Lovely Sandestin Resort Studio with Balcony and Beautiful View

My husband and I stayed at the Bayside at Sandestin studio for a wedding. The location was nice, the condo was clean but a bit dated. We had some trouble with the keypad on the doorknob, but eventually got the hang of it. Our host was so gracious as to allow us to check-in a couple hours early with a on-time door code. My only real complaint was the wifi - the studio does not have its own wifi and the wifi in the condo was very spotty, so I was unable to work at all and even the tv had trouble with signal. There was hair left in the shower drain that I had to dig out, and the bathroom counter is very low. This studio was sufficient for our needs for one weekend.

The Sandestin resorts is worth the expense beautiful views, private beach. Location and acceptability were great. Communication and recommendations from the host Salih were prompt, courteous and professional. I appreciate the hospitality. He was readily available and offered good recommendations The views around the property are perfect. Cons - the condos are converted hotel rooms and can use some updating. The view from the unit is if the parking lot. The curtains are worn and are not blackout. The microwave is small and dated. The closet sliding door gets stuck. The room has popcorn ceilings and textured walls. However, Since we spent most time outdoors it was fine. That said, traveling with children it would be great to have a larger fridge/microwave/storage. Overall I would definitely recommend it. The property is on the bay side. With pool out back. Thanks for your hospitality Salih.

Everything was great! Couldn’t have asked for better! Would definitely book again.

This was our first time visiting the Florida panhandle, and the Sandestin Resort was a nice introduction. The whole area was upscale with many outdoor activities available. The check-in process at the gate and in the condo went smoothly. The unit itself was very clean with the proper amount of amenities. We were inadvertently locked out at one point, but the owner quickly communicated and resolved the problem. We have two concerns, however. One, we were unaware that our rental did not include the resort bus system, and the host did not give us info on that ahead of time. I would suggest that he provide an info sheet about the resort in general with a map. Second, the mattresses both crackled loudly when we moved in the bed. We tried to examine the bedding but couldn’t find the source. Although the mattress was comfortable, the noise was disconcerting. All in all, we felt the price we paid and the service we received were in sync.
