Fantastic place for a family trip. Lots to do, easy access with included golf cart. Bicycles available, pool across the street and complimentary ice cream social and bbq.
We had a fabulous time at this location and I have only wonderful things to say about our accommodations, the location and the house itself. We traveled with our grown kids and our grandson and were very comfortable staying for the week!
We have stayed in Sandestin many times and this house is our favorite. Jill was available if we needed anything. The house was an excellent place for our fall family getaway.
Our 2nd time staying at this property and both times were amazing! Everything needed for a special time is stocked and available from the kitchen, bedrooms, and beach items! The amenities and ease of use at the clubhouse were great! Highly recommend this property!
Everything was perfect - the home is stunning. The owner is accomdating. Clean, beautiful, stocked kitchen, water/pool toys, everything exceeded our expectations!
We come to the Destin area at least once a year for vacation, we have stayed on the resort the past 3 yrs and this was by far our best stay! The house is beautiful and clean, the sunset from the back porch is unbelievable. The clubhouse pool is right there, the staff helped book our activities for the week. Highly recommend staying here.
Our family loved this house! Everything was just as described and the location was perfect. Beautiful sunsets, quiet neighbors, great clubhouse pool and hot tub, pier, fantastic golf courses, and convenient to shopping and restaurants. We will certainly rebook again!!
Everything about the home was amazing. They gave you more than enough toiletries and cleaning products for your stay. The location of the home is perfect. There’s a beautiful pier on the bay and walking distance to Baytown wharf. We would definitely recommend this place again
Our stay was excellent! Beautiful home, impeccably decorated, didn’t feel like a rental at all. Beds were comfortable, furniture in finishes were top notch. Great outdoor grill area. It was hot when we were there, AC worked great. I hope the property stays this nice because we will be back!
Everything was as described. This beautiful property is close to everything but still so quiet and peaceful. There is a beautiful view of the bay and it has every amenity. Owner was very friendly and ready to communicate with. Would absolutely book this again!
This is the perfect rental unit for anyone who likes to be close to the Baytowne Wharf! The home is immaculate and has all the amenities you have at home and more.
Do yourself a favor and book this home. Just don't do it when I want to come visit!!
It was as excellent as advertised. The host was easy to contact and very responsive. The amenities provided were as good as you will find anywhere. The staff at the property was always available to answer questions about the Destin area and respond to any of our needs.
The home is as high end and comfortable as shown in the pictures. The owner and property manager were both very accessible and accommodating with all of our questions and special requests. The Inspiration community feels like a country club within the beautiful Sandestin resort. Our family during this visit ranged from senior citizens to a six year old, but everybody said it was one of their favorite vacations. We would love to rent this property again!
The property is amazing! We had a great week and I highly recommend the property. We utilized both golf carts, really enjoyed the private pool, clubhouse, and work out room. The screened porches are great for relaxing. The house is laid out nicely. We had 9 guests with plenty of room. We really enjoyed the house so much; we stayed in several nights utilizing the gourmet kitchen and grill. We will definitely go back!
This home offered us everything we expected and then some. The layout of the home and the furnishings made this home special. During our stay we enjoyed the open layout inside and the spacious back porches.The location near the pool made it easy to enjoy this amenity and the hot tub. The golf cart allowed us easy travel to the beach, the grocery store and other areas around San Destin.
We enjoyed every day of our stay and look forward to returning.
My family and I have been staying in this area for 10 years and this place was the best one yet. Every detail is considered by Jill, the hostess. The beds were comfortable, the place was spotless and it's perfectly located. My favorite part was the view of the bay and the sunsets at night were amazing. Jill is a very responsive host and took good care of us. The place just feels good, clean, comfortable and peaceful. I don't think I can stay anywhere else when I go back to Baytowne and I switch homes every year.
We have stayed here 3 times and at one other house in the Inspiration neighborhood. It’s wonderful! The house is impeccably decorated, the neighborhood is quiet and tranquil. The private pool for neighborhood guests is so very nice. We LOVE golf carting all over especially to view the gorgeous sunsets! Thank you Jill for another wonderful stay and to your caretakers also!! We can’t hardly wait u til next year already!!!
Wow! What a beautiful home!! This house was everything we were hoping for and more. It was comfortable, picture perfect, and the sunsets on the back porch were absolutely unbeatable. Beyond the house, everything we needed for the beach was provided, organized, and clean. We have stayed in many places around Sandestin and have not done a repeat stay. We will absolutely be back to stay at this property. It was perfect!
We enjoyed our stay at this nice cottage. It was very clean and smelt amazing!!! The hosts were quick to answer our questions. The cottage came with just about every necessity you could think of. The golf cart and bikes made getting around easy and fun. We enjoyed our nightly golf cart rides to ice cream. Overall it was a great experience and I would definitely recommend this place to a family looking for a place that feels like home.
From the time we booked till the time we checked out, Jill's communication was impeccable. The home is exactly how it is described. All you need to do is show up. She has everything you need to feel right at home. I love that fact that it's in a secluded area of the larger resort, but not far from anything. The house is also perfectly positioned to watch the sunset on either balcony. We will be back.
We have been staying in the Sandestin Golf and Beach Resort for 20 years. This home was by far the most beautifully decorated and best stocked of any place we’ve stayed. The neighborhood amenities were wonderful and the location was perfect. The malfunction of the almost new golf cart was our only hiccup but wasn’t the fault of anyone but the cart manufacturer. Jill was responsive and attempted to resolve the issue quickly, offering us money back when it couldn't be fixed. The only other thing to be aware of is that the frig doesn’t have a water dispenser. Everything else was absolutely perfect and we’d love to stay there again some day.
Absolutely gorgeous property- the entire family loved using the pool, clubhouse, and fitness room, etc. The location provided easy access to everything we wanted to do! Everyone commended on how comfortable the beds were, and it was so fun to have the golf cart, bikes, beach chairs, etc. We’re all looking forward to returning someday!
