⭐ You will have access to the entire property (excluding the Owners closet). You will check in using an electronic keypad lock located on the entry door. The access code and additional restrictions will be sent before arrival. It is very important that we get a good email address from you after booking.

STARTER KIT
⭐ Our property has a "Starter Kit" to get you through your first 24-48 hours. This includes two kitchen trash can liners, two dishwashing packets, mini shampoo, conditioner, lotion, one roll of toilet paper per bathroom, and one roll of paper towels. We supply bath towels, washcloths, and hand towels. We do not provide beach towels, laundry detergent, seasonings/spices, zip locks, or liquid dishwashing detergent. You can pick up your favorite items at the nearby Walmart, Target, Publix, or Winn-Dixie.

Wi-Fi
⭐ Our property provides a private network. The Wi-Fi info will be found in the property binder on the kitchen counter. We know WI-FI is essential to everyone. However, we cannot guarantee the internet speed or signal strength. We have found that our Wi-Fi signals are not optimal during peak season due to the number of people visiting our area. We suggest you bring your hotspot device if you need high-speed internet during your stay. **Bring your passwords for streaming services.** Don't forget to log out when you leave.

PARKING
⭐ Upon arrival, you will pick up two parking passes from the guard gate. There is no additional cost associated with the parking passes. We have two spaces available for parking, but please note that it is first come, first serve.

BEACH SERVICE
⭐ Complimentary beach service is not included with the rental. Typically, you can find beach chairs, toys, and umbrellas outside the courtyard. This is a leave one, take one setup, so we do not guarantee what will be available upon arrival. If you'd prefer to rent chairs and umbrellas, we can provide you with the beach service contact info after booking.

POOLS / COMMUNITY AMENITIES
⭐ There is one community pool right around the corner from our townhome. No alcohol or glass is allowed near the pool/spa. You cannot add anything to the pool/spa, including bath salts, bath bombs, etc. Please review and adhere to the Safety Precautions sign next to the amenity. Use the amenity AT YOUR OWN RISK! Please note additional rules for more info.

GOLF CART
⭐ Our villa does not include a golf cart. Please note that the resort does not allow outside golf carts rentals or scooters.

SECURITY
⭐ Our property currently does NOT have an entry camera. The resort contracts with a security service to provide security for resort grounds and amenities. The resort may have cameras throughout the area. If you touch or tamper with the cameras, you will be asked to leave the property immediately without a refund and will be held responsible for any damages.

BOOKING
⭐ You must be 25+ to book. The person booking and paying for the reservation must be a group member staying at the property. Read, review, and sign OUR rental agreement within 48 hours of booking and before check-in. No events or parties are allowed.

CHECK-IN/CHECK-OUT
⭐ Check-in any time after 4 p.m. CST. Check-out is any time before 10 a.m. CST.

EARLY ARRIVALS
⭐ We would love to accommodate early arrivals. However, it is nearly impossible during the busy season due to increased traffic delays and a limited workforce. Therefore, if you have an early flight, please plan to book an extra day so that you may check in before 4 p.m. If that isn't an option, one of our favorite public beaches is Pompano Joe's in Miramar Beach. It offers large bathrooms, plenty of parking, and a beachside restaurant. Our PCB properties have many options for public beach access, but our favorite would be Public Beach Access 54-57, right in front of Pier Park! Since we are always on a tight schedule, we ask that all guests depart promptly at 10 a.m. CST.

KITCHEN
⭐ The kitchen has a fully equipped refrigerator, stove, oven, microwave, dishwasher, cookware, bakeware, glasses, mugs, plates, flatware, cooking utensils, coffee maker, and fire extinguisher under the sink.

SMOKING
⭐ NO SMOKING on the premises. You will be charged a minimum of $1000 fee for smoking inside the property.

REFUNDS
⭐ Absolutely NO refunds or discounts due to weather, natural disasters, or any other situations beyond our control.

Lastly, HAVE FUN at the beach, but please beware of rip currents and understand the beach flags!

