Thank you for the great review, Andrew! We are delighted you loved your stay at Observation Point North 454 and cannot wait to help you plan your next vacation getaway.
Clean unit with great view of village. Arrived late in the evening & had slight issue at check-in with door code - but thankfully it was quickly resolved. Also received a follow-up call the next day to confirm all was in working order. Very pleased with customer service & was overall a great stay. Will be looking to stay here again.

We'll get those notes to housekeeping, Amy. Thanks for telling us. We are so glad you found the home to be clean and cozy overall. We're delighted you'd stay again--we'd be delighted to see you here again!
Loved this stay! The location is amazing! My kiddos enjoyed being able to feel apart of everything by just looking over the balcony! Super clean and spacious. We stayed for a week so the only downside was no storage space (pantry) for groceries. Even then, I would definitely love to stay again!

The location was perfect, close to all the attractions and events. There were a few wine glasses that still had lipstick marks from previous renters and it could use a few more hand towels in the kitchen(only had one). Otherwise a clean place. Check in and communication is great. Overall I would recommend this place.

We loved our stay in this condo, with a bird's eye view of all the Baytowne events and activities. Management was always responsive to any questions we had and even warned us of a coming storm! The one thing we would suggest is that the king mattress be replaced as it sagged badly. Otherwise the condo is convenient, well-equipped and comfortable.

It's great to hear you had a pleasant stay and enjoyed the gorgeous view of Baytowne. We are exceptionally pleased that you appreciated our team's service and attentiveness. Thank you for your feedback about the mattress and we will investigate the matter further. We hope you join us again soon!
Beautiful condo and premo location! I would definitely stay at that condo again. The only mishap would be upon checking in to our condo, when you send a text about the door codes, please SAY that the info below is to open your condo door. It was sent with no explanation as to what the codes were and after driving 14 hours to get there, the last thing I want to do is to NOT get into my condo! Other than that, we had an amazing time and would always book with you and the owners!

I think the property was extremely nice with the exception of the 2nd bathroom. I appreciated the hand shower but the tub/shower set-up should be remodeled in favor of a walk-in shower for safety concerns. If possible, a larger vanity space would be desirable..
Other than that as previously stated the property was very nice and the decor was extremely pleasant.

Ouida, thank you for staying with us and for sharing your thoughts about the second bathroom. We'll certainly pass along the message as those would be great implementations if the owner remodels. We're definitely glad you enjoyed the property. Let us know when you plan to travel again, and we'll make some recommendations for walk-in shower units.

-We had an issue with the door code it did not work so we had to call the management company to get a new code. After 10 hours of driving the last thing you want to deal with is not being able to access the condo-The door for condo 454 should be replaced or fixed because it was a slight issue to open it-Location was key the convenience of shops and restaurants was nice

The property was very nice, almost as if I were home! We had guests and they were impressed with the suite and property grounds as well. However, one restaurant/bar, Rum Runners, is situated directly across from this beautiful suite. The bands there are horrible and very loud till 2 am every night. Not to mention rowdy patrons as well. Besides not getting the rest needed, it was a beautiful stay non the less. Would prefer grounds away from the village next time. Not sure why that bar is placed where it is and not in the back of the village with the other bars. Definitely a sore spot for renters within that area.

Jeffrey, we love that the property felt like a home-away-from home, and we are happy that the guests enjoyed the site and being at Baytowne Wharf. We do understand that Rum Runners isn't for everyone--some people love it, and some people not so much. When you're ready for another beach getaway on the Sandestin property, let us know--we have many cozy, beautiful, and fun beach rentals that offer a quieter experience but with convenient, easy access to Baytowne Wharf and all of the other fun to-dos on the Sandestin property.

