Great stay overall. No major issues. I m not loving the fact that people can smoke cigarettes and cigars on balconies. Too much drift and limits opening the large patio doors. I d address that issue.

Great Stay. Property was clean, convenient. Pool area was great.

I thoroughly appreciated how clean and comfortable this unit was since it rained the entire time I was in Florida and I spent a lot of time in my room.
The unit smelled AMAZING and had everything I needed.
I also enjoyed the sounds of the tree frogs from the garden below.
This unit is in a beautiful area with quite a bit to see/do. Lots of nature, shopping, and restaurants close by.

Amazing stay and was conveniently located near the pool and right by the shops at Baytowne Dwarf. We loved the coastal decor and how cozy we felt. The king mattress is one of the most comfortable beds we’ve ever slept in. Easy check in and had everything we needed for our stay. We will be back!

I liked it was in the center of a lot of activities and action but quiet and peaceful when we went to bed. The construction

- Posted: 3/31/2024

Great Place to stay. Convenient and close to beaches,shopping, eating courts. Unsure if golf cart was included in cost. We used our vehicle instead to get to beach.Bed was very cozy liked updated appliances. Color Decor very calm colors and cozy. We will definitely used RealJoy again.

We really enjoyed our stay. Everything was just as the pictures portrayed. Very clean and comfortable. Great location.

- Posted: 9/4/2023

Location Location is definitely what we enjoyed. Even thought the beach was not as closed as we wanted to, there is definitely a lot other options available without having to drive anywhere. From live band, good restaurants, and good shopping, there is really nothing to complain about. You can either stay in and relax at the pool with a beautiful view of the garden or explore!

Real Joy staff

Once you park your car there is no need to get back in until you leave. Everything you need is on premises (except a really good sauté pan so bring one if you will need one). The kids loved the activities and not once did I have to hear “I’m bored”. The tram takes you straight to the beach and we met lots of nice families from all over. Already planning our return this summer. -Sarah-

Hi! We appreciate you letting us know that your family enjoyed the wonderful location of this one-bed, one-bath condo in Sandestin Golf and Beach Resort. Thank you for choosing RealJoy. Please visit again soon.

Real Joy staff

Looks just like it does in the pictures. Extremely clean! Nicely decorated, beautiful balcony view, great location, lovely pool area, and scenic grounds. Bed was comfortable but very tall ( approximately 31 inches in height) Might be a challenge to get in and out of for individuals with limited mobility and height. Note…to get to pool area go to center of building—3rd floor. Loved our stay!! Plan to rent again.

- Posted: 3/3/2023

Tom, Thank you for taking the time to leave us a 5-star review! We are thrilled to hear that you enjoyed your stay and that it looked just like it does in the pictures.

Real Joy staff

loved the location, amenities, unit layout, and all the accommodations provided. based on a previous review about the dirty floors, I packed extra socks to where around the unit. It was needed. The floors really would turn our feet black. I would wash my son’s feet before putting his shoes on and leaving. Other than that, everything was fantastic.

- Posted: 11/27/2022

506 Pilot House was perfect for our week-long getaway. It was very bright and pretty, with great balcony space too. The location in the wharf was perfect for evening strolls or entertainment. It was a quick drive to the beach. We utilized the closest pool until we found the heated one and then used that. The kitchen was fully stocked for a vacation trip. The unit was very clean except for the floors. We had to wear slippers or shoes or else our feet / socks were blackened instantly. Other than that, it was extremely clean. There was no assigned parking (no spots in the garage are numbered even though the check-in portal said there was a spot), but parking was always available so it didn’t matter. The lobby code hadn’t been updated in the portal either but an owner helped us out. All other information in the portal was accurate. The Sandestin app / website is functional but doesn’t give a whole lot of detailed information about things to do or how to access areas. Most of the restaurants we ate at (almost all off property) were from word-of-mouth of other guests / owners. The wharf area turned out to be the best for our week since we enjoy nightlife and didn’t mind the quick drive to the beach. We would definitely consider staying here again if we returned to the area. We really enjoyed our stay.

