We enjoyed this beautiful home and the gorgeous views & sunsets so much. It was better than a 5 star hotel-nothing was missing. Top notch, first class in every way. The porches were fabulous and where we spent most of our time. We didn't do any cooking during our stay but we could have prepared just about any meal with the well equipped kitchen, etc. I would/will stay here again. Highly recommend. Clean, check in/out easy, no issues during our stay.

Can’t recommend this home enough! The location is amazing. When you are at the home it feels like you are worlds away from the hustle and bustle, however, you are just a short walk or quick golf cart ride from all the shops and restaurants as well as the beach. The home is very intentionally equipped to make your stay easier—fully stocked with kitchen tools, plenty of bath and bed linens, beach towels, two washers and dryers!, fishing gear, beach gear, pool toys, games, etc. The sunset view from the back porches is absolutely beautiful. We spent a lot of time out there enjoying nature and the outdoor kitchen. The neighborhood pool and clubhouse are just a few steps away. The pool facilities and staff are top notch.If you’re looking for the perfect place in Sandestin, look no further.
