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 seabed. 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!

Lovely home. Great location to Pool and short ride on golf cart to beach. Enjoyed our stay. All questions were answered very quickly. Would stay here again.
The condo was in fantastic shape, extremely clean, and very comfortable for our family of 5. The best vacation rental I have ever stayed at, hands down— kitchen was fully stocked, everything was in great shape, and all the amenities were delightful. Management was easy to work with and even let us check in early! Would absolutely stay at this home or any other RealJoy managed home again.
We really enjoyed our stay at the Thirsty Turtle property! It was really spacious and quiet, the pool was right behind us and the golf cart included made getting back and forth from the beach easy and enjoyable! I was able to play the Links course during our stay, but look forward to playing the other 3 courses during a future stay at this property!
This property is fantastic and in a perfect location. The accommodations were great and the golf cart is first class. We will try and stay in this property again next year.

Family of 6 - great neighborhood. Felt so safe and the beach was great. Highly recommend getting the golf cart if you plan to visit Baytowne or the beach - so convenient and easy to find parking. Management company was super responsive to needs in the property but had an issue with the golf cart and never heard back about it so we didn’t get to use it our last day which was a bummer. Overall though, would stay here again and recommend to others!
Beautiful home with all the amenities. The master bathroom is gorgeous and love the screened in patio. Pool was nice when the beach was too crowded.
The rental golf cart is a must for the beach, and for exploring the entire resort!
Great stay, home was beautiful. Looks exactly like pictures. Listing says 4 bedrooms but it's a 3 bed with loft with beds, however in the description it explains. Nevertheless this was great stay and great location. Will rebook.
We came to the area for a destination wedding weekend and had a wonderful stay. The location was perfect as the wedding was on the beach at the Hilton. It was a short drive with the golf cart! We also enjoyed all the options for meals close by. Had we been there longer I would have taken advantage of the shopping opportunities too.
The home was fabulous! Everything was clean. The decor was lovely and minimal, yet there were a few extra touches to make it feel homey. Sitting on the patio was nice and we enjoyed having a few of the pool, which was not too busy given the season.
I would absolutely stay there again. It was so easy checking in as well as out.
Overall excellent quality experience Except the housekeeping is little off they can do a bit better.House is perfect as listed and great views, and layout . Golfcart is a plusWill definitely recommend and visit again!!!
Danielle was a great help with the property management questions. The condo was fully equipped and very clean! It was so convenient to the beach and Baytown Warf which the children enjoyed emensley and the 6 seater golf cart was the icing on the cake! Thank you also for the early check in and beach chairs and sand toys that were available!
Beautiful home. Very clean and well maintained. We really enjoyed our stay. The only negatives for us were, first there are no grill. Second, the mattress in master bedroom was very uncomfortable. Probably needs to be replaced. We enjoyed the cart to get around. We still would recommend this property..
First time visitors in Sandestin for 4 of us and the other couple are repeat visitors to the area.
The Thirsty Turtle pics delivered and seeing the place and having everything available was amazing! The six person golf cart made it easy to get around the complex and nearby shops and restaurants as well as the beach! I can’t wait to go back again!
