We loved our stay here. It was conveniently located and the golf cart made it so easy for us to get places around Sandestin. We loved our stay and loved the property. Thank you!

We are so happy you enjoyed your stay and the six seat golf cart is certainly a bonus!! Thank you for the review and we hope you get to visit again soon!
This property was great. It was spacious and provided our family of four with all we needed. The patio area was clean and quiet and great for our morning breakfast gatherings. The golf cart was a plus and we really enjoyed riding around the property. My family and I will definitely return.

So glad you and your family enjoyed your stay at this lovely property. We hop you can visit again soon. Thanks for the great review!
The condo is perfectly located, very spacious and clean. The outside deck provides a beautiful sunrise view and we enjoyed having the golf cart to run around the resort area. The area has plenty of shopping, places to eat and the beach is absolutely beautiful! We would definitely recommend and would definitely come back . The property management was on top of everything and made check in and our stay very easy and comfortable.

Thank you Regi for the review. This is a great condo and very convenient to all the restaurants, shops, etc... The golf cart makes it so easy to get around. We hope you can return soon! Thanks again.
This was our first trip with our daughter (3 months at the time) and we always try to travel with our dog. The house was great. We loved the quiet neighborhood, the fenced yard was perfect to enjoy time outside with our dog and the furniture was very nice for a rental. We would definitely stay at this property again!

We are so glad you enjoyed your stay and was able to bring your dog. This is a great house especially with the golf cart! We hope you can return soon. Thanks again.
Great house in a great location. Was a trip for my kid graduating high school and a friend, they loved the golf cart. They were able to go almost everywhere they wanted to with it. We had access to so much stuff from the property.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! It was especially nice to be able to use the golf cart to go to the beach. Our Frenchie loved chasing lizards in the yard and the deck has a great view of sunrise. My only complaint is the lack of a mirror over the sink in the master bathroom.

Thank you Rebecca for the great review. This is a great place to stay and having a fenced in yard for the pets is also a plus. The mirror is on order for the vanity also. Sorry it had been broken right before your stay. We hope you and your family can visit the resort again soon!
Everything was great. Beautiful neighborhood, new golf cart, very clean house. Barbecue could have been larger. Property manager was easily accessible and very nice.

Thank you Maria for the great review and we are happy you enjoyed your stay. We look forward to your return hopefully in the near future!
Inside the Condo was super nice and clean. One of the bedrooms was a bit stuffy and the table outside needed some cleaning before we could eat on it. The kitchen was pretty well stocked but we couldn’t find a baking sheet which would have come in handy when baking bread for a dinner one night. The golf cart was perfect. Overall really nice place.

We are so glad you had a great time. The baking pans are found in cabinets on the lower row. All knives can be found in the drawer. We have a 24 hour on call number provided if you stay again, we would be happy to help you locate these items.
The house was clean & had the essentials. It would have been nice to have a grill to cook out on. Did not ever find the checkout instructions, only check in. Had to call for clarification & someone was available to help.

Hi Michelle, we are so glad you enjoyed your stay. Sorry for not having a grill but they have had several fires at properties so some owners no longer have them at their units. The check out instructions were emailed with the guestbook that was sent and we are sorry you missed it but glad you called to check on the instructions. We hope you visit again soon and thanks again!
We have stayed in many rental homes over the years, and this one by far has been the most accommodating with the amenities that it offers. Bedrooms are spacious, worked out great for our family of six and a baby with the three bed set up up for the children. Each room had a nice sized tv especially the living room. The golf cart was a huge plus with the rain guards considering we got caught in a big storm heading back from the beach. All the cookware was good quality. The shower handles were a plus with bathing the kids after the beach. We would definitely stay here again. Only thing missing was a grill to cookout on.

We are so glad you enjoyed your stay at this great home. It is in a great neighborhood and the golf cart is a plus! Sorry about the grill but there have been many accidents with them in the resort so owners are very cautious about having them on their properties. We so hope you get to visit again soon. Thanks again!
We loved this house and property. The large backyard was perfect for our 2 doodles. The house is set up very nice and spacious. The neighborhood was quiet. We loved getting out and walking the dogs. The golf cart was a fun bonus. Even though it was cool in December we rode around on it. This is the perfect house for the beach. With the golf cart and the tunnel to go straight to the beach. Also the owner and management were very accommodating and easy to work with. We would definately recommend this property. I hope to return in warmer months to enjoy the beach.

Hi Sandra, thank you for the great review. This property is a great one for the space, golf cart and convienence to all the things to do, including the beach. We hope you get to visit again soon!
This property was very nice. All of the beds were comfortable with plenty of bath linens. Management was quick to respond when we had an issue with the screen door coming off the track and a maintenance person came to fix it same day. The backyard is completely fenced in which was nice for our small senior dog to roam around freely. The house is about a 5 minute golf cart ride to the community pool and beach access. The pool and beaches were very busy while we were there but we still enjoyed ourselves. The pool was heated nice and warm. The pool closest to the Linkside area was under construction so maybe that was why the other pool was extra busy. The Baytowne Wharf Village was a fun place to visit with the golf cart with lots of restaurants to choose from. It was so nice having the extra large golf cart to ride around on.

Thank you Nicole for the great review. I am sorry about the pool but at least there was another one and also the beautiful Gulf that you could take the golf cart to. We do hope you can return soon! Thanks again
This home is in a very quiet neighborhood close to the beach. The golf cart makes it very convenient for access to the beach which is a short ride away. My only complaints would be the third bedroom comes with a portable air conditioner that doesn’t have a lot of output but it keeps it at an okay temperature, no hot water in kitchen but it’s doable. Not a fully stocked kitchen when it comes to pots and pans for large groups. There isn’t a dust pan. These were minor. Beach chairs , beach toys and tent in home. Plenty of parking. Beautiful decor. Comfortable bedding. Lots to do on resort. Property manager very helpful.

Thanks so much. We have added a fan to the room. We checked the hot water and it seems to be working fine. Please call us next time with any issues and we would be happy to help. The kitchen is full stocked. Did you open all the cabinets? Please give us a call next time so we can come over and help!
