We just returned from a wonderful vacation in Sandestin. We stayed at the Sandestin Golf and Beach resort in the Luau I which was beachside. Our family consisted of 4 adults and two children. The two bedroom, two and 1/2 bath condo was very spacious and looked brand new. We were told this is the newest property on the resort and is about 8 months old. It was only a short walk to the beach. We had a corner unit on the 8th floor with a balcony which gave you an overall view of the Luau
parking lot, other villa's, and the ocean in the far distance. As others suggested, we also went to Publix and stocked up on breakfast and lunch items. This made it convenient to have lazy beach days. We enjoyed eating out at night and usually did so at the Baytown Wharf area. Our favorite meal there was at a place called Jim N Nick's BBQ. They had these wonderful cheese muffins that were served while you were waiting for your dinner. We also enjoyed the ferry shuttle over there. Overall, we were there from Wed. - Sun. and it went by so fast. The next time, we want to stay longer. There's so much to do and not enough time to do everything. Of course, the best part was the beach. The white sand really does look like sugar and the water is so blue/green and clear. I thought this was the prettiest beach I'd seen in the United States. We have vacationed before in the Caribbean and I thought this beach was equally as beautiful. We can't wait to go back and I'm having Sandestin withdrawal now.

Just got back from Sandestin Golf and Beach resort, stayed at the Luau Tower 1. It is a new condo/hotel and is was very nice. The grounds are well kept and the views are beautiful. The pool is gorgeous, it is very clean and big and the waterfall and palm trees are a plus. Less then a five minute walk to the beach. Since you have complimentary rentals of the boogie boards, bikes, and kayaks take advantage of them. It is very fun and the resort is beautiful. BIG TIP. Go to the grocery store(less then a 4 miles away) and stock up on breakfast and lunch food and beer. The resort restaurants are very pricey. $10 bucks for a cheeseburger and $4 for a beer $7.50 for a mix drink. Thank god for the free shuttle service within the resort. They will take you anywhere and even to the grocery store. Overall the short time we was there was wonderful and we would go back.
