Sandestin, located between Choctawhatchee Bay and the Gulf of Mexico, is a resort and residential Miramar Beach neighborhood with a marina-lined waterfront and golf-course greens. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around The Village of Baytowne Wharf, where brick walkways, waterfront patios, and boutique storefronts frame a day-to-night promenade. Architecture ranges from coastal cottages and low-rise condos to Mediterranean-influenced villas set along lagoons and fairways. Baytowne Wharf’s events lawn and amphitheater shape the social calendar, while the marina sets a salt-air rhythm for paddleboards and charter boats. Raven Golf Club and Burnt Pine Golf Club define the landscape with long, manicured corridors of pines and sand. Grand Boulevard adds a polished retail-and-dining counterpoint just outside the gates.
