This was our 2nd stay at sandpiper cove, but first at this condo. We enjoyed it so much and hope to come back in the future. Condo was well stocked with everything we needed and more, as well as very clean. Perfect for our family of four. We enjoyed feeding the fish and ducks everyday from the patio and watching the boats come and go. Sad to leave, thanks for a great stay.

Clean, Convenient, and Great Location

We've stayed here for three years straight and have always had a great experience. The condo is clean, quiet, and well-appointed, and the location is convenient to everything we wanted to do while there. The beach setup is a very nice inclusion and being able to get lunch without leaving the beach is a good perk, Rick's Sand Trap is located right on the beach and has good food. This is our favorite place to stay in Destin, a lot to love about it.

Great time in Destin

Comfortable condo in a great location. Short drive to shopping and restaurants. Also just a 5-10 min walk to the beach. The daily beach chairs and umbrella set up included was a nice touch. Especially since we flew down and couldn’t bring our own chairs. Also appreciated the closet with other beach items. Overall we had a wonderful time in Destin! Thank you!
