Lots to do

This is a great location with lots to do. We have two teenagers that traveled with us, and they were very safe walking around the shops and restaurants and out to the pier by themselves. I highly recommend this for families with kids of all ages.

Adorable, family oriented and great beds!!

From the moment we walked in, we felt at home! We didn't need to bring anything, they had everything you needed! We will be back next year!

Heavenly

We are yearly visitors to Sandestin and have stayed in a variety of different accomodations. This unit was just perfect for us, very modern furnishings, nice patio area, quiet, private, patio faces the bay. The pool is by far the best in the area. Convenient to the village.

Great Vacation, Beautiful Setting

Rating Details: The property manager was adequately helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Ideal location for family with young children. It was so fun to walk out the door and be minutes away from all the village activity. Condo was beautifully furnished and decorated with a very comfortable layout. We really enjoyed the large dining table for family gatherings. I would recommend to friends and family.

Updated, Spacious and convenient condo

Property was super clean, updated and spacious. They had lots of amenities to use if you like to cook. Pool was great. Building has an ice machine. Baytowne Wharf was very walkable. Short drive to the beach or tram option. You pay $10 to use the garage all week. Only complaint was we did not find any grills on the property which was listed and check in wasn't until 5 pm which is the latest check in I've ever experienced traveling. Overall, good stay.

Bahia

Overall our stay and experience was great. The first slight issue was check in because the Bahia building didn’t have a check in desk like the other hotels/condo buildings did. We originally went in to another building close to Bahia in error and the lady kindly directed us to where we were supposed to be but there was no formal desk or anyone at the resort to really direct us as far as our actual condo building goes. The guard shack - or whoever was supposed to give us our guest pass to put in our window while we were at the resort - did not do so until day 3 so the entry into the resort took a while each time prior to that being h does correctly. Other than those two

Nice place doubt we’ll come back

The unit was very nicely decorated and equipped. However the internet was not clearly marked how to log on so we had to use our own until Thursday. The dryer gets warm but does not dry clothes. The coffee maker makes coffee but it takes about 15-20 minutes for a pot to brew. The bed was comfortable after we turned the mattress. The first couple nights it felt like our feet were higher than our heads which we confirmed when we flipped the bottom to the top. Things got better from there. We thought we qualified for the free 4 hour bikes and one hour kayaks and paddle boards, which was a major reason why we booked here. But we found out later we needed to book directly with the property to qualify for those. The shuttles were great. Ran actually more than advertised and all the drivers were very nice and informative. Normally we stay at a beach facing unit and we missed that convenience of walking out on the beach. However the pool at Bahia was very nice. I would suggest a bit more communication before the trip. With past VRBO bookings I knew exactly how things worked before I left my house. The day before we left we still didn’t know where to check in (and never actually did in person) but was told on the way down we should have received an email with all the details from another address. That would have been good to know so i would have looked for it. So that had to be resent. There was no one in the main building when we arrived so we didn’t know how to get to our unit. Other guest helped us find it. Still don’t know where to check in like we would normally do but we managed to figure out all the codes and how things work. It’s a beautiful resort and looks like more nice building are being added but I don’t think this is for us. The beach set up was not great. We paid for chairs on the beach and over the course of the week we never made it to the front row, even with a nice tip. I don’t understand how people can bring their own chairs and umbrellas and set up right In front of your paid place. Never seen that before down here. The set ups went 6 rows deep. Crazy packed on top of each other especially when Florida is all the rage as the corona hot spot for the nation. I think this resort is great if you want to stay on property all the time and don’t mind a very crowded beach. We drove over to Okaloosa Island one day to find a less crowded spot where we could actually sit and see the ocean and not a group of umbrellas. We were so excited

Family Escape

We were just getting away for my grandson’s first time to the beach and thought we’d change things up and not stay directly on the beach. The area was great and we would’ve really have loved to have used the outside eating area if it wasn’t so hot and humid, but that’s just the time if the year we chose to go, unfortunately. While we loved being at the end of the hallway, the only drawback to this unit was how loud the AC is. Other than that and the batteries needing to be changed in the TV remotes, we had a great time. Restaurants, entertainment, and the pool were easily accessible and loved that there place was not crowded, even in the peak of the season. It was a very restful vacation where leisure was our top priority.

Ground Floor Gem

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This condo was the perfect headquarters for our family vacation! The unit was absolutely beautiful and looked exactly like the photos we fell in love with on VRBO. The convenience started right away with a seamless hospitality app and continued with a well-stocked kitchen and the fantastic bonus of beach chairs and an umbrella ready for us to use.The location in Baytowne Wharf is unbeatable for families, offering a safe and exciting environment for our teens to explore on their own while we enjoyed our own downtime. Even the compact parking spot in the garage was a small trade-off for the incredible convenience and fun of the village. We had a wonderful time and are already looking forward to our next stay!

We had some concerns during our stay. The property management company did an outstanding job of addressing the concerns and made it right.

great location and unit!

Conveniently located in Sandestin with easy access to Baytowne Wharf. Check in was seamless and plenty of space for our family of 5. Bahia is close to the pool and Grand Sandestin amenities. The end unit was very quiet and private. Great vacation!

Just Perfect!

This property is just perfect! We really loved the two bedroom layout since we were sharing it with another couple for a long weekend. We also loved how it was on the end with a private deck and plenty of room. We’ve stayed in this area before and also enjoy higher rooms for a water view, but we really liked the privacy and ability to be steps from the hustle and bustle when we wanted it and back in our quiet room/deck when we didn’t.

Great location, good trip

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The rental unit is good for one couple, a little crowded for two couples. The beds in the second bedroom are really bad. We had to buy an air mattress to be able to sleep. Overall we had a good experience, but the beds were well worn.

Good unit / bad procedures

In general this unit is as-described. It’s spacious, the kitchen is well-appointed and it’s comfortable. Overall our stay over the Christmas holiday was very pleasant. There are a few things that future guests should be aware of: 1. The height of the tubs/shower are very high. They were toe-hazards and on more than one occasion hurt our toes on these. This is likely the case with the entire building but something worth mentioning. 2. No salt/pepper provided. Basics like this would be appreciated. It wasn’t a big deal but something we were surprised not to see 3. Toilet paper supply was low. There wasn’t enough supply for our 5 day stay- perhaps have ample backups under cabinets etc. The above were minor concerns but we did have one MAJOR issue with the stay and that is that on day of checkout, we got locked out of the room early. I had to call the “contact us” number as the actual checkout number point of contact didn’t work, and someone who answered the phone couldn’t communicate properly. This made it even more difficult to check out at 10am, which also is too early. The early checkout, combined with the cleaning expected of guests, combined with the fact that we got locked out early are reasons why we won’t consider renting or recommending this particular stay. The unit is fine, but the service around it has some major breaking points. I’m going to follow up in a separate complaint about getting locked out early as I believe we are due a refund for that time.
