Sandpiper Cove Studios By Holiday Isle

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.

Make sure and take extra towels!! Lots and lots to do in the area! We booked the same unit for our next trip this summer! Looking forward to going back.

Nice place to stay, will be booking here when I go to destin.

The stay was awesome! The resort had everything 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!

The condo was very clean. There was only a pull out bed and it was very uncomfortable. There was no 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.

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.

The location of the condo was great. It was nice to be able to walk to the beach. And the beach was beautiful. We also liked the fact that it was so well furnished. We did not use much of the kitchen, but know that there is a nice fridge, a good stove, useful microwave, and all what you could need for cooking. Now why the low review? There were a couple of things that were not that nice, and they really were deal breakers. First, there is a big window/door which has nothing but a curtain. Even though the glass seemed to have some kind of stain, we did not think the curtain offered much privacy. Second, (and it's getting worse as I go), there was a big step in the bathroom. I tripped on it a million times. Once I did as I was stepping back and if my husband wasn't close, I would have hit my head to the border of the bathtub. Very dangerous. And last and most disappointing: the bed. The bed was super uncomfortable. You felt first that your head were always higher than your head, and you are constantly falling to the middle. It's like the sides are WAY higher than the center. As days went by our back pain grew stronger. So even though we liked the location, and it was clean, and people were nice around... we would not stay there again. I don't plan (ever) to spend a lot of time in the hotel/room when I go on vacation. But I need to have a decent sleep. Last thing: we discovered an extra key to the apartment under the door mat outside, which could be seen without much effort.

The condo was nice, close to the beach, shopping, the atmosphere was great
