We've stayed in Sandestin at least four times and this was our favorite place. We loved the house and the neighborhood. The space was perfect for our two families, two couples and four kids (age 15, 13, 13,10). Both primary suites were nicely sized and appointed and the bunk room was perfect for the kids. We loved the front porch for nightly hangouts with our dogs.

Thank you so much for the wonderful review! We're honored to be your favorite stay in Sandestin—especially after multiple visits to the area. It’s great to hear the home was such a perfect fit for your group and that both the layout and sleeping arrangements worked so well for everyone.
We love that you were able to enjoy the front porch for relaxing evenings with your family (and your dogs!). We truly appreciate your kind words and would love to host you all again for another stay!
Overall, we had a very pleasant experience. Check in was easy, the location is extremely convenient and easy to access the beach with the golf cart. Sandestin is a beautiful community with ample walking trails that we enjoyed too. Lots of space in the house and quiet neighborhood. Only negatives: issues with the seatbelts in the golf carts getting stuck (we did contact and they had someone come out very quickly but golf cart shop was closed), the slip covers on the couches are very stained and dirty looking when you move the pillows, and a lot of the games are missing pieces. But communication was great and we enjoyed it! Do wish there was a place to sit outside in the sunshine and eat though!

The perfect October week!

Thank you for your review. We're sorry to hear the garbage disposal wasn’t working during your stay, but we’re glad our team was able to respond quickly and get a maintenance technician out right away to address it. We appreciate you bringing it to our attention and hope to have the opportunity to host you again in the future.
We enjoyed our stay. Accommodations were great. Only complaint we had was the ice maker didn’t work. The neighborhood was great and it was nice to have the golf cart to go to the beach and to eat out one evening. I would highly recommend this place for any family vacation!

We love SanDestin, and this is our favorite property to stay in to date! It was in a nice location and the golf cart is a huge plus! The only negative was the noisy dryer. We loved everything else! Would stay again!
We stayed for a long weekend and the bungalo was super cute, cozy, and clean. Even with the property being pet friendly, you could never tell there was any animals that have stayed there. Was perfect for a large family. The description does not say but they do have an XL dog crate available (we brought our own). Excellent property :)

Nice property
Great location within Sandestin. Awesome floor plan with one bedroom downstairs, two upstairs. Each bedroom has an attached full bath and there is also a convenient half bath off of the kitchen. It is at the back of the subdivision so much quieter. It is close to the pool and the home was very clean
This is our second stay at this house. Plenty of room for everyone! 3 full bathrooms and a 1/2 downstairs. Golf cart is wonderful. Already planning our next trip. Only complaint is TV in living room is very hard to work. We could not watch it.

Awesome experience in amazing home in Sandestin!
This property was absolutely lovely! So incredibly spacious. The kitchen was well equipped! The extras, such as access to use of one of the golf carts, and access to the pools on the property was really wonderful. All of the beds were very comfortable. Plenty of pillows and extra sheets were available to all of our guests! Really appreciate the fact that our sweet puppy could join us. It is getting harder in general to find beautiful and clean properties that allow a pet. This was so wonderful for our family.

Great Bungalo
Had an amazing stay at Bungalos of Sandestin. The home was well stocked with toiletries and cookware, very spacious and quiet neighborhood. There’s a golf cart that could carry a large family around the neighborhood and to the nearby shops. Really loved how spacious the rooms were and enjoyed the screened porch for morning breakfast to evening dinners. The furniture was nice but the white sofas slip covers need to be cleaned or changed out for a darker color. I will definitely be booking again.

Great Location
House was central to all we wanted to do in Sandestin. Golf cart was not there when we got to house. They brought it the next day only to have it break down on the way from
The beach because it would not charge. After getting no help when we called, my kids pushed it back to the house over a mile. The next day a neighbor came out to help because the cart is the only reason we rented this particular Home... we discovered the outlet to charge it was not functioning so he let us charge from his home.
