Reviewer Comments:
the condo was great. The bathrooms could have been cleaner. Everything was as advertised. We have only one suggestion, and that is to put reflection paint on the stairs into the condo. At night it is hard to see each stair as you are coming in or going out and could be a fall hazard for older guest. Otherwise it is a great unit and we hope to come back again .
Great location, walkable distance to the beach. Little restaurant bar close by was good too.

Our condo was exactly what I was looking for! Clean. Breathtaking views right on the beach. Spacious and comfortable. Had everything we needed plus other “ little things” that I didn’t expect!! The beach was clean and beautiful and we had no issues getting chairs where we wanted. The largest pool with the hot tubs was closed the week we were there and that was disappointing but that is really the only thing that we were upset about. The checking in and out process was smooth. We booked directly through Sandpiper and no issues at all. The beds and pillows were not so comfortable but that’s something that I can fix by bringing my own pillows next time. I would absolutely recommend this unit to others. I plan to stay in this exact unit when I return to Destin. Overall, I am very happy with my stay here and will be returning!

Gorgeous view & location. Kitchen well stocked-thank you Both primary & guest beds not comfortable. Primary had been supported underneath with wooden blocks. Guest has all torn lining underneath Tile floors really need a good deep cleaning. Bathrooms also need a good deep/ scrub cleaning We appreciated the beach chairs & umbrellas; however information as to the setup was different than stated. We had to go down each morning, wait in line to give our name in order to have someone take us to a vacant spot that was not reserved. No problem other than being in the beach @7:30 in the morning to wait until 9a! We did enjoy the location very much-beautiful

We have visited Sandpiper Cove many times over the past 10-12 years. This was our favorite beach-side unit ever! It is very comfortable and has great views from the large deck. We have watched our daughter grow up on our beach trips there and loved seeing her get married on this same beach!

We waited to see what the weather would be like in Destin for Spring Break before we booked somewhere to stay. We found unit 2156 in Sandpiper Cove and absolutely loved it! The view was amazing! The community it is in is nice and quiet with great amenities. It is very close to restaurants and family activities. We highly recommend this property!

Reviewer Comments:
Although this unit has recently been partially upgraded there are still lingering problems. The half inch gap under the front door allowed very cold air to pour in to the unit with a north wind. We had to put a towel under the door to stop it. A repair was attempted but what is needed is a storm door as they removed one and never replaced it. They could have removed the two dead cockroaches before we got there as well. We had to call them to replace the handle on the sliding door as it was broken off and a very sharp piece is all that remained. They have added a large balcony to the north side of the unit, well out of the sun while we were there. Lastly, we have been informed that the cost of next winters (Jan.1-March 15) stay anywhere on the beach side will more than double and that is unacceptable in our view. We enjoyed it while it lasted!

Have rented this unit for 5+years. Always a heavenly experience, beautiful views beautiful condo home.
Gulf View was amazing! Deck patio furniture was beachy and awesome! Room was as described. Check-in was at 4pm and we didn't get into our room until almost 6pm due to cleaning staff shortage! Property staff was very apologetic about late check-in but it was still frustrating! Otherwise a great condo!
We had the best weekend trip! This place is great location, very clean with great amenities. We were surprised to see that we had beach chairs rentals included in our stay. Can’t wait to come back

We love Sandpiper Cove. The location is perfect. The view from the balcony is like something out of a magazine. The patio furniture is great and the living room is spacious and comfortable. This unit needs some work though. Many electrical outlets and lights didn’t work. Paint seems to be peeling in the bathrooms. I really wish the master bathroom had a tub/shower combo.

We loved this condo. There is an electrical issue of concern. It's a random intermittent problem. A wall socket or light switch will not work. Then some time later it will work. Happened throughout the condo. I would have the electrical system checked.

We have stayed in Sandpiper Cove in several different units over the years. This in particular unit is about as close to the beach as you can get in Sandpiper cove. The unit was very nice with the exception of the mattresses in both bedrooms were very uncomfortable. We ended up having to purchase a mattress topper following the first night to make them more comfortable. No other issues with this unit.
