We come to Florida every year and this was by far the best place we have stayed. The home itself was stocked with everything and absolutely beautiful. The view of the bay out of the windows was breathtaking and the bay was full of fish. The golf cart was great to get around the property in. We had an amazing time and can’t wait to come again!

Our stay was perfect. The townhouse was beautifully decorated and very clean which made our stay so pleasant. The backyard water views were so peaceful. We have made Sandestin a yearly escape place and 966 Northshore has ranked to the top as a place to stay. The golf cart was one of the nicest one that we have had. The daily xplorie activities were a plus as well.

The views from this house are incredible! We enjoyed being on the bay even more than being on the beach. We’ve been to Sandestin many times and this was definitely our favorite rental. The house was beautiful with gorgeous finishes and decor. The beds were comfortable and the kitchen was well stocked. The golf cart was a hit with the kids.

We are thrilled to hear that you had a wonderful time with us in Northshore! It was our pleasure to host your stay and we hope to welcome you back again soon!
This property was perfect for our family of 4. We loved the bay view, the golf cart, beach chairs, and beach toys. We spent several nights playing family games at the kitchen table while enjoying the incredible view. The location was perfect, 5 min golf cart ride to The Boulevard and Baytowne Wharf. The location was quiet and relaxing.
I do think they could have supplied some spices for cooking, extra trash bags, and extra dishwasher tabs. However, when reaching out via email for more trash bags, they responded quickly and brought some over later that day. It also wasn't very clear what pools we had access to, but once I reached out via email they responded quickly.
Overall, it was a great stay and we'd highly recommend this property to friends and family.

When we arrive the condo was just as like the pictures. It was clean & all amenities you’d want. The instructions on the wall said the golf cart was outside to the right but it was not. When I text management, they said it was probably in garage B. So, sure enough when we opened the garage, it was being charged. I believe that if that were in instructions on wall, it would be helpful. We loved being right on the bay. It was beautiful at night. Loved sitting on the outside lanai outside the master bedroom.

Thanks so much for leaving us a review of your recent stay.

The rental is located in a quiet area which was perfect for us. The view on the bay is serene and the sunsets were fantastic. As usual, Gibson was responsive to our issues. Gibson is the best. I would recommend some spices be left at the rental as there wasn’t even any salt or pepper. Also, bring toilet tissue as one roll per bathroom won’t make it a week. One other suggestion is the owners add a window covering on the dining area west facing window. The sun is blinding before sunset if you’re at the dining table. We consider this rental to be one of our favorites in Sandestin Resort. It definitely deserves a five star rating!

Only one problem
When I rented the place, one of the main reasons for choosing the property was the golf cart.
I was told the day I was to check in, that the golf cart was not available due to needing repairs. I was also told that we would be reimbursed after the trip for no golf cart. I came home on the 17th, and still no money has been added back to my account. I can’t find an email about this issue either.
Beautiful town house! Very clean and updated. Great views of the bay. Perfect to enjoy a morning cup of coffee while watching the water. The neighbors were very friendly. All in all it was a great experience and I would definitely stay there again!
