The owners’ communication was cordial, prompt and thorough. Check-in check out was a breeze. Quaint studio in the Sandpiper community - this is probably the best location in the community as it right across the street from beach access. The community itself is great to walk and has several pools and hot tubs.It is close to everything Destin has to offer!
