Getting there
Somewhat walkable
Places to stay are graded on a 0-100 scale. The higher the grade, the easier it is for travellers to find restaurants and things to do within walking distance.
Having stayed at Sundestin probably 12 times in a row. Always going in the fall when it is not too hot. I am really upset with all of the new fees that makes the entire reservation price go up. The cleaning fee in 2022 was 75.00, now 174.00 then there is a reservation fee/ admin. fee 75.24, then the resort fee of 60.00 for the use of the gym, pools and etc. These items have been here for ever now we are being charge for it. I do not know what else you can add to a reservation. I usually book with an sundestin agent or online. Also, maybe this is for the second counter over. Who wants to review your stay and give you some information about the resort. I do not need all of the extra fees and I cleaning fee is just crazy. Can’t stay here anymore. Hotels are popping up on the beaches now and no extra fees except for taxes due. Thanks you very much. Liz

We stayed here thru Vrbo and this facility and our condo was great. Our problem was when we put our umbrella up the beach service "la dolce vita" would not allow it. We ask where we could put it and they said No Where. Stated the HOA at SundestinResort did not allow Umbrellas on Their beach! BUT there were at least 50 of them placed on Their beach by "La Dolce Vita". A TENT could be used but W we are older and donot have a tent. Bottom line was rent their umbrellas and chairs or your out of luck.... "La Dolce Vita" beach service also would not allow visitors to sit in the gulf in their personal chairs!! How can they have control over the water? It was all so rediculous and so many angry frustrated vacationers! The Sundestin Resort needs to rethink their Beach policy and Beach Service! Quite disappointed.....

Upon arrival, checkin in was a breeze and during this pandemic it was nice to see the staff wearing mask and cleaning the facility throughout the day. We grabbed our keys through the seamless process and headed up to the 18th floor to our unit and I was impressed by the speed of the 4 elevators, During our entire stay they were quick, definitely for the size of the facility.
We stayed in unit 1802 which was lovely, it had everything that one would need. We of course brought along our Lysol spray and wipe and cleaned every surface and sprayed down EVERYTHING in sight. We had a party of four: myself, husband, 13yr, and 3 yr old, there was plenty space for us all. The appliances were updated, the furniture was comfy, and the bed was nice. It was slightly sloped downwards at the head of the bed.. but nothing too drastic and it was still comfy enough. The view from the room was so lovely, just wished there was more than 2 chairs on the balcony. The A/C worked amazingly, which in Fl is important. Yes, you hear it on the balcony when you are out there, but it soon turns into white noise and fades with the sound of the ocean. They have a great DVD selection for those, too hot to go out right now kinda days.
The resort DO NOT provide extra towels, well not for free.. the expectation is that you buy more for 10 bucks or wash what you have. we stayed for 5 nights and ended up washing halfway through because..ewww. There is a coin machine in front of the check in desk.
The ONLY MAJOR issue we had was parking.... if you leave out to get food after staying on the beach late be prepared to not be able to park at the resort. They have a policy that they have no way and/or intentions on enforcing and that's "Only cars with the blue parking decal can be parked at anytime in the lot. Well my husband ended up having to hike it from the chic-fil-a across the street after driving around and seeing plenty of cars parked without the blue decal.. when we and others brought this to the attention of the front desk, they claimed they were working on it and said that the security guard was going to get to the bottom of it...ummmm yea no.. he looked terrified at the idea and you better believe nothing came of it.
But all in all, we had an amazing time, the place was beautiful, the location was to be desired, this will probably be our go to vacation spot in Destin

Every room is different so be specific about what your desires are. Amenities are great! We have been staying for over 20 years and do not own a condo. Sundestin is close to restaurants, shopping, the boardwalk, and anything we’ve ever wanted or needed. There is a bar/grill, a very convenient store that has coffee, a cooler of drinks and ice cream, items you may have forgotten to bring. There are washers and dryers at the end of each hall and some rooms even have them in the bathrooms. The rooms we have carefully chosen are laid out and take it vantage of every space, and are nicely decorated. We always stave, beachfront and balconies are spacious and private.

