Curtis Edwards
I’ve stayed in every beach town between Destin & 30A for over 25 years - except Miramar - prior to our recent week. Hands down the best location and the most comfortable quarters I’ve ever personally experienced! Sandpiper Cottage is perfectly situated to take advantage of all of the amazing restaurants in Destin and all along 30A. The private beach club for Emerald Shores was excellent and the beach never crowded. We tried a few new restaurants this trip - Acme Oyster House, Mezcal (best Mexican Ive ever had stateside), Shunk Gulley Oyster Bar and really enjoyed Kenny Ds for several beach break lunches and 3pm to 6pm happy hours many afternoons. We attempted Outcast Seafood out last night but unfortunately waited a bit too late and the wait was prohibitive - amazing reviews so I will visit them earlier in the week on my next trip. Kim and Spencer have done a great job making Sandpiper Cottage truly a home away from home and we are already looking at dates for Summer of 2025!!
Thank you Curtis!! We are thrilled you had such a great trip and we are looking forward to hosting you again next year for sure!! :) - Kim and Spencer

This place is great for your beach house feel. We were able to go as a family and everyone enjoyed the many amenities offered (there’s so many). Pools were great, tennis and basketball court. The walk to the beach wasn’t bad but there’s also some really kind people on golf carts that will drive you up to the beach access area! The house itself was great! Clean, spacious, fully stocked with all the things you need/want! Hosts are great at communicating for anything and everything. We loved it!!
Thank you Alycia! We enjoyed hosting you and hope you'll come back to Sandpiper Cottage!

Sandpiper Cottage was our slice of beachside bliss. It had everything we could ask for and more. The kitchen had all the essentials, and there were plenty of comfy spots to kick back and relax. The beds were like clouds, and our little one was thrilled with her room's cute decor. The walk to the beach was a bit of a trek for the kids, but the wagon provided made hauling our gear to the beach pavilion a breeze. Renting a golf cart would be a game-changer for added convenience, though. Kim and Spencer were fantastic hosts, answering all the questions we had. We had a blast at the Gulfarium, and lunch at Fat Boys Burgers was a hit. Kenny D's was our go-to spot, especially for those killer hushpuppies and drinks at the bar. And Bruster's Ice Cream? So many flavors, so little time! The Indian Bayou Golf Course was fantastic, too. Thanks to Kim and Spencer for being such great hosts. We're already dreaming of our next getaway at Sandpiper Cottage!
Thank you Gage! We loved hosting your sweet family and friends! We hope you'll come back every year!! :)

This home is fabulous! The owners are very meticulous and have thought of everything. There is a lot of attention to detail throughout the home. They have taken the time to put together a welcome book- which was also sent as a digital copy when I booked. It was nice to be able to see this ahead of time since we had never been to the area. It includes information about the home, the neighborhood, along with area restaurants and things to do. There is also a welcome basket on the counter that included a large variety of snacks which was very appreciated after a long day of traveling. There are also labels on switches to indicate what they are for (lights, fans) which is so helpful when you're not familiar with a home. It's the little things that make a big difference. The home is VERY clean- immaculate! The owners provide the basics for your stay: small dish soap, new sponge, travel sized toiletries in both bathrooms, a roll of paper towels, and some toilet paper. This was especially appreciated since we flew and only had carry-on luggage. The kitchen is well stocked with utensils, dishes, cookware, and towels. Communication with the owner was excellent from the first time I inquired about the property. There was always a quick response to emails when I had questions. I appreciated the information and suggestions she provided (Walmart grocery delivery was perfect and the Dollar General is very short walk. The Dollar General is very nice and they sell alcohol and a ton of food- different from what I've seen in NY). I highly recommend the grocery delivery- who wants to spend time grocery shopping when you're on vacation? I really appreciated this suggestion! The neighborhood is lovely. The landscaping at the house and around the whole neighborhood is gorgeous and everything is very nicely maintained. There are plenty of lounge chairs and lots of space at the pool. It's an easy walk to the gorgeous white sand beach. We loved our stay here and would definitely stay again!
Thank you Lorrie! So glad you loved your stay with us! We look forward to hosting you again!

We had a great stay with our granddaughter she loved the pool. the place was quiet. The beach was perfect, very clear water. We enjoyed our stay at your lovely place
LaDonna D.
Sandpiper Cottage was a great house to stay at. The house is just like the pictures and clean. It was a beautiful home that accommodated 5 adults and a 1 yr old. It was about a 10 min walk to beach but there was also a beach neighborhood shuttle that ran so that was great but they end at 5pm so we walked back to house. It wasn’t bad at all. We would definitely love to stay at this house again on our next trip to Destin! Book your stay you won't be disappointed!

