destin has grown in the 30 years since we came regularly. Thank you for sharing your home with us!

We had a big group of gals come into town for a beach getaway and we were so pleasantly surprised with how close this condo was to the beach (a 3 minute walk) and the inlet (also a 3 minute walk), where we had a water taxi pick us up for dinner a couple nights. It was was on its own little pond, which was quite dirty but had turtles, ducks and herons to enjoy in the mornings. Plus any water is good for the soul, even a less than sparkling pond. Haha. We would suggest this condo to anyone. The only downside was there were no baking sheets so we had to get creative while cooking cinnamon rolls one morning.

This is our second time staying at Sandpiper Cove. We absolutely loved everything about it. The condo was spacious and clean. The views are beautiful. Will definitely return again.

Overall satisfied with our condo. Brought my employees down from work to go fishing. Could use some updating throughout the condo. In the upstairs bedroom it looks like at one time the roof leaked causing mildew to the ceiling that someone tried to cover up by painting that is bleeding back through. Had to turn the thermostat for the ac down really low downstairs to try to cool the upstairs and keep the guys upstairs cool. As an owner of an air conditioning company there’s ways to solve this by installing a ductless mini split. FYI. Definitely would stay on grounds again for sure.

This was our 2nd time at Sandpaper cove and it was exceptional as usual. We had other family members with us this time and they loved it. We will be booking for a 3rd time next summer. This has become our summer home away from home. We live in Texas, so Destin is a wonderful place to vacation.

It's was nice for housing the people we had staying with us. Very spacious. I would also recommend complex getting a connection to the private beach with chairs and umbrella. We paid to stay in condo but also had to pay for private beach things also.... kind of pricy....
I would definitely recommend the staff being more involved with party that rent there. We didn't hear from staff until checkout.....

Everything that was needed was there. Some frying pans should be replaced. Cutlery could be increased. A bigger pot for large family should be available. Villa is very airy and open. Sunny all day. Stayed at the same villa for 2 years. As we get older it is the stairs that hinder both my husband and I. A very nice villa.

Sandpiper Cove is very nice gated community located close to lots of activities and places to eat. Very friendly bunch of snowbirds staying there.
We planned this trip a few weeks in advance not knowing what the weather would be, turned out being the coldest weather ( high of 40 the first day but slowly got warmer each day) they've had so far this winter (which can happen anytime in Destin). We played golf 3 days on some very nice courses. Nice trip overall.

Great size for 3 families.
Negatives: bug where everywhere outside. Under carport and on backporch. Tried to make the best of it but bugs would get in vehicles and come inside condo on lower level. Another big negative, the pond that was behind the condo was one of the things we really liked on the website, but when we got to condo, that was a different story. It smelled, stagnant water. And was not eye pleasing at all. Aerating the water with a few fountain sprays would be good.
Positives: ricks sand trap awesome, Louisiana laginappe was the best meal we had in all of Destin.
The best pool was one nearest the habor.
The security guards were always very nice.
The AC worked great.
Oh, one more negative, all the beds were very uncomfortable.

Everything was as expected as I have stayed in unit 0009 in the past. There were no issues during the stay. The experience would have been enhanced if there were updated additional patio furniture on the outside deck areas for sitting.
