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.

Great place! Stayed in a one bedroom one bath unit in Oberservation Point North. The unit was very nicely decorated, granite counter tops, small kitchen and a very nice view of the shops/resturants below from a nice sized balcony. The area has a New Orleans feel with the Famous Door and a Dueling Piano Bar just steps away. Good Food, Drink and shopping with out leaving the property. We were there Febuary 2004, the nightly rate was very good considering the location and view. Just over $100/night
