Great for our family!

Super comfortable place - owners even got us an extra twin bed to help with sleeping arrangements. King bed was pretty firm which we weren’t used to but nothing bad. Lots of extras and great night life location too. Lots to do at Baytowne Wharf. We never once ran into any problems finding parking spots.

We had a great time, can't beat that location. Condo was very clean and kids love all the snacks. I would definitely come back again and recommend it to anyone. Trolleys run very often, so it's easy to get to the beach.

Very convenient location. Lots to do with kids at Baytowne Wharf. Condo is clean and well maintained. Parking can be difficult if a busy time, so don’t plan to leave parking deck to drive somewhere for dinner unless you don’t mind walking back from overflow parking.

Amazing condo - excellent location

We have stayed in various condos at Sandestin Golf and Beach. This one will be at the top of our list. The set up and the decor was amazing. The host couple added so many nice touches throughout. The pictures posted does not do it justice. Balcony view was perfection.

Great Location

We arrived on Saturday. The check in and directions were spot on. To our luck, there was a annual Beer Fest that night. Baytowne Wharf has great nightlife. We would sit outside at night on the balcony and listen to the dueling pianos at Rum Runners. The unit had every thing you could need.

Home away from home.

We love this comfy condo. This was our second summer here. It is so convenient and we love being in Baytown Wharf. We walked to the Solaris Dinner Cruise and enjoyed the fireworks and outdoor movie from the balcony! We cooked most of our meals and the kitchen was great. Thanks so much!

Communication with the owners was exceptional and they even left us a nice snack basket to enjoy. Will definitely stay here again!

Stay

Our stay was very relaxing with great accommodations, only issue we had was parking, could not park in parking garage due to others giving out parking codes to other rooms, so 3 out of 5 nights we had to park in the over flow parking.

Great condo in the perfect location

This was the perfect property for our family. We had two teens and two adults. One teen had the children’s room while the other took the sleeper sofa. Everything was very clean and looks like it had recently been remodeled. No complaints whatsoever. We would definitely stay here again. It was close to all the shops and dining and a short drive to the beach. Thank you so much for the excellent accommodations!!!

Sleep deprived

Overall we were a little disappointed with our stay. The master bedroom and bathroom doors do not lock, which I thought was standard for an occasional moment of privacy. We were excited to be staying in a condo with such a great view of Baytowne village and choose this condo based off of the view and reviews that the condo was pretty much soundproof when inside. It is not soundproof at all (due to the window in the master bedroom) and the music and passerby noise doesn't stop until well after midnight. The master bedroom also adjoins the community laundry room and people were doing laundry until 2 am some nights. The noise and vibration of the machines comes directly through the master bedroom closet, at one point it was vibrating all the hangers and ironing board in the closet. Other than these issues, the owners were friendly with good communication, and it was a very clean condo.

Very nice clean condo. The owners go out of their way to make you feel welcome. The snacks and water was much appreciated. My mother and I had my fathers memorial at Hurlbert AFB and the owners a actually left flowers and a card. The fireworks from the balcony nice. It was great after the memorial not to have to drive anyplace for food all there. The pool and gym on 3rd floor wAs great. Go have a good time you will love the condo. Hope to come one day when not so sad and stressed with the memorial

Relaxing stay in the Village of Baytown

This was a great cozy condo with an awesome view from the balcony. We were able to watch movies shown on the lawn and listen to music every evening. It's the perfect condo if you love to people watch. Parking was convenient and the condo had everything we needed for our stay. We hope to go back again!

Perfect location in Baytown

The condo was very clean when we entered. The owners did a good job thinking of all the small details. They had snacks on the bar and waters in the fridge. They had some board games as well as cards, which entertained our family at night. The condo is small, but it had everything we needed for our stay. Our two younger children were able to share the little twin bed (and that room had a closet) and my oldest slept on the couch. This condo is right by the entertainment at Baytown. The first night we were able to watch the movie from our patio and another night we enjoyed the dance party and had the best view of the fireworks. My husband and son enjoyed golfing in San Destin and the kids liked the pool (it’s just a little walk from the condo). We never rode the tram, but it seemed easy enough to use it to get to the beach side if needed. If we were to stay in San Destin again, we would absolutely consider staying here again!!

Amazing view of Baytowne!

We had such a wonderful week staying in this unit! We love Baytowne and the view of the fireworks from this unit was spectacular! The extra, small bedroom was perfect for my teenager. The snacks were a nice touch and I appreciated the extra supplies in the kitchen and laundry room. I would 100% recommend this place to anyone looking for a place to stay in Baytowne. I hope to be back next summer!

About the host

Hosted by Richard and Sonya Norris

Host profile image
We are a husband and wife who both grew up in Georgia. We always loved going to Florida for vacation as kids with our parents. Having lost both sets of parents and us both being cancer survivors, now the memories and family time are even more precious. Family is so very important to us. We have one son and daughter in law and are patiently awaiting grandchildren! Our business March Ninth Properties in entirely family owned and operated. We are so blessed and so thankful to God for this opportunity.

Why they chose this property

We were married in 2002 and went on our honeymoon to the Sandestin Golf and Beach Resort. We loved it!! Fast forward to 2021 and we were blessed to be able to purchase our condo inside the Sandestin Golf and Beach Resort! Plus it was built the month and year we were married. It was meant to be and we are thankful for such a blessing. Our condo home is everything we could have ever wanted but never thought we would be able to have. We hope you love it as much as we do.

What makes this property unique

We love the location of our condo. The private balcony overlooks all of the action! You can watch the fireworks, movies, sunsets, listen to bands, enjoy the breeze or just people watch without ever having to leave the condo if you do not want to. But if you do want to get out and about, everything is right at your doorstep.
