We definitely enjoyed our stay. We love that everything is so close by driving the golf cart. The primary bedroom was a king, it is very soft mattress. Make sure to bring your beach towels. And make sure to bring any kind of spice even salt and pepper. We love staying in Sandestin. We definitely will come back! Overall we loved the Home.
Great spot on the resort, enjoyed the view of the bay!

Rating tells it all...nice listing photos not even close to the worn, outdated, dirty living areas including rugs drapes, furniture and sagging king mattress..Golf cart should not be on road..Screen room overly cluttered and furniture disgusting along with the grill..The Host and owner should never have turned the rental over to us in such a state...

Reviewer Comments:
This is our 5th time to San Destin. We enjoyed the location of this rental and everything was very nice. Place was clean and everything was accurate on the listing of the rental. Our only complaint is the golf cart stickers were expired so we were unable to access the grand boulevard. That was a pretty big deal to us because we like to take the golf cart shopping, out to eat there and access Publix. We also had friends staying in the Grand Boulevard and could not access them. The golf cart is one of my kids favorite activities so it was a shame that we were told me could not access that part of the resort because the owner did not update the stickers. When we tried to contact the owner, we were just issued an apology.
We had a great time. The house was perfect for our families needs. Our girls loved sharing a room, but enjoyed each having their own bed. The master was huge and had a great view. We cooked several meals in the house and the kitchen had all the cookware we needed. The gold cart was great getting around in Sandestin. We will definitely be back! Thanks for a great vacation!
This was a great week, at a great, family friendly place. Had a great time, just a short way from the beach. Good pool access, pickle ball, shopping, and golf. Not fancy, but a great place for our needs!

We enjoyed the location of the property and the golf cart to scoot all around! As advertised on VRBO, clean and worked really well for our small family! Our boys enjoyed fishing out back!

Thank you for your review! We are so happy to hear you enjoyed your stay and loved the location and golf cart. You are welcome back any time!
What a great place to stay ! We absolutely loved everything about this property . As much as we love the beach , it is so nice to be able to retreat into the quiet neighborhood at the end of the day. It's about a 5 minute ride on the golf cart back and forth . We will without a doubt be returning in the future !

Cute and cozy place. The best part was the golf cart and being able to get to everything so easily- the beach and Baytown Wharf. The master bed is definitely too soft and the walls and cabinets need a good cleaning, but everything was good and clean. Wished we would have brought fishing poles, it would have made the trip even better. Not bad for a rainy beach vacation. I recommend and would stay again.

Thank you for the 5-star rating! We're thrilled to hear that you enjoyed your time on the resort. If you ever plan to visit again, we'd love to welcome you back!
Had a great weekend. Convenient location. Unit had everything needed. Parking was different because of the unit next door. There are no lines so they were unaware of proper parking but we made it work. Overall great stay and in comfort.
Dated but comfortable , no major issues but bring your essentials. Communication was good but someone in the cleaning crew smoked because there was the smoke smell when we entered. Would rent again.

Thank you for your review! We are happy to hear you were comfortable in our unit and pleased with our communication throughout your stay. However, we are so sorry if you discovered a smoke smell when entering our unit. Please be assured that our cleaning crew follows stringent guidelines and policies, which strictly prohibit smoking in or near the units they service. In some cases, a neighboring unit can be the source of such odors and although there is a strict "no-smoking" policy, we understand that not everyone abides by these rules. Nevertheless, we are so sorry for any inconvenience this may have caused! We appreciate your understanding and are pleased to hear that despite this issue, you would consider renting from us again. You all were wonderful guests and we would love to have you back! Thank you again for your feedback and we hope to see you soon.

The only thing we were a little disappointed that the beach was not closer or pools.According to description on VRBO they were in walking distance but 2 or 3 miles is not what we consider walking distance. Other wise the the property was very peaceful and beautiful.

Bayou Village is located near the bayside entrance of Sandestin Resort. The swimming pool is within walking distance from our villa. The beach is a 5 minute golf cart ride away. Tram service is available in addition to our optional golf cart. We hope to see you at the beach!

We have stayed multiple times at Sandestin and 4 times at 657 Bayou. Time for an update in the unit. Beds are super soft, living room VERY dusty and furniture is old. Dryer never shuts off, fire hazard! Kitchen well stocked, nice golf cart and unit is spacious. Staff is very friendly and responsive. We caught 5 little lizards in the unit, not sure how that many get in? Sandestin is an awesome resort and we love it, this time the unit just wasn't in the same condition as we have had in the past.

This was our second stay in this unit. Love the location. Unit is very roomy and clean. Our only complaint would be the turtle speed golf cart. We called and asked maintenance to look at it as we were being passed by other golf carts and bicycles. No return call, had to call them. Said it was just a slow cart. We took it out for 5 minutes and it dropped 3 bars on the battery. Ended up not using it as it was a hazard, super disappointed. Lower star rating due to response about cart and the condition of cart. Would recommend unless you want a cart.

We had a wonderful stay at this condo. I was on the property for a conference, but my husband and 21 month old tagged alone for the week and it was perfect. He was IN LOVE with the golf cart and it was so nice to use to get to the wharf and the shopping center near us. Having the golf cart as part of the rental is a total win. The grounds of San Destin are beautiful as well. Would love to come back during the off season. The inside of the condo was very clean and well stocked. Some reviews complained about minimal supplies, but I’m accustomed to that with vrbos. After the first night or so I mentioned the beds were a little uncomfortable and squeaky and they had maintenance out that day to tighten the headboard and then the following day memory foam mattress toppers arrived to our surprise for ALL of the beds, made a world of difference especially with a wild toddler in bed. Will gladly return

Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication
My husband and I have been unable to do a family vacation with our daughters due to military restrictions, deployments and work up cycles. In December we will be moving down to Destin for work and just thought we would find a condo to vacation while still knock out looking at houses.
Through our stay our eyes were opened and we absolutely fell in love with this community so much so that we are looking for a home in this area!
This condo is in a prime location. Wonderful mix of relaxation and amenities. The golf cart was an excellent addition to transport the fam and explore this area. The beach, pools, grocery store, restaurants and shopping are all accessible via cart. The condo was clean and well stocked with cookware. Yes, you do have to bring your own seasonings and some other miscellaneous items but growing up in CA this was standard in every beach house I ever stayed at it AND you had to bring your cookware so having all the utensils/pots/pans and more really was a nice addition.
The property manager went above and beyond to clearly communicate with us and ensure we had a great stay.
In case you can’t tell by now, I HIGHLY recommend this property.

We had a great week staying at 657 Bayou. The condo was large enough for our group of 6, 3 being children. The golf cart was a must, which is why we chose this condo to begin with, it did not disappoint! Condo was clean. Furniture is a little old and kind of dingy looking but was fine for us, patio furniture needs work, bolts falling out. Overall a fantastic week!
