Eric, the home owner was very good at communicating details we needed for our stay! I appreciated the reminders.
This adorable three bedroom, three bathroom home is located in a private gated community near Destin. It was clean and had all the amenities for our stay. The view from the balcony was beautiful at night with the sun hitting the water!
It was relaxing to walk the neighborhood, swim in the three private pools available, ride the golf cart provided to the beach with easy access within the resort neighborhood!
Grilling at night on the screened in porch was very comforting! There were also restaurants and shopping within the resort as well as within close proximity!
TVs are located in each bedroom and a washer and dryer are available in the home as well. He provides beach towels and beach accessories you can use while enjoying the pool or beach.
We enjoyed our stay and look forward to staying in one of Eric’s homes for any future traveling adventures!
The home was magnificent and our host even more so. Very attentive to every need . The home was very clean and spacious we would absolutely stay there again .
Highly recommend the 1942 Boardwalk Dr property for your family vacation in Sandestin! This is our second time and we’ll be back again. It is spacious, clean, and stocked with all the amenities (e.g. – grill, laundry detergent, dish soap, toiletries, etc). The kids bunk room is a huge hit. The (2) 6-seater golf carts are the added bonus. We used them to go to the beach, Baytowne Wharf, grocery store, shopping, etc. Eric is there to assist you when needed and is excellent with communication/information.
We just finished our second stay at Eric’s Baypine home. As with last time, it was extremely clean. The home is in an excellent location convenient to beaches and our favorite restaurants. The beds were very comfortable. The Internet and smart TV set up was great. Eric is a very attentive host who provided a lot of excellent information on the home and local area. We are already planning our next stay.
This is the 3rd year we have booked the home at 1942 Boardwalk for our family vacation. We have loved it every time! It is spacious and has plenty of room for everyone. The home is always stocked with items we need, i.e. laundry detergent, dish soap, and toiletries in every bathroom. We love the home comes with 2-6 seater golf carts which is important for our family to navigate the community and get to the beach separately if the need arises. I highly recommend this place for your vacation in Sandestin!!
