Reviewer Comments:
The house was roomy and had everything we needed. We really enjoyed the back porch and golf cart. The only complaint we had was that the upstairs stayed very hot as it does not have its own unit/thermostat. They did have extra fans up there but it was still significantly warmer than the downstairs.
This was a great location and property had all the appliances, beach things and comforting things (like plenty of pillows and blankets which was a big hit for our group :) We did find little sugar ants on the kitchen counter but it wasn’t horrible and then there was a few things left or uncleaned from the previous visit but we just cleaned it ourselves before using (mainly bowls, cups and plates in the cupboard). Overall we had a great stay and will be back to Sandestin!
We enjoyed our stay on this property. It is located in a rental neighborhood that is quiet with quick access to local amenities by golf cart. The houses are pretty close together, but they are set where it feels very private. From the back porch we could see the fireworks from the Baytowne boardwalk. The house was very comfortable with two downstairs masters. The upstairs room is nice, but the bunks are in a closet area - probably best for little kids, a little tight for teens. The bathrooms were a nice size, beds were comfortable, air conditioning kept the house cool, water pressure in the showers was fantastic. The house has everything you need. The only issue we had was the upstairs power turning off in the night 2x (breaker issue), but the company was sending someone to check it.
We didn’t receive much info about the amenities of the neighborhood (a book or local map would be helpful), so that took a little exploring. By golf cart you can access the pool, gym, tennis courts, golfing (of course), boardwalk, another higher end shopping/eating area, and even go through the tunnel to park and access the beach. The area is beautiful with large trees and immaculate landscaping. We will definitely go back.

Reviewer Comments:
I rented this house in Feb/Mar of this year. It was a beautifully kept home. It must have seen a busy summer full of renters. I noticed several things that needed fixing, replacing or just cleaning. The master bed mattress really needs to be replaced. It was very soft and uncomfortable. Several of the window blinds were not operable or broken. The outside of the back porch doors were just grubby with dirty hand prints. The stove top was greasy.

I’ve stayed in San Destin more times than I can count and this has been the best location and best layout so far. We stay often (4-5 times annually) to visit family that live on the loop and this was perfect. Deck is great and very private. Great for watching fireworks too.

We have stayed at Laurel Grove several times over the years. The Crows Nest is our favorite. We especially liked the privacy of the back deck. The indoor and porch furniture was very comfortable and decor beautiful. Equipped with everything you would need and more. We will be back with our family next time... there is plenty or room for everyone.
The house is spacious, in a quiet neighborhood, comfortable and in a good location. It was great to have the golf cart for the beach, dining, shopping, and enjoying all there is to do at the wharf. There is also a nice pool and hot tub within walking distance. An added bonus is a TV in each room and beds that are really comfortable. I would certainly return to this location.
The house was excellent. The location was also great! The only area for improvement was with the management company not being able to provide clear guidance regarding garbage collection.
We had an amazing time at this property and loved being in the Sandestin community!! One of our favorite things was having the golf cart to use! Very clean and plenty of room for everyone!! The back porch is so amazing and fun to sit on in the early mornings and afternoon! 10/10 and will definitely be back!
