The perfect home to stay in Destin, I and my family, we all loved the time we spend there, cleaning and smell good, we really appreciate the week over there.

The rental was beautiful as described in the pics. Stunning views from all directions. The pots and pans were terrible, which I'm sure they have taken a beating over time. I'd suggest upgrading those. Another suggest might be to install a pull out yawning as when it's raining the decks leak terribly. A pull out yawning would allow u to enjoy the out doors more. Overall, it was a wonderful and we enjoyed our stay.

We've enjoyed several units at Sandpiper Cove but this is our new favorite! It is thoughtfully updated and has an amazing view!

I’ve been staying at the beachfront villas here off and on for30 years,but this was the first time at this unit. It was all clean and orderly for sure, but we were very disappointed it did not come with the beach chair and umbrella pkg. this will probably cause us to select units that do in the future. We were also surprised there wasn’t a wine opener, but understand it may well have had one that walked out with a previous renter!

It’s a fantastic location, and perfect for my family of 4!! However, the floors were filthy. My children’s feet were completely black after 10 minutes of running around. Cleaning isn’t something anybody wants to do at the start of their vacation. Would’ve been 5 stars all the way around otherwise.

The condo is in the perfect location, nicely decorated and has everything we needed. I grew up going to sandpiper cove and my parents are owners and this unit is one of the best! Only caveat is the ice maker is very loud and leaks on the floor (we do use ice a lot) and the cleaners did a poor job on the floor (if they even cleaned it). Neither one worth calling in maintenance or housekeeping. I highly recommend staying here!

The location of this unit is trementous. It's right on top of the beach and you can sit on the porch just like you are under a beach umbrella. Furnishings are top notch. The ice maker wasn't working but I think it was some setting and I didn't bother to ask maintenance to fix it. Parking is great and beach bar is next door.

Blissfully beautiful ocean waves! To watch & listen to! We loved our condo which served us well! Decorated tastefully! Everything that we would want or need!

My wife and I have been doing Mardi Gras for over 50 years. This year we wanted the opposite experience - quiet solitude together in Destin. Everything was great - condo price, no large crowds in restaurants, only a few folks on the beach in mid-February. Great place for couples and families with kids.

We have stayed at Sandpiper for many years and this room is our new favorite. The view is amazing and the room was updated.

We have stayed in this unit several times. It is always clean and well taken care of. The views are just incredible. You can see both sunrises and sunsets in the late fall. The large porch is where we spend much of our time as we travel in the off season. You cannot get much closer to the water. Rest and relaxation are easy to come by here.

Wonderful location and facilities. Condo 1156 is updated with all the modern amenities and comforts with a beautiful gulf view. The community is gated and protected and feels very safe and secure. The location is excellent with shopping, dining, and essentials all within minutes. The only downside was the capacity of the air conditioning system; it took over 24 hours to cool the condo down.

Love sandpiper cove. This unit was fabulous. My only complaint is sandpiper Cove did away with returning guest discounts. And have went up on their prices. We will not be coming back here for a while. Which is sad because that is the only place we stay when we come to Destin.

The location is perfect. It has everything you could need inside the unit and on the grounds. I booked the same unit last year and now this summer. I would have rented it again, but it almost doubled in price for the same days and darn amount of time which is really discouraging. I was looking to rent 15 days if the price wasn’t too crazy, but I guess this will
be my last year here. If you can afford it, please do stay, just the location alone makes it an amazing family vacation.

The view as soon as you walk into this condo is fantastic! The condo has been refreshed lately and is very pretty inside. The drawback is that the furniture has all seen it's better days. Couches were rickety and hardly any cusion left. The mattresses are WAY over due for replacement. We bought a blow up mattress for the floor and didn't sleep on the king size mattress much. One more thing, 1156 unit is not where you'd expect it to be. Alerting guests to this would have helped.

After staying at Sand Piper Cove for over 15 years several times a year. This condo hands down has the best location. One of the cons was only two trash bags and no paper towels. No full size broom and the vacuum seem to blow out dust and sand as you picked it up.

The rental was amazing. Right on the beach! Very clean and well taken care of. Would definitely stay there again! The only negative was the chair rental staff. They were rude and NEVER charged us the same amount all 3 days for two chairs and an umbrella.....

