“Our family has been coming to Sandestin for 12 years and have stayed in many places but this, by far, exceeds them all" Murfreesboro, TN

“Our third time to this area and this was by far the best. This condo is spectacular. No detail was left out when remodeling” -San Antonio, TX

“What a beautiful place! All the added “little things” are so cute! We will for sure be back!” -Dallas, TX

“Your condo is gorgeous, homey and perfect for our family! We’ve stayed in Westwinds several times and this condo is definitely our favorite! The décor is gorgeous and all your upgrades make this a luxury getaway!” -Iowa City, IA

The owners spared no expense with the total renovation of this gorgeous 18th floor condo, overlooking the beautiful beach. Using fun shark-themed decor, the only thing you’ll find scary is the thought of having to leave! Westwinds is the crown jewel of beachfront vacation rentals in Sandestin.

The living room, complete with two walls of windows, boasts almost complete panoramic views of the beautiful sugary white sands and emerald green waters of the Gulf. There is a 4k Ultra HD TV including a sound bar for incredible movie-watching when relaxing at night. You’ll find a DVD collection with something for everyone. The game cabinet is stocked with your family’s favorite games and puzzles – perfect for a rainy day at the beach!

The dining area, with comfortable seating for eight, features a large concrete top table with an oyster chandelier. In addition to this, there are two stools at the kitchen counter. Adjacent to the dining area is a wine/beverage fridge, perfect for keeping all of your favorite beverages cold!

The kitchen, featuring Vetrazzo countertops with recycled glass and oyster shells, is completely outfitted for entertaining. From sea-inspired tableware and glassware to beautiful serving platters and bowls, each meal at the beach can be a special one.

All three bathrooms feature new cabinetry, new quartzite countertops, new tile and beautiful new fixtures. You’ll feel like you are staying at a five-star resort!

Each bedroom features a down comforter, with sea-inspired décor. Whether you are in the “Sunrise Room” – painted in the exact same coral color as the beautiful sunrise at the beach, the Shark-themed bunk room, or the “Sea Coral” master suite, you’ll feel right at home. The master suite also features a Bose Wave clock radio/CD player. There is a wall mounted TV in each of the bedrooms.

At Westwinds there is a lot to enjoy besides the beach. You will find one of the most luxurious pool areas (with seasonal concession/bar) and a kid's pool. A Jacuzzi is provided for adult use. There is also a well-equipped workout room overlooking the gorgeous pool.

Beyond the pool is the sugar sand beach. You may choose to rent chairs and umbrellas from the resort, or you may bring your own.

At Westwinds, you can walk to your choice of restaurants on the beach, including The Beach House and Barefoots Beach Bar and Grill at the Sandestin Hilton. There are two additional restaurants inside The Hilton, which are open for our guests as well. You can also walk to the Serenity by the Sea Spa at the Hilton.

When you stay at the Smith Shark Shack, you also get complimentary access to the shuttle that runs throughout the Sandestin Resort. So, leave the car at the condo and enjoy a night out shuttling to the fun places in Sandestin including Baytowne Wharf!

View is amazing and condo is spacious!

Loved most everything about this place and definitely will return. A few updates needed… dishwasher door is loud opening and closing, refrigerator inside bottom drawers are not operational because of counter, master dresser drawers not working properly. This is not a negative post because everything can be corrected. We loved our stay in this unit and it accommodated us very well.

Family fun

My wife and our 4 kids stayed here over fall break. We had a wonderful time! We have built several homes over the years and really enjoyed the decor and finishes in the condo. The view from the patio is amazing and I appreciated the outdoor furniture. The kids had lunch on the patio one day. The grounds were well kept and the pool and hot tub were very clean. Great bonus that there’s a bar and snack shop at the pool. We to several popular restaurants in Destin but one of the best nights we had was at The Beach House just 1/4 mile down the beach. Super easy to get a table and the food and service were on point.

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: 4835 Westwinds was a beautiful unit. It’s a spacious unit with plenty of room to spread out. It has stunning views of the ocean. The sectional sofa was so comfortable I’m looking for one like it to put in my home! The bedding was a bit minimal so if you like heavy blankets bring your own. Easy fix. We would absolutely rent this unit again! This was our first stay in San Destin and it won’t be the last.

Spring Break 2021

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This is the second time we have stayed at this property for spring break and is by far our favorite unit at the Westwinds. The entire rental process was very smooth with the property management company and the unit is fantastic. My only complaint is that the master bed needs to be replaced. It is so soft and worn out that it sags in the middle. Everything else about furniture and decor is top notch.

Paradise in a Bottle

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: Over the years, this was simply the best rental unit and rental experience. This unit was perfection and the building luxurious. The decor, the cleanliness, the location, that VIEW. Plenty of space for two families to share. Every morning sitting on that balcony taking in the view was everything. Relaxing. Paradise in a bottle. Soothing for the soul. Best building and pool at SanDestin. Platinum rentals was great at communication and was a super easy rental process. I would use them and rent this exact unit over and over.

