We absolutely loved unit 1230. It had everything we were seeking, and especially loved the big deck out back adjacent to the harbor. It was fully equipped with all essentials, clean, and overall, a 5-star condominium. We've been renting at Sandpiper Cove since 1983, so we've had many great stays there. This condo was the best one we've stayed in.

Overall our vacation was a great one. Location is perfect for us. Fishing right off the balcony or bottom deck me Only complaint we had was when we called about a huge wasps nest under top of stairwell outside to be taken care of it was never addressed.

Perfect location! Right next to swimming pool for the kids, next to the Louisiana Lagniappe restaurant that glass impossible parking. We I'm just walked 10 steps inside. Beautiful condo, lots of space and supplies to cook at home and eat breakfast on the gorgeous back patio overlooking the harbor. Unreal view! We had a great trip!

Vacation rental experience was top notch. We really enjoyed the golf course, pickleball, and Louisiana Lagniappe restaurant located next door. Free Beach Service was a plus!

Loved sitting on our deck overlooking the harbor and docks drinking coffee in the morning or having snacks/ happy hours in the afternoon. The unit was clean and had a furnished kitchen. Out coffee pot leaked the first day and when management was made aware, a new coffee pot was at our unit in 2 hours. We could take our dog down the gated deck back steps to the waters edge for a walk, which was very convenient. If you have kids, the pool is right next to the unit (not loud) and the condo has a big side picture kitchen window to watch your older kids swim. The upscale restaurant next door was nice and quiet. Loved going to the beach (2 chairs/umbrella comes with condo) and eating a simple lunch at Rick’s Sand Trap restaurant which is on the beach. Reasonable priced food and they had alcoholic beverages too. We would go back.

It was a great experience. I enjoyed watching the birds in the bay. We felt blessed to have that condo. The sunset is great and the night lights were beautiful. The location is the best and it was very quiet.

We absolutely love this condo located off the harbor. This was our 5th time staying in this unit and love how quaint this unit is. The staff at SPC is always amazing and helpful. This unit is nicely updated and provides a ton of outdoor space for watching fireworks or playing poker at night!

An unexpected emergency necessitated a quick trip to FLA with our Aussiesdoodle in tow. We were extremely happy with our stay here. The hosts provided everything we needed, it was immaculate, modern and very comfortable. It was hard to leave. We would definitely stay again.

Codo 1230 is in a perfect location. Sunsets over the harbor were spectacular and just being able to sit out by the water made this condo special.
We were concerned that there would be a noise issue being right next to a pool and the restaurant. However, neither were a problem. We could hear people at the pool but perhaps due to the timing of when we were there the pool was rarely full or noisy.
The property is described accurately and there were no issues with anything being broken.
The toliet in the hall bathroom is bolted to the wall in a very low position. This might be a problem for some guests. Also, there is a small step up to the table that we tripped over a few times - just beware.
There was nothing in the kitchen beyond tableware and cooking implements. At some condos we have rented there are thngs such as salt and pepper, sugar, foil etc. Not a problem just plan to bring or buy those things if you want them.
The photos are acruate so pay attention. There is only a small round table inside. We often ate outside but we were there at and after Labor Day and the heat was not too bad.
All in all it was a great experience and we would definitely rent this unit again. Thank you for sharing this great location with us.

Beautiful unit with great views. Kitchen had everything we needed. Very comfortable. The only drawback was the floors were really dirty. We had to flip flops inside or our feet would be black. The guest bathroom has a child height toilet.

We absolutely loved staying at this condo. The condo is in the perfect location to all the good stuff Destin has to offer. The condo was clean, well-appointed, and nicely decorated. There was no need to go out much, we enjoyed the spectacular views from the balcony.

This was my family's first time staying at Sandpiper Cove Condo. The location of unit 1230 is perfect! It is right next to the restaurant, tennis courts, pool with a view of the harbor. We love the harbor view from the balcony. It was tranquil, relaxing, and peaceful. The balcony is huge and has plenty of patio furniture. There is also a back gate with stairs leading to the grass area from the back balcony for our dog. We enjoyed eating our meals out on the balcony with a view of the sunrise or sunset. The size of the condo is perfect for our family of four plus a small dog. The kitchen is fully equipped and has plenty of dishes, pots, pans, etc. We appreciate having a washer and dryer in the unit to wash our beach towels daily. The beds were comfortable. We also liked the huge shower with 2 shower heads in the master bathroom. We also appreciated having the beach service provide 2 beach chairs and an umbrella each day. I am rating this condo 4 stars because the floor in the unit was dirty. Also, the water drains very slowly in the bathtub in the second bathroom so we didn't use the shower in this bathroom. I think the floor needs a good mopping after each guest's stay. However, we enjoyed our stay and plan to come back to Sandpiper Cove the next time we are in Destin.

