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.

Perfect Vacation Right on the Beach!

We loved this condo which directly faces the Gulf allowing us to enjoy dolphin watching every day! The balcony is a great place to enjoy coffee while watching tons of dolphin the morning playing right in front of you! During the day and early evening many dolphin tour boats came right by us to see them! The beach really is just steps away, the sand is so fluffy white it squeaks when you walk on it. The beach service was a huge plus. The condo itself is spacious and well taken care of. Clean and had plenty of everything you need for a week at the beach. Beds are comfy. Plenty of items like trash bags, TP, paper towels, etc were already there, so check in first before you purchase all of this for your stay. I highly recommend this condo!

Last minute get-a-way

You cannot beat the location of this property! The beaches weren’t overly crowded which was exactly what we were looking for when booking. The unit comes with beach service for two and was very roomy and clean. Master bed was very comfortable and having two bathrooms was a bonus! Property owner was very communicative and gave us several great restaurants to try while we were there. Overall very happy, we will be back!

Gulf Shore Drive is Amazing

This is our second time in Sand Piper Cove. The property was secure and clean. We love the Gulf Shore Drive location. You don’t ever need to get out on 98 to for anything. Winn Dixie is right across the road and there are great restaurants all around. If you are going to Destin this is the area to stay. The owner was super responsive to any questions we had before and during our stay.

Best stay yet!

We’ve been staying at Sandpiper Cove for 18 years and have rented condos all over the property. This one is by far the best one yet and you can’t stay any closer to the ocean anywhere! The check in process was simple and the property owner was quick to respond to questions and even checked in on us mid-week during our stay just to see how things were going. I plan to book this condo again for next year. Excellence all the way around!

Spring Break Fun

It was our first trip to Destin and this condo was amazing! We saw dolphins just about every day from the balcony overlooking the Gulf. The view was absolutely breathtaking! Danna was amazing with communication from the time we booked our trip until the very end. We made beautiful memories and would love to visit again and stay at this same condo someday!

Little slice of heaven

Location, location! We woke up on the very first day to an amazing view with dolphins playing right there in plain site. This trip was put off by covid for 2 years and I am so glad it was, cause it allowed us to find this gem. Right on the beach, huge patio to sit out and watch the sunrise every morning. Chairs saved on the beach for us everyday right in front of our unit. The house was super clean and had almost everything we needed to still have meals at home as far as utensils and baking items. The owners are amazing, so kind and very easy to communicate with. There was no need to travel with the amazing view we had here everyday. Woke up to the amazing sound of waves crashing and watched dolphins play. This was exactly the relaxation we needed after all of this covid stress. We would absolutely stay again! We had an incredibly hard time leaving. If you want to have an amazing view with awesome owners, definitely stay here!

Beautiful Beach Condo

The owners are wonderful and really made sure we had everything we needed. Great communication before and during our trip. The condo is right on the beach and the views are amazing. We seen dolphins every morning while sitting on the deck. We also got to see a sea turtle one night while walking the beach. So many selections of restaurants around the area and the owners also provided a list of their favorite restaurants which helped a lot. The complex also offers a lot of different amenities which was awesome as well. We will definitely be rebooking this condo. Thanks again for sharing your happy place!!
