Luau Condos, Sandestin Golf and Beach Resort

      I’m just going to be totally honest here. I’m a little prejudiced about Sandestin Golf and Beach Resort.

4 Words Every Travel Writer Should Say

Forward all my mail to Condo #4759 Westwinds, Sandestin, Florida. IF ONLY.

I probably should have been more impartial. When Visit South Walton so kindly sent me a list of resorts and hotels willing to have me stay for a few days (seriously, so kind of everyone) for a Girlfriends Getaway with my sister and SIL, one name jumped out at me. Sandestin Golf and Beach Resort. … Continue reading »
