Thank you so much for this amazing review! Hearing this from returning Sandpiper Cove guests truly means a lot to us. We're so happy this visit was such a memorable one, and we can't wait to welcome you back for another Destin vacation!
This rental was perfect for our trip! It was very clean and organized. Our 2 year old had plenty of room to safely play with her toys!

Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We're happy your family felt comfortable and at home throughout your visit. It means a lot knowing the space worked so well for your little one, too. We hope to welcome you all back to Destin again soon!
This unit was very well appointed. The shower was amazing! It was spotless when we arrived, everything fresh and clean. Quality towels and bedding; kitchen well stocked. The host thought of everything, from shampoo/conditioner, to trash bags! The deck was large and offered peaceful views of the canal (and the resident crane in the pine tree!). We've stayed at several units at SPC over the years, and this is the only one I would consider booking again. The host was very responsive to communications. Having the beach service included was an extra bargain. SPC may be an old property, but it's still beautifully maintained. We also rented bikes, and it was so convenient to be able to bike for breakfast at Local Market, or down to Noriega Point to watch the sunset. We thoroughly enjoyed our week's stay, and look forward to the next chance to book this unit at SPC.
