We had a fantastic stay! The location was perfect - just a short walk to the beach! The property was super clean and well-maintained!The host was very responsive and helpful throughout our stay. We would highly recommend this listing to anyone looking for a relaxing beach vacation!
It was the perfect beach condo for my little family! We absolutely loved it and ended up staying an extra night. Super close to the beach, check in was simple, and had everything we needed. Thanks for letting us stay!
Everything was great with exception of the beach which was closed during my entire stay with the exception of 1 day for beach maintenance. I was unaware of this until I arrived. That was very disappointing given that was 1 of the main reasons for my stay. When i contacted my host she was told the beach was to remain open & was also misinformed. She did offer a partial refund. She was easy to communicate with on a timely manner and accommadations met my expectations. I would go back.
Diane, our history made the visit very welcoming! Location is great with supermarkets, things to do and restaurants , including one on site, excellent! Beach set up no charge and very easy. We had a great time! Thank you Diane!
The property is amazing and clean. I would recommend this to anyone wanting a condo close to the beach. It has clean pools. Property is super clean and safe. Loved being here!
The host was welcoming. The only issue was the email sent with WiFi instructions was not correct. The correct information was in the condo. The host wanted me to call the internet company and I don't go on vacation to call a customer service provider when I am the hosts customer.
We really enjoyed our stay at Sandpiper Cove! The condo was perfect for our family of 3! It was very clean and had everything we needed. Location was perfect. Loved having the private beach right across the street. Diane was a wonderful host and we are already planning on coming back next year!

About the host
Hosted by Diane Harrison
I grew up visiting the Florida Panhandle in the 70's and continue to revisit the beautiful beaches as often as possible! I grew up in Nashville, Tn and now I live in the Atlanta area which is a little closer to the sandy shore.
Why they chose this property
The Sandpiper has everything you could want. I fell in love with the community atmosphere and the beach pavilion. Order drinks or lunch beach side at Rick's Sandtrap. (just remember it's cash only)
What makes this property unique
Choose from 5 pools in the complex and play the 9 holes of pitch and putt all day for free. You can borrow clubs at Sandpiper but they need to be returned at 5:00, so I recommend bringing your own.
