South Walton Vacation Rentals

"This hotel is in serious need of updates and a thorough deep cleaning. We booked four rooms for a birthday trip, and the experience was disappointing from the start. One of our rooms went three days without their bathroom being cleaned, which forced us to share showers. I even had to go to Walmart to purchase cleaning supplies and clean myself. Safety was also a concern. On Saturday night, we heard someone attempting to get into our room, which was very unsettling. By the end of the stay, we were completely fed up. When checking out on Monday, we spoke with another guest who shared that his watch and wallet had been stolen from his room—even with a “Do Not Disturb” sign on the door, just like ours. It honestly made us feel like someone may have been trying to access our room as well but left once they realized we were inside. From the outside, the property looks appealing, especially with the pool and hot tub, but the rooms do not match that impression. One group in our party was placed in a handicap-accessible room because everything else was sold out, despite us booking three months in advance and requesting connecting rooms. None of our rooms were connected, which was frustrating. Overall, the quality of the rooms did not justify the price. While the location is convenient, I would choose a different hotel next time—likely the Hyatt."

"Excellent"

"Everything is great I wish they would be more clear it not a beach front and beach access is across the street but great location over all and great experience."

"I really had a great stay at The Lodge! Everyone was very nice and professional and the room very comfortable. I highly recommend this hotel to anyone!"

"Breakfast was fresh every day and the staff was very attentive and professional. Rooms were clean but a little small, but perfect for two."

"I loved the location of the Bay Club Sandestin, and the amenities of the area. We had access to 3 outdoor pools (2 heated), and there was a trolley to the beach area. We were able to visit other local attractions with just a 15min drive. Within the community there was a dedicated walking path that was beautiful and well maintained. My only complaint is that the actual unit we were staying in, while well-appointed was actual dirty. Walking through the unit after a shower resulted in visibly dirty feet. The showers and bath tub needed to be scrubbed, there was buildup of scum on the bottom of the shower. The kitchen was clean enough, but the dishwasher was dirty enough that I hand washed all dishes rather than put anything in there. "
