The unit was beautiful and the description is perfect. We loved using the golf cart to go to and from the beach. Everything worked well in the unit. Full kitchen. Washer and dryer worked well. Bed was comfortable. It is very close to the Baytown Wharf. The host was very easy to communicate with and was very responsive. Would recommend this unit.

Beautiful and very clean condo with great amenities, the best being the golf cart! The pilot house is right next to the village and we didn’t need to use our rental car during our stay. Pilot house also has a beautiful pool on the 3rd floor. Phyllis was our point of contact before our arrival and once we arrived and she was sweet and accommodating. Highly recommend! Beautiful place for a couples weekend, girls trip or family vacation. Only 1 con: if you have a hard time walking this condo would not be for you it is a very long walk from the elevator to the room.

The condo was very nice although the HOA was doing maintenance on the balcony so we could not use it as we hoped. The property manager was very apologetic. The pool area was great and the Baytowne Wharf area was special.

The unit was very clean and well furnished. Plenty of towels. The only negative to this unit is the noise on the balcony. You can hear the very large air conditioning units for the hotel all day and night and they are loud.

Fantastic Stay

The condo was well appointed and had everything we needed for our stay. The only thing was that we were totally unprepared for the "5 Mile Hall". If you are young and in somewhat good health, it's a nice walk. My husband however has a heart condition and he was out of breath every time. He did however get alot of great exercise. the end.

Our stay

First, I want to say that this condo was the perfect size for my husband and I. We absolutely loved it. However, the unit is in desperate need of a new AC unit AND new ceiling fans. It took hours to cool the place down and we were lucky if that ever actually happened. The fans put out zero air and barely rotated. Other than that , great location and we loved the golf cart !

Another great trip

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This was the second year in a row that we rented this condo. Once again it did not disappoint. We drove a long way and luckily didn’t get stuck in traffic so we got there early. I called to inquire about an early check in (couple of hours) and spoke to Phyllis. She was so helpful and attentive, even on a Saturday. She confirmed the condo was ready and was able to accommodate our early check in request. Everything to include the condo management was great!

We had a wonderful stay at this beautiful condo! There were so many things we loved, including the cleanliness, the comfortable bed, the plantation shutters, and the balcony furniture. The granite countertops and stainless steel fridge were great touches as well. Staying in the village was perfect for us, especially enjoying meals at the Marina on weekends and being close to shops, stunning pier sunsets, and the Wednesday night concerts—all without needing to drive. The golf cart was a fantastic bonus for getting to the beach and grocery store. We can’t wait to return!

Check In

My husband and I stayed here for our 15 year anniversary. We normally stay in a condo with beachfront view. I decided to do something different this time. I must say this was a great experience. Long walk to 531 but it was worth it; we needed that walk. The golf cart is a MAJOR PLUS!!!! The rooms were so clean and smelt so good! Checking in was also a MAJOR PLUS. We got an email on what to do and how to get in. You don’t have to go stand at a desk to check in. Everything is ready upon arrival; just go straight to your room. It is so much going on inside the village, you don’t even have to leave. (Shopping, Dining, Entertainment) We enjoyed our stay and will definitely be back!!!!

The condo was in wonderful condition and we enjoyed being here. We stay at the Pilot House a couple times a year and have always had a wonderful experience. The golf cart was great! Also, this particular condo had some beach chairs and sand toys in the closet, which was super! I highly recommend this condo!

Great Time

We enjoyed our time at Sandestin. The golf cart saved the trip. Could not sit on the balcony and have a conversation, noise from air conditioning unit at Effie hotel. The sofa and chairs at the bar are very uncomfortable. The bed was excellent. Kitchen had very good cookware. Would prefer a keurig coffee maker.. Phyliss was an excellent hostess.
