  Christi S from Hastings, MI recommends this vacation rental

  We all had an awesome time! We had plenty of room and were so close to everything. Adults and kids enjoyed it immensely. Though I might add it would have been nice to know there was a step stool under the big bed upstairs. Getting on that big bed is a doozy. Dealing with the shortness of breath, lack of energy dizziness, Ben kind of point it basically saying it’s low blood blood blood blood. They’re in the normal range but I’m not getting transfusion suggesting that maybe something else might be going on. They did a they did an EKG back in January and they also did a chest x-ray but everything looked OK on their side, but they did an echocardiogram.

  We had a great time with a group of 10 women! Sleeping arrangements, seating, bathrooms, everything - we had plenty of room to spread out and enjoy ourselves! The decor was incredible and it totally exceeded our expectations. Our group was amazed! The location was also perfect! Quiet but close to everything on the resort.

  a guest from Germantown, TN recommends this vacation rental

  This was a booking we did when the available rentals were hard to come by. Have Travel Memories was very kind and owner accommodated a request. I like to do pros and cons so...
  Pros:
  -Affordable option with tons of sleeping space
  -Updated interior
  -Super comfy master bed (slept like a baby)
  -Proximity to beach (closer than a lot of Sandestin properties that are on the north side of 98)
  -Golf cart use (see below)
  -Quiet area
  -Use and convenience of all Sandestin
  -Kitchen items: blender, pots, pans, etc
  -Private patio and balcony
  
  Cons:
  -Breaker tripped when using microwave for 1 1/2 minutes
  -Golf cart age (seat belts are rusted and steering linkage/rod rattles) but it got us around with no breakdowns
  -Maybe not kid friendly unit (I wouldn’t be comfortable with a small child because of railing spacing and lack of rails on stairs)
  -One room with 3 beds has no A/C vent - we didn’t use that one but it seems like it could get a little warm BUT A/C works VERY good
  -Bike had tape of seat
  -Beach items stored outside under shed-like thing. Didn’t try to use simply because I didn’t want to reach into the space 🤪
  
  Overall, we did love this stay and they have done a nice job of updating the interior. Just a few things could make it a spectacular Sandestin rental. #1 on my list would be electrical checks and #2 would be a new or newer golf cart.
  
  Thank you

  Property condition:

  a guest from Jacksonville, AL does not recommend this vacation rental.

  We have been staying at the Sandestin Resort every year except for 2020 for over 20 years. This property was a real disappointment. The dryer did not work and there was not an icemaker. Both items the management team were aware of and did not notify us before we arrived. When we brought it to the management team's attention they did come out quickly but they were unable to fix the dryer and told us the icemaker was ordered. One more fun thing is you have to endure a 30 minute lecture on the mechanics of the golf cart. All in all we will not stay in this property again, the rooms are small and the laundry room layout is ridiculous. You cannot move laundry from the washer to the dryer due to the laundry room doors are not appropriate for the space. The location is nice and quiet and the pool area is nice with a good amount of shade/sun ratio.

  Susan R from Franklin, TN recommends this vacation rental

  Our vacation at the residence at 418 Linkside drive was November 23-29 was relaxing and fun. The facility offered all the amenities needed for all aspects of our stay. it was clean, comfortable, well stocked and beautifully decorated. We only had one problem with one of the televisions and it was taken care of right away with no further problems. Kitchen was well stocked with necessary eating and cooking utensils. There was ample storage in refrigerator and freezer for items to be stored. So nice to have a washer and dryer for laundry. We had easy access to the beach with the rental of a six passenger golf cart. There was trash pick up every day. There was ample comfortable furniture for sitting to watch TV or just relaxing and visiting.. We will definitely rent this place again when we return to the area.

  This house was beautiful. Me, my husband and our married with toddlers children, all enjoy our stay immensely. I loved the decor, the privacy of the backyard, and most important the cleanliness. If I had to have a downfall it would be the master shower floor, very slippery and the golf cart had no pick up and go. Over all, we loved it ❤️
