Why the Owner Chose Sandpiper Village
When we bought our Villa, we looked at many different resorts in several different states before deciding on Sandestin. It offered a combination of location, amenities (beach, golf, restaurants, shopping) and beauty second to none that swept us off our feet. Sandpiper Village captivated us due to its warmth and openness and we were struck by the amount of open space surrounding the homes. This space makes Sandpiper one of the most family friendly neighborhoods in the resort with easy access to the amenities which are still just far enough away to preserve the peace and quiet of the neighborhood. Our kids and their families love the backyard area where they can play games while we sit on the patio watching with a morning cup of coffee or an evening glass of wine. We know your family will have the same experiences.
The Unique Benefits at this Villa
We furnished our Villa with the idea that it would be a true vacation/beach home. With that in mind, we decorated in warm, bright colors that remind you constantly that you’re on vacation at the beach. It is very large for a two bedroom villa – larger than almost any other floor plan. The kids and grandkids love having the separate sunroom where they can watch their own TV or movies without the “grown-ups”, while the adults enjoy the huge adjacent living room. The home is well equipped so that even though you’re on vacation there won't be a lot you will be missing. We’re sure your family will enjoy our home as much as ours does!
