Sandestin Info Needed

[gastmorris]

Another mom and I are trying to plan a trip for our teenage boys (15) the first week of April. They want to stay near Sandestin this year (Seagrove was a little too quiet for them last year although I loved it).
Can you give me any info about Hidden Dunes? How close to Sandestin?
I'd rather not rent far away from the beach (bay side in Sandestin). I live in North GA so I'd love to be able to hear the ocean at night.
Thanks!
Stacey

Call Sandestin.
They have some new Condos on property on beachside that are for rent and they are nice. The teenagers will love it as there will be plenty for them to do and a lot of similar aged teenagers for them to meet.And you can see and hear the surf !!!

Stacey,
If you want to stay in Sandestin, the following are the "best" buildings
in Sandestin beachside to see and hear the ocean:
Beachside I, II & III.......Westwinds.....great pool and hot tub........
New Luau Buildings I & II; however, doubtful about hearing the ocean,
but ocean views. These Luau's are the newest on the beachside in the
resort. Also, they have a great new heated pool with hot tub....
With teens, you will want to have..... Sandestin's Amenity card.......
for Spring Break. This card enables you to use all of the amenities in the
resort which entails - tram system, Finz beachside pool, chairs/umbrella,
kayaks, bikes, putt-putt, rock-climbing wall, etc......

Sandestin offers the amenity card program with their rentals; however,
it might be lower $$$ to rent from www.VRBO and click on Sandestin
and then go to the individual buildings I listed above. Check with the owner
in regard to their amenity card program.......... Owner's can purchase this
program for their rentals.....

Good Luck with finding your perfect vacation rental!

Tivoli is one of our resident Sandestin experts. :clap_1:

I love Hidden Dunes. It has a Key West feel to it. That is the bungalow type units - not the big building on the beach. It is right in the Sandestin area. How close you are to the beach depends on what unit you rent. They do have a shuttle service to take you to the beach if you don't want to walk.

Stick with Tivoli info. Our teenagers love staying at Beachside I or II at spring break. Hidden Dunes would be lame to them. Make sure you negotiate for the amenity card. Westwinds is very expensive and further back from the beach. VRBO is your best bet. There's another agency there I've rented from the past two years that gave me great rates. I'll have to find the name. I'll send it when I figure it out. Have Fun!

Thanks for the great info about Sandestin. I've sent some e-mails to VRBO listings. We'll keep our fingers crossed that we can find something!

We've stayed at Beachside I and II at least 10 times, the Hilton about half-dozen times, Westwinds a couple of times before we discovered 30-A. Teens will like all of these places.

But teens also like Seaside. They travel in huge packs there. My daughter adored Seaside when she was in high school, but now that she's in college, she complains about all of the teenagers at Seaside and only wants to go there to dine at Bud & Alley's.
