Great location

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: It is a great location and everything worked. The bedrooms are on opposite sides which provides great privacy. The only negative is the old uncomfortable furniture. The living area definitely needs updated.

Wonderful condo

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a great week staying at 657 Bayou. The condo was large enough for our group of 6, 3 being children. The golf cart was a must, which is why we chose this condo to begin with, it did not disappoint! Condo was clean. Furniture is a little old and kind of dingy looking but was fine for us, patio furniture needs work, bolts falling out. Overall a fantastic week!

In a great area

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The home offers a potentially great experience. The amenities in the home were a bit lacking- had to buy all our supplies tp, laundry soap, body soap, shampoo, etc.- and things definitely need to be updated. The furniture is a bit over dirty, the floors were dirty, the window coverings hang off the windows, the beds are way to soft, the door to the home is covered with bugs. We spent the first two days trying to get things around the house fixed, namely the golf cart and charging station. I will say the management company was very responsive and kind and got things taken care of. The golf cart is really the main way to get around sandestin, which is very fun, but not so much if it is not working properly. The sink was also clogged and the disposal did not work. But the kitchen is well equipped and the area and location is amazing! It could not have more fun things to do and the whole family had a blast. This home would be a 5 star with some TLC and a little less scrooge on the supplies/towels.

Dated but comfortable , no major issues but bring your essentials. Communication was good but someone in the cleaning crew smoked because there was the smoke smell when we entered. Would rent again.

Much needed relaxing vaca

This was a great week, at a great, family friendly place. Had a great time, just a short way from the beach. Good pool access, pickle ball, shopping, and golf. Not fancy, but a great place for our needs!

Drapes in the living room and bedroom need some work to operate smoothly. Enjoyed the setting near the lake. We used the electric BBQ grill quite a bit.

Great, Nice & Peaceful

Stayed at other houses at Sandestin, but this is the best one!! Loved the screened-in porch, house had everything a person needs, and was a safe location. Only problem was the emergency brake on golf cart would not always set, took a rock with us.

My husband and I have been unable to do a family vacation with our daughters due to military restrictions, deployments and work up cycles. In December we will be moving down to Destin for work and just thought we would find a condo to vacation while still knock out looking at houses. Through our stay our eyes were opened and we absolutely fell in love with this community so much so that we are looking for a home in this area! This condo is in a prime location. Wonderful mix of relaxation and amenities. The golf cart was an excellent addition to transport the fam and explore this area. The beach, pools, grocery store, restaurants and shopping are all accessible via cart. The condo was clean and well stocked with cookware. Yes, you do have to bring your own seasonings and some other miscellaneous items but growing up in CA this was standard in every beach house I ever stayed at it AND you had to bring your cookware so having all the utensils/pots/pans and more really was a nice addition. The property manager went above and beyond to clearly communicate with us and ensure we had a great stay. In case you can’t tell by now, I HIGHLY recommend this property.

Perfect beach getaway

Such a great location. Our family loved it. We always stay beachfront but decided to stay Bayside this time. The kids thought the golf cart was awesome, we all loved the convenience of driving it to the beach, to dinner, to get ice cream. The condo was clean, had everything we needed, was very nicely decorated and comfortable with a pretty view of the lake.

Fun place for family with the cart. A little dirty and a lot busy during spring break.

Pros: Sandestin was a very fun resort with lots to do. The golf cart was great and many things were accessible with the golf cart. The kids loved the catch and release fishing in the ponds. Cons: The condo was not very clean when we arrived. Sand and needles everywhere and a layer of dust on everything. Not dirty enough to call and call the cleaning service though. It was Spring break so the traffic at the resort/beach/pool was terrible. Overall a very fun place and the golf cart to get around was a blast for adults and kids.

Sandestin....best place in the panhandle

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We have stayed multiple times at Sandestin and 4 times at 657 Bayou. Time for an update in the unit. Beds are super soft, living room VERY dusty and furniture is old. Dryer never shuts off, fire hazard! Kitchen well stocked, nice golf cart and unit is spacious. Staff is very friendly and responsive. We caught 5 little lizards in the unit, not sure how that many get in? Sandestin is an awesome resort and we love it, this time the unit just wasn't in the same condition as we have had in the past.
