Luxury Bayside Sandestin, Beach Access, Golf Cart

8616 Magnolia Bay Lane | Sandestin® Golf and Beach Resort

Magnolia Bay is the perfect resort getaway—lush greenery, golf course and lake views, and an easy walk to the marina, tennis courts, and the Village of Baytowne Wharf™ for dining, shopping, and entertainment!

This spacious 3-bedroom, 3.5-bath villa sleeps 6, featuring two luxurious king suites, a queen guest room, a 2-car garage, and a complimentary 4-passenger golf cart. The open living area is great for relaxing, with a sparkling clean kitchen boasting granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, and seating for 6. Soaring ceilings, travertine floors, and scenic patio views of Baytowne Golf Course make this home a true standout.

The first-floor owner’s suite offers a king bed, blackout drapes, flat-screen TV, and en-suite bath with double vanity and walk-in shower. Upstairs, the second king suite features a private bath with a tub, separate shower, and walk-in closet, while the queen suite has its own spacious full bath. Washer/dryer sets on both floors add convenience.

Catch Baytowne’s fireworks right from your porch, swim at the nearby community pool, or ride the golf cart to beach sunsets and nightly events at the Village. Don’t miss nearby gems like Jolee Island and miles of resort bike paths!

Wonderful stay!

The property was very clean, perfect location, and very spacious. We were able to view the fireworks from the back patio. The furniture and beds were comfortable and the golf cart was perfect to get around the property and to the beach. We will definitely stay again.

Great Vacation

The house has a great location to the swimming pool, dining facilities, and entertainment. The golf cart is an added bonus for transportation to the beach as well as touring the various communities at the resort. We had a great vacation and would recommend this property to others!

Wonderful Stay!!!

My husband I truly enjoyed this property. We stayed for Christmas, and we could not have rented a better place. It was clean, comfortable and stylish. It was large, we only used the downstairs with the master bedroom, but the upstairs was very nice as well. Golf cart was great, very peppy, battery runs down fairly fast, but we were always ok. Would recommend this property to everyone.

Awesome Time!!!

The house has everything needed and is in a great location. Can't beat sitting on the porch in the morning drinking coffee and watching a little golf. Golf cart was perfect for going to the wharf, getting groceries at Publix and loading up to ride over to the beach. Plenty of beach accessories in the garage as well. Highly recommend.

Nice location

Close to marina, wharf, shopping, movies, grocery store, restaurants beach and pool. Golf cart is a nice feature. Pool code was given to me wrong twice, carpet was stained and dirty, and the whole being your own items (TP, paper towels, dishwasher/laundry supplies…) you can buy at the local grocery store.

Highly Recommend !!

This property was wonderful, everything described. Great location for enjoying everything that Sandestin offers. Everything is either a short walk or a golf cart ride away. House was clean and inviting when we arrived. 2 master bedrooms to choose from and It was nice to have the 3rd bedroom with its own full bath for visiting family and friends to stay the night. Sandestin itself is a great place to visit or stay. We were there a bit before their main season so there was a lot of construction projects happening everywhere but most everything was open for us to enjoy at the wharf. Numerous restaurants to discover and try throughout the property and a grocery store very close to get anything you may need to make your own meals. We are looking to book this property next year already.!!

Perfect location to Baytowne Wharf, Marina, Pool and more!

I have been vacationing at Sandestin Golf & Beach Resort since I was a kid. This was our sons first trip to the Destin area so I was so excited to show them my favorite resort. Our rental was lovely. It had more than enough space! We loved being close to Baytowne Wharf, the Marina, and a pool. We had a great view of the golf course. We loved having a golf cart to use throughout the resort. Just a short drive to the beach using the tunnel. Such a big bonus! The only issue (which wasn’t an issue) was one of the garage doors wasn’t operating so we had to park our car outside. Not a big deal. We enjoyed all aspects of our trip!

Overall a nice home.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Overall the home was well maintained other than the washing machines. The primary suite washing machine had a horrible smell to it and appears to not have been cleaned out in quite some time. We took a towel and wiped out a lot of dark colored dirt from inside the door. Even with bleaching out the machine the odor remained and it even transferred to our clothes. I would not offer the washing machine as an amenity unless someone keeps it clean. I have a video if you’d like. The only other issue was the painters doing work on the house. Not a problem, but we did not know they were going to be there for 3 of our vacation days. They taped up over the door and we had to move the vehicles a few times for them to clean the driveway and garage doors. They also had clear view into the home upstairs through the windows which made getting dressed in the bedroom impossible.

Destin Fl area visit

The house was actually in the Sandestin Beach and Golf Resort -- a few miles east of Destin Harbor. Very nice property - right next to the 8th hole. Quiet location and well managed. Owner provides golf cart which is all you need to get to the eating and beach areas within the resort. There was a couple of issues upon arrival -- fridge ice dispenser not working - filter needs replacement; patio ceiling fan didn't work; these were not resolved while we were there. The golf cart needed a brake/taillight replaced which was taken care of. The biggest issue was with the new A/C unit. It was extremely cold the first 24 hours and we could not get the thermostat to function. After contacting building management on the 2nd day, they advised the thermostat was left in a "lock out" setting -- renters could not change the thermostat settings. They un-locked it While there were these problems, it was a very good property, and the management was quick to respond to fix what they could.

The kitchen is stocked with everything you need and more. I’ve stayed in many rentals and this kitchen was by far stocked the best. Arrival and departure process is very easy. I’d give it a 10/10. Will be back next year!
