We really loved staying in the Sandestin Golf & Beach Resort area because it is close to everything but is less crowded and busy comparing to some other stretch of 98. The properties at SGBR are very well cared for. Our condo is also right on the beach, which offers a lovely ocean view and easy access to the pool and not so crowded beach area. The unit is perfect for a large family or two families of friends. The unit is very tastefully decorated and well designed. I'd definitely stay here again.
With that said, I have a few recommendations: 1) the beds should be checked to ensure they are replaced or updated, especially the one in the bedroom upfront. It squeaked terribly loudly (although the mattresses are comfortable). :) 2) The dishes and cups are really scuffed up and should be replaced. 3) The knives holder is super unique / smartly designed, but the knives are really dull and could use a new set or need sharpening. :) 4) Finally, the dining room table is very lovely, but the weaved chairs are quite worn and starting to come apart / have holes.
We had a little issue with the air conditioning...However, the property management team was super communicative and helpful. I definitely compliment them on their customer service. :)
