A perfect large sized Studio sleeps 4 that comes with Kitchenette, Full size fridge. Newly painted and updated Nov 2018. This unit is on 3rd floor of Luau Tower and less than 3 minutes walk to the beach. The tower is situated within the Sandestin resort and a 2 min drive or 10 minute walk from the security gated entrance. The resort is equipped with pools, 3 championship Golf courses, Tennis courts, shopping, restaurants and many other amenities. The resort is 15 minutes drive from Destin, FL and 30 minutes drive from VPS airport. Ask for owner's special for more than 1 week stay.
Welcome to MIRAMAR BEACH! This unit is not directly on the beach. It is just behind Elephant Walk, the beach access area, and adjacent to the parking lot to the beach access area. So you are as close to the beach as the folks who drive over, but you can walk right out of your condo to go to the beach. It is literally a three minute stroll to the beach. Luau has the best pool in the resort, and it is a salt water pool. There is a small tiki hut that is open seasonally.
Besides reasonable rates, it is a condo that a family can come, and is stuffed full of everything you need for a wonderful family vacation, including beach stuff and kitchen stuff. Remember, we love this unit and we plan to come and stay in it when we can, and would like to give the owner's experience for you. No hidden fees. We are always open to suggestion on what we can do to make the condo better for you. My guests provide raving reviews for the comfortable mattresses that offers same or better than the comfort of your house.
Returning Guests, please highlight to let us know prior to your arrival.
This studio condo is the only studio with a full size refrigerator, full size farmhouse sink, full size dishwasher! Other basic appliances like microwave, electric hot plate, toaster, and coffee machine. You have more than enough available to make basic breakfast and lunch in the condo. The bathroom has a tub/shower with spray wand. The Euro-style tankless, in-line water heater, which means hot water is instant, and never runs out. A big 50 inch TV nicely placed to viewed from both beds. The TV is hooked up to a dedicated Netflix account with thousands of free movies and tv shows and free Wifi provided by the property.
You will find basic kitchen sundries, such as salt and spices, sugar and coffee, condiments and more. Dish washer pods under sink. We have basic bathroom items under the sink, and a closet to store your clothes. The beach chairs and umbrella are in the storage at Parking level. Upon request, I also provide a Crib for my guests with infants, also stored in the storage downstairs.
We provide soft towels, ample hand towels and wash towels for entire family.
The height of this third floor condo is such that it is right over the palm trees, high enough to give you a heavenly breeze when it cools down and nice view from the balcony. The window in this unit is west facing, with a view of the Tivoli condos and swimming pool just beyond.
The resort is equipped with 3 championship golf courses. My personal favorite is Raven Golf club and Links Golf club is on the North side of property. Summer is wonderful, but I hope you have a chance to go in the off season. There is nothing better than throwing the balcony doors open and waking up with the rising sun and lapping waves, and having a cup of coffee with the golden sunrise and the distant peal of seagulls.
The decor is kid friendly, with happy colors. We know you will love this unit, and we hope that you will feel it love you right back. We are the owners and not a management company, and We want to give you personal service and make your vacation very special.
P.S. This unit is available for short term rentals (four weeks or less).

Perfect spot to enjoy the beach and the Serenity Spa. Walking distance to our favorite activities and the shuttle passes give you lots of dinner options.
The property worked perfectly for my trip. The room was comfortable, located with the Sandestin resort property (where the conference was), and the host was attentive and helpful.

Thank you very much for those kind words. Looking forward to host you again in future.
It was enough space for me plus 3 teenage girls. Enough pots and pans in the kitchen. Good location to restaurants and shopping. and only a short walk to the beach!
Our stay was wonderful…, we had the perfect condo and location. We were walking distance from the beach and had a great time at the pool. We will definitely return next Spring and Summer. Thank you!
We visited in June for my son's senior trip. After a long drive from Texas, we were beyond pleased with the comfortable, clean accomodations. The property is clean and beautiful and Ravi was an excellent host!! The room had everything needed for a wonderful stay. Sandestin Luau did not disappoint and we were thrilled with the convenient beach access. We will abstolutely be back!
Excellent condo in the Luau buildings. Had everything we needed for a comfortable stay including a full size refrigerator. Easy walk to the beach. Ravi gave very detailed instructions on check in and out and was responsive to any questions we might have had.

