This is a charming and completely renovated cottage in the Fairways Community of Sandestin Resort. Our family has owned this house for 23 years, so we knew exactly what changes would make it perfect for a vacation rental! We have painted, changed, relit and remodeled to make it just right for your family's vacation. It is light and open and inviting. The kitchen and three baths are all totally renovated with custom granite counter tops and tile floors. One bathroom has a handicapped accessible shower. My mom is 88,and we needed to make it comfortable for her too! There is a new breakfast bar connecting the kitchen and dining nook. All of the cabinets and pantry are brand new. The laundry room is now in a totally separate area, so the noise won't disturb your movie or family game in the den or on the sun porch.
We are on the bayside of the resort close to the Marina and Baytowne Wharf. The bayside pool and Sandestin Spa and workout facility are also an easy bike ride away. The cottage is in a quiet section of the resort across the street from the golf course and a stone's throw from one of the many owner pools. Its a perfect area for biking, walking or roller blading. All 4 of our children caught their first fish by fishing off the dock in the pond in our back yard. You are close enough to see fireworks on the beach at 9:30 and again on the bay at 10:00! We have also loved being close to the Silver Sands outlet mall (they say it's the biggest designer outlet mall in the south east). The savings are unbelievable and so are the shops!
Let's not forget the BEACH! Whether you're at Sandestin, Santa Rosa or one of the nearby state parks the sand really is that sugar white soft stuff one sees in the ads. Its made for walking or relaxing with a good book. The gulf stays warm most of the year, but if its too cold for wind sailing or swimming then you can go golfing or fishing-off the dock, off a pier, in the bay or deep sea fishing out in the gulf. As our family says, "you'd better hurry up to have fun!".

My in laws bought this cottage when I was pregnant with our first child. We have vacationed here for 23 years. All of the recent renovations were to done to make the house even better!
The Unique Benefits at this House
The beds in the "fish" bedroom can be made into 2 twins or a king bed. A large pullout sofabed is in the sunroom downstairs for extra guests. Upstairs in the master suite, a pullout loveseat bed gives parents an option to keep a smaller child upstairs with them and still have privacy.
Owner's Map of Fairways
Hi! I am the mother of four boys and owner of a huge Saint Bernard, Grace. My husband and I have been taking our family to Sandestin for over twenty years. We love the beach house! Each of us has a special activity at Destin that fits our personality. My older sons enjoy tennis and golf, while my younger boys like to fish and go on bike rides. As for me and my husband, we prefer to spend our evenings on the beach, when there is an ocean breeze and, on most days, a gorgeous sunset. At night, we like to convene for seafood at the docks and shopping in Destin. Our family has long considered the beach house a place of relaxation and togetherness. We hope that you'll feel the same way!