Beautiful condo with stunning views

Rating Details: The property manager was adequately 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 is our second time in this beautifully remodeled condo. Beautiful views, terrific location, very comfortable beds. Our only complaint is the management company...we couldn’t get anyone to answer when our water was off (a Friday at 4pm). Luckily, another resident helped us find and reset the HALO system. They also are stingy with dishwasher soap (one pellet for a 4 day stay), dish soap and trash bags. So make sure to bring extra with you, along with beach towels.

Amazing location, Condo, and Memories

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: The condo was perfect! Great view for morning coffee or evening sunset. The kitchen was well stocked (regular coffee pot and Keurig), and the beach wagon was a life saver! There was plenty of space for everyone to spread out. Grace was super helpful and we leveraged iWheel to do all of shopping in advance. Only suggestion were for small convenience things nothing specific to the unit: 1 dishwashing sample wasn't enough for a week, some beach toy/boogie boards and a few more towels would have been nice. There is a Dollar General very close and they have everything you might need (paper plates, solo cuts, and even boogie boards). We loved it and would totally come back and have told several people about it already!

Beautiful place, beautiful view

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. 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: The condo was beautifully decorated, kitchen with plenty of items for cooking. Stayed with 3 kids, 4 adults and plenty of room. Terrific view of the beach and our teenagers from balcony Washer/dryer in unit. The building is on the edge the condo my key, houses on the beach to the the beach was less crowded than further to the left with all the condo buildings. My only complaints involves the management service. We had to ask for garbage bags (cheap, flimsy, tore easily) and there were no coffee filters; typically stocked in rental properties for a 3-day rental. Bring everything...salt and pepper not even there. Also, bring your beach towels. A map to the property would have been nice, and the shuttle routes/pick ups. Also, very little info on golf cart rental...we weren't there long enough to figure that out.

The perfect beach condo

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 rental was hands-down one of the very nicest we've ever stayed in! We felt more as if we were guests in someone's beautiful home than renters. The freshly renovated unit is perfectly appointed with subtle tones that blend beautifully with the breathtaking views of the ocean. We enjoyed coffee and breakfast on the balcony each morning and cocktails there in the evenings. We even had a full moon over the ocean the week we were there! Our trip was an end of the summer last hurrah with our two daughters who are leaving for their first year of college and our other two daughters who are in high school. We love the location as everyone could come and go from the pool or beach as they pleased, have lunch or just take a break up in the condo during the day, and we all loved going over to Baytowne Wharf in the evenings to enjoy live music, dinner in one of the many restaurants or just a scoop of ice cream. This rental is great for families of all ages as the pool is just out the door (with a baby pool) and the ocean just a few steps further. Platinum Services was great to work with, with a handy app for my phone that walked us through every step from check-in to check-out. One morning the AC didn't seem to be working, and they had maintenance there within the hour to fix it. They were very responsive, friendly and helped our trip go smoothly. We look forward to returning to the Smith Shark Shack in the future and highly recommend it to anyone planning a vacation in the Sandestin/Destin area!

Good Spring Break Week

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Great condo. We ended up with a few less people than originally planned but we still had enough room for everyone. Bright, open and spacious. Everything was cleaned for us when we arrived. Location right on the beach is great. Take the elevator down , a short walk and you are on the sand. Relax on the balcony and look out at the ocean. The pictures in the post are accurate and what you will get. We had an issue with one of the toilets that did not work. They sent someone right up immediately but unfortunately that had to order parts. That toilet was unavailable for the duration of our stay, but that is not really their fault. The good news is that there are two other bathrooms to use!We mostly went out for dinner so never used the kitchen, but looking through the cabinets, it is well stocked for anything that you might want to cook.The only issue we had is it was hard to figure out what on the complex we could use. Example, there are tennis courts near a different condo but within the Sandestin property. Can we use those? Being a condo, there is not really a front desk to ask those questions like you would at a hotel. There are multiple golf courses on the property but some say Sandestin property users only? Could we play those? If we were staying more than a week, I'm sure that I would have figured all of this out so it was not a big deal. Destin's Warf area was about 30 minutes away (when there was traffic). There is grocery stores and shopping within 15 minutes form the condo. The ultimate question: Would we stay here again? Yes!

3rd Times a Charm!

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: It was our 3rd time staying at the beautiful Shark Shack! The views are amazing and the water was so clear. We truly enjoy the vibe of Westwinds with a large pool, manageable beach access, and the snack bar/beverage center. The condo was clean and is designer decorated. Other than needing some chip clips (which we improvised with forks) the kitchen has everything you need to cook in. There are restaurants in close proximity which is nice. We look forward to vacationing here again!
