Condo was Clean and tidy! This Condo had an easy access from the parking garage as described! I would note this parking garage has tight parking spots between columns so if you are traveling in a bigger vehicle it might be tight! The pool, fitness and garden area is incredibly fabulous . This condo is in a Great location within Baywharf, which the teens loved! Baywharf had lots of nightly activities that we enjoyed and there are several restaurants and shops to check out. The condo was located next to all the condo generators. There was lots of noise with delivery trucks constantly coming through there. Honestly that is the only downside, but not a stopper for us! Overall we would personally stay here again! Owner (Anne) communication was outstanding! Anne was quick to respond to all our questions! This outstanding communication really does go a long way, and we appreciated this ! The added amenities (start up supplies ) was so welcoming and appreciated after our long travels! The Tram was easily accessible from Baywharf to beach. The tram I wish had a better “pickup” process and schedule, but that is not against condo, just something to note. The tram is not consistent on timing or schedule and no way to call them to get picked back up, it’s a waiting game but helpful! Overall this is a family friendly place close to the beach and in a really fun little area! Thank you for the amazing hospitality. We enjoyed our stay and we would definitely stay here again!

Christmas in Sandestin

We had a wonderful stay at this lovely condo. Everything was exactly as advertised. The location was nice and quiet at night and then a short walk for dining and sightseeing during the day. I most certainly recommend this rental, and I'm sure will be returning myself.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! The condo was super easy to get to and Anne’s instructions were so helpful for parking and access to the unit and pool area. We didn’t have the beat weather but we still had plenty to do. The village was awesome - great for strolling, the playground for our 3 year old and tons of food options.

Very nice condo

We loved our stay at the condo. It’s was nicely decorated and the perfect size. Plenty of space and easy access to the pool and parking. The pool was heated, which was great since the weather wasn’t cooperating. The only small thing I could remotely complain about is the construction going on right next to the room. The view from the balcony is construction and it’s a little loud outside. We didn’t have an issue with noise inside. Since the weather was chilly, we didn’t spend much time out there. The owner was very responsive. Overall we would definitely visit again.

Easiest vacation ever

We came down with two other couples and their families. Everyone stayed in Pilot house and the kids love room hopping to see each other. This condo had everything we needed and more. Very clean and had a lot of room to spread out. Anne was very attentive with all our questions and answered quickly. We took the tram to the beach and it was great to be able to load two wagons completely full into the back without difficulty. The drivers are so personable and told us about local fun places. At night we spent time in the Village and all 10 kids (16yo-4yo) found something to do. Tram took us back to the beach for night crabbing/fishing. Once you park your car there is no need to get back in. Groupon has a code for 18hole mini golf for $20 for 4 and that was a fun/cut throat time for our group. Highly recommend this condo and location. Sarah

Not worth the money

The condo is outdated. The view is horrible, it faces some building and big equipment. It’s very loud at night. There is an Alley there that trucks go up and down. I guess bringing in supplies. The ceiling fan in master bedroom is loud. The pillows that were on the master bedroom bed were flat. They did have extra pillows in closet but no extra pillowcases that I found. The tub and all the sinks drained slowly. The host did send someone day 3 to unstop them. They were clogged with hair. The rugs are extremely dirty looking. The description says the master bedroom had a queen bed. If it is a queen it is a small queen if there is such a thing. A would check around because we paid as much for 4 nights as my son did for a 5 night stay and his condo was much nicer. The washer and dryer in condo is small stackable and it holds about 3 towels so I was doing laundry way too much to be on vacation. If you leave at night good luck finding a place to park when you get back. The outside patio was dirty and some of the outdoor Furniture was dirty.

Excellent location for pool, hot tub and shopping; comfortable, upscale unit

We loved our time at your condo! The comfortable and upscale furnishings, towels/bedding and kitchenware made staying a pleasure. As described, the pool and hot tub are a quick two flights of stairs away. We had both basically to ourselves the entire stay (this is the first week of Jan.). The teens loved jumping in the cool tub and the pool/hot tub temperatures were just right. The atmosphere is resort-like and peaceful. Proximity to shopping/restaurants was perfect - just wish more was open but we’ll take slow over overcrowded. Charlie’s Cafe is a great place to grab a breakfast sandwich and we had an nice outdoor dinner at Slick Lips. The unit itself was comfortable - one reason I booked is the wall-to-wall carpeting in the pictures looked cozy but note it has been upgraded to engineered wood and area rug in the main area. Another item to note: the barstools were missing for us and there was simple furniture on the patio, not the nice padded wicker furniture as shown. Otherwise, the unit exceeded expectations and we appreciated the level of furnishings and care put into the unit. Two suggestions would be: figure out how to get a dresser in the main bedroom and install a keypad. Thank you for the incredible stay! We were sad to leave!

About the host

Hosted by Anne McAfee

Host profile image
Our family has been coming to SanDestin for many years. We have two boys, now 22 and 23, that have been coming since they were wee ones. We have created such wonderful memories here and will enjoy sharing with you, our guests!

Why they chose this property

The Pilot House has been the primary location we have stayed. We prefer the Bay side to the Beach side. We can easily get to the beach, but staying on the Bay side allows us to enjoy much more of what the Sandestin resort has to offer. Close proximity to the marina, kayaking, fishing, walking in the Village, biking, are all special things to do.

What makes this property unique

Proximity to the Village of Baytowne Wharf is a highlight! Just steps away from the shops, restaurants, nightlife, and scenery of the Chocatowatche Bay! The kids will love the zip line, arcade, playground, and more. Relax at the resort style pool with amenities such as hot tub, cool tub, fitness room, barbecue grills, and of course, the pool! The surrounding neighborhoods are to bike and take a walk in. The beach is just a short tram or car ride away! You will love it all!