Great Efficiency!
Perfect room for the 2 of us. The complex is very nice, and we loved the close proximity to the stairs and elevator. Also loved the Sunset deck for great views.
Only complaint is that a full size mirror, outside of the bathroom would be a great addition.
Rav is the perfect host - he keeps you informed of everything that is going on, in the area. We would definitely stay here again : )

Hi Beth,
Awesome feedback and appreciate the kindly words. I will look right into it and see the possibility to fix a full mirror on the door or somewhere that is easy for my guests to use. You can count on that addition at my earliest convenience.
Thanks,
Rav
The Luau Tower1 property is located on the beachside within the huge Sandestin / Bay Towne Gated Community. The condo was clean and comfortable w both a K and Q bed and full frig. We did not use the hotplate for any cooking. It was an easy 3 minute walk to the beach and The Beach House Restaurant (delicious!). The owner provided access to beach chairs, coolers for use. There was a pool and hot tub by the Tiki Bar-we did not use. The sandy beach and crystal clear water were superb. The beach was extremely crowded with umbrellas and guests everywhere but we thoroughly enjoyed it anyway. Friends had a beach wedding in front of The Beach House, bonfire the night before and rehearsal/family dinner there too. The reception was on the lawn at The Grand-food was marvelous. The dueling pianos at Rum Runners was a good time too. I would definitely return to this area again in the future, I would like to find an area that is not as heavily crowded at the beach.

You can't beat the location of this property! You can walk to the beach and the pool is just downstairs. That eliminates having to drive & park or use a shuttle. There are lots of restaurants and several grocery stores to drive to close by.The room is the size of a hotel room and the check-in and check-out process was easy. I booked this place because of the location and the availability of a kitchen along with price and availability.
However, keep in mind a few things. 1)There is no stove. I didn't notice this when I booked the room. There is a hot plate which we used for eggs in the morning but it wouldn't be ideal for making a pot of spaghetti. 2) Even though the condo is located in Sandestin, you don't have any access to Sandestin amenities (fitness center, hotel beach areas, etc). It does make you feel a bit like a 2nd class citizen, but that's ok. You can use the shuttle to get to a shopping/dining area on the other side of the main road and find a spot on the beach in narrow sections between the hotel's private & beach chair areas. We enjoyed the Luau condo's pool and the 4th of July fireworks next to the hotel. This condo is worth it because going to Destin is all about being at the beach and spending a lot of time inside the room is not the goal.
The property was GREAT! Wonderful location just a few minutes walk to the beach. Favorite restaurants were The Beach House (between the unit and the beach) and Rum Runners (just a short tram ride to Baytown Wharf). Get to the beach earlier so you can snag a good spot or go later in the afternoon after 3:30 when people are starting to leave. We hadn't been on a family vacation in YEARS and this was EXACTLY what we needed. Unit had 3 sand chairs (low sitting beach chairs), Beach Umbrella, and wagon to shuttle stuff to and from the beach. We also brought a portable clothes drying rack to dry our swimwear out on the small patio. Not enough room to really use for any form of sitting / relaxing but great for drying items. Hopefully you enjoy your trip as much as we did!
The delay in communicating with the owner was a little unnerving at first but after that everything was amazing! Great space, clean, easy to get around the property. Would definitely recommend
Our family of 4 had a great time at the property and the amenities available throughout stay. Unit right off the elevator and closest to pool. And the beach access was priceless as well as access to great food. Will definitely stay again!!
