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

Luau 2nd Flr Sandestin Studio TRAM/Beach chairs -close to the beach-

Our condo is inside Sandestin Golf and Beach Resort. You'll love it because it is right by the Sandestin Beach, nicely decorated, updated, recently painted and well maintained with great views. We provide TRAM Access Card so you can move around the Resort, Netflix with thousands of TV shows and movies and beach chairs & umbrella and a cart to carry them all to the beach. We have a King size bed and a twin size cool gel memory foam sofa bed, a kitchenette with microwave, toaster blender and a mid size refrigerator.

We provide a Pack n' Play.

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

Cleaning, linen and Resort fees are included in our pricing under "Host Fee".

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 2 days after check-out. -This item may be stated as "deposit paid at the property" in the quote-

Damage Deposit/Security fee is refundable. It is not even a real charge, just a credit card hold a day before check-in and released a day after check-out.

We are in Luau 1 (taller) building on the second floor right on top of the entrance. We do not have a balcony.

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 provide our vacationsatdestin site.

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

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.

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.

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.

You will find this 2nd floor Luau I condo is a luxury place to relax and enjoy while visiting the Sandestin Resort area. Our condo is family owned and operated within the resort. We will provide you with personal service you will not find with a big management company. We manage and operate all our condo's in the area. You will receive our full attention.

This is a luxury decorated Studio condo that sleeps up to three. We have one King Size bed, a sofa in the living room that converts to a twin 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. 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.

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.

Netflix with thousands of movies and TV shows
Umbrella/Chairs, beach toys and a Cart to carry them all to the beach.
Updated unit with new flooring, new paint, new furniture etc.

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.

We are remote but only a phone call away. We give our guests privacy. If needed just call or text me. We answer right away.

Please note that this is a non-smoking unit. Pets are not allowed in the building per the HOA.

This place was fantastic. The beach is so close, the private pool and hot tub are right out front. There are a couple restaurants within a 4 minute walk that serve good food and drinks. The parking is incredibly convenient. The place was clean with plenty of linens and space! We will be coming back again next time we come to Destin.

The owner's communication was precise and extremely detailed. The room looked exactly like the pictures; clean, comfortable, and convenient. We stayed on the 2nd floor just around the corner from the elevator. So no 'elevator' noise and we were able to take the stairs located right across from the elevator while we stayed.I took most of my own stuff, like the bath towels, paper towels, plates, utensils, own coffee, and so on. But the owner does provides plenty of supplies and much more, such as dishes, cups, coffe/coffee maker, mixer, iron, can opener, corkscrew, and etc. They even provide beach chairs & umbrellas, cart, enough trash bags, broom and mop (so you have no reason not be clean 😀) The only thing you would want to bring is your own beach towel, which the owner let you know upfront. The pool was right in fron of the lobby & the beach was only 2 mins walk from the pool so we never had to turn on the TV while we were there. Only down side about staying in a huge resort like this is that you dont want to leave the property but have to for meals mostly which is no fart of the property owner. I have not seen the final bill yet. But rarely using the room other than the bed & the bathroom, taking the trash out as instructed, and even cleaning up before leaving, i do expect to get the $150 they put a hold on my CC on the arrival day to be released. I recommend that you read all the email communications thoroughly. It will save you time, money & unnecessary packing.

The location is great, Tufan explained everything well in his listings and communication. The studio was comfy and very clean. We mostly ate out but there were dishes, silverware and any applied would have needed. The resort is beautiful and we love it, staying with Tufan offered quite a bit of savings and we loved our stay there. Thank you!!!

Anniversary weekend
My husband and I decided to take a quick trip to the coast for a few days to celebrate our anniversary and this location turned out to be fantastic. It was busier than we predicted for this time of year because of fall break, but we still enjoyed everything about the resort and the studio suite we rented. Upon arrival, we were able to park our car close the Beach House Pool and enjoy the beach while waiting on our check in time. Upon checking in, we found the studio to be clean and well maintained with crisp linens, soft towels, and all the amenities promised by the owner. We also appreciated all the communication the owner provided prior to our arrival. No hidden surprises, no wasted time trying to locate or figure things out...We were very informed and prepared, making our short stay even better! Thank you for sharing your vacation home with us. We will definitely be renting again in the future. The Colletts
