Reviewer Comments:
We have stayed at Sandpiper Cove many times. We selected this unit because of its perfect location (close to beach and main pool) and the bed situation. We have 3 teens, so this bed situation meant no one needed to sleep on the pull-out couch. I normally only book places with solid 5 star reviews, so I was a little nervous about this one. After staying there, I would say the unit turned out to be fine. Lots of wallpaper and loud prints, but this is a beach condo and that didn't bother us at all. Others said the dryer didn't work for months. That seems to be fixed now. This property could improve, however. 1) Stock up a bit. The best rentals have a closet with some beach toys, a junk drawer with tape, paperclips, etc., and a few basic kitchen supplies like coffee filters and tinfoil. This place was absolutely stripped down. No coffee filters (annoying to have to purchase a pack of 100 for a 5 day stay), only the barest possible amount of soap, toilet paper, etc. Not even a pen or pad of paper to make a grocery list on! This wouldn't even cost them much to supply. A lot of travelers leave this things for others and it just replenishes that way. They must discard or take these items for themselves. (We left foil, filters, soap, etc. for the next people, who knows if it will still be there, though.) 2) Carpet is a terrible idea in a beach condo. No where to wipe feet when entering patio door and it is super old and stained. 3) Not enough light in bedrooms. No overhead lights. They cheaped out and got ceiling fans without lights. That probably saved them $20 each, but you can't see in the bedrooms. The smaller bedroom has one single small night table lamp. We literally had to pack by flashlight. 3) In the past, we have rented through other companies and this time rented directly through Sandpiper Cove. Not an upgrade. Very stingy with toilet paper, towels, golf clubs. Holiday Isle is much more generous with these items.
