We've stayed at the Village of Baytowne Wharf twice now and
would be happy to do it again some day. These units are on
the bay side of hwy 98, so if you want a beachside room you
should probably look elsewhere. However, the Village area has
a nice New Orleans feel, lots of shops, and tons to do. Our unit
in the Pilot House (across the pool from the Market Street Inn) was well maintained and had a full kitchen (if you can resist the
restaurants in the village below). The kids enjoyed riding their
bikes and swimming in the pool and the fireworks on Tuesday night. The adults enjoyed the shops and restaurants in the village. My only complaint would be that they sometimes close the pool in the morning for cleanings. It's also a good idea to watch for snakes on the biking/walking trails.

A New Orleans style villiage with the beach breeze! It does not get any better than this! The restaurants are fabulous! They have a shuttle that even takes you to the outlet malls. We had a WONDERFUL experience!

Our family of six (kids 10, 12, 15, 17) stayed in a 2 bedroom unit at the Market Street Inn for Spring Break and could not have been more pleased! Our lovely corner unit with a wrap-around balcony overlooked a huge pool, hot tubs, barbecues, and a lovely lawn (perfect for pick-up soccer matches). The older kids loved strolling through the village , the younger ones fished night and day, and I never had to get in my car once! Gorgeous beach a quick bike-ride away(there's a tunnel that takes you underneath hiway 98), great food, and activities for everyone. Can't wait to return!

We visited Sandestin in August. The weather was poor but the facility was great. It was a destination not just a place to sleep. We there are many different condos and villas to choose from but we stayed at Observation Point at the Baytowne Wharf. It had everything you could possibly want to make your stay enjoyable. The pool was very nice, two hot tubs, an outside fireplace for cool nights; nice barbeque pits, though just two of them they weren't used very much and appeared to be cleaned every day. Food and entertainment are truly just steps away from the front door, but once in your room with the doors closed, surprisingly quiet. The tram system is very convenient and prompt which makes the fact that you're staying at a property that is not beach front seem unimportant. If your like landscaping and attention to detail, you'll love it at Observation Point.
