Sandestin Golf & Beach Resort

June 18, 2013 by Kellie


Our Vacation in Sandestin, Florida

If you know me personally, than you know that almost every story I have leads back to the beach.  Or if it doesn’t start with the beach, I’ll have my story make a sharp curve to head to another story about the beach  😉   The beach & the ocean are part of my core.  The dear & sweet people at the amazing Sandestin Golf & Beach Resort must have known that I needed some beach therapy, because they provided an amazing room with a view for our family to come & visit.  Apparently, my kids feel the same way about the beach.  They l i v e for it as well…(ahem) as you can see by the very first pic above & video below, they could hardly contain themselves when we arrived on the beach in Sandestin, FL.

If you’ve never visited the Emerald Gulf Coast, you are missing one of the finest beach areas the US has to offer.  There is no way I can explain how clear the water is & how white the sand is, every sunset will always have a touch of pink in it when you mix the hot sun, against the white sands & the emerald/blue water.  It truly is a magical sight to see.

We had the pleasure of staying in the Sandestin Golf & Beach Resort.  It’s a huge resort that has so much to offer, that you’ll never need to leave the property.  Do you see that emerald water…???  That is how it is all the time!

In fact the resort is so large, they have a free app you download so you wont ever get lost & you can see all the amenities they offer.
Sandestin Golf & Beach app For us as a family, our main goal is to be together on vacation.  We do everything together & our goal of vacation destinations is that they are very family focused.  We stay away from places that have possible rif raf,  our personal mindset is that we’ve waited, saved, planned & dreamed of vacation for a year & why waste that one glorious week on a place you may not enjoy?  That is why we really do our homework when planning our vacations.  We want to have those precious family moments together, in a great location, and in a family friendly town.  Sandestin Golf & Beach Resort is everything we wished for & more.  Their property has an “ocean” side & a “bay” side. Both sides of the property host gorgeous golf courses, along with beach/water sports.   On the Bay side, the possibilities are endless as to entertain, play & eat with the entire family.

We experienced a magical rainbow while staying in Sandestin.  We were looking for mermaids to pop up at any given moment, it was so incredible.  Sandestin has so many properties & various rental styles available.  They even have some houses that can sleep up to 14, if you want to visit with your extended family.  Another place you can stay is The Grande that is full of classic Southern charm.  It also has the huge veranda overlooking the lawn that is very close to the Bay.  On the Village side, there’s eateries, shops, games & dessert places galore!  You don’t ever have to leave the property once you arrive.  They have everything covered here for you, including free Sandestin Trams and/or bicycle rentals to get around.  We spent a lot of our time in the Baytowne Wharf Village, which happened to be kids’ favorite part!

Here’s a brief video of our room & view.  We absolutely were amazed by what we could see!
 Family memories, special moments & time together make the beach an amazing place.  To me there is no comparison.
We love the Emerald Gulf Coast.  It’s a special place that I truly believe God created for beach lovers.  Sandestin Golf & Beach Resort is centered right in the middle of the gorgeous white sands of the Emerald Coast line.   They have so much to offer & all the amenities will be right at your finger tips, along with salt in the air & sand in your hair.