It was excellent. It’s called pet friendly but was not in the description that if you bring your pet it’s a $300 fee. If it’s called pet friendly then there should be no fee. I didn’t like that but overall it’ was good !!

Cute condo and quiet property
This condo was super cute, had a beautiful view from downstairs patio, and clean The twin bed mattress would benefit from an upgrade. The location requires a car to access any of the resort amenities if outside business hours, and it is close the beach. There is a tram and shuttle bus service that runs on a 30 min loop. The management company, Forever Rentals, was responsive and made check in and check out process easy. Overall I would stay there again.

Great Location
It’s a nice property in a nice location but could be updated. It would have been nice to have new dish towels and potholders rather than old stained ones. The living room area rug is old and should be replaced. A little TLC would make it much better.

Fabulous time at the beach
This was a wonderful place to stay in Sandestin. We were able to walk to the beach and the pool was just a few steps away also. The property management company was excellent in all of their communications with us. We look forward to coming back here again!

Overall the property is very good. I had a few issues that were handled quickly. The guest bedroom bath needs a much better curtain rod. I suggest one of the curved ones.

We love SanDestin, but felt the property needed updating. We saw many undesirable insects in the condo. The patio furniture had some broken chairs and the grill was filthy. The inside condo was dated. Loved the pool.

Condo - disappointed
I was disappointed that the condo was not as clean as I thought it should be. The glass coffee table has dried liquid or something on it - I used a scrubby to get it off. Many of the cups and dishes were not clean. Even a few pans were not as clean as they should be. I guess they just took them out of the dishwasher and put them up without really looking closely at them. The master mattress is horrible. You sit down on the bed and you sink way down. My husband had to sleep on the sofa as his back could not take it. The kitchen table needs to be painted. Scratches and scrapes on it. I’ve rented several condos and then one definitely needs some TLC and updating. The location was great. The setting was nice. But I would not rent it again.

The resort is on a very nice stretch of beach. There are pools in the neighborhood for some freshwater swimming. Golf is a major part of this resort. The gated entrance and age restrictions keep the place fairly quiet. Many people took advantage of the bicycle rentals.

Poor communication and bad mattress
We never received check-in information or the code to get into the unit. We called them only to find that there was no way to contact them on the weekend. We left a message but have never heard back. Fortunately, we were able to contact a maintenance man who was able to guess the door code. Also, we never received the codes for the pools. Finally, the mattress in the master bedroom is too soft and provides absolutely no support.

FOREVER VACATION RENTALS
Shannon and I moved from St. Louis, MO, to Destin, FL, in the Summer of 2011. I have over 20 years in the Property Management field, including Vacation Rentals, Multi-Family, and Senior Living. I am also a Realtor with Worth Clark Realty. Shannon is our “go-to guy” and always goes above and beyond. He handles most operations, including Inspecting and Scheduling Turns, Owners' Statements, and Accounting, and helps oversee our Housekeeping Department. You will find that we are passionate and very hands-on. Not only are we available to our Homeowners at all times, but we are also available to our guests.

God has blessed us with our two children, Riley (18 y/o) and Jax (8 y/o). Our hearts and home are also filled with our fur babies! We support our local animal shelters and rescues.
We look forward to our Friday night movies at home with our children, fishing (although we aren't any good at it – haha), church, and Sunday football. We are very family oriented and find that most homeowners become like family to us.

In the Spring of 2016, we expanded our business by hiring Debbie. She is my amazing mom! When it came time to hire someone, it only made sense to bring her on board! You honestly can't find a more caring, loyal, and trustworthy person! Debbie handles all of our reservations and during the summer months, she helps with our inspections. If you ever want to hear a friendly voice and be uplifted, call her!

We can't forget about the rest of our team! EVERY. SINGLE. PERSON. on our team is important to our success. Our goal is to hire folks with passion, enthusiasm, and motivation to win! We want them to know that no detail is too small, and a happy guest is a repeat guest! There is nothing more rewarding than to receive a compliment about how genuine and hard-working we are! Small gestures go a long way in this business! We love to WOW!
