This unit is top notch! If I had to guess, I would say it’s the nicest unit in the entire building. It was spotless, which I so appreciate. We loved the use of the golf cart and beach equipment. Thank you for making our first visit to the area a great experience!

Walking in the door for the first time we were blown away! This condo is exactly as it’s described. High end furnishings and a top notch kitchen! Absolutely perfect for 2 couples. We loved the pool areas and the beach was beautiful, as always. The Sandestin community is great, delicious restaurants, shopping and having a golf cart is the only way to travel!!

We cannot say enough wonderful things about our stay here. The condo was perfect in every way. We vacation every year at Westwinds and this was by far the BEST unit we have ever stayed in. From beginning to end, Carla made the experience easy and pleasurable. We thoroughly enjoyed the excellent furnishings and comfort throughout the condo. The owners spared no expense with this unit and it shows in every detail. We will be staying again in this unit and cannot wait to return!

This place is beautiful and very clean!!! (Would love to know what you had in your diffuser)! Lots of extras that you didn’t have to go buy for the week, paper towels, toilet paper, laundry soap, etc. We didn’t cook much but had everything you would need if you wanted to. The beds we’re comfortable and bathrooms were nice! Golf cart was a plus!!! Enjoyed that! Lots of beach stuff to use for the week. Oh, and wine was a nice surprise! Carla was very good about answering my questions very quickly. We met some new friends and hope to come back next year! The only thing we had a problem with is remembering all the codes but we had them down by the end of the week. 😂 The resort is also beautiful and very well kept! Thanks for making our vacation a week we will never forget!

I give this condo 10++++. It was absolutely beautiful and extremely clean. The main bedroom king bed was very comfortable. We had no problems with falling asleep and staying asleep. The location of the condo is close to the outdoor hot tub, pool, and beach. The golf cart was in great condition and fun to drive. The owner thought of everything you could possibly need. I personally loved the bathrooms. They were large and the showers were magnificent. The Westwinds gives off a resort atmosphere. Loved our stay here and we will definitely want to stay in this condo again. Thank you Carla for everything!

The property is everything as advertised. Lovely condo; great location along the white sand beach. The condo is top notch quality, and the property community is friendly. Well appointed and furnished kitchen; everything close at hand. Golf and restaurants are nearby, and the beach is a full-service beach. We completely enjoyed our stay, hosting our son and daughter-in-law. We easily recommend this property and will return if the opportunity presents itself. Reserve and enjoy!

Everything about 'second wind' is really perfect. The condo is gorgeous with so many features and has everything you could possibly need. The location to the pool, beach, restaurants, and shopping was wonderful! The golf cart made our vacation even more special with the memories we made with our girls. The hosts are so organized and have a binder with clear instructions to access everything smoothly, and Carla was responsive if we needed her. It's hard to put into words how luxurious and dreamy this place truly is. Don't give it a second thought....book it, you will be so glad you did!

Don’t doubt yourself if you want to book Second Wind. It is better than advertised. I have never rented a place so clean and top notch in furnishings, appliances and details including the way it smelled!! While oceanfront the condo does sit back off the beach enclosed in palm trees and behind the pool and hot tub. Golf cart is fantastic and you may never want to leave the Sandestin confines because it’s huge. We played pickle ball and rented umbrellas for the beach which were economical for the whole week. It’s gets crowded on the beach so rent them early to get front row. Thanks Carla for this wonderful family trip!

We are in Sandestin several times a year, and have been for 25+ years. This place would be in the top 3 of all the places we've stayed.
First, Carla, the property owner couldn't have been any quicker to respond to any questions, she couldn't have been more professional, and she couldn't have been more willing to make sure that our stay was perfect. And it was. Thank you Carla!
As for the place, it was immaculate! Extremely clean, updated, comfortable beds, excellent layout, beautiful view, great location, and the bonus - A GOLF CART! We will definitely be staying here again!

I can’t say enough wonderful things about this property. The photographs and the description are nice but the unit is so much more beautiful in person and has everything you could possibly need! If you can’t be happy here, you can’t be happy anywhere! Property owner was so accessible and responsive if we needed her, which wasn’t much because all instructions are clearly spelled out for you. Book this property now—you will not regret it!

This was our first family trip and I could not have selected a better property. The condo was exactly as started- it was fully updated and beautiful. The location was absolutely prefect- easy to leave the resort and getting down to the beach and pool was quick. A dream for parents with small children. If you are considering this unit- just book it you will not regret it.

Property was fantastic. It was exactly as described, in fact even better. Clean, beautifully decorated, and all the amenities you'd ever need.
The location to the beach, restaurants, and shopping was perfect. The golf cart made moving throughout the community so simple. Couldn't ask for more in a property or hosts.

