    Louisiana Lagniappe restaurant
    Colleen C.

    Absolutely LOVE this complex! Keep in mind all of the units are independently owned, so the management company experience and amount of updates can vary wildly from one unit to the next. The complex itself is one-of-a-kind! Spread out over 43 acres, this walk-friendly development features 5 pools (2 heated), a par 3 pitch-and-putt golf course, a canal (great views!), tennis/pickleball courts, and a few communal grills. Some units are dog friendly, some are not. Some have a private washer and dryer, some smaller units do not. Some units are beach front, many are a relatively short walk to the beach (you can also drive across the street and park near the beach, space permitting). I like the gated entrance with 24-hour staffing; I've always felt very safe. Some units include a beach set-up with their rentals ("beach service" - two chairs and an umbrella), or you can rent your own daily if not included/desired. See the guys under the red "OFFICE" umbrella by the base of the main stairway to the beach - this is a seasonal offering. The complex features an on-site higher-end restaurant (Louisiana Lagniappe) and also a cash-only beach bar (Rick's) featuring great casual food and beverage options (the latter is seasonal). Rick's also features restrooms and outdoor showers to clean up after your day at the beach comes to an end. The Louisiana Lagniappe is located on the harbor, and is an official stop for the Destin Water Taxi (seasonal - call for availability), so you can take a unique form of transportation to and from the restaurants and shops located at HarborWalk Village. Target and Winn Dixie are just a short drive away for picking up your groceries and necessities, and there are plenty of restaurants and beach shops nearby. If you want a nice destination walk, take a stroll to Capriccio Cafe for your morning coffee and/or baked goods (great crepes, too!), or swing by The Local Market to pick up breakfast or a lunch you can have packaged for the beach (both are located off Gulf Shore Drive). If you're up for a short drive and looking for great area restaurants, I recommend Mimmo's for Italian, the Donut Hole for great breakfasts/home cooking, Burrito Del Sol for casual/quick serve Mexican (eat there or take to-go), and the Front Porch for great ambiance (ocean-front dining) and seafood. Lulu's also has a great vibe (live music on weekend evenings), and is located on the harbor. If you aren't a fan of the high rise feel and like the ability to walk/bike/take a golf cart to nearby points of interest, this complex is for you!

    We had the best vacation at this place. Our condo had three rooms and a pull out sleeper bed. Each room had its own television if you needed time away from the family. The washer dryer was kept busy. The ice maker was a nice bonus. Our balcony overlooked the lazy river and the pool area. The really great part was our condo connected to the skywalk and we had easy access to the beach without getting the kids in the car and struggling to find a parking spot. I think that Fort Walton Beach is less crowded and cleaner than Destin. For your next vacation check them out..

    Stayed a week couldn't get into the ocean!!!! Tides were horrible!!! Other than that the condo was nice and great location!!! Just over priced for a pool stay

    It's very quiet and safe. Theres a lot of older people here not a party place it's very quiet. But nice beach access.

    Sandpipper Cove is a beautiful gated community. Well maintained and extremely clean. We stay beachside and the views are breathtaking.

    Beautiful bathroom

    Was not impressed with a few things here. The first being the carpet in our room. If you aren't…read morewilling to have the carpets cleaned, then remodel with wood or tile floors. You have sand, humidity, age, and stains everywhere - recipe for disaster in terms of this carpet. I hated having to wear shoes inside our room due to being grossed out. While in the bedroom, i had a cockroach crawl over my foot, and I was incredibly disgusted. The facility is obviously older, but the carpet situation needs to be addressed for sanitary reasons. Other than that, great beach access, and private chairs/umbrella are provided. Helpful staff, and great balcony view. Everything else was clean.