The unit has been beautifully updated! We always try to rent this unit because it is in the perfect location. I sit on the balcony and look at the ocean the whole time! There was a problem with the AC the 2nd day and the staff took care of getting it fixed within hours! So impressive in the middle of the summer heat!

A perfect vacation--waking up to the sound of the surf, being able to see the sunrise and the sunset.

Our whole family loved this condo! The location was was on the 1st floor just a few steps from the beach. The decor was attractive and coastal without looking like a souvenir shop exploded. We all loved Rick’s for lunch...the food was delicious and we could just walk up from the beach for lunch without having to load up all our stuff and drive somewhere to eat. The only suggestion I have is to provide more pillows and covers to accommodate 6 guests comfortably. We will definitely book this condo again!

Only a frozen icemaker and a squeaky dryer. Maintenance identified the problems and made the repairs. Could not ask for a better response.
It was a good trip to a very good unit. I loved the renovations and new appliances. The unit was a missing a large pot to boil shrimp. The cover was there, however. We enjoyed the Louisiana Lagniappe. The food and the service were very good.

We stayed in this condo and everything was perfect. It was nicely updated, close to the beach, and perfectly decorated. The only suggestion is to keep a broom in the condo along with the vacuum. We will definitely book this exact condo again in the future!

We have rented the same condo for 5 of the last 6 years. The upgrades made to the condo this year were amazing. Everything was new,from the flooring,lighting and kitchen. We love this condo.

The only changes I'd suggest are very small:
- bed pillows are hard and lumpy - bring your own or ask if the office can supply better ones
-thermostat was hard to regulate - it seemed pre-set
-coffee pot does not turn off automatically or have a light that shows it's on, so unplug after use!

My BFF and I were supposed to go to Islamorada for her birthday. Hurr Irma x-celled that trip. She wanted beach, my sister stayed in Destin and loved it, so we decided to give it a go. IT IS THE BEST PLACE I've ever been to. Amazing trip.

it was a very nice condo. We did have to deal with it leaking when it rained one day.We had trouble parking a few days when people was coming to the beach in the afternoons, and you would think people that stayed across the street would have to walk and not drive there car over to the beach side and take up all the spots when we paid to stay on the beach side.Other than that the condo was very nice.

This is the 2nd time my family and I have stayed in this condo and the views never get old. We were pleasantly surprised with the remodel of the condo since our last stay. Love how close the condo is located to the HarborWalk Village, only a short drive down the road. And stores are just a few minutes down the road. Condo is centrally located in Destin.

I give Sandpiper Cove and Room 1156 all 5s for Very Satisfied. My husband and I have been coming to Sandpiper Cove since 1985 and our children have grown up there as well. It is the only place we stay on the Florida coast. Room 1156 was right on the beach with a beautiful view and had recently been updated. We will be back next year!

We had a great stay in Unit 1156. It appeared to be very recently updated and redecorated. It was VERY clean and very nice. The photos should be updated on the website to reflect the changes which are all very positive.

The condo was nice and spacious. Very clean. The stairs at night were difficult to see as our 8 year old tripped and fell on them. I would suggest the community look at some increased lighting. We were surprised that Rick's Sand Trap did not stay open longer as it closed around 5:00 pm every day. Very convenient to the beach. All in all an excellent stay.

The view is awesome and the unit is very roomy. It was very clean and had all the ammenties we needed. It is in dire need of updating.

The location was perfect. The view was amazing. Patio furniture was worn down. The property itself needs some updating. The couches were microfiber.. not ideal for sand and suntan lotion. They were worn and it showed. The beds were ok, not the most comfortable. The refrigerator, although new, smelled of seafood and fish and it never went away.If not for the location, all this could not be overlooked.

We had a really nice week at Sand Piper Cove. This was my 3rd time staying at these condominiums. I like the rooms. They are always nice and clean. I loved the location we had this time. The beach view was so nice. The only problem I had this stay was we had Palamento bugs in the room. I know they are common in Florida and all but I did not like seeing them run across the floor at night when we would turn the lights on. We killed 2 while we were there. I started avoiding the kitchen area the rest of the week after it got dark because I was afraid to see more. Other than that I had no problem with our stay.
