The snorkelers in your group will love the new artificial reef called Seahorse Reef, deployed in 2017. Located just 715 feet out from the Topsail Hill Preserve State Park access, it is becoming a haven for sea life. Each of the 4 snorkeling reefs comprises 40 acres of permitted sea bottom. The Seahorse Reef is at a depth of 13-18 feet. We strongly recommend that snorkelers use a kayak, paddleboard, or other flotation device when visiting the snorkel reefs. Sea conditions can and do change quickly and often. Enjoy!

Great stay at sandestin

I was here for over a month. Everything was great. The only issue that came up, a neighbor below smoked cigars day and night on his deck. The smoke would carry up to my deck and would get pulled inside if i opened the patio door. Also effected the use of the deck at times. Probably a one time issue i d guess

Great for exploring!

Location Location is definitely what we enjoyed. Even thought the beach was not as closed as we wanted to, there is definitely a lot other options available without having to drive anywhere. From live band, good restaurants, and good shopping, there is really nothing to complain about. You can either stay in and relax at the pool with a beautiful view of the garden or explore!

We had a ball. I loved that we stayed atop of Baytown Warf. At night, we walk down to get food and ice cream. The Condo was great! But, the floors needed mopping. Our feet were dark from walking barefoot.

Wonderful family location

Once you park your car there is no need to get back in until you leave. Everything you need is on premises (except a really good sauté pan so bring one if you will need one). The kids loved the activities and not once did I have to hear “I’m bored”. The tram takes you straight to the beach and we met lots of nice families from all over. Already planning our return this summer. -Sarah-

Great location and cute beach decor!

We really enjoyed our stay at Pilot House! It was so nice to be able to walk right outside our door to the Baytowne Wharf with shops and restaurants. We loved cute beach decor and loved being able to open the big, glass doors and sit on the deck listening to the breeze through the trees and the waterfall from the pool right outside. Also a very close drive to the beach. Would definitely stay here again!

A lovely appointed condo with a beautiful view

Looks just like it does in the pictures. Extremely clean! Nicely decorated, beautiful balcony view, great location, lovely pool area, and scenic grounds. Bed was comfortable but very tall ( approximately 31 inches in height) Might be a challenge to get in and out of for individuals with limited mobility and height. Note…to get to pool area go to center of building—3rd floor. Loved our stay!! Plan to rent again.

Great location, pretty unit!

506 Pilot House was perfect for our week-long getaway. It was very bright and pretty, with great balcony space too. The location in the wharf was perfect for evening strolls or entertainment. It was a quick drive to the beach. We utilized the closest pool until we found the heated one and then used that. The kitchen was fully stocked for a vacation trip. The unit was very clean except for the floors. We had to wear slippers or shoes or else our feet / socks were blackened instantly. Other than that, it was extremely clean. There was no assigned parking (no spots in the garage are numbered even though the check-in portal said there was a spot), but parking was always available so it didn’t matter. The lobby code hadn’t been updated in the portal either but an owner helped us out. All other information in the portal was accurate. The Sandestin app / website is functional but doesn’t give a whole lot of detailed information about things to do or how to access areas. Most of the restaurants we ate at (almost all off property) were from word-of-mouth of other guests / owners. The wharf area turned out to be the best for our week since we enjoy nightlife and didn’t mind the quick drive to the beach. We would definitely consider staying here again if we returned to the area. We really enjoyed our stay.

The condo was nice and clean, quiet. The write up does not clarify that you do not get a tram card for transportation around the Baytown Area. If you do not have a car. You cannot leave the area to go to beach, etc. Also some of the reviews online say golf cart. You do not get a golf-cart with condo, nor can you rent one no place to park a golf-cart.
