The snorkelers in your group will love the new artificial reef called Seahorse Reef, deployed in 2017. Located just 715 feet out from the Topsail Hill Preserve State Park access, it is becoming a haven for sea life. Each of the 4 snorkeling reefs comprises 40 acres of permitted sea bottom. The Seahorse Reef is at a depth of 13-18 feet. We strongly recommend that snorkelers use a kayak, paddleboard, or other flotation device when visiting the snorkel reefs. Sea conditions can and do change quickly and often. Enjoy!

This was our second time staying at this property, and it is PERFECT for two! We just needed a space at the beach for our Babymoon, and it was perfect. We loved having easy access to so many restaurants, shopping, and the beach right across the street.

We really enjoyed our stay at Pilot House! It was so nice to be able to walk right outside our door to the Baytowne Wharf with shops and restaurants. We loved cute beach decor and loved being able to open the big, glass doors and sit on the deck listening to the breeze through the trees and the waterfall from the pool right outside. Also a very close drive to the beach. Would definitely stay here again!

WONDERFUL GETAWAY!!
Had a wonderful stay. Condo is very clean and everything is brand new with updated decor throughout. There is a nice, private balcony with a gorgeous view of the pool to enjoy your morning coffee. Inside is very relaxing, especially the bed, by far one of the best in any VRBO. Owners are very nice and very quick to respond with any questions you may have. Would definitely stay here again and would recommend to anyone.

Thank you for taking the time to write a review. We are so glad you enjoyed our condo. You were a delight to work with, and look forward to having you stay with us the next time you are in town.
Best regards,

Location Location is definitely what we enjoyed. Even thought the beach was not as closed as we wanted to, there is definitely a lot other options available without having to drive anywhere. From live band, good restaurants, and good shopping, there is really nothing to complain about. You can either stay in and relax at the pool with a beautiful view of the garden or explore!

Beautiful condo
We stayed for six nights. The condo was beautifully decorated, up to date and very clean. Everything was well stocked. The property and the grounds were beautiful. We loved the location on the harbor and close to the beach. The tram was a nice convenience too!
Now if they could just do something about the construction traffic!
We would definitely come back here and recommend it to anyone interested in staying.

I'm so glad you had a wonderful time with your family. You were a pleasure to work with, and I look forward to having your family back in the future. The expansion project on Hwy 98 can make traffic daunting. The great thing about Sandestin Golf & Beach Resort, is once you arrive, most everything is within walking distance or a short tram ride away. You never have to venture off property until it's time to head home.
