Sandestin Luau Studio, Steps to Beach - Family/Golf, Beach Gear/TRAM/WiFi

A perfect large sized Studio sleeps 4 that comes with Kitchenette, Full size fridge. Newly painted and updated Nov 2018. This unit is on 3rd floor of Luau Tower and less than 3 minutes walk to the beach. The tower is situated within the Sandestin resort and a 2 min drive or 10 minute walk from the security gated entrance. The resort is equipped with pools, 3 championship Golf courses, Tennis courts, shopping, restaurants and many other amenities. The resort is 15 minutes drive from Destin, FL and 30 minutes drive from VPS airport. Ask for owner's special for more than 1 week stay.

Welcome to MIRAMAR BEACH! This unit is not directly on the beach. It is just behind Elephant Walk, the beach access area, and adjacent to the parking lot to the beach access area. So you are as close to the beach as the folks who drive over, but you can walk right out of your condo to go to the beach. It is literally a three minute stroll to the beach. Luau has the best pool in the resort, and it is a salt water pool. There is a small tiki hut that is open seasonally.

Besides reasonable rates, it is a condo that a family can come, and is stuffed full of everything you need for a wonderful family vacation, including beach stuff and kitchen stuff. Remember, we love this unit and we plan to come and stay in it when we can, and would like to give the owner's experience for you. No hidden fees. We are always open to suggestion on what we can do to make the condo better for you. My guests provide raving reviews for the comfortable mattresses that offers same or better than the comfort of your house.

Returning Guests, please highlight to let us know prior to your arrival.

This studio condo is the only studio with a full size refrigerator, full size farmhouse sink, full size dishwasher! Other basic appliances like microwave, electric hot plate, toaster, and coffee machine. You have more than enough available to make basic breakfast and lunch in the condo. The bathroom has a tub/shower with spray wand. The Euro-style tankless, in-line water heater, which means hot water is instant, and never runs out. A big 50 inch TV nicely placed to viewed from both beds. The TV is hooked up to a dedicated Netflix account with thousands of free movies and tv shows and free Wifi provided by the property.

You will find basic kitchen sundries, such as salt and spices, sugar and coffee, condiments and more. Dish washer pods under sink. We have basic bathroom items under the sink, and a closet to store your clothes. The beach chairs and umbrella are in the storage at Parking level. Upon request, I also provide a Crib for my guests with infants, also stored in the storage downstairs.

We provide soft towels, ample hand towels and wash towels for entire family.

The height of this third floor condo is such that it is right over the palm trees, high enough to give you a heavenly breeze when it cools down and nice view from the balcony. The window in this unit is west facing, with a view of the Tivoli condos and swimming pool just beyond.

The resort is equipped with 3 championship golf courses. My personal favorite is Raven Golf club and Links Golf club is on the North side of property. Summer is wonderful, but I hope you have a chance to go in the off season. There is nothing better than throwing the balcony doors open and waking up with the rising sun and lapping waves, and having a cup of coffee with the golden sunrise and the distant peal of seagulls.

The decor is kid friendly, with happy colors. We know you will love this unit, and we hope that you will feel it love you right back. We are the owners and not a management company, and We want to give you personal service and make your vacation very special.

P.S. This unit is available for short term rentals (four weeks or less).

You can't beat the location of this property! You can walk to the beach and the pool is just downstairs. That eliminates having to drive & park or use a shuttle. There are lots of restaurants and several grocery stores to drive to close by.The room is the size of a hotel room and the check-in and check-out process was easy. I booked this place because of the location and the availability of a kitchen along with price and availability. However, keep in mind a few things. 1)There is no stove. I didn't notice this when I booked the room. There is a hot plate which we used for eggs in the morning but it wouldn't be ideal for making a pot of spaghetti. 2) Even though the condo is located in Sandestin, you don't have any access to Sandestin amenities (fitness center, hotel beach areas, etc). It does make you feel a bit like a 2nd class citizen, but that's ok. You can use the shuttle to get to a shopping/dining area on the other side of the main road and find a spot on the beach in narrow sections between the hotel's private & beach chair areas. We enjoyed the Luau condo's pool and the 4th of July fireworks next to the hotel. This condo is worth it because going to Destin is all about being at the beach and spending a lot of time inside the room is not the goal.

