About this property
Fairways 202 @ Sandestin * Golf Cart & Pet Friendly * DON'T MISS FALL BREAK!
Pack your flip-flops, bring the pup, and get ready to Wine Down. Tucked inside the Fairways neighborhood at Sandestin Golf and Beach Resort, this beautiful three-bedroom cottage is made for guests who want comfort, convenience, and a little extra fun on vacation. With lake views, a private pier, a spacious screened porch, and a 6-seat golf cart included, getting into vacation mode is practically automatic.
Start your mornings with coffee from the Keurig or standard coffee maker, then gather in the bright modern kitchen featuring stainless steel appliances, fresh white cabinetry, subway tile accents, and quartz counters. The dining area seats six comfortably, making it easy to share pancakes before the beach, snacks after golf, or a sunset dinner together. In the living room, brand-new furniture, a roomy sofa, and two swivel accent chairs create the perfect spot to relax, laugh, and unwind after a day exploring the resort.
The first-floor primary bedroom overlooks the lake and features a king bed for a dreamy night’s sleep. A private updated bathroom adds extra ease. Also on the first floor, the twin guest bedroom is a great fit for kids or young adults and includes its own private bathroom with a stand-up shower.
Upstairs, the loft-style queen bedroom feels like its own private hideaway. Step out onto the balcony with lounge chairs and a bistro set, soak up the Florida sunshine, and enjoy peaceful lake views. A small sitting area with a desk and a nearby private bathroom make this second-floor space ideal for guests who want a little extra privacy.
Love traveling with your pet? Wine Down is pet friendly, so your four-legged family member can join the getaway too. A $250 non-refundable pet fee applies per pet. Two dogs maximum, each under 30 pounds.

We have stayed here before 2 years ago, we love the whole resort!! All the Attractions are close by. The Golf Cart makes everything so much easier!! We will definitely book again probably next year sometime in August!!
Thank you for sharing your resort with us. We really enjoyed our time in Florida. The gated property location was great because of less traffic and congestion, while offering everything we could want. We enjoyed the restaurants and amenities on the property as well as the convenience of the golf cart being available. Access to both the bay and ocean was nice and convenient, as well as shopping, grocery stores and restaurants nearby. Could not have asked for more.
The property itself was clean, comfortable, well maintained, and furnished. Would recommend again.
The view was beautiful and the golf cart was newer & fast which we loved. The fridge needs some freon, the living room rug needs a deep cleaning or to be replaced. The unit overall was cute and the location was lovely. Our 13 year old son loved the pond to fish in. The carpet through out needs to be replaced with new hard floors ( since its pet friendly). All in all we enjoyed our stay.
We booked our family vacation with our wants, which was a golf cart, a screened in porch being the most important to us, and also a lake view. Right before our trip, the property manager emailed me and told me that the place we had booked the golf cart broke down, and she mentioned that she thought that was an important amenity to us. Her solution was to move us to another unit that they manage. It had everything except the lake view. So we took it, and we were very happy that they contacted us, so that we could choose. Our place was fabulous ! Thanks again Saltwater Vacays!
This was our 7th year staying in the sandestine resort. We love the community and amenities. The golf cart makes getting around fun and easy. The home was comfortable clean and convenient. The kids love having a deck so they can feed the turtles.
We completely enjoyed our week at Wine Down. No issues, fun and relaxing! We would highly recommend this house for a family retreat!

February 2023 Stay
We had a great stay at 202. Things were as the online content. The locations is great.
The pond is really peaceful. Only suggestions would be in the second bedroom bath to covert fan to a fan/light combo. Really dark in the shower. Its time to replace the sliding doors on the patio. The locks are really difficult to work.
The location was nice and our arrival was good. However, as we were trying to get settled in, we were surprised by a lady through the rental company that was checking out the place to make sure it was clean and ready. She went through the house checking and when she went upstairs she stayed a good while trying to fix the tv supposedly. I finally told her we wasnt there to watch tv and dont worry about it. I didn't like her being upstairs with all my belongings to be able to go through at all!!!! I dont know this person or company, so that made me Feel very uncomfortable 😕. Also, this woman didnt look to well because we found a shirt and a toy left behind from the other attendants. Overall it was pleasant.

