About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire condo to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

6th floor Studio with Lake and Golf Course Sunset views - close to the beach-

This family owned studio condo is inside Sandestin Golf and Beach Resort. It is right by the Sandestin Beach, nicely decorated and very well maintained with great views. We provide TRAM Access ID's so you can move around the Resort, reliable WIFI, Netflix with thousands of TV shows and movies and beach chairs & umbrella and a cart to carry them all to the beach. You will have a King size bed and a queen size cool gel memory foam sofa bed, a kitchenette with microwave, kitchen sink and a mid size refrigerator.

We provide Pack n' Play in the condo.

We do not offer any military or other discounts. Applicable last minute specials are already built-in to the daily rates. -You pay full amount to confirm your reservation. Please check applicable cancellation policy below-

We do a credit card authorization of $200 as a security deposit, one day before check-in, but never charge your credit card. We automatically release this authorization hold 3 days after check-out. -This item may be stated as "deposit paid at the property" in the quote-

PETS are not allowed per the HOA (no matter how small).

If you reached us through vrbo/homeaway/expedia you will have to book through that channel as we do not accept direct bookings when approached through those channels. For repeat guests we may provide our vacationsatdestin site.

Our similar other unit's VRBO listing numbers are given at the end of this description. You may check those if your dates do not show availability.

Cleaning and linen fees are included in our pricing either under "Resort Fee" or "Property Association fee". The longer you stay, the less rent you pay per night since the Resort fee is averaged over your stay.

Our check-in is at 4pm. Check-out is at 10am. Since you directly go to the unit with your assigned door code, there is no deadline for checking in. You may check-in any time after 4 PM of the check-in day, just like you would at your own vacation home.

If this condo is not available for your dates, do check our other 3 condos at Luau or our other Baytowne Wharf condos inside Sandestin Resort.

With the largest Studio floor plan (~500 sq feet) you will find that the balcony has spectacular west sunset views of the Gulf and surrounding Golf course and area with a beautiful lake. This is a luxury decorated Studio condo that sleeps up to four. We have one King Size bed, a sofa in the living room that converts to a Queen Size bed. A bathroom, kitchenette, and small living room exactly as seen in the pictures. Free High Speed WiFi is included. We have big Screen LCD TV and DVD in the unit. Amazon Prime and Netflix is provided as complimentary. Coffee Machine, blender, Microwave oven, hotel size Refrigerator, Iron/Ironing board are included. This is a non-smoking unit and guest pets are unfortunately not allowed in LUAU.

Luau is the newest building at the beachside of the Sandestin Resort. The Luau complex has one of the nicest saltwater pools on the resort, with waterfall, kid pool, hot tub and snack bar with tropical surroundings. There is a fitness center and a Meeting Room and plenty of jogging and biking trails to enjoy. Luau's 11th floor observation deck is great for beautiful sunsets and sunrises. The Luau buildings sit on top of a rise just 2 minutes walk from the beaches of Sandestin right next to Hilton.

The Sandestin Resort area is the best resort in the area and has so much to offer. This security gated community provides added safety for the family. With its championship golf courses, tennis centers, miles of bike/jogging trails, miles of beaches, restaurants, shops, Baytowne Wharf, and children's activities all just inside the resort. The Marina with jet ski and watercraft rentals, Jolee Island and the multiple tree houses and nature walks are just a part of what this top resort destination offers. You will have plenty to do!. Sandestin Kid's club is very highly rated.

We offer a combination Keurig and Regular coffee brewing machine as seen in the listing pictures. Please bring coffee and filters.

You will find this 6th floor Luau I condo is a luxury place to relax and enjoy while visiting the Sandestin Resort area. Our condo is family owned. We will provide you with personal service you will not find with a big management company. This is one of our two condos so you will get our full attention.
Our condo is equipped with a key-less lock system that makes check-in a breeze, no keys to get, just go directly to your room. Plus the key-less lock system provides added security for you and top that off with the fact that the Luau is in a gated area with controlled access you could not find a safer spot.

There is no check-in or check-out at the lobby. You simply go to the condo, enter the door code and make yourself at home. There is also no front desk in the building.

If you arrive early, feel free to enter into the resort and enjoy the beach. However we do not allow early check-in's to the unit especially during high season since the unit is mostly booked back to back and we need extra time to prepare the condo

Whether you are a couple looking for a romantic getaway or planning that beach family vacation this is a great place for you.

