Unit clean with great view. All furniture in unit is in great need of upgrades. Furniture and bathroom quality are not in line with rental cost of unit.I will stay at Westwinds again....but not in this unit unless unit is upgraded as rental cost is much more than unit is worth

4.0 / 5.0
The unit and property exceeded expectations. The property management was attentive and resposive. Access to the beach and pool is super convenient and accessible for everyone. We have vacationed regularly along the panhandle from Destin to Rosemary for nearly 20 years, but this was our first time staying at the Sandestin resort. I specifically selected the resort and unit so that our family could utilize the golf cart and enjoy all of the amenities the resort offers without using our car. On our way to the beach on Sunday, the property manager called to let me know the golf cart was not working. In a follow-up call on Monday, I learned that it needed new wiring and a battery because it was corroded. Because of resort rules, a replacement cart was not allowed. The repairs were completed on Thursday, and the cart made available late Thursday afternoon. We left Saturday morning, so we only had 1 day to use it. I do believe everyone - the property manager, owner, and repair shop - worked to repair it as quickly as possible. However, the rental agreement requires you to accept the cart as is, and the owner did not agree to make concessions.

We had a pleasant stay at Westwinds 4742. We were a multi-generational group with children ages 7-10, parents, and grandparents. Everyone loved the unit. Having a golf cart available was a must for us and this unit provided that. The pool water was warm which the kids all loved. The views were unmatched. We love all of the recent upgrades and will stay again in the future.

We took our family of 5 plus my mother-in-law and had a wonderful stay! The view was gorgeous and the 3 bed/3 bath layout was perfect. We particularly enjoyed having the golf cart, which had enough seats to take all of us over to Baytowne Wharf to explore. Lots of fun! We loved Westwinds 4742 so much we are setting up our next reservation with the other set of grandparents. Highly recommend!

Our first time here and had a great time. The condo is the best we have ever stayed in. Beautifully decorated and very comfortable beds. View was breathtaking. Pool, beach, and grounds were great! Only issue was check in. My Vacation Haven does not allow early check in citing they are not able to override the door code system. Owners may want to look at that. We were there for a destination wedding (which was stunning). Multiple of us from flights or driving arrived early and offered to pay partial day to get in early and wasn’t allowed. Owners are loosing out on additional money. That being said My Vacation Haven did have the condo spotless with very nice boxes of of products for bathrooms and kitchen. Definitely would come back again and recommend. Just don’t show up early!

We had another great experience staying in this condo, and we would stay there again. This was at least the fifth time we have stayed in this condo in the last few years. The 6-seater golf cart and west facing rooms are the main reason we keep coming back, but the swivel chairs in the living room are also a large part as we can enjoy the beach view from inside as well. The golf cart shut off on us several times one evening, and we reported it the next day. It was fixed right away with a new battery cable, and we had no further issues. Service was fast on that.

Great place to stay for vacation. Only had a couple of issues the last two mornings there because there was no water and had to call maintenance. The first morning it was corrected quickly but the morning we were leaving it took about an hour before it was fixed. Other than that we enjoyed our stay.

Our second trip to Westwinds. Our first trip was for the month of November, our second was 5 nights during Fall break. The Nov trip was a sparkling clean fab 2 bedroom condo with the pool heated to 80 every day. An incredible month with quiet beaches, lovely waterfall and beach sounds from your bed. Fall break trip the chairs on the beach were 3 deep and very crowded. Lines everywhere and a nice but not fabulous condo. Three bedroom units have no balconies from any bedroom and the waterfall was broken the entire time. October does have the very good grill with frozen cocktails which is closed in Nov. We’ll definitely return but a two bedroom please. A great rental experience both times.
5.0 / 5.0
This property wasn't just amazing!, It was super convenient to everything! Literally on the beach, private walkway that leads from lobby to sand by way of ramp..not stairs! Which is a must when you have Grandma's and grandbabies. Also helps with beach carts and strollers/wagons. Private wash shower on ramp before returning to condo. Will definitely be returning!!

This condo was very nice. Decor was nice and amenities great! Location was great to use the golf cart to go for dinners at Baytowne and taking morning drives. So easy with the kids.
Only suggestion for condo is to check the kitchen supplies. No hot pads and in need of some coming needs like measuring cups and measuring spoons. Maybe add to the basic utensils for cooking needs

Perfect vacation in a perfect condo!

Bumpy stay
We were given the wrong code for the gate and the front door. There were lightbulbs burned out in the shower and mildew on the tile and around the sink drains . The living room furniture was pretty stained. Access to the beach and the view were great but the condo itself needs some TLC.
5.0 / 5.0
Perfect family vacation!
I am SO glad we rented this property! Condo is gorgeous and relatively soundproof. The golf cart being included was fantastic. We had best of both worlds with easy beach access but also easy access to shops/restaurants within Sandestin via the golf cart! Highly recommend this property!
5.0 / 5.0
The condo is nice and plenty of room for three couples. The space is close to restaurants and shops!
Our family has chosen to stay in at this property multiple times. We love the location and ease of check in/out.

Spring break 2021
We have been to Destin but never Sandestin and were pleasantly surprised. Having a golf cart was a must. So easy to get around and my kids loved it. The only thing that we would have liked that wasn’t there was a restaurant on property so we didn’t have to go down the beach. Otherwise it was awesome.

Wonderful location, beautiful views
Excellent location with easy access to beach and pool(s). The view of the ocean from the balcony and condo is breathtaking. Beautiful interior and very clean- condo was bigger than expected from the pictures. One complaint was that the king sized bed in the non-master had a saggy mattress or broken support beam. Otherwise, would have been 5 stars all around. Very nice place and great get-away!

Wonderful stay!
The property is clean and beautifully landscaped. The unit has gorgeous decor, is clean and spacious. The unit is located within close proximity to the beach, but is still very private. The balcony faces the beach and offers plenty of space. Having access to a golf cart to maneuver the property was so convenient. Check-in/check-out process was simple. We will definitely return!
5.0 / 5.0
The property was absolutely perfect! Very spacious and nice.
Unfortunate we were only there for 2 days of our trip due to Hurricane Michael. We had a mandatory evacuation and had to leave. The property was absolutely beautiful and the condo was exactly like the pictures. I loved that both king rooms had their own private bathrooms and the 3rd was also a full bath. We will definitely be using our refund to book again. We plan on coming back real soon!!

I have been bringing my family here for years. Two years in a row in this same unit; love it!
Unit is great overall. The new decor is nice and the outdoor furniture was a good update. Obviously I love it - I keep coming back!! Please let me know if it comes up for sale!
Some things to consider looking into:
-Check out is too early
-Screen door needs repair
-Master mattress needs replaced
-Beach toys were few and we had to buy some more (left them for next guest)
-Boogie board was broken (bought another one and left it for next guest)
Just suggestions to make it better. Again we loved it and the kids want to come back!

This place was amazing in every way.
Our vacation was great. The unit was better then the pictures. We are a family with 4 kids and we had plenty of room and everyone loved it. The views was breathtaking. Pool and beach access was great as well. Sandestin is a amazing place with all the shops and restaurants at Baytowne which is in the community. We will be back for sure next year. I highly recommend this place to anybody
