The most amazing condo. Perfectly located. The only complaint is the restaurant was really close to the condo and the parked cars so close to our parking space that at times was difficult to get the boat parked back in the driveway.

We had a great time and the condo was just what we needed for our family.

We have been coming to sandpiper cove for 20 years. It’s the best place to stay in Destin! We originally booked our stay for 7 nights but had to add one more night because we were having so much fun. This is the first time my family stayed in the #0018 house. We loved the size and location of the house but it did need some updates. It would have been nice to have a baby gate in the house to keep our kids safe from falling down the stairs. Also, the clothes washer smelled of mildew. A painting in our bathroom had a rip in it and there were stains in the carpet and on the couch. These things aren’t a huge deal breaker for my family but I thought it would be nice for the owners to know! We would rent here again! We loved how close the big pool was to our house and how we could see the harbor and the pond from our decks. Beautiful views!!!

Our condo was very sub-par cleaned and not stocked with anything as far as paper towels, toilet paper, or anything if that sort. The plumbing was terrible and sinks kept clogging. The first two hours trying to figure out what to do with my boat and trailer was a COMPLETE NIGHTMARE. Luckily a condo owner across the street was willing to help where Sandpiper wasn’t. I don’t know that I’ll be back here. But the size and location was pretty decent unfortunately that’s about it.

The unit was good for us as we had 7 people staying including five teenagers. But, the place was older and had issues such as the sink clogging up in the first floor bathroom. Also, paper towels and trash bags were not provided which meant we had to go at night to supply it ourselves. But, overall it met our needs fine.

We enjoyed our stay at #18 Sandpiper Cove. The two bedrooms with full baths downstairs worked perfectly for my parents in one side of the condo and my husband & myself on the other side. My 19 year old son enjoyed having his own space & bathroom upstairs. We have stayed at many of the condos at Sandpiper Cove over the years. This was one of the nicest & cleanest. The only problem we had was that the tvs would not work when we arrived, but maintenance fixed the problem within the first hour of us reporting it. The beach was a very short walk from the condo. We enjoyed many of the nearby restaurants while there. I’d definitely stay in this condo again & recommend to others.

This was our first time staying in #18 Lake Villa. We thoroughly enjoyed layout of the house , the location. We were pleasantly surprised to see the owner has adequate furniture on the Lg. deck below & the two decks above. Especially the hammock & porch swing. We have stayed at another Villa in past two years that was in dire need of it. When we discovered on our 2nd day that drying wasn’t heating, maintenance responded quickly & guest services were helpful to give us another alternative while we were without & compensate us for any expense & inconvenience. As homeowners, We realize these things happen, but felt we were treated fairly. I do have a couple of suggestions....One thing that was very inconvenient for us was the kitchen had no cooking pans at ALL other than a muffin pan. It made it difficult when cooking. Also, the kitchen A/C
Return air grate along the wall was REALLY dirty.. also the small deck table on bedroom deck on main floor is rusted & leaning & two of chairs on deck off kitchen has some sharp edges along the front of the seat. One last thing, the bedroom on main floor with the deck & tub bathroom needs a repositioning of the tv cabinet. It is to the side of the bed where you really can’t lay in bed & watch a movie or anything as it’s awkward. These issues can be easily corrected & surely would NOT deter us from renting this Villa again! I only stated these things because I believe it helps for the owners & mgt. to know for future guests. We look forward to our return.

We had a lot of fun and were impressed with the layout of the villa and it being close to the lagoon.

Compared to my family's experience in one of the other villas, Condo #18 was great. Very aesthetically pleasing. Furniture, floors, walls, etc. were cleaned and/or updated. There was some moisture coming through the vents when the air condition was on but, that's normal. Very nice place that my family in the other condo wished they stayed in.
I would definitely recommend #18

My wife and I along with 2 of our couple friends have been staying here for the last couple of years as a "end of the summer" get-a-way. We love this place for it's convenience to bring our boat. We can have our boat in and out of the water in minutes. Awesome dining is within a walk away, as well is the nite life just a short drive. We all have such a great time we have started a trend and will continue to come every year.

We have been vacationing in Destin for 15 years. We have been staying at Sandpiper Cover for 10 years or so. This is the first year that we have rented a villa and loved it. It was perfect for our family vacation.

Let’s just say we didn’t want to leave. The house was so clean, perfect spot, and perfect size. We feel in love with this house.

Was very happy and was a great experience. Walking distance to a great beach experience and a fantastic restaurant in walking distance. We had 7 adults and 2 children and there was plenty of room for us all. Would stay again in a heartbeat.

It was overall a good place to stay. The house we stayed in was clean and had plenty of room for all 6 of us. We loved staying by the pond and feeding the ducks and birds. It was very pretty. However I don’t feel for the money I paid we should have to take our trash to the dumpster or go get our own towels. I went to go get towels and the lady looked at me weird and said well the people aren’t here that usually do this. That is not my problem. All I wanted to do was just exchange them at the window. I walked there from the place I was staying and it was hot that day. It was kinda frustrating. Finally I told the ladies all I wanted to do was exchange what I brought. I started counting them. They finally gave me some. I didn’t like the smell as you walked by certain lodging going to the beach. It had a sewer smell. The people were friendly at the front desk and very helpful.

A few friends and I were looking for a spot where we could play lots of tennis, hang out at the beach, and eat some good food and this was the perfect place! The location on the property was great — right by some pools, tennis courts, and the delicious restaurant. The beach is only a short walk away. The downstairs porch that overlooks the pond is fantastic too. Constantly shaded and has a comfy hammock. The unit was very spacious and clean with plenty of beds and bathrooms. The only minor complaint would be the lack of a few essentials that we had to go pick up like shampoo and paper towels. The supply of beach chairs/umbrella/toys was great. Definitely recommend the fish tacos at Rick's Sand Trap on the beach as well. Would 100% stay here again.

Overall the stay was good. This is our 3rd time staying here so we know the location well. The property was typical of a rental. Toilets ran constantly, dishwasher ran part of the time. Aside of the usual rental house issues, the location was amazing and the staff are great as always.

The house was great; short walk to the beach, literally steps to the pool and hot tubs and tennis courts just around the pond. Probably the best two things were that everyone had a bed and the living space was comfortable and big enough for all of us to hang out after dinner. Some of the outdoor furniture is in need of repair or replacement (a couple of chairs and the swing) and if you like to cook,do bring your own spices as salt and pepper are the only ones here. Otherwise the kitchen is well stocked with pots and pans and baking dishes. It was perfect for our family of 6 adults and 3 kids.

We love Sandpiper Cove, this was our 7th summer vacation there. The villa was beautiful! It was clean, nicely furnished and held 6 of our family members comfortably. The complex is clean, safe, and everyone is so friendly and helpful. The beach is absolutely beautiful, it's really perfect. And, you can't beat the blackened fish sandwich at Ricks Sand Trap!!! I recommend this complex to everyone!! It's a perfect place for a family vacation.

The Lake Villa we rented was perfect for our size family, plenty of beds and space for us to all have time together and alone. We would love to rent again. The only problem we had was the grill, it was not usable, we love to grill and wasn't able to.

This unit provides great views and sun places--has lots of space. We had 14 people for a Super Bowl party! Kitchen was very well supplied with every thing needed to a two months stay.
The sofa in the living room was very "tired" and as was the bedrooms' carpet. The bathroom commodes need replacing as well.
Nonetheless, we reserved to another two months next year!