You will have access to our beach closet that includes beach chairs, umbrella, and beach toys for that sandcastle! All you have to do is grab the beach bag, grab the chairs, and stroll to the beach. Since we are on the beach side it is a short 2-3 minute walk from your front door!
Our goal is to provide you a family owned place to stay that makes you feel like you're in a home away from home and you will return for years to come. I will be available to you 24/7. We have enjoyed the area for years and hope you and your family will do too!

Cleaning is provided at the end of your stay, right after you check-out. We kindly ask that you follow check-out timelines. If there is no guest arriving after you check-out or check-in, we may allow early check-in or late check-out. Just ask.

Free High Speed WiFi
Netflix with thousands of movies and TV shows
Umbrella and chairs and a Cart to carry them all to the beach.

You will have access to Sandestin TRAM, the LUAU pool, LUAU gym, LUAU barbeque area, LUAU observation decks, LUAU meeting room, LUAU parking and LUAU vending machines and laundry machines. Ice Machine is at the garage level of the Luau II building.

Both are open daily at 7 a.m. Pool 1 is open until 9 p.m. and the Phil Hummel Aquatic Center closes at sunset, with hours being extended once lights are installed on the deck.

Amazing trip
Tufan was so communicative and wonderful about making sure our trip was going well. The wagon of beach supplies with chairs and an umbrella were amazing! Saved us so much money and super easy to transport. Only gripe js the floors were very sandy and i had to use their vacuum on arrival, but i understand it is hard to keep sand out of the room

Great Stay Right on the Beach
My S.O. and I wanted a weekend getaway and this condo was perfect! It was located just a few minutes walk from the beach. Sandestin had great restaurants in walking distance, including the Beach House. Check it out if you have a chance! Tufan was a fantastic host and very attentive. The unit was clean and spacious with a private balcony which we enjoyed. Overall, I highly recommend this rental for your trip!

Summer Vacation
My husband and I really enjoyed staying in Luau 1. Everything was nice, except the beach chairs, umbrella, and the cart that was provide to carry the chairs and umbrella to the beach. The cart wouldn't roll because something was wrong with the wheels, so we had to carry them ourselves to the beach each time for 3 days, the chairs and umbrella was broken we still could use them but we kept having to fix them which made it uncomfortable. We went down to the laundry to wash, put money in machine to purchase laundry detergent and lost our money because the machine was empty, had to go over to Luau ll to purchase some. Other than those 2 issues everything was very nice we will stay there again in the future.

Studio with view of sunset.
It was a good experience, the room was large with king size bed and couch where we could watch TV. We could have breakfast and lunch in the room. There was a toaster coffee maker, dishes, a small refrigerator. I guess you could also get TV dinners for dinner. We were walking distance from the beach and there were beach chairs in the storage area. We enjoyed the studio Apt.

Short weekend trip - Great room, location and clean!
We (wife & I) found the room and location to be prefect for our weekend trip. Room was very clean, comfortable, easy check-in/out process and most importantly a short (<5 min.) walk to the beach. View of beach is limited (we never spent much time in the room), trade off is great view of overall resort and golf course. We highly recommend room and area for groups of 3 or less people and hope to return in the very near future. TomK

Absolutely stunning location, beautiful room, super clean and already planning a trip back!
We were so impressed with this place. First time together at the beach for us and couldn’t have been more happy. Everything with the room and the resort and local area exceeded our expectations. Absolutely wonderful! Directions and instructions were so helpful, everything in the room and storage unit is really well thought out. So thankful to have a couple of beach chairs and the umbrella for the beach, as we used them everyday (and the thought would have never crossed our mind). We can’t wait to come back. Thanks for the lovely, romantic getaway that we needed. It surpassed all expectations!

The studio was as advertised and was generally fine. My only complaint is the mini kitchen was very small, with no range or oven and counter high frig with no freezer. Not unusual for a studio, but still a negative. Otherwise, was good.

CLEAN AND BRIGHT WITH A VIEW!
The condo is in a very nice building with easy access to the elevator from the parking lot. it is almost directly across from the elevator on the 6th floor. The staff keep the main areas very tidy. The condo was bright with a pretty view of part of the Sandestin Resort. Everything was clean and there was basic supplies left for a few days such as shampoo, small soap, dishsoap, towels, etc. There is a drip coffee pot and dorm like fridge and microwave. The bed was very comfortable and there was a comfortable couch, tv and internet, and dining table with two chairs. Internet worked well as did tv. We were very satisfied. We did not use anything from the supply area for the beach.
