We all agree that this was a fantastic place to stay. Location is perfect. Amenities were more than sufficient. We loved having access to the golf cart.

Fabulous Property

This was one of the nicest VRBO’s we have ever stayed in. It was immaculately clean and had wonderful amenities. Very comfortable. The area was great for walking and bird watching. We took an Uber to and from the airport and used the convenient golf cart to get to the beach, pool, restaurants and shopping. I hope to be able to visit this area again and would want this same condo.

This townhouse was definitely the cleanest & perfectly decorated unit we have stayed in. It had everything we needed. Location was awesome. The golf cart was the highlight of the trip. The only downside was the flight of stairs just inside the door. That got old quick!!!!

Beach was crowded with resort guests but that is expected. Golf cart was fun to ride on. Nearby pond with tons of turtles to watch. Resort has nice shops and Publix was also a short golf cart ride away. Pool also nice and close by golf cart ride.

Condo was lovely, very comfortable

Clean, comfy beds(sofa bed not so much so LOL), nice golf cart for enjoying resort. Property mgr easy to reach. They handled our issues quickly. The only negative was not with Condo or Property Mgr but with Sandestin Resort having major renovations during Spring Break- very poor timing. Our contact with property manager was exceedingly pleasant. We did miss having a balcony and there is a considerable stair case to navigate but the unit was a 5star in terms of meeting our expectations and comfortable mattresses.

Great rental

This is probably the cleanest property we have ever stayed and we have been to Sandestin at least 30 times. The golf cart is great and the location is prime. The only thing missing is a patio. but the pros definitely outweigh the one con. Only other thing I didn’t like was they would not let us in early even though it was clear the property was ready. We have never experienced that before with any other rental. The first day was somewhat of a waste not checking in until 4. I would rent again though.

Hello Mark & Kelly! Thank you for your review for 8977 Heron Walk. We're glad you enjoyed your stay. Unfortunately, this year has been difficult for everyone during the pandemic. We have followed the CDC guidelines in cleaning and disinfecting the rental properties. In doing so, early check-ins have not been offered. Vacation Rentals have a standard 4PM check-in , so we understand that the possibility of checking in early is a nice bonus. Sorry we were not able to honor your request. Thank you for staying with us!

Annual florida vacation

Because of covid19, we didn't make reservations until about 2 weeks before our trip. We usually stay along 30A but chose to stay in Sandestin for the first time. The condo is located in a beautiful and well maintained neighborhood. A large pool is several blocks away. You can use the golf cart to go to the beach, pools, Publix, restaurants, shopping and Baytowne Wharf. The place was clean. The layout was great for our family of 5. There is a scenic view of Choctawhatchee bay out the back windows. IMO the resort beach area was too small and crowded. So we made short drives to several public beaches on 30A. My only complaint would be there wasn't a balcony or porch. We would stay here again.

Thank you for your review. The scenic view of the Bay at 8977 Heron Walk is therapeutic. Due to its location on the wetlands, only a few of the units in Heron Walk have back sitting areas. We hope you enjoyed your stay and look forward to having you back as our guest. Please call us for future stays in the area.

Relaxing Get Away

The property was very clean and decorated nicely. The beds were comfortable and there were plenty of extra blankets and pillows. When you walk in the door there is a set of stairs you have to go up to get to the main part of the home. The door is on the ground floor but the living quarters are on the second floor. There aren't too many steps for it to be much trouble but I do wish I had known about the stairs just due to having to carry my suitcase and other items - I do have a slight orthopedic issue. Inside the unit you cannot hear any traffic noise. There was a football game during my time there and I could hear the younger neighbors celebrating until the wee hours - but I am the only one in my group that heard the celebrating so no one else was bothered. The view from the back window of the unit and from the master bedroom was wonderful - very peaceful. The golf cart was a giant bonus. I was able to park my car and just zip around in the cart over to dinner and to the beach. I will put this unit on my list of places to return to, we had a great time during our short stay. Thank you for sharing your home.