William, Thank you for the 5-star review. We are glad that the location was convenient and that you enjoyed your vacation. If you had let us know during your stay that the floors were not as clean as they should have been, we would have sent a new cleaner out to redo the floors. We hope you enjoyed some time on our beautiful beaches and had a safe trip home. Thank you for choosing RealJoy.

Pros: Extremely easy check-in process, very close to restaurants, staff was friendly, entire area was clean. Cons: Getting to beach took a little while, beach was PACKED, pool was crowded (but that's Destin). Overall very nice area.

This is the best location to be in Destin, we had private parking and did not have to use our vehicle at all. shops, restaurants, marina and tram where all within walking distance, definetaly will book here again!

- Posted: 7/18/2022

Jessica, We're so glad that you enjoyed the best location to be in Destin, where everything was in walking distance. We look forward to seeing you next time. Thank you for choosing RealJoy.

Real Joy staff

Great location walking distance to Baytown warf . Great for children and for parents to relax and have a great time as well. Restaurants at Baytown warf were not the best . If you are going to eat out there you need to get there early .There is no trolley to the beach but beautiful state parks 10 to 20 minutes away. Suggest Anderson state park.

Amy, We appreciate the 5 star review of your stay at Pilot House. We're glad the location was great and we thank you for choosing RealJoy.

This was our second time staying at this property, and it is PERFECT for two! We just needed a space at the beach for our Babymoon, and it was perfect. We loved having easy access to so many restaurants, shopping, and the beach right across the street.

Devin, we appreciate you letting us know that this well-located one-bedroom condo in Sandestin Golf and Beach Resort was perfect for your babymoon. Thank you for choosing RealJoy. Congratulations!

Real Joy staff

Very cute condo! Perfect for family of 5.
Our 9 & 4 year old slept on the sofa bed and the baby slept with us and the baby slept with us.
The beach is right across the street and lots of food places Near the resort.
I would avoid eating at the Broken Egg within the resort during Spring Break, super high volume and long wait.

- Posted: 3/18/2022

The unit is lovely. It was just as described in the listing. The photos are accurate and up to date. We had excellent communication with Robyn. The golf cart was perfect too. I highly recommend it. The only negative is the beach frontage. It would have been better if more space was available. The beach was packed. Overall, we would absolutely stay here again. The unit, complex, restaurants, entertainment, pool, and facilities make up for the lack of beach space. Thanks, Robyn, for providing a great property.

- Posted: 11/18/2021

We took our little family vacation here and it exceeded all expectations. Our family enjoyed this space, location and access of golf cart so much. We already started planning our next trip back!

- Posted: 11/18/2021

Easy check-in and fast, thorough communication from owner. Clean, well stocked and comfy furniture. Bed was very comfortable and kitchen and bathroom were both well stocked. Washer-dryer in unit is a plus and the golf cart was great to have. Parking for this building is easy and convenient too. No complaints at all!

- Posted: 11/10/2021

We stayed here on our honeymoon . Perfect location and Robyn was great .

- Posted: 10/25/2021

We have rented 5x from Beachside II Condos (on the beach) because its the most convenient with two toddlers and we have always enjoyed our stay. We decided to rent elsewhere this time because Beachside II started to feel older and dirtier. We took a chance with Robyn's condo due to the 100% reviews and the pictures/golf cart. We were not disappointed. I'm extremely clean and germophobic. I felt very comfortable and at home. Not once did I miss being on the beach. My boys loved riding in the golf cart to the beach. It was better than being steps away from the beach. I had to communicate with Robyn a lot before/during our stay, and she was always quick to respond. She was more than kind to accommodate when we needed a special request. It was a vacation experience that exceeded our expectations.

