Sandpiper Cove as a community is excellent, as we have previously experienced on prior trips. This is why we chose a Sandpiper property. Additionally the few times we had to contact Panhandle Getaways (property mgmt company), we had quick responses to our requests. However, we noticed less than expected cleanliness of countertops and floors, and minimal consumable items for a 6 day stay. We had to call maintenance to clean mildew from several A/C vents. Bathtubs drains were continually backing up due to clogging from sand. Some ceiling fans/lights were not functioning correctly. Supplies for kitchen was limited. We had to use one laundry soap pod provided to wash bath towels during the week. We had to use dishwashing packet provided to start dishwasher upon departure as requested. We did request trash bags from housekeeping as only one was provided. Salt & pepper, coffee filters, and dish cloths would have been nice to have as well instead of having to purchase these in addition to the above mentioned items for the duration of our stay.
We have stayed at several VRBO properties, but have experienced more cleanliness and conveniences than what we experienced during this stay.
