Location great - close to beach- close to shopping and restaurants. Loved the golf cart transportation. Very clean rooms. Enjoyed the lake right outside the back door - married to a big fisherman so he fished each morning! Host was very responsive to questions and concerns. Great experience!

Condo was ok. Master is upstairs which was not advertised in description, and my husband had a surgery recently so I had booked seeing the downstairs patio thinking it was a lower unit. Golf cart and TVs are all very outdated. No smart TVs in the condo or working remotes in kids room. Bunk bed is wobbly and broken. Location is great though. San Destin Is amazing but the actual unit was lacking. Wouldn’t book again but for a last min find it worked out.

Horrible
this was the second year in a row we rented a condo at Beachside villas both years. They just come in moving all the furniture around and start painting no one even gives you a warning! They threw all the deck porch furniture off the front and back deck. We didn’t even have a place to sit outside.

We have stayed at Sandestin before and really like the area. We did like this location better being closer to the beach and enjoyed the restaurants nearby. The place was clean and had everything we needed. Golf cart definitely a plus. Didn’t use our vehicle til we went home.

Great Location
We always have a great time in Sandestin. The golf cart is a must in Sandestin, so it's great that they had a six-seater available for us to use. The place was clean and met the basics of the advertisement so we are leaving a five star review. However, if you book this condo, here are a couple of things to be aware of that we wish we would have known. There are no spices, cooking spray, or anything other than utensils/plates/bowls in the kitchen (they did leave a couple of k-cups) - we had to purchase salt and pepper and some other basic cooking supplies which we left behind that hopefully they will leave for the next guests. There are only two washcloths in each of the bathrooms so you will need to run the washer several times if you stay for a week (also bring detergent as there were only two tide pods that they provided). Our stay was good, location was great, but some of the basic essentials we have had in every other vacation home in Sandestin over the years were very much lacking.

The unit was as pictured. Kitchen was well stocked. The golf cart was a fun addition, especially for the kids. And we had a beautiful view from our upstair master. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay.
