Thanks so much for the great review and feedback, Sydney! We thank you for staying and are thrilled you loved the place so much. We look forward to hosting you again soon!
We loved the amenities and beach access. The unit itself could use a little freshening and new living area furnishings but there were some nice surprises- like free transportation around the whole resort and an on-site mini golf.

Thank you for your kind feedback about your recent stay with us. We apologize for any inconvenience caused by the ice maker as they can be slow to produce. Unfortunately at times, if the wind is severe they are unable to put umbrellas out for safety reasons.

Reviewer Comments:
Our family of five had a great time at Westwinds/Sandestin. This was our first time visiting the area, and we will definitely be back. Our unit was great - there were a few things I'd love to see if we were to choose this one again like more bath towels, box fans for each bedroom and a better equipped kitchen - there were no hot pads, limited serving utensils, etc. But, the space was adequate. None of us thought the beds were comfortable. However, the resort itself was amazing - the pool/hot tub area and proximity to the beach will be the sole reason we come back. Next time, we will be sure to rent a unit that comes with a golf cart as I can see where that would be handy. We did not explore the area like I thought we were going to, simply because we stayed at the pool area/beach the entire time.

We hope you had a chance to get in some relaxation, Brian! Thanks for the detailed feedback and we would love to host you again in the future.
I really don't like to leave "negative" feedback, because overall our experience was OK. But if I don't share my thoughts, then it can't be addressed right?
Overall the condo was fine. It was clean, the location was good, plenty of available parking, and the beds were great. However if you are hoping to stay in at night to cook and watch movies or binge watch your favorite shows...you might need to bring some things with you. We had good wi-fi for our devices, however we were unable to access any streaming services on the TV. It never would locate the network (I think it is an LG problem - I have had the exact same problem on one of my TVs. We added a firestick and worked around the proble,) And the TV in the bedroom did not have a remote to access the smart TV functions. The kitchen is very poorly stocked. Most of the cooking utensils were cheap and flimsy, and we didn't even have a cookie sheet to cook on. The warming drawer on the oven was broken off the track, the kitchen faucet had a piece that looked like someone had just sat it on top, and the keurig would not work unless I held down the lid.
In the big scheme of things, these things are minor. I am thankful for the cleanliness and the comfortable beds. These small things would have just allowed us to relax and unwind a little differently.
