Modern Sandpiper Retreat: 2 King Suites + Resort Golf, Pickleball & Dining

Escape to Sandpiper Cove in Destin, Florida – your perfect vacation destination in the heart of paradise. Nestled just steps away from sugar-white sands and emerald waters, our resort offers plenty of exciting activities, including boating, fishing, golfing, beaching, dining, and more.

Our beautiful vacation rental property is located within the wonderful Sandpiper Cove community, just a short walk away from the stunning beach. Access to the beach is easy through the designated beach path, which can be reached in just 10 minutes. However, we understand that many guests prefer the convenience of driving to the private, gated beach for easy transportation of beach gear. You'll find that the private beach access is just a few seconds away from where you park your car in the gated parking lot which can only be accessed with a code. Once you arrive at the beach, you'll find everything you need for a perfect day in the sun, including a beach bar, chair & umbrella rentals, bathrooms, and showers. So sit back, relax, and enjoy the beautiful white sand and crystal clear waters of the Gulf of Mexico!

Looking for some adventure? Catch a $10 round trip boat ride directly from the condo to Harborwalk Village – home to AJ's, HarryT's, and Dewey Destin's, to name a few. Enjoy a fun boat ride, live music, fireworks, and festivities at Harborwalk without worrying about driving or parking.

Craving some amazing cuisine? Look no further than Louisiana Lagniappe – a top-rated restaurant on TripAdvisor that wins the Award of Excellence year after year. Additionally, Rick's Sandtrap is a beachside food & drink bar that is excellent for lunch and kid's snow cones.

Our accommodations offer everything you need for a comfortable stay, including 2 King beds, twin bunks, sofa bed, TV (3)/Cable, Wi-Fi, a full kitchen, washer/dryer, and more.

Sandpiper Cove boasts 43 scenic acres with 1,100 feet of private beachfront access, vehicle and golf cart parking, boat launch and slip, a 9-hole par-3 golf course, five heated swimming pools, three hot tubs, six tennis courts, Louisiana Lagniappe Restaurant, Rick's Sand Trap Beach Bar & Grill, and beach rentals like chairs, umbrellas, paddleboards, and kayaks.

Please note that our accommodations are not handicap-equipped and are located on the third level without elevator access. Sandpiper Cove is both kid and pet-friendly (fee required)– perfect for families seeking a fun and memorable vacation experience.
The condo is air-conditioned and features a kitchen, 2 bathrooms, and a balcony, and there's space to spread out with 2 bedrooms. Guests can expect to find free WiFi and a Smart TV with a DVD player. Other standard amenities include a washer/dryer, a sofa bed, and a coffee maker.

The condo is in a great community: walking distance to the beach, great pools, pickle-ball courts, 9 hole golf and kept up very nice.The unit itself was very comfortable and clean. The kitchen had plenty of supplies to cook and eat in. Beds were very comfortable. We would definitely stay here again! The only thing I would note is there are 4 flights of stairs to get to the unit so for those with bad knees etc, keep that in consideration.

The owner of this property was very responsive, which we appreciated. A few important notes from our stay:Pet Policy: While the listing states the home is pet-friendly, it would have been extremely helpful to note that dogs are NOT allowed on Destin beaches. Had we known, we would have left our pup at home.Front Door Lock: The lock did not work properly. I had to record the issue and send it to the owner, who then gave us a backup passcode to access the key. It worked, but was inconvenient to keep track of.Washer/Dryer: We packed light because the listing mentioned a washer/dryer, but the dryer was broken. The owner offered to send a repair tech, but I didn’t want to spend vacation time coordinating repairs. She did later agree to work out a discount.Cleanliness: The property was not very clean upon arrival. Ceiling fans and vents had caked-on dust, and the guest room mirror had visible smudges and handprints. I sent photos to the owner as requested, along with bedding pictures.Furnishings: The couch was not very comfortable, so we avoided spending much time on it.Plumbing: By day 4, the guest bathroom toilet started making a loud squealing noise and ran continuously unless we shut off the water. I shared a video with the owner.We decided to cut our trip short by one day because of these ongoing issues. To the owner’s credit, she did refund us for the unused night and added a little extra for the inconveniences (washer, lock, cleanliness, and toilet issue).

Lacie is a great host, I’ve been going to sandpiper cove for 25 years, I love everything about it. As I’m getting older tho I can climb stairs like I use to, I should’ve know that as many time as I’ve stayed there… love the parking underneath condo, but forgot it was then actually 3 flights instead of two - weather was great, and Lacie has chairs beach towel ect for your stay
