First, I'll say that the property management company was the best I've ever dealt with. Very helpful, excellent communication, nice to talk to, understanding, etc. I highly recommend them. We've stayed at Sandestin about 8 times in the last 15 years and they were the best.The property, however, we were mixed about. The location is great, Sandestin is great, the interior layout is great, golf cart was great...but there are things they can't change and things they can change.What can't be changed: Like others, the footsteps in the unit upstairs is really bad. We were lucky not to have screaming kids upstairs, but you really do hear every single step. Bedtime is when it's most annoying. The master bedroom's AC vent is in a bad place so the room got hot for us. There was a fan which helped with the temp and drowned out the noise, so we made do. The patio overlooks the pool, which wasn't an issue in November, but I bet it is in the summer.What can be changed if the owners invest a little money: Master bedroom needs a ceiling fan to help with the AC issue. That's an easy fix. It's Florida. Every room should have a ceiling fan.Master bedroom has blackout curtains, but no mini blinds. When you want to get dressed, you have to choose between no sunlight or letting pool passerbys seeing you naked. Hopefully you remember that if you stay, because I didn't all the time. There's mini blinds everywhere else, so why not the master bedroom?The bed linens are cheap and poorly fitting in every room. We had to readjust them every morning. Some of the towels were old condition too. Bottom line: My wife and I were split on if we would recommend this place. It wasn't bad, but when easy fixes are available, why wouldn't the owners invest a little $$, especially when there are so many other rentals at Sandestin that don't have these problems?