    My family has been going to these condominiums since we first started vacationing to Destin in…read more1997. Throughout the years I've stayed in almost every condo on the first floor, and 209 and 211 on the second floor. Every time it has been wonderful. Check in is at 4, which is kind of late. But if you show up early and your room has already been cleaned and inspected they will almost always allow you in. The front desk staff is extremely friendly and helpful. I've never had a bad experience with them. They always greet you with a smile and are super kind. Almost every condo has a king size bed, 2 bunk beds, and a pull out couch, so you can easily fit 6 comfortably. There is a full kitchen with cookware, 2 bathrooms, and one shower. From the living area there's a back porch that overlooks the gorgeous powder white sand and emerald coast. You're provided with 2 chairs and an umbrella. On the first day you go to the beach you can reserve your spot for the week so I would recommend getting to the beach early the first morning. There's also a pool and hot tub in the complex for when you need a break from the beach. One huge plus of staying here is that there is only 3 stories. The beach area behind Destin Beach Club is reserved for only residents so the beach is never overly crowded at this condo. Since you're right on scenic highway 98, you're close to everything there is to see and do in Destin. There's a plethora of restaurants, souvenir shops, and shops. You're also right next to the Destin harbor and all the new things it has to offer. Because of the great staff, amenities, view, and less crowded beach area, I would definitely recommend Destin beach club to anybody who is traveling down to Destin. Absolutely love this place, so many happy memories. Can't wait to be back!

    So here's all the details- we are Wyndham owners. This property is different than others…read more The room. They charge you for any housekeeping and don't allow you (for safety reasons) to borrow a mop etc. bring your own cleaning materials. It's obvious people don't cook because the cookware is awful! The room wasn't as clean as it should've been when we arrived, despite smelling clean. Our feet turned black and we do not wear shoes in the room- they come off at the door. The pictures give you a false impression that the resort is on the beach. It's not. In fact, it's located in the most touristy area of Destin and you have to take a shuttle to get to a beach or drive. The hotel beach is a joke. No restroom, no waves- just sand and sea water. There a significantly nicer beaches and water just a few minutes drive away. The Wyndham. It's standard for them to chase you down to attend a meeting, but the rewards are minimal. The pool- that's a joke too. Constantly dirty. Why? Because it's entirely too small for the vast hotel. There are not enough chairs. Towels- they give you a card to exchange for a towel. Lose it and it cost you $25. This doesn't scream luxury, more like cheap! At night you hear the party people down below. Here's what we liked. Our room. We had a 3 bedroom and despite finding someone's fake nail and candy wrappers, it was spacious with an incredible patio. Our view was perfect for the fireworks. Will we stay again- nope. Would we come again to this part of Florida, perhaps because the beaches- Miramar beach and Henderson state park beach were unbelievable! We would pay rather than stay here again. Wyndham- do better.

    First off, we booked through Hotels.com which we found out the hotel will not support and it was…read moreunder a different hotel name. We drove around looking for Harbor Suites and finally went into Emerald Grande and they said, "yes this is the hotel!" We booked a suite for 3 adults and 3 children through hotels.com in Dec. 2025. Our confirmation states, "luxury room, multiple beds, balcony." When we checked in we stated we had 3 adults and 3 children. We were given a room in Harbor Suites. The room was not a suite! It had 2 beds for 6 people! We called down to the front desk and were told there was nothing they could do about it and all other rooms were booked for the night. We asked for rollaways and was told you don't provide them. So that meant 2 people in our party were to sleep on the floor!!!! I went down to the front desk with our confirmation and was told because it was booked by a third party, there was nothing they could do. After another discussion with the woman at the front desk, she said there was nothing available and nothing she could do. I said, "We need to solve this problem. How can we come to a solution?" The woman at the front desk said I could pay for another room. At this point I was done arguing and said, "If that is all you can offer, then I will have to pay for an additional room." Which I did and was given another room in Harbor Suites. When my 8 year old grandson entered the bathroom of this room, a bra was found hanging on the back of the door! The front desk called and said a woman had left it in the room after changing into her swimsuit and she wanted it back. So the woman and someone from the front desk came up to the room to retrieve the bra. So we were given a room someone else had occupied and no one from the hotel went back into the room to see if it was ok to reassign. We were appalled by this. Is this the kind of quality you approve in your resort? I was done dealing with the front desk and chose to write this letter instead. We were offered a $25 credit to one of the restaurants, but does this really compensate for the bad experience we had? And we don't understand why you push the blame to the third party booking company? Why do you continue to allow this third party to offer your rooms if there are continual problems? As a consumer, it appears both businesses were at fault, not the hotel guest. What a great location with many nice amenities. However, we cannot recommend this resort after our terrible experience.
