Our family has been vacationing in Destin and along 30A for many years now and this was our first stay in Sandestin. We absolutely loved the resort. The proximity to the beach with a golf cart and the easy golf cart route to get there was wonderful. The shopping, fitness center, pools, golf course, and restaurants all within close proximity and mostly accessible by golf cart (provided by condo rental) were wonderful and so fun!! We will definitely stay in the area again!
The condo however, was just okay. The positives, it is pet friendly, allowing us to bring our two dogs. It is in a great location and provided a 6 seater golf cart. Again, we have stayed in and around the area for several years and for the price of the condo we just felt it wasn’t up to par with other condos we have stayed in at a similar price point (again the resort, absolutely was).
Our issues with the condo started upon arriving and realizing with our two vehicles and the golf cart parked for our unit and the unit next to us (also owned by same property management team) there was definitely not 2 full parking spaces for both our unit, the unit next to us and the golf carts as they were parked. Luckily the family in the unit next to us was very kind and we were able to figure out a parking arrangement to make their two cars, our two cars and the golf carts fit, but again spaces were not as advertised. The kitchen in the condo was pretty, but minimally stocked and more than anything everything seemed to just be thrown in drawers with little to no organization. It was difficult to find things even if they were available. Several outlets in the unit did not seem to work either. And the volume on the tv in the main living area did not work. The bathrooms in the condo were updated, but all small. Additionally the main bedroom on the first floor, the bath tub did not drain well the entire time we were there and we only ever took showers. The property was not that clean. There were cobwebs in the corners of the main living room. Additionally the grill provided was nice, but could stand a good cleaning and was low on propane. There were plenty of towels which was appreciated, but only one extra blanket to be found in the entire condo and the bed sheets/comforters were fairly lightweight. Overall, for the price, the condo was simply just okay. It did the job, but again we all felt in comparison to other units we have stayed in at similar price points, it did not compare!
