Place was great. Only complaint I had was the balcony was under construction and therefore not usable. In my opinion this issue should have been more prevalent in the listing. I did not read every description and missed the ⭐️⭐️ disclosure under the bathroom section. Otherwise the place was exactly as the pictures showed.

Had such a wonderful time at Deja Blue in Luau Tower 1 at Sandestin Golf and Beach Resort. Great pool with a little waterfall, kiddie pool, hot tub and snack shack (offered food and drinks). Very quick and easy walk to beach with plenty of showers to rinse off sand; stands that sold food, drinks, beach chair service, and beach necessities; close bathrooms; lifeguards; and restaurants. Beach was very busy but it didn’t keep us from having a great time. From the condo we easily walked to the tram stop, mini golf and ice cream. The trams were very easy to use and the kids loved riding and exploring the resort. We brought in groceries from Publix grocery store (about 1 mile away); had pizza delivered and got great takeout from PF Changs. We visited a couple restaurants at the resort and they were all great (little pricey). For last minute items we used the tram to go to the onsite market. Condo was very clean and comfortable. We all loved the views!!

Our stay at the Luau was wonderful. The property looked exactly as pictured. It was clean and well equipped for our stay. The property was easy to find and check-in was very simple. The kitchen had plenty of cooking utensils but the only thing that I might suggest is adding pizza cutter. The views from the apartment are breathtaking and the beach is just a short walk away. The property is located in a very nice gated community and we felt very comfortable during our stay. I would definitely stay here again! Thanks for a great time!

This is a beautiful condo. The decor is amazing yet it is still comfortable. There is a large area with seating to enjoy the outdoor patio/balcony and there is ample seating at the table or bartop for dinner. The master suite is beautiful with an ocean view as well. Two of the three rooms have a private in-room bathroom & the third bedroom has the bathroom right across the hall from it. It is a corner unit and has only one floor above it. The beds were very soft & comfortable and the host was very attentive. Very elegant & stylish unit and would definitely return.

My husband and I just spent 6 weeks at this beautiful penthouse. We wanted to escape the Chicago winter. This was our first time visiting Sandestin. From the minute that we entered this immaculate penthouse, we were in awe at the views that go on forever and the beauty of this home. Loved waking up each morning to the beautiful sunrises to start our day. Loved the coffee bar! The beds are so comfortable and we always had a good nights sleep. The pictures do not do this home justice. Beautifully decorated with high-end appliances. The 3 bedrooms all have king size beds with their own bathroom. All rooms have views that are incredible. This penthouse is a true GEM! The walk to the beach is easy. A beautiful beach with emerald water. My husband was able to fish right off the beach. We met a group of people that the husbands loved to fish too. We were able to have a couple of fish fry’s with our new friends. The fish was delicious. Everyone was so friendly! We even saw dolphins and stingrays. The market shops are also not too far to walk. Parlor Donuts is a must, very yummy! We walked to Baytowne Wharf many times. There are many cute shops and restaurants. You can use the tram passes, but we preferred to walk. Grand Boulevard is the center of the resort with many shops and restaurants too. We also hiked the state parks nearby. Very easy to hike and they also had very clean restrooms too! We had a wonder trip, and look forward to visiting again. 💗

The listing matched what you will see in person. Plenty of room for the 5 of us to spread out. Walk to the beach was quick and easy and in warmer temperatures the pool area would be wonderful to hang out in. Will definitely be visiting again in the future. The only recommendation would be to put a little binder together of area attractions, restaurants (including favorite spots for various occasions), etc. In our travels around the country I have become spoiled with hosts having this available for their guests. Another idea would be to put a guest book/journal in the front hallway table to let guests right their favorite memories of their stay with you all. Not only would guests enjoy reading other's comments, but I would think it could bring joy to you as well over the years. These last 2 are just suggestions..... I will repeat, the condo is beautiful, Ami was a great hostess and we will be back!

Thank you so much, Shaunna, for this great review! Your recommendation on the guest book is spot on. I have them in our other condos and I love to read every entry. This is the only condo I hadn’t got to put a guest book in. I do send out the restaurant recommendations via email, but you are right that most guest will put their favorite restaurants in the guest book which I have have even gotten some good food recommendations from. Growing up there was always a guest book in every house we stayed in and I would love reading through them as a kid, so it was the first thing I bought in the other condos. I will for sure get a guest book in Deja Blue next time we are down. It was great talking with you and I hope to have you back soon! Ami🌴
