***Not familiar with the resort? See the last few paragraphs for details***
Located among our quiet neighbors in Bayside's Harbour Point community (absolutely NO HOUSE PARTIES; at least one 25+ year old adult must be staying), Rising Joy is comfortably decorated with new furniture (sofa bed and loveseat), paint, accessories, bed & bath linens, new mattress, a newly appointed kitchen, and even new windows for outstanding Bayside views. Everything feels fresh, clean & cozy. The condo provides CAREFREE CHECK-IN via our convenient electronic door locks...so, there's absolutely no long check-in process thru a property manager's office.
While you relax on the back deck, enjoy your amazing views of Choctawhatchee Bay, Sandestin Marina and Baytowne Wharf. In the lake just off the deck, turtles paddle up, hoping that you will toss them a saltine cracker. Watch golfers play #14 Links. Walk to the private pool just steps away.
Oh, the included golf cart...you're about 5 or 6 minutes away from everything on the resort (including Publix Market @ Grand Boulevard)! Explore Beachside, Bayside, Lakeside and the Village at Baytowne Wharf as you leisurely drive past picturesque lakes (yes you may fish our lakes...catch & release, of course), and through beautiful neighborhoods. Best advice - jump in the cart and explore all of the resort.
Cruise Beachside through the convenient underground tunnel to Sandestin's sugar white beaches, dining, and in season, Tiki Bar, beach combing, parasailing, Wave Runners, a basketball court and miniature golf..
Bayside, hit 'em straight at one of Sandestin's golf courses (*see more info below). Chill out at Harbour Point's private pool or the SOA's two other pools (heated in season) - the new 2025 pool on Audubon Drive; or the 2023 Aquatic Center pool at the corner of Baytowne Village Drive and Baytowne Ave.
Bayside at the Marina, you'll find Sandestin's world-class tennis facility; bicycle, Waverunner, paddle boat & kayak rentals, and a Tree House for the kids. Want to feel like a local?...Grab a drink and a meal Marina Bar & Grill.
When you’re ready to experience the shopping and dining at Grand Boulevard and the Village of Baytowne Wharf, it’s all a quick golf cart trip away. http://www.sandestin.com/dining.
Inside the condo, maybe stretch out for a nap on the comfy sofa (it's also a queen-size sleeper) or on the Master BR king-size bed; find a favorite television program in the LR or BR; get everyone together and have movie night on the 50" flat screen TV.

You’ve perfectly expressed what makes Rising Joy a great vacation spot. It makes me so happy when my guests fully embrace what the area offers…and they fall in love with Sandestin and the Emerald Coast.
An absolutely amazing experience! The condo was warm, welcoming, clean, and comfortable. The golf cart was a huge bonus as it was fun to use during our stay. Communication with the owner was outstanding and informative. I highly recommend this property!

Great guests. Great feedback. Understanding of construction interruptions at the condo above. Got out and found their fun on the resort. Welcome back any time!
The condo was well stocked and the golf cart made it easy to get everywhere on property, including the beach! We enjoyed using all 3 pools, and the included washer/dryer helped greatly with keeping everything dry!

We have stayed in the Sandestin Golf and Beach resort many times, but Greg is by far the most hospitable and responsive host we have ever experienced. If you want a clean, well-stocked, beautiful location, golf cart and relaxing experience, then this is the condo for you!

Love hearing you enjoyed yourselves. I agree…the views are really nice. I hope you’ll return when you can. Always welcome.
We had a wonderful stay at Rising Joy condo. It was in a great location and very clean. Very quiet area but still close to everything. Having the golf cart was the greatest perk while staying and we used it multiple times a day. It worked great the whole time with no problems. The owner Greg was the best host we have ever had when staying in a VRBO. He was super helpful and had a very quick response to all my many questions. We plan to be back again. Thank you for a great trip!!!

This condo was great! The access to all the places in Sandestin was perfect. The golf cart made getting around the resort super easy. The condo had everything we needed to cook a couple meals in.

My passion is providing great vacation experiences for my guests (and for my family and friends).
I love Sandestin Resort. Having stayed as a guest 150+ times over 30 years, for both business and pleasure, I finally purchased Rising Joy condo as my "home away from home". It is a pleasure to share the condo and resort with you.

Great vacation value; fresh & clean with focused Covid protocol; comfy, casual decor & furnishings; first floor convenience; beautiful views. So much to do right on the resort with easy access to Sandestin Beach, the Marina, Baytowne Wharf, Grand Blvd., all via the golf cart. Seriously, you may not leave the property once you arrive.
What makes this property unique
Wildlife (feed the ducks and turtles in our lake just off the deck). 2022 updated EZGO golf cart seats, tires, quick charging/30-cruising miles with the new motor and lithium battery; fresh bath & BR linens; ultra-comfy Sealy Posturepedic Caversham Euro Top Mattress.