We had a wonderful time at sandpiper cottage. The house was lovely. Everything was clean and lots of supplies were available to use along with the fully stocked kitchen! The pool and beach were just a short walk. We loved the added touch of the welcome basket with snacks, made us feel very welcomed!
Jordan S.
Our family absolutely loved this community and the home we stayed in for our vacation! The check in process was simple, the home was absolutely beautiful and very clean upon our arrival. It was by far the best vacation experience we have ever had! Our kids loved the pool(s) and the basketball court, and the home is just a short walk to the beach. It was exactly as advertised. Our family highly recommends this spot for your next vacation!

Description
NEW! Gated Community 3bed/2bth home, walk to beach, 2 pools
Don't let the word 'cottage' in the name mislead you → This 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom home has ample space for 8 people!
Close to Beach - The charming coastal gem located in the exclusive family-friendly subdivision of Emerald Shores in Miramar Beach will keep you coming back year after year. The cul-de-sac location is perfect for the family beach vacation of your dreams. The home is a 5-10 minute walk to the beach OR you can take the FREE beach tram which runs continuously 9am - 5pm daily during peak season, weather permitting.
Best Beach Access in the Area - The Emerald Shores Beach Pavilion has the VERY BEST BEACH ACCESS in the entire area! The exclusive beach pavilion offers private, gated beach access, private restrooms with changing areas (no long treks back to the house), outdoor showers, beach chair and umbrella rental services, parking for the beach cart, and our own private snack bar. The beach pavilion is located directly across from Leeward Key, very near Kenny D's beach bar on Scenic Gulf Drive. To access the beach you simply walk 5-8 minutes from Sandpiper Cottage OR you can take the free beach tram.
Wristbands for the Beach - A non-refundable HOA fee of $30 per reservation will be collected on-site when you check-in at the beach pavilion. The fee is payable by credit card only. Wristbands are required for ages 13 and up. The reserving guest will need to provide the beach attendant with evidence of your current lease agreement with a valid ID. The number of wristbands issued may not exceed the number of guests on the reservation. All guests age 13 and up should wear wristbands while at the pool areas, around the pavilion, and at the beach. Please reach out if you have questions about this HOA policy. It is a one-time $30 resort fee that covers the entire household.
Sandpiper Cottage Features - The single story flows easily from the common areas to the bedrooms and is perfect for families young and old who don't want stairs! The home features an open concept layout with a high vaulted ceiling. The beautifully appointed main areas flow together for relaxing family gatherings in the spacious living room, dining room, and kitchen. The walk-in pantry/laundry room is conveniently located directly off the kitchen. The house sleeps eight people in three beautifully decorated bedrooms with large closets and a sofa bed in the living room. Two full bathrooms have plenty of storage and hooks for all your beach towels. The master bedroom features a full-size desk in an office nook - perfect if you need to "work from home" while at the beach! You'll enjoy free high-speed Wi-Fi for TV streaming apps and the TVs also have basic cable.
Recent updates with all new paint, new flooring, new finishes, and new furnishings give Sandpiper Cottage its relaxing clean coastal charm.
Bed and Bath Details - The primary bedroom features a king bed, side tables, a tall chest of drawers with tons of storage, a full-size desk, a wall-mounted 4K smart TV, and a ceiling fan. The ensuite bathroom features a large double vanity, separate shower, Jacuzzi tub and huge walk-in closet. The second bedroom has a king bed with side tables, a small storage chest, cable TV, large closet and a ceiling fan. The full-size guest bath located next to the second bedroom, includes a shower/tub combo, 8 hooks for all the beach towels. The third bedroom, designed for children, has a twin bed with a trundle, a tall chest of drawers for storage and a closet. If you have young children, you'll appreciate the portable high chair and portable crib during your stay.
Beach Toys & Family Fun Night Games - Additional features that make Sandpiper Cottage ready for family fun include a fully stocked beach closet with chairs, boogie boards, skimmer boards, all kinds of buckets, shovels and molds to make sand castles and many other toys for children of all ages. We include a large beach cart, rolling cooler, beach umbrella and other beachy items. For family fun night or rainy day activities we have a wide variety of games, cards, and puzzles for kids ages 2-80. We even include an extra HDMI cable already attached with a power strip for those kids (and adults) traveling with their game console!
Calling all Chefs - If you're cooking for the crew, you'll love the open kitchen fully stocked with all the extras: chef's knives, cutting boards, baking pan, sheet pans, new blender, new toaster, new double Keurig with full-size coffee pot and individual K-cup function.
