Recently renovated and furnished first floor studio condo in Sandpiper Cove. This 471 sq ft condo has a fully equipped kitchen with stainless steel appliances, microwave, toaster and a 12 cup coffee maker. The queen size Murphy bed and the queen sleeper make it the perfect fit for a vacation alone, in pairs or in groups of 4. Washer and dryer is available inside the unit.. The condo also features Internet access and Roku TV. The studio’s friendly and light colors chosen to fit the Emerald Coast will complete your cozy and warm feeling of being on vacation.
**Beach access: Easiest way to get there is to head out the condo take right and there is a brown bridge over the canal, cross over the brown bridge and head towards tennis courts then make a left where the townhomes are. Head straight towards security gate (where you entered). Cross the road and beach will right there. You can drive over there using the same gate code security gave you and park on that side or you can walk 3 minutes there.
It is just a 3 minute walk from the community’s 1100 ft private beach. Sandpiper Cove is a centrally located, family-oriented community with amenities such as 5 pools (2 heated during the winter), 3 whirlpools, 6 lighted tennis courts, 2 shuffle board playing fields and a 9-hole par 3 chip and putt golf course. I do not provide supplies for any of these activities.
The community is gated with 24 hour Security Guards for your protection.
The sugar-white sand and emerald water of the Gulf of Mexico border this property. You can spend a day at the beach without worrying about anything. The Beach Pavilion, located on the private stretch of beach, offers snacks and drinks, additional rental umbrellas and chairs, jet-ski's, ocean kayaks, parasailing and restroom facilities (only during peak season).
You don’t want to cook or leave the community for dinner? No problem, just take a stroll through the neighborhood and seat yourself at the harbor’s Louisiana Lagniappe. Besides delicious meals, Sandpiper Cove’s harbor also offers boat ramps and docks. If you want to go to Destin harbor but don’t want to take the car, take a boat ride from the resort to any of the dining establishments in Destin’s Harborwalk Village.
The community consists of only two story buildings so there won’t be an overrun with neighbors and the private beach has enough space for the residents and guests of Sandpiper Cove. There is no long way to carry your bags from the car to the condo, compared to hotels and high-rise buildings, because the parking space is directly in front of the building. Kids will enjoy the large expanses of grass to play on, away from major streets.
If you like to have a little action while on vacation Destin offers skydive, sail, cruise and dolphin watch. Also located near Sandpiper Cove are mini golf courses, a waterpark, a bowling hall and a small amusement park for kids. Destin Commons Shopping Mall is only 10 minutes away and is a shopping village with an AMC movie theater.
A few minutes from Destin and Holiday Island you find Okaloosa Island with miles of untouched white-sanded beach if you want to grab some things and enjoy the serenity of listening to the waves of the Gulf of Mexico.
Explore the many opportunities that await you on the emerald shores of this stretch of the incredibly scenic panhandle of Florida or simply relax.
ABSOLUTELY NO SMOKING OR PETS ALLOWED inside the condo or balcony. If so, additional cleaning fees will be charged.
PARKING/AMENITIES:
1. All amenities are accessible for our guests. Beach access code will be provided when you check in with the security guard. Please take a picture of beach access code so you don't lose the information. You can ask security guard for beach code access if you lose it.
2. Each condo is allotted only 2 parking spaces and 2 parking passes per unit. Please keep this in mind.
3. Parking during peak season does become difficult as there are no assigned parking per unit. Please remember to not park U-hauls, trailers, jet ski trailers or boats as they will be towed without notice.
NO EARLY CHECK INS POSSIBLE DURING PEAK SEASON (March-October).
Check in is strictly at 4pm. Most of the time we won't be able to accommodate early check ins especially during PEAK season unless the condo is cleaned and sanitized prior to 4pm. Unfortunately, there is no place to store luggage while waiting for check in time.
NO LATE CHECK OUT POSSIBLE DURING PEAK SEASON (March-October).
Late check out fees will be incurred at $150. DURING peak season, I tend to have back to back bookings, where ONE GUEST checks out and I have ANOTHER GUEST checking in the same day. My cleaning company needs to get in and clean and sanitize the place for incoming guests. They only clean between 10am to 4pm. If you need late check out, you will pay for another night.
Hurricane and Tropical season usually occur JUNE THROUGH NOVEMBER.
We highly recommend purchasing Travelers insurance for your stay as we DO NOT REFUND FOR TROPICAL STORMS*** If it is a hurricane, then we will definitely work with you as far as cancelling. HEAVY RAIN AND STORMS are not refundable. You will not be refunded for heavy rain and storms that frequently occur June through Nov. PLEASE KEEP THAT IN MIND TO PURCHASE TRAVELERS INSURANCE if your stay will have heavy rain and storms.
NOISE ALERT FROM NOVEMBER THRU MARCH.
There are a lot of great things happening at the Sandpiper Cove. Sandpiper Cove is an older built property. But many owners and management at Sandpiper have been beginning the process of renovating inside of the units and outside. Roofs, staircases, front porch, decks, interior of condos have been worked on from November thru March. With that comes noise unfortunately. Exterior work will be stopped during peak season so noise level should be at a minimum.
NOISE ALERT ALL YEAR ROUND.
Please be aware that this is a large resort with condos next to and above unit so there is a potential for noise and I have no control over other guests or owners around the unit.