We’ve stayed in the property in another cottage before and love the propriety. It’s beautiful. This stay at Wine Down was now what we planned or paid for. We had maintenance personal in the unit 3 of 6 days we stayed, and **** roaches 6 of 6 days. The place was infested with German **** roaches, we had no cable television, or internet, the grill starter did not work either which was our least concern. A new Keurig was delivered to replace the Keurig that a roach crawled out of. It made for a very unsettling vacation. We felt a bit better once the property manager had the unit sprayed with what they could with children and our dog in the unit. The property manager was very responsive and refunded us $500 which was 17.5 percent of our rental + fees. We would not stay in this unit again. Word of advice if service comes to spray for maintenance in your vacation, let them! Otherwise you will be inadvertently ruining the next families stay.
This property was perfect for our family in every way. We were traveling with two of our adult children so having individual bathrooms and private spaces as an option to the family space was ideal.
The water feature and greenery directly outside the large windows was food to our souls and a wonderful respite from the long, snowy winter we are still experiencing in our northern climate home.
We really enjoyed the golf cart. Being this is our second year in Sandestin, we are slowly learning the delightful nooks and crannies , which never seem to end, in this unique community. We were confident about safety and security at all times. We noticed an issue with the golf cart ( missing lug nut) which we reported to the owner/ manager. A repairman was on-site within 30 minutes to our relief.
The location was within about two blocks of a heated pool which was less crowded than the centrally located swimming pool. We enjoyed the pool in the evenings as well as in the day.
The neighbors are very quiet and the landscaping is beautifully groomed everywhere. We had enjoyable walks, including evening strolls.
A grocery store is located nearby and despite the heavy traffic often located outside this gated community, we generally managed our errands in the mornings prior to the rush. In by doing that, the entire area seemed manageable and transformed. It was worth being purposeful in our shopping schedule.
The communication with the management support was invaluable and I often thought how very fortunate that both the owner and the customer were to have that representative. I spoke a few times with a very caring and polite young lady as we were making amends to our reservation. We had the opportunity to travel a day earlier than expected and since there was availability, the accommodations were pleasantly arranged for us to rent and check in early. I expected there to be annoyance with my minimal request but I was completely wrong. We were very welcome and treated with great kindness. That young lady ( on the phone) is a great benefit to her employer.
We only had drizzle on one morning so we used that time to travel to some nearby sites. The previous year we bought several umbrellas, we didn’t need them this year but I recommend you check the forecast have some in the event there is rain.
We have made a mental note of the layout and suggest this is the perfect retirement house plan . It was comfortable in every way.

The house was clean, good floor plan, great screen porch and dock on the pond, convenient to everything, ample parking, great for walkers, runners and cyclists. We would love to come back next year...or sooner.
We enjoyed our stay here. The screened porch is excellent when staying with a dog. And the pond backdrop is peacful. Property managers were responsive and helpful when needed. And the 6 person golf cart makes the stay so relaxing. We rarely had to use our car. Highly recommend!

The floor plan worked for our family and we appreciated being able to bring our dog. It was a quiet neighborhood. The location was good and it was a short walk to the pool. We enjoyed the use of the golf cart and washer and dryer. The general cleanliness of the condo was lacking - had to sweep porch because it was so thick with pine needles and debris upon our arrival, hair in sink, and used plastic cup in the bedroom. There was an issue with the rug in the den that was not resolved. Carpeting and rugs should not be in pet friendly units.

The cottage was the perfect set up for our family getaway; rooms were ample and very comfortable. Loved that there were 3 full bathrooms and that there was a huge closet to store things in and do laundry as well. The deck made for quiet and peaceful nights and getting to/from the cottage via the resort was super easy. The golf cart was nice as it made getting around the resort easier; my only recommendation would be to upsize to a 6-person golf cart as we had 6 persons in our family and could only transport 4. The kitchen was well stocked with all the amenities we needed in order to prepare our meals; we loved the big dining room table as we could all sit together for meals. The neighborhood was quiet and quaint and the pool around the corner from the cottage was our go-to place to hang out before dinner to wind down and relax. We hung out mostly in the resort in the evenings as there were plenty of places to eat, shop, etc. We especially enjoyed driving the golf card to Publix so that we didn't have to get on the busy highway (98) to get our groceries. You literally don't have to leave the resort to enjoy yourself - PLENTY to do and see.
