This was our second visit to this property in 3 years. First, let me get the only negative out of the way. As seems to be the case these days with Marriott and other hotel chains, they insist on building new properties right next to major highways and this one is no exception. If you happen to get a room on the side facing highway 98, be ready for 24-7 street traffic including frequent emergency vehicles, Harleys, and trucks. The sound doesn't even slow down coming through the room walls and windows. Did I mention Harleys? Really too bad Marriott built this wonderful hotel literally within 10 feet of a 6-lane highway which is the busiest in the region. You have the warning, so beware. Did I mention trucks?
Other than that, this is one of the best hotels in a semi-resort location that you will encounter anywhere. Well-trained staff, and beautifully-maintained facility. I will give them a lot of credit on the maintenance side of this hotel because they have many guests in the party mode and this place takes abuse from adults and unsupervised kids alike. In fact, many times you can't tell the difference between the two. A tip on the local beaches- if you want to party and deal with assorted "issues" on the crowded public beach, you can take a free shuttle from the front door of the hotel and back. If you want to "do quiet" beach time in a natural setting, try packing the beach gear and heading for Grayton State Beach ( $4 per car entry fee) a quick 13 miles east of the hotel. For us, Grayton State Beach is one of the great relatively undiscovered places of this section of the "Emerald Coast." Walking the the different trails inside the Sandestin enclave next to the hotel is also a nice way to get some excercise. Nearby shopping is pretty good. No shortage of places to overspend here. Overall, this hotel and the surrounding area is a great place to deplete your Marriott Rewards account. You really didn't need another MP3 player did you?

This is gotta be one of the best places in all of Destin to stay. We had a great time. The hotel is new, in excellent condition. The pool is plenty big and they also have a hot tub and kiddy pool. They also provide you with access to the private pool on the beach. They have a free breakfast and a free happy hour (6-8pm includes some food items, wine, and off name beer). The hotel staff were excellent, upgraded us to a 2 br suite for free. Another big benefit, they are in the Sandestin Complex, that means the free shuttle service is included that can take you to the beach, beach pool, shopping area, golf course, wharf and restaurant area, bike rental, or anywhere else on their property. This Sandestin resort area IS AWESOME! Plenty to do for all. I cant say enough about what a deal this is($150/night). Verry happy...

“Great - will full kitchen”

Residence Inn Sandestin at Grand Boulevard

28 Apr 2008

This is a great hotel to stay at. IT IS NOT ON THE BEACH. But minutes from it. Nice hotel - very clean - friendly staff - great FREE breakfast. FULL KITCHEN (not in every room) Rooms with out the full kitchen are only missing the oven. Perfect for the business traveler or the family on vacation. Good price for what you get in Destin.

Stayed 5 days and didn't want to leave. Great access to facilities and activities. 2 bedroom suite was very nice and the staff was friendly, but we especially enjoyed the other patrons who had sought shelter here from the winter. We could easily stay a few months here.

This is a slam dunk. Have no hesitations in staying at this property. Absolutely clean, well-decorated and well managed. Rooms are so nice, clean and comfortable. Seems very new. Granite countertops in bathroom and kitchen. Mon-Wed offers complimentary beer, wine and light dinner. This was very well attended and had a festive atmosphere...served in the lovely lobby area. All this AND pet friendly too.

The only suggestion I have is to get good directions. The address would not come up on the website, my car's nav system or on my map! It seems miles east of Destin in Sandestin...wherever that is! Maybe one of those locally referred to areas? There is also NO sign for the hotel, except what is on the building...and you don't see it until you've passed the turn in. This is NO reason not to stay there, however.

One other positive thing...you received all the privileges of the Sandestin Resort...a lovely, upscale vacation area. I received a $104/night AAA rate. Just great.
