Living & Investing in Sandestin

Sandestin Golf and Beach Resort is a master-planned resort covering 2,400 gated acres running from the Gulf of Mexico to Choctawhatchee Bay. The resort centers on four golf courses, a bayfront marina, tennis courts, and the shops and restaurants of The Village of Baytowne Wharf, all inside the gates. Three of the four courses, Baytowne, Raven, and Links, are open to public play; Burnt Pine is Sandestin's members' club, with play limited to Burnt Pine members and registered resort guests. Real estate spans distinct villages: Gulf-front condos in Westwinds and Beachside, golf-course homes and villas around the Raven and Burnt Pine courses, and bay-side condos overlooking the marina. Rental rules vary by village and building: some participate in the resort's own rental program or an outside manager, while others restrict rentals to protect full-time owners, so confirm with the association before buying. Sandestin is a resort address within Miramar Beach's mailing boundaries; buyers comparing the two should weigh Sandestin's owners-association assessment and village or condo dues against a standalone Miramar Beach condo's dues.

Local Answers

Sandestin Real Estate FAQ

Is Sandestin a city or a resort?

Sandestin is a gated master-planned resort within Miramar Beach, not an incorporated city. It functions like its own community, with golf courses, a marina, restaurants, and security inside the gates, which is why buyers search it as a distinct market.

What fees do Sandestin owners pay?

Owners pay the Sandestin Owners Association assessment plus their village or condo association dues, and rental-program fees if they rent. Regular play at Burnt Pine requires its club membership, with limited tee times for registered resort guests; the other three courses are open to public play. Total carrying costs vary widely between a golf villa and a Gulf-front tower, so ask your agent to break out every fee line before comparing units.

Can Sandestin properties be rented short-term?

Many can, through the resort program or outside managers, but rules vary by village and building, and some enclaves restrict rentals to protect full-time owners. Confirm village-level rules before purchasing with rental use in mind.
