I will be staying in the area in June for 1 week. My husband & I always go to Sandestin but want to venture out of the gates for this vacation with many family members. Our biggest decision is where to stay. We would like a community pool (what about the "12,000 square foot" one mentioned time & again on VRBO?) and close beach access. We took everyone to Sandestin last year and were disappointed at the group's lack of interest in the shuttle so would like to avoid that again. Another dilemma is that we always bring our dog with us & there aren't many pet friendly options. I would appreciate any & all ideas/input. Thanks.
