About this property

Incredible NOLA-Inspired Condo in Baytowne Wharf!

Right where you want to be! "French Haven" is a 2 bed, 2 bath, 2nd floor condo right on the main pedway of Baytowne Wharf in Sandestin® Golf and Beach Resort. Walk down the back stairs to the courtyard, and head out to fun in any direction. No need for a car or golf cart as you will be within walking distance of all the action and entertainment, and just a free tram-ride away from the beach and additional shopping and dining. There's even a gym, pool, and hot tub just steps away. Sleeps 4-6.

* 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms
* Sleeps 4-6 comfortably
* Master suite has a king bed and an attached bathroom, sleeps 2
* Guest room has a full-over-full bunkbed with attached bathroom, sleeps 2-4
* Smart TV's in every room
* Large full kitchen with stainless steel appliances and essentials
* Laundry area with full sized washer and dryer
* Fabulous balcony overlooking the Village of Baytowne Wharf
* Elevator access to condo entrance (please note there are 3 steps to enter the condo)
* Parking for 1 vehicle in covered garage (additional vehicle parking within 1/4 mile)
* Pets 25 pounds or less allowed if listed in the booking and the pet fee is paid. For larger pets please reach out prior to booking.
* Please note that the "property fee" of $10 a night is to pay a mandatory tax from the HOA that we cannot line-item as a tax in VRBO

You will love "French Haven!" The unique brick and wood flooring, along with the artwork on every wall, really gives you that jazzy New Orleans feel, and the music streaming in from "Rum Runners" and other neighborhood haunts will make you feel like you're truly on Bourbon Street! This child-friendly condo is right in the heart of Baytowne Wharf with room to sleep 4-6 (ideally 4 adults OR 2 adults and 2-4 kids). Enjoy the balcony and watch the hustle and bustle of Baytowne Wharf right below your feet. This is where it's all at - you won't need a car to get anywhere you'll want to be. The owners have purchased tram passes for their guests, so just head to the main pickup at Baytowne (a 2 minute walk) and you're on your way to the beach, Grand Boulevard, tennis, golf, and the marina.

There is a king-sized bed in the main floor master bedroom, with a private bathroom with a walk-in shower and dual showerheads. The master suite is incredibly spacious with a large walk-in closet, a mounted smart TV, and lots of privacy. There is a ceiling fan for added air circulation and multiple canned lights to make the space cheery and bright!

The guest room has a full-over-full bunkbed (with steps) with a full bathroom attached. The walk-in shower in the en-suite bathroom is gorgeous! Like the master bedroom, this room is filled with light from recessed lighting and a nice-sized window. This is not a dark and closed-in bunkroom! The décor is just delightful and makes guests feel at home with their own private smart TV.

The living room has a large sofa and oversized chair for kicking back and relaxing in comfort. The living room and both bedrooms each have mounted smart TVs - so remember to bring your Netflix/Amazon Prime/streaming credentials with you on your trip (cable is also included on each TV). There is plenty of room for everyone to settle in at "French Haven."

This privately-owned home has an amazing kitchen featuring granite countertops, granite and stainless steel backsplashes, and outstanding GE Monogram stainless-steel appliances. Yes - that is a gas cooktop you see! The kitchen is fully equipped (full-sized Sub-Zero refrigerator with 2 freezer drawers!) for the enthusiastic cook who enjoys feeding family and friends! A Keurig coffee maker is available along with a traditional coffee maker. The kitchen has dining space for 4 at the raised counter, and access to the second full bathroom is off the kitchen.

There is a full-size washer and dryer off the main entry hall with detergent provided. It's nice having the laundry separate from the main living space!

The balcony at "French Haven" is the star of this property! Enjoy dining "al fresco" as you watch people enjoying their time at the Village of Baytowne Wharf. The nights with live music can be enjoyed right from your own condo as well as the fireworks every Tuesday during summer!

We do allow pets at or under 25 pounds to stay as long as the pet is listed on the reservation and the pet fee is paid. If your pet is over 25 pounds, please reach out before booking.

"French Haven" is located within the resort of Sandestin® and is on the bayside amongst golf courses, the conference centers, the Marina, and Baytowne Wharf! The beach is a mere 1.5 miles away (please bring your own beach towels), close enough to tram, walk, or bike over but far enough away to escape the hustle and bustle (and noise) of beach life. Walk out the back door and head in any direction towards fun and entertainment!

The owners take great pride in providing the types of amenities that they, themselves, look for when traveling with their friends and family. You will find everything you need to cook, relax, and enjoy your vacation, including a full-sized washer and dryer in the home, smart TVs, coffee makers, bathroom amenities, laundry detergent, a pack-n-play (please bring your own sheet) and booster seat for your use. Cleanliness is critical to a guest's experience and we employ the most highly-rated housekeepers in the area.

This property was so cute and conveniently located! We went down there to celebrate my birthday. You are literally right above all of the action! We loved people watching on the porch. The pool was right around the corner, and beach was only a tram ride away. Highly recommend! We will definitely be back!

Amazing condo !

I wish we could give this a 10 Star rating! from the beautiful decor, incredible brick flooring , movie night surround sound system,to the high end appliances and amazing showers, this place had it all ! The host was equally impressive (Kayrl was the nicest most attentive person we’ve ever rented from) we can’t wait to come back to stay here again !!

Great place

The owner is super nice and was accommodating to our needs. Tresha - the owner, is very kind and helped us with any questions or concerns we had during our stay. The property is on a resort and conveniently located in the Village with lots of activities and restaurants onsite. We felt very comfortable letting our kids go out to the Village and enjoy themselves with ourselves nearby. Please make sure to bring extra toilet paper and trash bags and beach towels-one set is provided. Kids absolutely loved the place and the resort. We will definitely be back to Destin!

Family Vacation

My family and I throughly enjoyed our stay. Although we have stayed @ the Village before this was our first time in this particular unit. The location is ideal for being in the center of everything! The Loft is exactly what the pictures show and decorated beautifully! You do have to be prepared however for stairs getting to the Loft. I would definitely stay again in this Loft and recommend it to others. I also love the fact that communication w/ the owner was easy. Anytime I needed to ask a question, I received an email response in a timely manner.

Very nice with sone minor annoyances

Location is really top notch if you want to be in the middle of the wharf. We really loved it. The owner is very responsive which I appreciated. The property did have some inconveniences. The living room tv apparently gets disconnected and settings changed between guests sometimes. We had a pile of remotes (5) and could not get the settings correct. The owner came by and fixed next day but just a quick cheat sheet with needed settings would have been great. Freezer door also would not stay shut so the unit ran constantly which was pretty loud. One note also: the unit is a bit smaller than the pics appear in vbro. Not a big thing but keep in mind. All in all we enjoyed our weekend trip and would definitely recommend.

Our stay was really wonderful. We have a 4 and 6 year old and a small cavapoo who went with us and first I have to say, we heard next to nothing at night when Baytowne was hopping! The place was swanky and cool. A few things were messed up from previous renters like the laundry closet door and the sink in the guest bathroom was basically off the wall so my kids had to use ours. But it was still an amazing place! The owners were easy to contact and very kind. A huge thing for us also is they didn’t have a governor on the AC! Team passes took us to the beach every day so we didn’t have to worry about parking. It was awesome! I can confidently say our family had an awesome vacation and we look forward to staying again in the future! Thank you for a wonderful place!

We had a great time!

The one negative about the whole place was that it was loud all night due to the nightlife around the area. Most people probably wouldn’t mind, but we had a three month old baby with us so that was difficult. Overall, though, the location was so fun to be next to all of the shops and restaurants and have pool and beach access!
