Welcome to Sugarsands, your home away from home in the highly sought-after gated community of Sandpiper Cove, located on Holiday Isle in the heart of stunning Destin, Florida. Nestled within steps of the breathtaking sugar white sands of the Emerald Coast, our home has been newly renovated this year, with all new decor and thoughtful updates for our guests. Our front balcony is truly special, with ocean breezes, a view of Destin Harbor and some of the most picturesque sunsets in Florida. Treat yourself to dinner at Louisiana Lagniappe, the property’s award-winning restaurant, located right across from our home.

Destin is a fisherman’s paradise, and we’ve got the perfect setup for you if you have your own boat. Sugarsands has private parking for a boat trailer. Sandpiper Cove has its own private boat launch into Destin Harbor, as well as private canals in which you can tie off your boat and dock it for the night. The boat must not be taller than 9’ when on the trailer, else you will need to keep it in it the canal. There is a small nightly fee to dock in the canal, and you can easily reserve your own space at sandpipercove.com/???? If you prefer to fish from land, you can take a short walk to the docks at Louisiana Lagniappe and fish to your heart’s content. They even provide free use of a fish cleaning station on the property, so you can catch and cook your own dinner!

It’s a quick 5 minute walk to your very own front row seat to one of the most beautiful beaches in the world. Beach service is included in your rental, and Sandpiper’s private Sand Flea beachside restaurant has plenty of delicious treats and eats to enjoy while you relax in the sunshine. They also provide restroom facilities and washing stations. Sugarsands also provides you with a two-person paddleboard, if you’re feeling adventurous! Make sure you wear the provided life jackets as well.

Need a beach break? Sandpiper Cove truly has it all, with two tennis courts, eight pickleball courts, a nine-hole executive par 3 golf course, five pools, three hot tubs, and plenty of scenic space for walking and enjoying the many gorgeous views around the property. Fancy a longer walk? Head down farther into Holiday Isle for even more scenery and beach/harbor views.

Sugarsands provides everything you could possibly need in our freshly-renovated kitchen. If you feel like playing chef, we’ve got you covered. But we know sometimes there’s nothing like having someone cook for you, and our home is oh-so-conveniently located to some of the best restaurants in Destin. We have provided our guests with a curated list of our faves, accessed via a QR code when you stay with us.

The entire home has been freshly painted and new LVP floors installed throughout. Thoughtful touches such as board-and-batten and shiplap add charm and style. The kitchen cabinets are custom, soft-closing, and brand new, with brand new white quartz countertops and a roomy farmhouse sink. All the light fixtures have been replaced and now add to the beachy charm of our home.

Sugarsands has a laundry room separate from the living area, with built-in cabinets and floating shelves for your convenience and storage needs, whether for pantry items, beach towels, or just whatever feels right to you.

Both bathrooms have been renovated, with brand new flooring, vanities, and fixtures.

We are a husband and wife team from Georgia. We have been vacationing in Destin for years, and in 2025 we were blessed to be able to purchase our very first beach property here. A dream was realized and Salty Shepherd Vacation Homes was born. Sugarsands is not just a rental property to us, it is our home. And we want all of our guests to feel what we feel when we are here - at peace, relaxed, happy, and at home. We place a premium on customer service, and we will go above and beyond to make sure all of your needs are met during your stay with us. We would be delighted to host you, and we know you will find Sugarsands as enchanting as we do!
