Such a nice condo and such a wonderful area. It was very late 80s, early 90s in the best possible way. I would not recommend updating it, it’s got a very nostalgic vibe.

I'm so sorry John didn't know there was a North (Bayside) and South (Beachside) area of the Resort. It is explained in detail on the two websites I subscribe to ie the "Tram/Shuttle takes you South to the beach which is less than a mile away" etc I will make it infinitely clear in future communications with Guest

Home away from home

My wife & I along with some friends stayed here and had a wonderful time. This really felt like a home away from home. It has a very warm feel to it with the country decor. The rooms are large & comfortable. We shopped at Publix nearby for groceries and used the available cookware to make breakfast & lunch everyday. The screened in porch overseeing the golf course is perfect for relaxing and spending quality time with family and friends. I hope this place is available next year for our return trip. Interaction with the owner made the rental process an easy & pleasant experience. They even had beach chairs and umbrellas we were able to use for our time spent soaking up the sun.

Great environment, even better house.

We had a group of 14 stay at this house during our break from school, and it was an absolute blast. The town home scene on a golf course wasn’t exactly what we were looking for ( so we thought ) until we arrived. The neighbors to the left rented their home out for the same week we did to some kids from Missouri that were very cool as well. Enjoyed everything about this home in SanDestin. If your looking for a spacious place with fantastic view, this is the place for you. Thanks to the owner we knew everything we needed to know about the neighborhood and the people. Couldn’t have asked for a better situation on our 6 day stay!

6/10 Okay

Overall the house is nice and the location is perfect. It is a nice place for a family.

There were some minor issues with the house and Gary was quick to act to help remedy them. I would suggest and did suggest to Gary that a property manager that was in the area would be a benefit to the hime. We were out of gas for the grill and the sad players didn't work. These are minor thing for our family but to others they might not be and so is a property manager were to check the house after check out and prior to check in they welcomed be able to address those thing. As far as functionality and use of the house it is awesome and we had a great time and would go back!!!

I appreciate Sara's views. I do have a support staff for emergencies ie; heating, air conditioning, plumbing safety etc. I have no way of knowing when and where the two propane tanks I provide are going to be depleted because they don't have gauges on them. There are 2-3 refill places within 1 mile of my home which my guest would be driving by on a daily basis. I referred my guest to these locations and told them I would reimbursement them. I am a self renter and charge a substantial amount less (over $150 per night) than the full service Resort for a home of my size and location - 2,300 sq ft, 4 bedroom on Bay. I can keep my rates low by not having a full time person on the payroll to run minor errands.

ALOT OF FUN! PLENTY OF ROOM.

PLENTY TO DO CLOSE BY! YOU CAN DRIVE EVERYWHERE ON PROPERTY, PLENTY OF PARKING. SHUTTLE DOES COME BY, BUT HAS LIMITED SPACE WE HAD 7 AND NEVER COULD RIDE TOGETHER. AND THE SHUTTLE WAS NOT ON TIME, MAYBE BECAUSE OF THE CROWDS DURING SUMMER. NO FAULT OF OWNER. A/C WORKED GREAT! (WE NEEDED IT AFTER ALL DAY AT BASEBALL FIELDS) BEAUTIFUL SUNSET VIEW! WE WERE THERE FOR LL WORLD SERIES, BY THE WAY GARY, OUR BOYS DID BRING THE 8U TITLE HOME! BEST OF 28 TEAMS. THANKS FOR ASKING. GARY WAS ALWAYS AVAILABLE IF NEEDED. THIS HOME WORKED GREAT FOR US. WE WILL BE BACK. THANKS GARY!

Great price and location

This property is in a great overall location with easy access to the Sandestin Resort facilities and the surrounding Destin area. The condo is large enough for a group and all the sleeping arrangements are as advertised. We mostly used the resort's heated pool and it was great. It is a busy pool but has adequate space for families to enjoy themselves. With a zero entry and heated pool - it is great for little kids. The beach is another story. Great beach but way too small of an area for the size resort. We stayed during the Spring Break Season so it is extra busy but there was no way to have a family beach day because of lack of space - literally hardly any room to set up a single beach chair let alone have a play area in the sand. We ended up taking the 15-minute ride to Henderson State Park. The beach at Henderson is the same as at Sandestin in terms of sand and water, but with a mile of beach, it is an awesome place to spend a family beach day. Overall the condo is a great place for a family, the owner is excellent and responsive, and at 50% of the cost of a similar property with private beachfront we would stay here again - realizing that beach days will be a 15-minute car ride to Henderson Beach.

Perfect for a golf/beach vacation.

Whether you enjoy sand on the beach or sand on the course you’ll find both convenient at this location. Our family enjoyed many of the amenities found on the property. The wharf and beach were a short drive away, and we really enjoyed walking out the back door in the evenings to enjoy a stunning sunset. A variety of restaurants were available as well as the Silver Sands Premium Outlet Mall. A shuttle stopped feet away from the condo door. I would recommend using the Sandestin transportation website to help find the current location of the shuttle you need. Mezcal Mexican Grill, Maple Street Biscuit Company, Jimmy John’s Subs and The Back Porch all provided a good experience for our group. If you plan to bring your own beach chairs and/or umbrellas be prepared to set up early. The resort takes up a significant portion of the beach with their rentals. We left happy.

Great time!

Nice quiet location. Would have liked to have had more detailed instructions somewhere upin entry...we had to hunt for wifi sign on and password, didn't realize at first we needed the little cards for the tram or the key for the pool we had to kind of figure these things out on our own. We enjoyed the property and the time we had there; although we really felt the rental needs some furniture updates.

I am glad Amy "enjoyed the property and the time we had there". Just a point of clarification from Amy's stay. On the website (which a lot of guest don't read thoroughly) is a detailed list of check in and check out instructions including the WiFi password, Tram cards, location of pool keys and the door code for front door and many other items necessary for Guest stay.

Great choice for our family vacation!

Our family of 8 adults, 4 children, and a pup had a wonderful stay in your home. There was plenty of room for sleeping, kitchen had what we needed for all the cooking we did, and we kept the washer and dryer busy with the many loads of laundry we had. The kids really enjoyed the pool right around the corner. Thanks for allowing us to have a fun filled week in your home!

Best listing ever!!

My generational family had a blast on this vacation!! The location fabulous with a private beach across the street. We ended up driving a few minutes and finding a less crowded beach but this is an awesome amenity. Being on the golf course was fun and the pool is steps from the house. Gary was amazing to work with and even got us in the home a few hours early. He truly creates a wonder home for his guests. He also provides everything you need for a great vacation (fishing pools, grill, cooler, beach equipment, etc). The house is a little outdated but that is reflected in the price. For the amenities that you get, this is more than fairly priced and worth every penny. I look forward to coming back!

Why they chose this property

I vacationed in Sandestin for the first time in 1995 and absolutely loved it. I stayed in a friend of mines home for several years and then decided to purchase myself. I like the fact that there are so many activities available for the entire family without leaving the Resort just minutes from my front door. It is truly a self-contained mini New Orleans style city at the Wharf within the confines of Sandestin.

What makes this property unique

As you can see from the aerial photo, my home is secluded from the hub of action although I am no more than a mile from the beach or any other activities offered on the Resort. There is very little vehicle traffic since my homes location dead ends into the Bay. At night just steps away you can see one of the most beautiful sunsets out on the point and often times see groups of Dolphins making their way through waters right off of Vantage Point. There is also superb fishing right outside my back door with up to 6lb fish (bass) caught. If you really want to fish, just go out into the Bay that is only 90 yds from back door and try and land the red snappers or other big time game fish
