Ground floor Studio at Sandestin Luau - close to the beach -

This family owned studio condo is inside Sandestin Golf and Beach Resort. It is right by the Sandestin Beach, nicely decorated and very well maintained with great views. We provide TRAM Access ID so you can move around the Resort, reliable WIFI, Netflix with thousands of TV shows and movies and beach chairs & umbrella and a cart to carry them all to the beach. You will have a King size bed and a queen size cool gel memory foam sofa bed, a kitchenette with microwave, kitchen sink and a mid size refrigerator. Our ground floor patio is the best to relax with fountain view and water sounds.

We provide Pack n' Play in the condo.

We do not offer any military or other discounts. Applicable last minute specials are already built-in to the daily rates. -You pay full amount to confirm your reservation. Please check applicable cancellation policy below-

We do a credit card authorization of $200 as a security deposit, one day before check-in, but never charge your credit card. We automatically release this authorization hold 1 day after check-out. -This item may be stated as "deposit paid at the property" in the quote-

PETS are not allowed per the HOA (no matter how small).

If you reached us through vrbo/homeaway/expedia you will have to book through that channel as we do not accept direct bookings when approached through those channels. For repeat guests we may provide our vacationsatdestin site.

Our similar other unit's VRBO listing numbers are given at the end of this description. You may check those if your dates do not show availability.

Cleaning and linen fees are included in our pricing either under "Resort Fee" or "Property Association fee". The longer you stay, the less rent you pay per night since the Resort fee is averaged over your stay.

Our check-in is at 4pm. Check-out is at 10am. Since you directly go to the unit with your assigned door code, there is no deadline for checking in. You may check-in any time after 4 PM of the check-in day, just like you would at your own vacation home.

If this condo is not available for your dates, do check our other 3 condos at Luau and 6 Baytowne Wharf condos at the village.

With the largest balcony floor plan and next to the small man made creek and water sounds, you will have your own oasis. This is a luxury decorated Studio condo that sleeps up to four. We have one King Size bed, a sofa in the living room that converts to a Queen Size bed. A bathroom, kitchenette, and small living room exactly as seen in the pictures. Free High Speed WiFi is included. We have big Screen LCD TV in the unit. Netflix is provided as complimentary. Coffee Machine, blender, Microwave oven, hotel size Refrigerator, Iron/Ironing board are included. This is a non-smoking unit and guest pets are unfortunately not allowed in LUAU.

Luau is the newest building at the beachside of the Sandestin Resort. The Luau complex has one of the nicest saltwater pools on the resort, with waterfall, kid pool, hot tub and snack bar with tropical surroundings. There is a fitness center and a Meeting Room and plenty of jogging and biking trails to enjoy. Luau's 11th floor observation deck is great for beautiful sunsets and sunrises. The Luau buildings sit on top of a rise just 2 minutes walk from the beaches of Sandestin right next to Hilton.

The Sandestin Resort area is the best resort in the area and has so much to offer. This security gated community provides added safety for the family. With its championship golf courses, tennis centers, miles of bike/jogging trails, miles of beaches, restaurants, shops, Baytowne Wharf, and children's activities all just inside the resort. The Marina with jet ski and watercraft rentals, Jolee Island and the multiple tree houses and nature walks are just a part of what this top resort destination offers. You will have plenty to do!. Sandestin Kid's club is very highly rated.

We offer a combination Keurig and Regular coffee brewing machine as seen in the listing pictures. Please bring coffee and filters.

You will find this ground floor Luau II condo is a luxury place to relax and enjoy while visiting the Sandestin Resort area. This condo has a large patio next to a small pond with a fountain. You will hear the sound of water as you may have a quick bite or relax at the patio. Most studios either have a very small balcony or no balcony at all. We love this studio primarily because of its modern design, 55 inch smart TV and most of all it's very large patio. Our condo is family owned. We will provide you with personal service you will not find with a big management company.
Our condo is equipped with a key-less lock system that makes check-in a breeze, no keys to get, just go directly to your room. Plus the key-less lock system provides added security for you and top that off with the fact that the Luau is in a gated area with controlled access you could not find a safer spot.

There is no check-in or check-out at the lobby. You simply go to the condo, enter the door code and make yourself at home. There is also no front desk in the building.

If you arrive early, feel free to enter into the resort and enjoy the beach. However we do not allow early check-in's to the unit especially during high season since the unit is mostly booked back to back and we need extra time to prepare the condo

Whether you are a couple looking for a romantic getaway or planning that beach family vacation this is a great place for you.

You will have access to our beach closet that includes beach chairs, umbrella, and beach toys for that sandcastle! All you have to do is grab the beach bag, grab the chairs, and stroll to the beach. Since we are on the beach side it is a short 2-3 minute walk from your front door!
Our goal is to provide you a family owned place to stay that makes you feel like you're in a home away from home and you will return for years to come. I will be available to you 24/7. We have enjoyed the area for years and hope you and your family will do too!

Cleaning is provided at the end of your stay, right after you check-out. We kindly ask that you follow check-out timelines. If there is no guest arriving after you check-out or check-in, we may allow early check-in or late check-out. Just ask.

Great Vacation Getaway!
Our Vacation at Sandestin Ground Floor Studio at Luau exceeded our expectations! The ground floor studio had everything we needed and more! It was very comfortable! We loved the Beach Theme, king bed, and location! Parking was close and walk to the beach was about 2 minutes. The resort was beautiful and had plenty of things to do! We enjoyed the Mini Golf Course just a short stroll away. We will definitely book again!

Good room, Great pool
We found the room to be clean and communication with the manager excellent. There were no hiccups and the process was extremely efficient with Sandestin resort. The room is more like a typical hotel room but fit our needs for our short stay before a longer stay in a larger condo unit on the property. The pool at Luau is one of the best on property and we enjoyed spending time there. Our only disappointments were difficulty finding an open parking space and the location of the room immediately inside the lobby door. We expected a lot of noise with the room location and that did occur but didn’t hinder our stay.

About the host

Hosted by Tufan Beyatli

Host profile image
We love beach vacations. Growing up in Cyprus, I used to think that no beach is better than the salty waters of Mediterranean and our sandy beaches are the best. Then I saw turquoise waters and sugary white beaches of Destin, Florida and fell in love at first sight. This is the reason we bought beach condos in Destin. We visit regularly as a family and rent them ourselves. Our four Luau condo's are located at the beachside of Sandestin Resort next to Hilton, Our 6 other condos are at the Bayside of Sandestin right next to the Village of Baytowne Wharf. We also own at Pelican Beach Resort, Majestic Sun Resort at Seascape and Waterscape Resort. All are beachside updated properties with great reviews.

Why they chose this property

It is 2-3 minutes walk to the the famous Sandestin beach. The Turquoise waters and white sands made us fall in love with the Resort. Magnificent views from the Condo of little creek, water fountain and courtyard between Luau I and Luau II buildings. Walking distance or a short TRAM drive to the village of Baytowne Wharf. Tennis/Golf/cycling/kayaking. Family oriented, also great for Spring break crowd and youngsters or young -at-hearts. Sandestin Golf & Beach Resort. Newest Property in Sandestin. Luau pool is really cool with it's own Waterfall. Great family getaway. Romantic Destination.

What makes this property unique

Ground Floor- Which means no elevators, no stairs to climb. We are right there at the entrance. Fully furnished. Nicely maintained. 55 inch Smart TV. Very large Patio with water sounds.

You have access to the following;
TRAM
Free high speed wireless internet.
Kitchenette
Umbrella/Chairs and cart to carry them all to the beach at our personal storage.
Netflix
Pack n' Play in the condo.