Reviewer Comments:
We have stayed in this condo previously and loved it, which is why we booked it for this year. You can't beat the location if you have teens and young kids as there is so much to do within the Wharf. The condo is right in the center of the Wharf and we can watch the fireworks, listen to the bands and enjoy everything below from our balcony. The pool is easy access and the trollies for the beach are convenient. There is a new general store that makes it easy for getting items you might need but don't want to get in a car to go to the grocery store. There are new restaurants coming which will be nice as some of the restaurants are not as good as they were last year. We have been to the Wharf the last 3 years and look to book next year.

Thanks so much for the great review and feedback! We are delighted you enjoyed your vacation and thank you for choosing our company as your vacation rental partner. We look forward to hosting you again soon.
We entered an uncleaned condo. Food from last tenants were still in fridge and freezer. Floor/carpeting had trash ,old hair rubberbands, etc. There was old toothbrush container behind night stand in bedroom. Goop drippings on cabinet doors in master bathroom. And the master bed was a nightmare. We had to sleep in very middle of bed to not feel like rolling out of bed. Worst bed that we have ever stayed on.The elevator was broken half of our stay, leaving my husband with a bad knee, and my very pregnant daughter in law to climb up and down the stairs when we wanted to leave room. We had to tote stroller for toddler up and down as well. We were told that elevator breaks frequently !!!!! Sadly, I had read that in a review, but thought it was just a rare thing.Thankfully, The condo is located in perfect spot for seeing all around! That was a huge plus. We enjoyed that part. Unless you dont like noise. The host was very helpful with getting the condo cleaned properly when i called to complain.Although, by the time cleaner got there, i had cleaned fridge and bathroom gunk on cabinets,and begun wiping down areas with disinfectant wipes. The housekeeper vacumned and passed a mop. We missed dinner plans to wait for the cleaner because we did not want to leave our things unattended.All in all, had those issues not happened, the stay would have been great. The condo locationwas perfect !We have stayed at Baytown countless times. We had never had any of these issues before.
Family-friendly location. Access to tennis, pickleball, restaurants within walking distance. Perfect pool. Not too crowded for a spring break vacation. We will return!

Beautiful condo but unfortunately wouldn't stay at this unit again
The condo is very clean and lovely decorated. The location and neatness is just as advertised. However, a few things will keep us from staying at this particular unit again. 1- the beds! Linens are great, but the mattresses are in desperate need of replacing; thankfully my kids are Little, but all 3 beds super uncomfortable:( my husband and I took turns sleeping on the couch for when you lay on our bed you sink to the headboard and floor. (I weigh 130 he weighs about 185)
Also the water pressure in both showers is pretty low. We've stayed at obs point before and didn't have this problem. My kids and I love a bath and it took 40 mjns to fill up. The shower pressure is very light so takes a long time to wash sand out of your hair. These 2 things may not be much to some, be after driving whole day and spending alot of money- these are things worth not worrying about.
Finally the big reason we won't book this unit again is we weren't aware of beach access changing due to "resort cards". Basically, because we booked thru this agency (myvacation haven) and not the actual Sandestin resort site, we had to pay full price for chairs (300$+, and were denied access to the Sandestin Beach club pool and bathrooms (no card)
We've been staying every summer for 10 years and have always had access to this beach pool and restrooms. Every summer. It's main reason we agree to stay off the beach- the night life activities of baytowne - then while on beach still have access to pool and restrooms. That changed this year with no transparency or information until we got there with our 2 little kids who desperately need a pool on a beach day.
What incentives are there now for booking thru my vacation haven then if denied these major amenities? We had a nice stay still and if the above are not deal breakers then this is a good place to stay. However, we need decent beds, shower and access to the pool we've had for 10 yrs in future.
We are so glad you found nothing out of order on your trip, Shan! We agree it's a nice property. It will be here the next time you're ready for a trouble-free getaway!
Perfect location to all restaurants, shops and bars.
Parking - when entering garage park on far left of garage for easier access to elevator.
- bring noise cancellation device at bedtime due to late night shenanigans at Rum Runners. Or be apart of shenanigans. Fun times!
