We enjoyed all that SPC has to offer. It was nice to be such a close walking distance to the beach and still have other available activities such as the par 3 golf, pools, shuffleboard. We were able to take my son for walks around the community to see the boats at the harbor/the ducks and next time I think we will take our bikes. At first I thought that I might miss having a place directly on the beach, but the walking distance ends up being about the same as when you stay in a high rise, and it's so nice to be able to drive right up to your place.

This will be our fourth stay. We've always stayed on the canal in #1033 and it is wonderful!!!! It is fully furnished with lots of extras - movies, books, etc.- and they have a free setup (2 beach chairs and an umbrella) every day for guests. We were disappointed that it was not available for our stay in Oct. so we'll be staying in a different condo. We deal directly with the owners of #1033 and they are delightful and helpful in every way. We've never met, but honestly, they feel like friends because we've e-mailed and spoken by phone so much. It is only a one bedroom (with a pull out couch), one bath condo but it is just like home.

My family vacations at Sandpiper Cove every summer. The staff is friendly and helpful, especially the folks at the gate house where you enter and exit the property. The 2 bedroom 2 bath condo is clean, comfortable and roomy - perfect for kids. We rented a condo on the canal because it is less expensive than the Gulf view rentals. The kids love the canal because they can fish off the boardwalk. We uaually hang out on the beautiful white sand and crystal clear surf each day, and it is a very short walk to the beach from the condo we rented. There are several pools to choose from. My husband and kids love the 3 par golf course that runs through the property - so be sure to bring your clubs. There are also tennis courts and shuffle board. The only thing I wish Sandpiper Cove had was a playground. There is definitly enough space on the property to put one! If you go, be sure to eat at the Louisianna Restaurant on the property. There is also a beach bar located by the Gulf with good fish sandwiches. Sandpiper Cove is located right in the heart of Destin. We have been coming to Destin for over 15 years - you will not find a more beautiful beach anywhere in the US!

My family and I have been guests once yearly for 20 years. My children and I have spent weekly vacations in Destin since before they both could walk. Never ever had any problems. We even visited the first week in Aug 2010 with our children and then they went off to college and my husband and I returned to attend a wedding. Each year I either overnite a check well in advance to cover the entire stay....a business check....or I
write them a check upon arrival. First week in August ......no problem they took my money...or should I say check.....end of August......we were told flatly no that they didn't take checks. I expressed that they had certainly not had a problem 3 weeks earlier only to be told there were many vacancies but not without cash or a credit card. The very rude young lady would not confirm our 20 years of staying there.......but thats ok.....God works in mysterious ways.......we will now be spending our time and money or should I say checks in a different location by the bridge in a beautiful new resort. So thank you you did me a favor.
