"My wife and I have been going to Destin for many years. We have stayed in a lot of very nice properties, but we both agree this is the best trip we have taken. The property itself is part of Sandpiper Cove, which has many things that we enjoy. Of course, the beach, pools, and the Louisiana Lagniappe. But this unit in particular was meticulously clean, it was literally steps from the beach and included chair service. It just made it that much easier to really relax. The owner, Scott was so...

The place is very comfortable for the two of us and we enjoyed that it was in a small community that allowed you to play pickleball, golf and have quiet access to the beach. It is in a prime location to get to many great restaurants. We will be back for sure!"

"My family of 6 stayed here (my husband and I, kids 14,13,11 and 9 months) the condo was perfect for what we needed. The kids stayed in the bunk beds and pull out couch, and the baby slept with us in a pack and play. Photos listed are exactly how the place looked in person.
The location is perfection right on the sand and a 5 min walk to the water. There are complimentary chairs/umbrella just get there and tell the attendant who will reserve them with your name in the morning. The condo is...
