"Blue Haven" Beautiful Sandestin Beachside Villa Golf Cart Pool at Tivoli

We had a wonderful stay. Everything was beyond our expectations and exceptionally clean. Plenty of room for our crowd with kids. They had a high chair, pack and play, and kids cups & plates and utensils which was helpful. The kitchen had an abundance of flatware, plates, bowls, cups, dishes, and every kind of cookware you could possibly need. Plenty of towels in the cabinets and the washer and dryer in house made life so much easier to pack lighter. The golf cart made it so easy to load up and go to the beach without getting our car messy and made traveling around the resort fun and easy for parents and kids. Taking the kids across the street in the golf cart tunnel to Baytowne Wharf was fun & EASY for everyone ...with all kinds of adult and kid activities and restaurants without the traffic of Destin! We had a pool right around the corner when the kids got tired of the beach. We would definitely stay here again! Top of the line Destin experience!

Oh my gosh this house was gorgeous! The beds were firm and we loved the decor, especially fell in love with that most comfortable couch. You can easily take a stroll to the beach close by, use the fun golf cart when you need to get around, a delicious juice spot is also not too far off (Clean Juice). All of the rooms were perfect and felt great! The outdoor patio area was so relaxing to use at night, without getting attached by bugs because of the protective mesh. We all loved this Airbnb experience. Thanks again, we absolutely loved it, and would definitely stay there again!

Bring your own hair dryer-there was not one in the home.

Parking was horrible. I never once was able to park by our condo. No pantry. Went to the grocery store and had no where to store the groceries, had to leave everything out on counters. Beds were hard, need to put a pillow top down on mattress. Upstairs stayed hot even with 2 portable fans. It was dirty under the beds. Upstairs shower-during use water also leaked on the floor. TV's never worked properly. Living Room TV would just stop working and turn off or get stuck on one channel. Kitchen faucet was loose.

Been coming to San Destin for 20 years. Great place. Just when you go to the beach walk down to the right about 3 football field lengths to get away from all of the people that made bad decisions in their lives (tats, smokers, too much taco bell), and you will find much less crowded areas. The sheep seem to just walk down the stairs and sit in the sea of seven rows of chairs. Get some exercise and walk down the beach and you will find areas with very few people around you, and it is lovely.

I gave a 4 star review due to it being warm in the townhouse. Up stair bedroom was extremely warm and downstairs temp was barely 76 degrees during the day. The air conditioner maintenance came the last day as we were trying to pack and leave. I hope the next family had a better climate control. It was very clean and nice. Kitchen was stocked with any appliance. Overall stay was nice.

Lots of steps, but fine for our group. House was beautiful and location was perfect!

Beyond Blue were highly attentive and great to work with. Kelsey and Meredith not only answered all my emails in a timely manner but followed up when we were there to make sure everything was going well. The unit, which we have stayed in before, is extremely well equipped for large family gatherings- especially the kitchen. Tivoli is our favorite location in Sandestin - bigger units and easy beach access as well as basketball, pickle ball and some of our favorite restaurants at the entrance plaza! Great space for a large family the upstairs bedroom is key for our young adult children! The stairs are a bit of a challenge for our grandparents but there are rails so they were doable.

Very nice unit and very clean. The only issue was that there are 27 stairsteps to have to climb to get from the parking level to the first floor level of the unit. It is in a great location for the beach and all the local attractions.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The townhome was very nice within the Sandestin Resort property. The golf cart was a necessity to get to and from the beach. Pool was very nice and a nice break from the beach. Spiral staircase to the "bunk room" might be an issue if you have small kids. Highly recommend.

We had a large group and this house was perfect for me and my family. Perfect location with a golf cart to get you to the beach. We always stay in Tivoli when we come to Sandestin but this is our first in Blue Haven but hopefully not our last. The place was very clean upon arrival. The only complaints we had was not enough towels and the dryer takes three cycles to get anything dry. Overall a lovely place!

Awesome place

The Condo was great! The beach chairs and umbrellas in the condo were great to have. The condo was very clean and the kitchen was fully stocked with everything you would need to cook a serve. The pool is a very short walk and very nice. The only negatives to the stay: The Sandestin Beach was very crowded with beach rentals and very little room if you have your own things. Also the water was green and full of algae which was clearly out of anyones control but disappointing. We checked out the State Park later in the week and it was great! You do not get the resort golf rate unless you book through Sandestin, which would have been good to know.
The golf cart can get you anywhere in the resort. We took it to the beach which is a short walk or a quick golf cart ride. You can also take it to any of the restaurants or the grocery store. Lastly I would recommend renting a pontoon and going to Crab island or one of the shallow areas of the shore of the bay which is way less crowded.

