Serene Studio at Sandestin | Pool, Hot Tub, Beach Shuttle, Walk to Baytowne

Elation 5316: a bright studio at Sandestin with garden views, resort pool & hot tub access, and a walk to Baytowne Wharf.

A bright studio tucked into the bayside of Sandestin Golf & Beach Resort, Elation 5316 keeps things simple in the best way — a calm, easy base with a garden-and-pond view out the window and a couple thousand acres of resort to roam the moment you step outside. Two queen beds, a full bathroom with a shower-tub combo, and a kitchenette stocked for beach snacks and light meals cover the essentials, which is about all you need when most of the day happens out in the sun.

The location does a lot of the work here. You're steps from the Village of Baytowne Wharf, the resort's walkable hub of shops, restaurants, galleries, and after-dark live music, and just as close to Baytowne Marina, where you can push off for kayaking, paddleboarding, a wave runner rental, or a half-day fishing charter. As a guest, you have access to the community pool and hot tub, the resort's championship golf, 15 tennis courts, and spa services, plus a complimentary tram that loops the property and carries you over to the sugar-white Gulf sand in minutes.

When you want to make more of an occasion of it, the marina runs pontoon rentals out to Crab Island — the shallow sandbar that turns into a floating party on warm afternoons — and dinner-and-dancing cruises aboard the 125-foot Solaris yacht sail right from the dock. Beyond the gates, you're in the heart of Miramar Beach and a short drive from Destin, the self-styled "world's luckiest fishing village," known for emerald water, deep-sea fishing, and a run of well-kept golf. Ziplines, dolphin tours, and family attractions round out the area when you feel like venturing past the sand.

For a couple, a solo traveller, or a small group, it's a low-key, well-placed home base — small footprint, big resort, and the beach never far off.