Store easy to work with. Good communication.

This property was great for us as a family of 5. My husband and I stayed here with our 3 young girls aged 7,4,&2. *When we first arrived to the area we easily found our parking garage and condo by the directions given. *We found our room and our code worked perfect. *The condo was clean and just as pictured. *We did have a hard time locating a luggage cart to bring our items up as we had several for a family of 5 and this unit is on the 5th floor. *The pull out couch did have some sand all over the top of it when we removed the cushions, but we are at the beach! We cleaned it and the girls said the bed was comfortable and were able to sleep on it all week. *The king bed was clean and very comfortable. *having a washer and dryer in unit was a blessing! *kitchen was fully equipped and had wonderful new appliances. *Bathroom was spacious and nice. Our downfalls were that the tub floor was very slick, shower head has low water pressure which can make washing 4 heads of long hair harder, and the tub often held water when showering. *the golf cart rental with this unit is a must and was wonderful to cruise the area on. The luggage rack was a blessing with hauling any extra items. *Our biggest issues were the crowds. We came during a peak time and the crowds on the beach were insane. The Sandestin resort sets up SO MANY chair rentals and I never once saw them all used. You don't have much beach space at all. *Also if you left in your vehicle and came back after 8:30pm it takes FOREVER to find parking in the parking garage. On Thursday night we drove around the garage for 34minutes waiting for a spot to open up. Overall this unit was great!! It was mainly the resort/village this time of year being insanely crowded!! We would definitely rent this unit again...but during a slow period.

- Posted: 8/8/2021

The condo is exactly like pictured and clean. Robyn was so great to communicate with and very helpful in several ways. This will be my new place to stay. This was our first time here and we loved the location, restaurants, and shops. Slick Lips was our favorite. (Great food and great service) We included the golf cart, and the beach access was perfect!

- Posted: 7/29/2021

This was my first time to ever visit Florida, and staying in the Pilot House was perfect! It is located within walking distance to the Village of Baytowne Wharf where there is so much to do and see for all ages. We were able to go down the road a bit and visit the Destin area as well. We also met a nice gentleman on the elevator on our first night who told us about a state park where the beach is not as crowded. I totally recommend visiting Topsail Hill Preserve State Park. I'd like to say thank you to Robyn for being such a wonderful host. The condo was beautifully decorated and was very relaxing. The bed was extremely comfortable! And also, get the golf cart! You won't regret it!

- Posted: 7/25/2021

Fantastic time with excellent support and accommodations!

- Posted: 6/29/2021

Perfect location for the kids to access the village and the golf cart makes getting to and from the beach a breeze. All instructions for access to the garage, condo and golf cart were clear and communication with the owner was fast and helpful. Clean, perfect size, quiet, and great location to everything!

- Posted: 6/29/2021

Very comfortable and clean. Close to everything we wanted to do, but yet we could get away from the crowds. It was like sleeping in the trees.

- Posted: 6/28/2021

My family of four stayed here and it was wonderful! There were plenty of places to enjoy right near the condo! The golf cart was nice to have to ride around Baytowne! We only got in the car to travel to Harbor Docks in Destin since it’s a favorite of ours, but otherwise we didn’t have to get in the car all weekend!

- Posted: 6/9/2021

Loved our stay here.

- Posted: 5/31/2021

Had a great anniversary weekend. The condo is lovely and very clean. Nice getaway weekend. Baytown Wharf is steps away!

- Posted: 5/13/2021

Loved the house and golf cart for easy beach and grocery store access. Convenient location next to restaurants and shops at the boardwalk. Can’t wait to come back!

- Posted: 4/26/2021

Was great. Will stay there again.

- Posted: 4/21/2021

My twins (9) and I had such a great time! It was so nice getting away and awesome that we were right in the heart of everything! No stress about driving the traffic and awesome to have the golf cart when we wanted to hit the beach. Would definitely stay again ... best VRBO I've done so far!

