Pros:

The property was very clean and the staff was very nice. We stayed in an older building at Bayside. It definitely could use an upgrade. But we do love staying at the Sandestin beach and golf resort.

Pros:

Love the location

Cons:

The unit we stayed at had an extremely loud AC unit. It sounded like the helicopter took off and landed each time it came on and turned off. Also the code to the door did not work so we waited in the hot hallway in front of the room for awhile with all of our stuff.