This condo is exactly as it is in the photos! The living room is a wonderful space to gather, the kitchen is well equipped and the beds are comfy! The place was clean and well cared for. The pool is very close and the golf cart made beach access easy. The only negative was how crowded the beach is in this resort. We drove to a different beach or went later in the day, which worked out well for our group.

Manager's Response

We booked this property with family members and friends. The layout was great for having your own privacy and yet perfect for eating meals together. The golf cart is an added bonus. We used it to get around and take advantage of what the resort had to offer. We also enjoyed the screened in porch. Of course the beach was very crowded but that was to be expected. There are several swimming pool options if you want to get the Florida sun without fighting the beach crowds.

The house was GREAT!! BUT, people defiantly need to be aware of steps, all 25+ steps to get into the house. My mom is older and had a few issues going up and down. We really had to limit trips because of this. The cleanliness was very good, but there were areas that needed dusting pretty bad.

Manager's Response

The townhouse was beautiful, well stocked and the golf cart was a hit. We loved the area. Pool was just a very, very short walk and heated.

Overall, we had a good stay. We usually stay in a private house with a pool on vacation so this was very different for us. The condo was comfortable and clean. We fit 3 families comfortably. We had a couple issues that Beyond Blue was able to help with such as very low water pressure in the showers. They came out to replace the shower heads. We were without a dishwasher for the week which was an inconvenience. Who wants to do dishes on vacay? It was great to have the high chair and pack play. The pool is super close proximity which was nice. The golf cart was crucial- so glad to have it. Very nice to be able to use the golf cart tunnel for evening excursions to Baytown. Easy parking at the beach access- but the beach was packed which was unexpected being off season.

This is a great condo to rent. Seating is very comfortable. Nicely decorated. Kitchen is very well stocked. It was nice to have access to some beach chairs and the access to the golf cart was a home run since it seated everyone.
We did have issues with the shower water pressure a bit in 2 of the bathrooms but it would not deter us from renting this unit again.

Excellent

Place was clean and beautiful. We had great time and would recommend for large families.

We have six children (ages 1 to 17) and this was the perfect rental for us. We had more than enough space and the accommodations were great. We loved having the golf cart to cruise around the resort. The Sandestin Resort had so much for everyone to do and we appreciated not having to leave the resort every time we wanted to do something. We had a great experience with Beyond Blue Vacations and were easily able to extend our trip when we made the decision to do so.

Besides a few bumps in the beginning with the golf cart our stay was WAY beyond what I expected. The condo is Amazing, so beautifully decorated and the location is fantastic. Kitchen had more than you would need, the screened in porch was wonderful for quiet mornings...we made great memories here!

Fantastic condo and location. Absolutely perfect for a large group of friends that attended a wedding at the nearby Hilton-Sandestin resort. Extremely convenient to Baytowne also and the golf cart made it even more so.

our large group loved our stay for the week. very nice accommodations.

We went on a family vacation with my in laws during Christmas week and it was great! Our condo was beautiful, updated, and very clean. Anything you can think of needing they had it there. The outside was very nice to go on the golf cart or for a walk. The booking and check in was super super easy. We would definitely go back and stay here again. We are very grateful because we did forget something but we called that same day and they found it and mailed it to us. Thank you so much.

GREAT

This is by far the best experience we have had with a rental in Florida. This condo has everything you need from a waffle maker and griddle to fans to additional pillows. It was extremely clean and looks brand spanking new. There are even beach chairs and sand toys so you dont have bring or buy your own. I will definitely stay here again! Also, the high chair and play pen were such a great addition!

Beautiful condo, newly decorated. The golf cart was great! The kitchen had everything you needed.

Wonderful house and location. Easy golf cart ride to beach! Everything in the kitchen except a crock pot . Some problems with the golf cart but management company worked with us immediately to help get it fixed. If it does have a problem though there is no backup or loaner. The upstairs loft where all the kids stayed is really hot, not good air flow. Overall the house is exceptional, beautifully decorated, and laid out well for 10 people. We will book again and bring a fan for upstairs next time.

Nino was very helpful when I had concerns regarding the on line contract not being accurate. I appreciate her professionalism. The towel rack in the front bathroom needs to be moved. My husband hit his head on it several times coming out of the shower. I would enjoy renting this condo in the future.