We had the most amazing stay at this beautiful condo. Everything was perfect and immaculate!!! From the decor, to the cleanliness, to all the extra touches. We did not need anything. Carla, the host has thought of everything to make our stay here beyond excellent. We have been staying at the Sandestin Resort every Spring Break for the last 10 years, and this was our best stay yet. Easy 2 minute walk to the beautiful white sand beach. The golf cart was a plus. Westwinds and Carla’s condo are absolutely gorgeous. We will definitely be returning and renting this condo again in the near future.

This VRBO lives up to its name, “Second Wind.” It is precisely what my husband and I felt after a glorious stay in this immaculate condo.
There were no stones left unturned in this piece of paradise. The stunning kitchen was well equipped with all high-end, state-of-the-art appliances and every convenience imaginable. The furnishings throughout provided a feeling of comfort and warmth.
The luxurious and comfortable feeling carried into the bedrooms with the incredibly soft, high-quality bed linens, gorgeous decor and picture-perfect views from the windows. The bathrooms are beautiful, bright and modern spaces — supplied with lovely quality toiletries.
The views from inside the home are stunning. My husband and I especially enjoyed the breathtaking views from the beautifully appointed balcony. Eating breakfast and having cocktails outside made this space hard to leave for any outings. Still, when we did, we thoroughly enjoyed the well-manicured property, sparkling pool, hot tub and absolutely gorgeous beach!!!
Beach towels, chairs and a golf cart were all added bonuses! 5 stars 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 for this luxury condo aren’t even enough for this gem! Without hesitation, I would highly recommend this superb vacation spot.

From the time you walk through the door, it feels luxurious. The first thing I noticed was the lovely scent of florals, which carried through the whole condo. The beautifully updated kitchen with the nicest appliances, marbled countertops, seasonings stocked, along with plenty of dish soap, etc to get you through your stay. There was a bottle of wine with a note that was so thoughtful and personal. The bedrooms were my favorite part. I loved the beautiful decor and large bed! It all flowed so well. The automatic shades were such a nice touch. Every part of this condo is something I could only dream about. We cannot wait to come back!

"Second Wind" is the definition of luxury, and checks every box for a wonderful getaway! Beautiful interior design, steps away from the heated pool (and more importantly, a tiki bar!), access to a private beach, and a golf cart -- what more could you possibly ask for?
Even before you arrive, Carla, the owner, makes you feel welcome in her home. She was able to answer every question we had about the area, and went out of her way to make sure we had the best vacation possible.
Immediately upon walking in the front door, you'll notice that every detail in this home is high-end. From the professional-grade appliances in the kitchen, to the linens and towels, no aspect of this design went overlooked. One of the days we were there it rained, and they even had books and board games on hand. It's truly unlike any other VRBO that I've stayed in!
Logistically, parking was very easy in the West Winds lot. That said...we never got back in our car the entire trip because the golf cart made exploring the resort so fun and easy! Perfect for getting over to the tennis courts.
If you're lucky enough to have stumbled upon this property, book it immediately. With so many properties managed by impersonal and difficult rental companies, this owner-managed VRBO was an absolute gem. I'm already planning my next stay!!!

Everything about this place was great. Plenty of room for everyone. Wonderful kitchen with plenty of dishes, glasses, cookware, towels, etc. All appliances are far better than you expect to work with on vacation (and maybe better than what I have in my own home!). You can also walk to the village if you want to dine out or do a little shopping. We played golf and enjoyed some tennis while we were there. Beds are extremely comfortable and our teens loved having their own bunk room. Wonderful experience for us and I highly recommend!

Wow, what an incredible week! The penthouse was such a wonderful place to stay while on vacation with our family. Plenty of space for everyone to spread out and comfy! Loved the large kitchen and 2 dining areas. Plus the island had seating, so we all had space to sit for meals. The rooms are large and bathrooms spacious. The terrace was large with plenty of outdoor seating and we had amazing sunset views as well as being able to see the fireworks from Harbortowne Warf. There are restaurants with live music within walking distance, and ice cream shops, coffee shops, etc. Bikes are close and available for rent, we also went on a jog around the property. The beach shuttle picks up close by, but we preferred to drive and there was plenty of parking by the beach entrance. Ate lunch at the Hilton’s outdoor restaurant, was great! The whole experience was top notch and I would highly recommend! Carla was great with communicating and we felt comfortable working with her and trusted her advise for tips for our trip.

The only thing that was missing is making your own memories in this fabulous condo! Well-appointed was the interior, kitchen, and living space for our family. What you see is what you get! The terrace was used for intimate gatherings where games were played, conversations of laughter had, and the exceptional view absorbed in awe in the morning and at sunset is not to miss. Location can't be beat. Carla made the process from the time of booking to check-in/out effortless. This place is worth bookmarking for a future return.
