The Sandpiper is an awesome place to stay!!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We loved our stay and the condo space! It was just enough space for our family of 4. It was cozy but we didn’t mind that and it was a cool place to rest in between fun! We loved having the pool right out the back door of our unit and then we were such a quick walk to the beach! The security of the gated community was nice also! Would stay again!!

Great Vacation and Rental Unit

From the moment we checked in with the on site manager, to the very end of the stay, everyone was so welcoming and helpful. We were 3 minutes walking distance to the beach and the condo was very clean especially for my standards. I also loved that this condo had its own washer and dryer. The only thing I would have liked more was if this was a king size bed but I’d stay here every time I come visit from now on!

Perfect little spot!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The unit was perfect for our needs! Small and cozy! And convenient! Only about a 3 or 4 minute walk to the beach. Very organized layout, not difficult getting in and out or finding the unit. Parking right at your door. I love that it’s a gated facility and I love having the security! Makes it a very organized and a well managed place! The unit was very clean!! And plenty of towels and places to put stuff even in a small unit. The best ever was the pool access directly off the back deck! And the extra beach equipment in the closet was a plus!!

Best Vacation in a lifetime a long time!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We stayed in unit 8115 and loved it the condo was VERY clean and was just enough space for three people. We all loved how close we were to one of the pools and it was only a short walk to the beach. I also like that they have security at the gate and walking around. I would most definitely recommend this unit and I would stay in it again. It’s perfect. 🌴🏖️

Great location...minutes to the Beach!

PROS: - less than 5 minute walk to the beach - nice quiet pool right outside the back door - more than enough space for 2 adults - Murphy bed was more comfortable than expected - available beach cooler/cooler bag - Sandpiper Cove staff were extremely pleasant and helpful CONS: - beach chairs & umbrella needs to be replaced - both were either broken or in poor condition - although nicely equipped, the kitchen was missing some basic stuff I've had with other vacation rentals. ie - coffee filters, salt & pepper and at least 1 roll of paper towels. - floors could have been cleaner. Appeared not be be mopped, or not mopped well enough prior to our arrival. There was visible film/dirt when we wiped the floors.

July Vacation for our Family of Four

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Sandpiper Cove. We have come to this property more than once now, and will continue to visit. Our unit was clean and accommodated our needs perfectly. We have two small children who shared the pull out couch bed. My husband and I slept on the Murphy bed. The property has five swimming pools, which is SO wonderful because it means everyone staying on site is not sharing one swimming pool. There is a pool directly behind our unit, so the convenience is fabulous. There’s not a better place to stay in Destin for the price and all the amenities that come with the property. The beach is either a short drive or walk across the street. We love that it is a private beach and it is not too crowded. Finally, I will say that we felt very safe at the property. The security is present as you come through the gate and they check to make sure EACH car coming through is supposed to be on the property. The worst part of our stay is when we have to leave!

Awful!! Not upgraded!! Junk!!! Don’t waste your money on 8115

Rating Details: The property manager was very unhelpful. The vacation rental was very dirty. I was somewhat unhappy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The worst waste of money I have ever spent in my whole life!!! Small outdated, smell of mold and musk. Dryer vent was falling off and stained my clothes, the mattress at night when I was sleeping I could feel every spring. The check in lady and one of the laundry exchange ladies were rude and nasty. Only good thing it’s by the beach. Better off staying at a different resort along the beach. I would have rather stayed at the motel 6 across the street!!!! Also had no toilet paper or trash bags or napkins. Email the owners twice never heard anything either time!! It’s a dump

Great place to stay

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This is my goto place to stay in Destin. Quiet gated community, but close to everything - Harborwalk, beach, great restaurants, grocery, et. al. When I'm by myself, I stay in one of the studios. 8115 if its available. I can't say enough good things about the staff. The place - not just the condo, the entire resort - is clean, well-kept, cared-for. The office staff are invariably welcoming and helpful. I could say some things about the golf course, but they'd probably be censored. For a short pitch-and-put course, it's trickier than you might think. One of these days though, I'm going to get it right.I've probably stayed at Sandpiper 20 times by now. Always enjoyed it.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The Condo was super nice and clean. It is small but my husband and I stayed there with our toddlers and it was perfect for us. The fact that it's a walk across the street from the beach was awesome and it's not off the main road so you don't have to cross the very busy streets. There's also a pool right there in the backyard which was awesome. We couldn't have picked a better condo for us to stay at with out kids.
