This condo was the perfect place for our family of 4. The accommodations were wonderful, the distance/access to the beach was great, and we loved the included umbrella and chairs!
The place was great for our family of 5! Close walk to the beach and beautiful view of the canal. Only negative comment I would say is wish there was a bigger table to eat breakfast and dinners. Not a huge deal. We would definitely stay here again!

Thank you so much for your kind review! We’re thrilled to hear your family enjoyed the condo, the short walk to the beach, and the canal view. We appreciate your note about the dining space—we’re always looking for ways to improve and will keep that in mind for future updates. We’d love to welcome you back anytime!
Hostess was very prompt answering emails. Information rearding stay and check out procedures very clear. Was a bit disappointed in what was provided based on other VRBO stays. There were 5 of us but only had 4 bathtowels, a couple of washcoths and 1 hand towel, for a 3 day stay. did not have any kleenex, no extras in kitchen, ie spices, salt,pepper, sugar, coffee creamer, etc.Overall very clean property and easy access to restraunts, shopping, beach.

Thank you for your stay and for taking the time to share your feedback! I’m glad you found the condo clean and appreciated the clear check-in and check-out information.
Regarding towels — our listing specifies one towel set per guest and two beach towels provided. For your stay, we actually stocked five white bathroom towel sets under the bathroom sinks, three beach towels under the master vanity, and four additional flex towels in the master closet that can be used for showering or the beach — a total of 12 towels provided for your party of five. It sounds like a few of those may have been overlooked during your stay, and I wish you would have reached out so I could have pointed you to the extras.
As for kitchen items — we focus on keeping the condo fully stocked with cookware, utensils, bakeware, and small appliances to make it easy for guests who enjoy cooking while on vacation. We typically provide salt and pepper, but the containers had absorbed moisture prior to your arrival and had to be discarded for freshness. Other items such as coffee, creamer, sugar, and spices aren’t included intentionally — because they’re perishable or frequently handled, providing them between guests poses potential hygiene and cross-contamination concerns. To maintain high cleanliness standards, we only stock sealed, non-perishable starter supplies, which are detailed in the listing.
I appreciate your comments and am glad you enjoyed the property’s cleanliness and convenient location. We hope to welcome you back next time you’re in Destin!
We had a very nice time at our condo at Sandpiper Cove! It was very clean and comfortable, even for our family of 7. We enjoyed having private beach access and also having the pools and hot tubs and activities available on the resort. We would definitely recommend staying here and hope to be back again!
This was a great place for our family to stay. Being on the canal was perfect for the kids. They saw/fed fish, ducks, and turtles. It was within walking distance to the beach. It felt like home! We would definitely stay here again!
We enjoyed our stay at this cute condo on the canal! We loved sitting on the balcony and watching the birds, turtles and fish! It was a short walk to the beach and pools. Also the restaurant within the condo complex was a short walk and amazing food and views! We enjoyed our stay in Destin!
We decided to duplicate our family vacations from 20 years ago with our grand kids and adult children. Sandpaper is a great place to make memories. Kids loved golf and the pools
The unit is well maintained with comfortable furnishings and easy access to the beach and surrounding community. The owner's were readily available to immediately answer any and all questions as well as being highly responsive to any concern we identified. In short, a highly enjoyable stay and I highly recommend this property for your vacation or spring break getaway.
What an amazing stay for our extended family. Condo is great and updates with abundance of sleeping space for the extended family. Kitchen had everything needed for cooking family meals. All appliances are new and great. Kinds enjoyed feeding turtles and fish from the balcony. Hosts are very responsive and made our family feel welcome. Thank you and we will definitely be back!
The location was good with a nice view of the canal and short walk to the beach. 2 heated pools to choose from which was also nice. Condo was good and spacious and clean though the couch looks like it could be replaced. Overall it was good and we were happy with our stay.
Golf is nine holes but a pitch and putt so you won’t need your whole set.
Everything about this place was perfect! It was so clean (I have anxiety about cleanliness and didn’t worry 1 bit)! It was also very kid friendly. I have my four and three year old sons with us and I didn’t have to constantly worry if they were going to break anything. Everything is very thought out; enough hooks to hang dry everyone’s clothes, any kitchen appliances or pots we needed was there, cleaning supplies. There’s not one suggestion I would have to make this place better!
We enjoyed our time at 3106 so much. Everything was clean and there was plenty of starter household items to get us going the first evening. It was nice to have access to golf clubs and pickleball. Kids loved feeding the ducks and fish in the canal. So nice to have some games to play too, and the layout was very nice. We would love to stay here again! We have stayed on top floor with covered parking before and the steps in this condo (6 to get to the door) felt like nothing! Neighbors all quiet and friendly. Very safe atmosphere. Loved the beach service too! Thank you!

Thanks Johnna, we are so glad you enjoyed your stay! We hope to host your family again next year!
You will not be disappointed with this amazing condo. Molly and Lee are wonderful to work with. My whole family thought the condo looked even better than the pictures. My family and I have stayed at Sandpiper for the last 10 years. We love Sandpiper, but this is the first time we felt "home". Thank you Molly and Lee for sharing your vacation home with us. We cooked most meals there and you had everything I needed to cook/bake with. We will see be back next year! Thank you again. :)
First of all, the condo is pristine, comfortable and quiet. It has all you need to cook dinner at home or you can walk to the restaurant in the complex (Lagniappe) which was fabulous! Get there when it opens to avoid standing in the line. The condo is in a great location to get to the beach/water, play the Par 3 golf course or play tennis. The complex is in a great location also, only a 2 min drive to a grocery store, liquor store, and plenty of other dining options. And Lee and Molly went above and beyond helping us in every way possible. Super hosts for sure!!! We would def stay here again! Thank you for everything!!!

I grew up in Ohio, lived in North Carolina for nearly a decade, moved back to Ohio for a couple of years and now live in Destin. Prior to moving to Destin I vacationed here frequently and always enjoyed staying at other host's condos and now I am fortunate enough to be a host myself!
Why they chose this property
Sandpiper Cove is a unique property for the area. The vast amenities on-site drew me to the community. Across 43 acres of private, gated property there are 5 pools (2 heated), hot tubs, pickleball, tennis, shuffle board, horse shoes, and a par-3 golf course! Sandpiper Cove also has a private beach spanning 1,100 feet on the Gulf of Mexico. It's a golf cart friendly community too. There is even an on-site private marina that you can pay to dock your boat. There are several restaurants that are walkable from our condo including Louisiana Lagniappe which is inside the Sandpiper Cove complex.
What makes this property unique
This condo has double French doors opening up to the canal where you can see a variety of marine life and coastal birds. The condo is decorated in beach decor and is fully renovated. It can sleep up to 8 people (1 King, 1 Queen, Twin Bunk Beds, and full size pullout couch). Centrally located in Sandpiper Cove making it a short walk to any of the amenities. The kitchen has everything you need for short and extended stays!