May '23 Wedding Trip and mini vacation
The Luau Tower1 property is located on the beachside within the huge Sandestin / Bay Towne Gated Community. The condo was clean and comfortable w both a K and Q bed and full frig. We did not use the hotplate for any cooking. It was an easy 3 minute walk to the beach and The Beach House Restaurant (delicious!). The owner provided access to beach chairs, coolers for use. There was a pool and hot tub by the Tiki Bar-we did not use. The sandy beach and crystal clear water were superb. The beach was extremely crowded with umbrellas and guests everywhere but we thoroughly enjoyed it anyway. Friends had a beach wedding in front of The Beach House, bonfire the night before and rehearsal/family dinner there too. The reception was on the lawn at The Grand-food was marvelous. The dueling pianos at Rum Runners was a good time too. I would definitely return to this area again in the future, I would like to find an area that is not as heavily crowded at the beach.

A Much Needed Getaway
The property was GREAT! Wonderful location just a few minutes walk to the beach. Favorite restaurants were The Beach House (between the unit and the beach) and Rum Runners (just a short tram ride to Baytown Wharf). Get to the beach earlier so you can snag a good spot or go later in the afternoon after 3:30 when people are starting to leave. We hadn't been on a family vacation in YEARS and this was EXACTLY what we needed. Unit had 3 sand chairs (low sitting beach chairs), Beach Umbrella, and wagon to shuttle stuff to and from the beach. We also brought a portable clothes drying rack to dry our swimwear out on the small patio. Not enough room to really use for any form of sitting / relaxing but great for drying items. Hopefully you enjoy your trip as much as we did!

Perfect Condo! Great Location!
Sandestin is always a great resort. We stayed on the bayside last year but decided to stay on the beachside this year and what a great decision! This condo was very clean, spacious and fully stocked with necessities. Short walk to the beach. Great views! Ravi is the perfect host. Very tentative and thorough. He informed us about everything we needed and more! Our family will definitely stay here again!

The property was wonderful. The room had everything we needed. Comfy beds, TVs, hooks for everything. Elevators speedy, beautiful grounds, and friendly staff. All the information was conveyed by owner clearly and had so many useful tips and advice about the area as well. The only thing I wasnt a fan of is just my own preference but we knew it when we booked it and that was having a room on the beach. This room's balcony would allow you to see ocean and was a very easy walk to beach, just couldnt hear the waves or sit on balcony and at night to watch the waves or moonlight on the water or watch sun rise over the beach. Again though that is just my own preference, the room and property gives you great experience.

Ravi, I just want to thank you for letting us stay in your place. It was an amazing stay and the hospitality was absolutely amazing. I could not be more grateful. There was seriously no problems with our stay at all! Everything ran great and everything was as advertised, if not better. The place was so close to the beach (maybe a three minute walk) and it was right by the pool! I could not be more pleased. Thank you again. Your place provided us a trip full of great memories! I will definitely be recommending you to friends and family.

Perfect condo for our family!
This condo was perfect for our family of four. The owner has honestly thought of about everything to make your stay as simple as possible. We really enjoyed having the full sized kitchen and washer and dryer in the bathroom. The beds were very comfortable. We loved having the two televisions so that we could watch what we wanted and kids could watch their shows. The condo location is close to the elevator so not far to walk to pool or beach. Our trip was interrupted by a hurricane scare and the red tide but we still enjoyed staying here and the owner was wonderful to work with. He really shows he cares about his guests staying in his condo. If we are ever back in Destin I am sure we will visit again.