- Posted: 4/3/2021

It is literally right by everything in Baytown Wharf! Beautiful place! We would definitely stay here again!

- Posted: 3/16/2021

This is an amazing condo! Everything was clean and very nice. We loved the entire community. Robyn was wonderful to work with.

- Posted: 1/2/2021

Baytown is a great neighborhood with everything. The condo is perfectly located, very clean and great comfortable beds. Having access to the golf cart was nice so we could ride around and look at the Christmas lights. Also road over to the beach to watch the sunset. Robyn is a great holiday and made sure we had everything we needed. 10/10 will stay again.

- Posted: 12/20/2020

This was a great place to stay and was very clean which is the most important thing for us. Robyn was great to deal with.

- Posted: 12/1/2020

This property was clean and well-stocked, and the property manager was a pleasure to communicate with. A very quiet location close to restaurants, pool, & activities. Golf cart was a perfect way to get around!

- Posted: 12/1/2020

We had a fabulous time! The instructions provided were spot-on, we had no issues parking, finding the condo, or the golf cart. DEFINITELY pay the additional rental fee for the golf cart -- it opens up a whole new world of fun at Baytowne. The condo is conveniently located in the town square. We will be back!

- Posted: 10/22/2020

Pretty, peaceful, beautiful pool and grounds, good location, can walk to Village restaurants and shops. Owner very nice and helpful!!

- Posted: 10/11/2020

This was the cutest well maintained condo! My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay! Super convenient to so many things and renting the golf cart was a plus!! Robyn was so easy to work with and quick to respond to any questions. Would definitely rent again!

- Posted: 10/2/2020

From the moment we walked in, it felt like home. So clean and safe! Had everything we needed and was close to everything. We drove to the beach everyday but the tram service is great too. We would love to come back to this place. The village just below the room was so fun!

- Posted: 10/1/2020

My husband and my 2 children(age 5 and 9) enjoyed our time at Pilot House 506. The condo was clean, beautifully decorated, and everything was as pictured. It was nice to be able to take a few steps and be at the village enjoying all the fun activities! We rented the golf cart for our stay which was a huge plus because we never had to get in the car again after we arrived. It was so convenient to take to the grocery store and beach. Robyn was great to work with! We will definitely be back again!

- Posted: 9/16/2020

The cleaning of this condo was impeccable. Well stocked with extra pillows, blankets, towels, laundry soap, and kitchen equipment essentials. The pull out couch was comfortable enough. The master bed was quit hard but I am a soft bed sort of person. The porch is nice with four chairs. Overall a relaxing and comfortable place for our family! Great location with proximity to Baytown, pool, and beach shuttle. I marked check-in process as four stars only because SanDestin requires access codes for multiple areas and these codes were not consolidated in one place in my email. So they got buried in my inbox. Our host was easy to contact and she helped me with finding our door code. Thanks for a nice stay!

- Posted: 8/20/2020

Me and my husband and two kids (2 & 3 yr old) enjoyed our stay here. It was a perfect location in the village and we did the golf cart rental for the week, which was wonderful getting around so easily and back and forth to the beach. The owner was helpful and very responsive during the whole process of booking/staying. We will definitely be back in the future!

- Posted: 8/10/2020

My family and I really enjoyed our stay here. The condo is beautifully decorated, super clean and the location is perfect-a 2 minute walk to the pool and an elevator ride away from all the fun of Baytowne Wharf. The owner was very helpful and quickly responded to any questions we had prior to our stay. I highly recommend staying in Pilot House 506! We are looking forward to staying here again.

- Posted: 8/2/2020

Our hostess was very accommodating and responsive to all communications. We appreciated the entire experience. Location, well stocked condo, facilities, nothing negative to say. Saving this property for a future stay and would highly recommend!

We loved the property! Lots to do just in walking distance. Really enjoyed the warf at night for walking around and dining.