We are repeat customers at Sandpiper Cove Resort and have actually stayed in Condo #1230 numerous times in the past. We specifically reserve Condo #1230 based on its location with a harbor view and pool and restaurant nearby.
However, we had a major issue this time with the poor quality of the master bedroom mattress. It's real thin and sinks down in the middle of your back. You can feel wires inside the mattress with your hands. Besides being a really cheap quality mattress it is way beyond its useful lifetime. I expect a premium quality pillow-top mattress in a condo at this price point.
I addressed the mattress issue with Sandpiper Cove rental management the first day there. They contacted the owner who said the mattress is fine and will not be replaced. Unfortunately, the Rental Manager at Sandpiper Cove would not even come over to look at the mattress. So, you've been warned about the poor mattress quality.
One other minor issue was the dirty floors. The unit has hard floors throughout and we found our feet would got really dirty when walking around barefoot. Just needs a really good regular mopping!
The toilet in the guest bath is very low down. It is not really suitable for adult guests. It is fine for children but very awkward for adults.
Unfortunately, I won't reserve this unit again in the future or recommend it to others until I'm given an assurance that the master bedroom mattress has been replaced with a new much upgraded model.

We stayed for a quick trip over spring break. The house was clean and location couldn't be beat! The beach service was excellent and there's even a little restaurant so you don't have to come back for lunch! There is a weight limit for your dogs, we didn't see it before paying our deposit, but the owners were excellent to work with and we were able to work it out! Definitely will be back!

What a view right off the back balcony. This unit is beautifully decorated and centrally located to all the action. The gated community is pet friendly and quiet. All the cupboards are stocked well with dishes, bowls, plates and all the cooking utensils you could possibly need. The ONLY negative was the broken down king mattress in the master bedroom.

The The back deck is large with seating for more than 6 and an amazing evening view of the marina! We will choose the same unit again for our next set of memories!!!

We have stayed in this unit many times, and are very pleased with the upgrades that have been done through the years. The location is fabulous...a glorious view of the harbor with beautiful sunsets. It is very clean and furnished/decorated with tasteful, up-to-date furnishings. As I've mentioned before, the toilet in the hall bathroom is quite low. I do wish a standard size commode could be installed. The only other thing "lacking" was the amount of silverware...forks and teaspoons, in particular, along with a few sharp knives. However, neither of these concerns would keep us from returning next year. I am merely sharing honest feedback that would make the unit even more "perfect." Jamal, at the front desk, was very pleasant/welcoming and professional when we checked in. Thank you for another great week at Sandpiper!!

Overall our stay was very enjoyable as our condo was quite livable compared to last year when it was under construction the whole time. Somehow there needs to be a table and chairs for at least 4 persons to sit and enjoy a meal. The dryer needs to be cleaned and maintained on a regular basis and the handyman was quite helpful in doing so.

The condo was excellent and in the perfect location for watching the nightly sunsets which were beautiful. One of the property's pools is just beside the condo along with the Louisiana Lagniappe restaurant which is awesome. We will definitely planned to stay here again on future trips.

We enjoyed our time at the the condo. The beach was very close as was the heated pool/hot tub. The condo was nicely updated although it could have been cleaner. It looked like the condo exteriors all needed a good painting, too. We hope to come back again.

This a relaxing place at a decent price. If you bring a boat, it has easy access to crab island.

The location of this unit must have the best views in the place. My kids loved walking off the back deck down to the harbor and pool and it made my life easier that I could see them from the windows of the condo. Beach access was easy, the full kitchen was super convenient and you are just a hop away from retail, which makes taking a vacation with kids less stressful. Everything was clean and fresh, a very easy vacation. At one time, we had a concern about our AC, but the staff was there in less than 5 minutes to check it out for us. They were all great! We'll visit again!
