Great location within the resort. Condo was beautifully decorated and updated. Very clean and had everything we needed. We would definitely stay here again!!
We rent at Sandestin resort several times per year. This condo was just right for a girl's trip/16th birthday for my daughter, her best friend, and I. The central location, beautiful views, and condo amenities were perfect. The pools were beautiful, access the the beach via golf cart was easy, and shopping at Baytowne was fun. Would recommend!
This property is a gem. Beautiful views, tastefully decorated and spacious. Very quiet, beds comfortable and great Kitchen equipment. Loved going to the beach, pool and village with the modern provided golf cart and having coffee overlooking the marsh and bay (Yacht Club). Renter was wonderful to work with and exceeded our expectations which were high. Sandestin Resort is a special place that we frequent often. 10 out 10 for sure--we'll be back!! Property is on the second floor and has steep stairs for entry--no worries if you're in good health!
Excellent communication and instructions. The amenities and decorations were top notch! Great location within Sandestin and the views were stunning. Should also mention how spacious all the rooms were including walk-in closets! I can’t wait to book another stay in this lovely unit.
This was a great, quiet location close enough to anything else we wanted to do. Golf cart was the perfect added bonus to get us around the resort and to the beach.

Best resort in Destin! And the house was nice and clean. The golf cart was a lot of fun and super handy to get to the beach and Baytown Warf, and fishing easily.

WOW Randy, thank you so much for the great review of 8977 Heron Walk! This property is in a prime resort location and with the new golf cart, it is a gem. Thank you for being our guest at 8977 Heron Walk and we look forward to hosting your next gulf coast getaway.
We all agree that this was a fantastic place to stay. Location is perfect. Amenities were more than sufficient. We loved having access to the golf cart. We have been searching for a location and vacation rental that works for our family for the past 8 years since moving to the south. We will definitely be back.

The townhouse and location are both absolutely perfect! You’re so close to everything you could walk but you don’t have to because the golf cart is available for use. We hopped in and explored every day. We could easily get to the beach and to restaurants. We had an amazing experience!

This was one of the nicest VRBO’s we have ever stayed in. It was immaculately clean and had wonderful amenities. Very comfortable.
The area was great for walking and bird watching. We took an Uber to and from the airport and used the convenient golf cart to get to the beach, pool, restaurants and shopping. I hope to be able to visit this area again and would want this same condo.

This townhouse was definitely the cleanest & perfectly decorated unit we have stayed in. It had everything we needed. Location was awesome. The golf cart was the highlight of the trip. The only downside was the flight of stairs just inside the door. That got old quick!!!!

Rental was clean, very comfortable for our family of 5. Location was nice. Short golf cart ride to the beach. Beach was crowded with resort guests but that is expected. Golf cart was fun to ride on. Nearby pond with tons of turtles to watch. Resort has nice shops and Publix was also a short golf cart ride away. Pool also nice and close by golf cart ride.

Clean, comfy beds(sofa bed not so much so LOL), nice golf cart for enjoying resort. Property mgr easy to reach. They handled our issues quickly. The only negative was not with Condo or Property Mgr but with Sandestin Resort having major renovations during Spring Break- very poor timing. Our contact with property manager was exceedingly pleasant. We did miss having a balcony and there is a considerable stair case to navigate but the unit was a 5star in terms of meeting our expectations and comfortable mattresses.

This is probably the cleanest property we have ever stayed and we have been to Sandestin at least 30 times. The golf cart is great and the location is prime. The only thing missing is a patio. but the pros definitely outweigh the one con.
Only other thing I didn’t like was they would not let us in early even though it was clear the property was ready. We have never experienced that before with any other rental. The first day was somewhat of a waste not checking in until 4. I would rent again though.

Hello Mark & Kelly!
Thank you for your review for 8977 Heron Walk. We're glad you enjoyed your stay.
Unfortunately, this year has been difficult for everyone during the pandemic. We have followed the CDC guidelines in cleaning and disinfecting the rental properties. In doing so, early check-ins have not been offered.
Vacation Rentals have a standard 4PM check-in , so we understand that the possibility of checking in early is a nice bonus. Sorry we were not able to honor your request.
Thank you for staying with us!
