The beach view was outstanding. The place was very clean, neat, and had everything we needed. The deck was perfect, we could see dolphins, particularly in the morning swimming by. Close to many excellent restaurants and lots to do in the area. We would definitely rent this again very enjoyable.

Our favorite beach destination
We have stayed at several other Sandpiper Cottages, but once we found this one, we have not considered going anywhere else. Everything is just right between the view, the ocean breeze, easy beach access, proximity to shops, & comfortable living space. Danna is always an excellent hostess!!
We had so much fun here! We got to watch dolphins from the balcony and enjoyed the board games as a family. We will definitely be returning

Great stay on the beach
This is a great place to stay. Rooms are clean. Wake every morning and step out onto a beautiful deck and drink coffee and look at the waves roll in. This is right on the beach. Literally walk around less than 60 feet and you are on the beach. The host have been wonderful and they care about the customer. For the family just want easy and relaxing, it's perfect.

A little piece of Heaven on Earth
We had a wonderful stay in the newly renovated condo. Our family made a lot of wonderful memories! We will definitely be back!
We loved staying here because it is directly on the beach making it perfect for a stay with little kids because it was very easy to go back and forth. It is also in a great location in town, close to everything!

Hidden gem in Destin
We’ve stayed at this property for the last few years. It’s wonderful and the owners are great to deal with.the entire process is clear and easy to follow This year they remodeled the entire condo, floor to ceiling and it is gorgeous. The view of the ocean alone is worth the money. I can’t recommend this condo enough and we will continue to go back every year as schedule allows.

Amazing!!
The accommodations far exceeded our expectations. The home was clean and comfortable as well as nicely furnished and decorated. We had morning coffee on the balcony overlooking the beach and gulf. The condo is located near shops and restaurants without being on the main highway, which made it very quiet and peaceful as well as convenient. The owners furnished the home with plenty of towels (which is sometimes not the case) and extra bedding. All in all we had a wonderful time and enjoyed the home immensely. We definitely plan to come back on our next trip to Destin!

This is an adorable condo that looks directly out onto the beach. The crossover is a mere hundred steps away (yes I counted)! I just can’t say enough about this awesome area and atmosphere and I will stay here every time I come to the beach.

This unit has an amazing view!
We have been coming to Destin for many years, and this unit by far has the best view and location! You cannot get any more “beachfront” than this. The owners were very accommodating and quick to respond.
This view & location will definitely bring us back. Perfect space for family of 4. You can’t beat the view!!!
Danna is quick to reply, always friendly & accommodating.

View is STUNNING.
It will be hard to find a better view than what this unit provides and the cushioned patio chairs made sitting out very comfy. Access to the beach is simple and we always love Louisiana Lagniappe which is right on property. Though we didn’t need to communicate with the owners, they checked on us to make sure everything was going smoothly.
