“Your condo is gorgeous, homey and perfect for our family! We’ve stayed in Westwinds several times and this condo is definitely our favorite! The décor is gorgeous and all your upgrades make this a luxury getaway!” -Iowa City, IA

The owners spared no expense with the total renovation of this gorgeous 18th floor condo, overlooking the beautiful beach. Using fun shark-themed decor, the only thing you’ll find scary is the thought of having to leave! Westwinds is the crown jewel of beachfront vacation rentals in Sandestin.

The living room, complete with two walls of windows, boasts almost complete panoramic views of the beautiful sugary white sands and emerald green waters of the Gulf. There is a 4k Ultra HD TV including a sound bar for incredible movie-watching when relaxing at night. You’ll find a DVD collection with something for everyone. The game cabinet is stocked with your family’s favorite games and puzzles – perfect for a rainy day at the beach!

The dining area, with comfortable seating for eight, features a large concrete top table with an oyster chandelier. In addition to this, there are two stools at the kitchen counter. Adjacent to the dining area is a wine/beverage fridge, perfect for keeping all of your favorite beverages cold!

The kitchen, featuring Vetrazzo countertops with recycled glass and oyster shells, is completely outfitted for entertaining. From sea-inspired tableware and glassware to beautiful serving platters and bowls, each meal at the beach can be a special one.

All three bathrooms feature new cabinetry, new quartzite countertops, new tile and beautiful new fixtures. You’ll feel like you are staying at a five-star resort!

Each bedroom features a down comforter, with sea-inspired décor. Whether you are in the “Sunrise Room” – painted in the exact same coral color as the beautiful sunrise at the beach, the Shark-themed bunk room, or the “Sea Coral” master suite, you’ll feel right at home. The master suite also features a Bose Wave clock radio/CD player. There is a wall mounted TV in each of the bedrooms.

At Westwinds there is a lot to enjoy besides the beach. You will find one of the most luxurious pool areas (with seasonal concession/bar) and a kid's pool. A Jacuzzi is provided for adult use. There is also a well-equipped workout room overlooking the gorgeous pool.

Beyond the pool is the sugar sand beach. You may choose to rent chairs and umbrellas from the resort, or you may bring your own.

At Westwinds, you can walk to your choice of restaurants on the beach, including The Beach House and Barefoots Beach Bar and Grill at the Sandestin Hilton. There are two additional restaurants inside The Hilton, which are open for our guests as well. You can also walk to the Serenity by the Sea Spa at the Hilton.

When you stay at the Smith Shark Shack, you also get complimentary access to the shuttle that runs throughout the Sandestin Resort. So, leave the car at the condo and enjoy a night out shuttling to the fun places in Sandestin including Baytowne Wharf!

This condo is just lovely! Well furnished and very clean… Beautiful! The view from the balcony was to die for. Even though it was cold and rainy, the view of the ocean from the living room was enough to make us feel as though we were on the beach! The location was perfect. Close to everything but not crowded. I highly recommend!

View is amazing and condo is spacious!

Loved most everything about this place and definitely will return. A few updates needed… dishwasher door is loud opening and closing, refrigerator inside bottom drawers are not operational because of counter, master dresser drawers not working properly. This is not a negative post because everything can be corrected. We loved our stay in this unit and it accommodated us very well.

Paradise in a Bottle

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Over the years, this was simply the best rental unit and rental experience. This unit was perfection and the building luxurious. The decor, the cleanliness, the location, that VIEW. Plenty of space for two families to share. Every morning sitting on that balcony taking in the view was everything. Relaxing. Paradise in a bottle. Soothing for the soul. Best building and pool at SanDestin. Platinum rentals was great at communication and was a super easy rental process. I would use them and rent this exact unit over and over.

3rd Times a Charm!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: It was our 3rd time staying at the beautiful Shark Shack! The views are amazing and the water was so clear. We truly enjoy the vibe of Westwinds with a large pool, manageable beach access, and the snack bar/beverage center. The condo was clean and is designer decorated. Other than needing some chip clips (which we improvised with forks) the kitchen has everything you need to cook in. There are restaurants in close proximity which is nice. We look forward to vacationing here again!

Family fun

My wife and our 4 kids stayed here over fall break. We had a wonderful time! We have built several homes over the years and really enjoyed the decor and finishes in the condo. The view from the patio is amazing and I appreciated the outdoor furniture. The kids had lunch on the patio one day. The grounds were well kept and the pool and hot tub were very clean. Great bonus that there’s a bar and snack shop at the pool. We to several popular restaurants in Destin but one of the best nights we had was at The Beach House just 1/4 mile down the beach. Super easy to get a table and the food and service were on point.

Reviewer Comments: Great Condo-great view and updated amenities.Cable TV audio was going in and out our entire stay which was very annoying especially for the high price we paid for the rental. Water shut off and there were no instructions on how to turn it back on. We had to call two different numbers to get the property mgt co. to come and turn the water back on.

Beautiful condo with stunning views

Rating Details: The property manager was adequately helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This is our second time in this beautifully remodeled condo. Beautiful views, terrific location, very comfortable beds. Our only complaint is the management company...we couldn’t get anyone to answer when our water was off (a Friday at 4pm). Luckily, another resident helped us find and reset the HALO system. They also are stingy with dishwasher soap (one pellet for a 4 day stay), dish soap and trash bags. So make sure to bring extra with you, along with beach towels.
