Reviewer Comments:
Our family vacations in Sandestin every year, we always enjoy our stay. This rental was just as posted and convenient to the pool, wharf and the beach.
The location and unit were as advertised. There were some things that took away from the overall experience. The bathroom had sand on the floor when we arrived. The air conditioning unit went out twice. The king bed was rock hard and not very comfortable. Everything else was great!
VRBO is the only way we will vacation in the future!
This place was absolutely perfect. Fresh, modern, spotlessly clean.
Conveniently located just a few short steps outside the Village of Baytowne Wharf entrance.
Check in is a breeze if you are comfortable using text messaging.
Be sure to follow all instructions that are sent to you via email. Also, pay the $10 to get the parking pass (QR code) for the garage, you'll want this!
This particular condo worked out perfectly for us. It is not ocean side, but it is conveniently located for access to the village, marina, and golf courses, which aligned better with our interest. It is a short walk to the village and marina, but it is NOT walking distance to the beach/ocean. Not a big deal because they do include shuttle bus passes located on lanyards inside the room. Remember, this is a 2,400 acre resort property. The shuttle is perfect for getting around.
We were really happy with our stay here. If you'd like to see a room tour, property tour or a glimpse at our stay, search "Gebo's Garage Sandestin" on YouTube or Google. Be part of the 21 million people that have seen our reviews!

I booked this little condo for a family vacation to Destin. It was a great little place for myself and conveniently located to where my family was staying in the center of Baytown Wharf. This unit was in the Elation building and was just far enough from the nightlife and noise. It's close to a great pool (if that's your thing) and it has an elevator in the building, which to me was a huge perk. Overall my stay was great. The bed was very big and comfy, the condo was spacious, and the kitchen was stocked with pots and pans if I had decided to cook. There were a few things that bothered me though, such as communication with the property managers through VRBO was almost non-existent. I asked for a wifi password (which I was told I wouldn't need) because I had work to do, and it took them two days to get back to me, which meant I had to travel to get WiFi to do my work. I also reached out to see if I could extend my trip and I received no response from anyone, which I think is not only disappointing, but rude and unprofessional. Also, there were ZERO rugs in this unit. I know that's an odd complaint, but it felt very cold and not very homey without one rug in the whole unit. The last problem that I had was that the shower curtain on the inside of the shower was filthy. There was a pink residue and it looked like it had never been cleaned. As well as black mold/mildew in the grout of the shower. The app that they make you download doesn't work either and continuously crashes.

I loved this rental, it was just as described. So much to do within the location from pools to taking walks and the most we loved was that it was so close to Baytowne Wharf! Literally walking distance. The balcony was a plus! Everything you need from coffee maker to microwave. Even has a washer n dryer!
Conveniently located with easy access to the pool, Baytown Wharf, etc. We will be back!

We loved our rental property. It was a great location, clean, and had everything we needed.
Excellent room. Perfect walking distance to Baytown shops, restaurants, and kids activities. Pool and hot tub right out front door. We will definitely be back.
My family of 3 enjoyed our stay. This is our second time staying near Baytown and it’s great to be in walking distance of shops, dining, and entertainment. We loved the grounds and the pools are great. The room itself was small but perfect for two adults and a toddler. Overall it was clean but we did notice the light fixtures over the kitchen table were dusty but other than that the room was very clean. Communication with management was easy as well as check in and departure.

Beautiful condo with lovely facilities. Master bedroom was comfortable however sleeper couch was not the best and although there were sheets and pillows for the sleeper there was no blankets for the sleeper.
Our room was very nice and clean. We absolutely enjoyed the location and the property was beautiful. Finding our way to the room took longer than necessary as it is a gated community and we were stopped and sent to the Resort office. The only recommendation we have is a new mattress for the bed. My husband and I were so uncomfortable after the third night I ended up sleeping on the couch.

Pros: Great location. Pretty spacious. Quiet. Tram access. Full-sized kitchen and appliances. Cons: Extensive booking/check-in process (way more than anywhere I've ever stayed). TINY parking spaces in the parking garage.(made for compact vehicles) I drove my full-sized pickup and had the toughest time trying to get in into a space. Had to walk all the way around front to meet pizza guy. Unit could've been a bit more tidy. All in all, we enjoyed ourselves.

The room was nice for a couple. As pictured. It’s $10 for parking in the garage for the whole stay which is nice because it’s covered parking and convenient to rooms for packing and unpacking. Only downside to the garage is the spaces are small. Larger trucks had difficulty. Room was really nice except for the ac not going under 70 degrees. So if you like a colder room I wouldn’t recommend it. Vacation haven was excellent with correspondence. Definitely recommend them.

The private condo/apartment was very nice offered basic amenities. The sofa bed was standard and fine for my young kids, but very uncomfortable for an adult. Plenty of bath towels and a small welcome kit was available. I do wish there was more body soap/shampoo available. The garage parking was only available for one day, which made coming and going a chore because the general parking was about a 10 minute walk.
Overall, the property was beautiful and a simple commute to the beach and local destinations. Sandestin is wonderful for families and we would definitely stay again if looking for entertainment for the kids.
Far enough to not be bothered by the evening noise of the bustling Baytowne Wharf area but close enough to walk to and from it. The beach area provided by Sandestin Golf and Beach Resort is too small for the amount of people staying at the resort so the beach is very crowded. There was only about 2 feet of space between our blanket and that of the other people around us. This was a drastic difference from the last time we were here 4 yrs ago. But this has more to do with the resort as a whole, not this specific condo unit. However, there are other beach options only 5-10 min away from the resort that we’re not nearly as crowded. Best beaches in the continental U.S!

Reviewer Comments:
I had several issues with this property, upon arrival we could not get in the parking garage and the after hours employee was no help at all in fact he said” well there’s nothing I can do for you” thankfully the sandestin security was able to get us in, the floors had sand all over them as if they hadn’t been cleaned at all, there were no blankets, the tvs didn’t work, and no Wi-Fi. I had left messages with the after hours crew about the TV as well as left messages on the answering machine with no return call. I have also left several messages with staff regarding my issues with the property/stay for the manager to call me and I haven’t heard back. I have rented through my vacation haven for several years now but the last 2 years have no been good and the customer service has went down hill.