We stayed 1 night at a 1 bedroom condo at The Grand. $536. Paid extra for a golf cart rental and it broke down and we had to get a Sandestin employee to pick us up. I went to make coffee the next morning and the water from the kitchen sink was black, I have a video. When I checked out, I showed him and also asked about a refund for the golf cart rental. Fast forward several weeks later, I had to call them just to get back the $500 golf cart deposit, and they refused to refund the golf cart rental, or offer any discount or compensation for the black water from their faucets. Terrible customer service, and we have been staying there for years. Do not stay at The Grand!!

The bed in 1416 is the worst bed I’ve ever slept on. It’s a king. The two sides are so worn out, you literally touch the box spring through it. There are permanent indentations from having been used likely since the 90s. It’s a cheap 8” spring mattress which makes it worse. The middle has a huge hard hump so you can’t even roll over. The furnishings in the entire room were incredibly dusty, especially the wicker headboard. We covered it with the spare sheet so we could sleep without rolling and breathing in dust. Only one ceiling fan worked and it was the dining room one. Other than that, the room is cute and decorated very beachy-Florida. The bathrooms and kitchen are clean and well-equipped. The floors are all tile and clean. We didn’t see any critters or roaches which is always a plus. Just change the entire bed, mattress and headboard, and this would’ve been a really nice stay.
The staff were all super friendly but I didn't bring my concerns to their attention until checkout. I'm not sure they would have been able to do anything about it anyway.

The one good thing about this property is the view of the gulf, and the front desk personnel. The condo was worn, but everything in the condo itself was clean. The biggest issue was construction was being done on the balconies, and the outdoor pool was closed. Had no idea that this was going on until we were woken up by construction noise that went on for most of the day. We booked through a different site that did not mention the construction on the booking. After several hours on the phone that site did provide a partial refund to be used for another stay. The hallway on the upper floor was dark and there was a smell of mold in the carpet. Because the garbage chute was blocked, garbage was left by occupants in the hallway. The tub in the unit did not hold water, bulbs were burnt out , no hair dryer, and the ice maker in the refrigerator did not work. If you consider this property, be aware that the beach chair vendor has priority for the unobstructed view of the gulf. Others that did not want to pay, but sat in front of the chairs were shooed off. Read all communications very carefully, and avoid paying top dollar for your stay until the construction is complete.

First trip to Destin and Florida actually. Everything was great except the resort and our room. Waited in the lobby for 6 hours when no one stayed in our room the night before. Vacasa wouldn't allow early check in and assured us there was a baggage check. Unless you want anyone grabbing your bags then yes there's a bag check. The room smelt terrible the entire time and MOLD in every room. The carpets in the hallways are pure black!! Unfortunately my friend is highly allergic and they refused to accommodate us in the slightest. They could only offer rooms 25+ mins away without being on the ocean. No refund nothing. Terrible business, they said they'd come look at the room, we waited another 2 hours and nobody even showed up. Shame on Sundestin for partnering with them, it could be a decent place. Whatever you do don't book through Vacasa!!

We loved this place last year. It will likely be good again in a few years to come. Right now the construction is unbearably loud. All outside amenities are closed and you need to walk under cover to get to beach. Scaffolding and ropes are in front of all rooms and 2 days ago our porch door was barricaded closed as well. It is just not safe to be there! We have been relocated by our vacation group. Bless them.

When we arrived there was construction going on, the resort was not at all as advertised. The condo we stayed in was 1214 it was not clean and smelled of smoke. I cleaned the unit myself and reported the issues but did not want the cleaning company to clean because if they could not do better than this I would rather do it myself. There is no washer and dryer in the unit. A big issue was the bathtub would not drain. It was so full of hair that it was disgusting. The pool and outdoor area was nasty. The elevator was so hot you could not breathe. If you are looking for a place to stay in Destin do not stay here. I would hive the place a 1 star.

Para responder esa pregunta lo mejor es entrar en una pagina como wunderground y buscar la serie historica de Destin . Alli encontrara todo lo referente a clima para cualquier fecha del año
I believe this unit(0914) is listed on Wyndham Vacation Rentals website . I don't know if there are any reviews for this property yet. If you go on there you can at least see pictures of how the property looks.
"Make sure the outdoor pool is open as it was closed on our visit in May. Donot go expecting to put up your umbrella!Only LaDolce Vita beachservice is allowed to@ 45$ a day!"
