Elation 5318: a studio at Sandestin with a Juliet balcony, resort pool & hot tub access, and a walk to Baytowne Wharf.
Set on the bayside of Sandestin Golf & Beach Resort, Elation 5318 is a compact studio that trades square footage for location — a breezy, low-maintenance base a short walk from Baytowne Wharf and a quick tram from the Gulf. Inside, two queen beds and a full bathroom keep things easy for a couple, a solo trip, or a small group, while a kitchenette with a mini fridge-freezer, microwave, and drip coffee maker handles the morning cup and light bites between beach runs. A small table pulls double duty for a laptop or a meal, a TV covers the downtime, and a Juliet balcony lets the salty Gulf air and afternoon light drift through the room.
The resort is the real amenity here. As a guest, you have access to the outdoor pool and hot tub, tennis courts, and a shared grilling area, with communal laundry on-site for longer stays. The Village of Baytowne Wharf sits a short walk or shuttle ride away — a walkable cluster of shops, restaurants, bars, and live music that keeps going well past sundown — and Baytowne Marina is right there for paddleboarding, a fishing charter, or a wave runner rental. When you'd rather trade the sand for the water, a sunset dinner cruise on the 125-foot Solaris yacht sails right from the resort dock.
A complimentary tram loops the property and runs you over to the sugar-white Gulf sand in minutes, and the resort's championship golf is an easy tee time away. Beyond the gates, you're minutes from Destin, the self-styled "world's luckiest fishing village," with emerald water, deep-sea fishing, ziplines, dolphin tours, and family attractions all close by. It's a simple, well-placed hideaway — small on footprint, big on everything just outside the door.
