The snorkelers in your group will love the new artificial reef called Seahorse Reef, deployed in 2017\. Located just 715 feet out from the Topsail Hill Preserve State Park access, it is becoming a haven for sea life. Each of the 4 snorkeling reefs comprises 40 acres of permitted sea bottom. The Seahorse Reef is at a depth of 13-18 feet. We strongly recommend that snorkelers use a kayak, paddleboard, or other flotation device when visiting the snorkel reefs. Sea conditions can and do change quickly and often. Enjoy!

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy

#### Summer in Sandestin 

Overall nice property. It would be nice to have tv remote instructions on site..3 remotes to use and which one for channel change , volume control? Etc. Also location of lockbox for key is not readily visible at night. Perhaps intentional.
