Nice place!

Nice area. Great staff, quick to respond to problems. Bathroom was a bit of a safety hazard with raised area for commode & step down into shower, Lots of outside stairs for seniors, but overall, good place to stay.

Beware!

Beware! The unit advertised appeared to be on the water - the unit rented was not! The actual unit smelled like a dirty ashtray and was outdated and "shop worn." The resort fees are very high (note they are a separate, additional fee beyond your room rental!) Management claimed no other units were available and their only solution to the nasty odor was to have housekeeping spray the place down with an intensely sweet room freshener - yuck! No refund or fee reduction offered. We stayed at 3 properties during our Destin vacation - Sandpiper Cove was by far the most expensive and the most disappointing!

Stay was great. Everything from check in and assistance from Morgan was excellent. Some minor maintenance to the unit (as reported) and being able to get the TV to work would have it A#1.

Lesson learned!!!

Initially I booked a studio. Big mistake! Had to upgrade with Sandpiper, loved it. The studio is a pull out bed n sofa bed. Everything smashed together. Upgraded to a one bedroom, bunk beds in separate area n living room had a sofa bed. We also had a full kitchen washer dryer the works.

It was a nice little condo for me and my fiancé. It was a short walk to the beach and close driving distance to resturants.

Sandpiper Cove was awesome! We had private beach access just a short walk away. The studio we had was spacious and very clean. I would definitely recommend Sandpiper Covered to anyone looking for a beautiful, quite place to stay.

Know what you are getting

This is not a hotel. This is a condo unit across a busy 4 lane road from the beach. The two beds Expedia said it had were a pull out couch and pull down Murphy bed. With them down, the only room left to move was the kitchenette (nice) and bathroom (small and dated). All making up of beds was up to us.no maid service ( not a hotel) The wifi did not work. I spent hours of my 72 hour 'vacation' dealing with that. Finally, 17 hours before we left, I sat for two hours with a repairman while he figured out there was no router. Finally fixed This was after several blood pressure raising telephone conversations with the typical cable type people telling you to unplug it and wait 10 minutes and then replug..........Oh, the smoke detector battery decided it was dying at 4:30 am Sunday morning and proceeded to beep mercilessly. The battery was not in the back. Finally got the battery out. So it took them 36 hours to get that safety feature fixed. And, when they came they fussed that I had taken the battery out. Like anyone could live with that beeping for 2 days! The beach was nice The taxes and fees on this place made it cost a third more.

Perfect location for what we needed.

Didn't have much to go on as far as reviews and we typically stay in a hotel when we visit, but took a chance on Sandpiper Cove. Overall we were impressed with the amenities, cleanliness, and proximity to everything Destin related. The private beach across the street was a huge plus. Will definitely stay there again!

Great location and neighborhood, awful bedroom

Worst bedroom ever. VERY UNCOMFORTABLE BED. Slept on the couch every night... Alone....Without my boyfriend when we tried to get away. Weird liquid oozing out of a closet by the kitchen... It never stopped and we never figured out what it was. Had to step over it everytime we walked thru the hallway. BIGGEST NEGATIVE- The bedroom was dreadful... As i said, the bed was terrible, no overhead lighting/ceiling fan, an awful color blue, and no tv ?!?! Miserable bedroom.

Best week of the beach in my life!

Everything about our trip was great. Take the water taxi everywhere! Restaurants, beaches, shopping, etc can all be reached by a water taxi. So cool. Jim on the boat was our BFF.
