Located in beautiful Destin, Florida, Sandpiper Cove is where coastal charm, celebration, and a little bit of magic come together.
Say “I do” on our private beach with the emerald waters as your backdrop, celebrate with family and friends in our Reception / Event Hall, and keep your favorite people close with onsite accommodations. From getting ready to the last toast, your entire wedding experience can happen in one unforgettable destination.
We offer proposals, elopements, vow renewals, beachfront ceremonies, receptions, bridal events, and full ceremony-and-reception celebrations**. Our wedding packages also include the support of a wedding coordinator to help guide the details and keep your celebration flowing smoothly.
Our Reception / Event Hall accommodates up to 85 seated guests indoors, with larger celebrations possible through an outdoor tent setup. A kitchenette is also available for warming and cooling food.
Want to make the day completely yours? We love that. Start with the package that fits your celebration, then explore our "Make It Your Own Add-Ons" for extra touches, upgrades, and personal details.
You are not required to use specific wedding vendors, giving you the freedom to choose your own caterer, florist, photographer, decorator, entertainment, and other approved professionals. Our Gather & Celebrate Package is perfect for couples who want the beach and Reception Hall while bringing in their own food, décor, and vendors.
And the fun doesn’t stop after the ceremony. Your guests can enjoy onsite room accommodations, private beach access, 24/7 gated security, 5 pools including 2 heated pools, 2 spas, a 9-hole par-3 golf course, golf-cart-friendly grounds, tennis and pickle ball courts, beach services, canal access to Destin Harbor and Crab Island, boating opportunities, nearby water taxi access, dining, and entertainment. We are also pet friendly.
Spend the morning by the beach, cruise the emerald waters, explore Destin Harbor or Crab Island, get dressed up, celebrate, dance, toast, and then head back to your accommodations — all without leaving the experience behind.
We also host bridal showcases and wedding weekends, as well as engagement parties, bridal showers, rehearsal gatherings, anniversaries, birthdays, graduations, family reunions, baby showers, babymoons, retirement celebrations, and more.
Whether you're planning a romantic beach wedding or simply gathering your favorite people for something worth celebrating, Sandpiper Cove gives you the freedom to make it personal, beautiful, and fun.

We absolutely loved our stay at Sandpiper Cove Unit 3100. Being on the first floor made unpacking and coming to and from the beach incredibly easy. The layout is perfect for families—the king bed in the master was super comfortable, and having ...
two twin beds plus two full bathrooms gave everyone plenty of space and privacy. The kitchen is well-equipped, and having a washer/dryer right in the unit was a huge convenience. The included beach chair and umbrella service was the icing on the cake! The resort amenities are fantastic, from the pools to the gated security. We will definitely be back!
Love this place come every year for the past 15 years! We always rent the condo right on the water. These condos are older, but they are so cozy and clean. The owner always fixes anything that tears up right away. Beautiful Water in front of th...

Stayed in unit 2093 was absolutely a lovely decorated condo, everything you need, nicely decorated and so very comfortable, I personally slept well on the master mattress set, it is on the firmer side. We enjoyed the sand flea cafe right off t...
he beach and other close by restaurants that were in walkable range. Will come back again
I booked Unit 9205 about 40 days in advance, and management knew I was arriving with my three young daughters. Within minutes of entering, my youngest opened a drawer and the unsecured nightstand tipped over onto her. Her leg was badly bruised,...
and two days later she is still limping.
The second-floor balcony railing was dangerously unsecured, and the AC had an exposed, filthy filter. The entire unit was extremely old, poorly maintained, and unsafe.
The kitchen was unbelievable — barely enough basic equipment for two people, including a single nonstick pan with its coating completely scratched and peeling. I have honestly never seen kitchenware in such poor condition at a rental in the U.S.
It took more than 24 hours to resolve everything with Airbnb and relocate my family, ruining the first two days of our vacation.
After 20+ Airbnb stays in the U.S., this was by far my worst experience. I would never bring my family here again.
