Sandestin® Golf and Beach Resort: Your Insider Access

A self-contained, 2,400-acre paradise where the car stays parked and the resort lifestyle begins.

Navigating the 2,400 acres of Sandestin by golf cart is the best way to experience the resort lifestyle. As your Sandestin resort insider, Gibson Beach Rentals specializes in the "Inside the Gates" experience in Miramar Beach. It is a seamless world where you can zip from your breakfast table to a championship tee box, then on to the beach, without ever hitting a main road. We focus on residences in Miramar Beach that place you in the heart of the action, giving you a savvy alternative to the corporate hotels. Here, you get more space, the privacy of a gated community, and the local expertise of a team that has been on the island for over two decades.

Four Resorts in One

Sandestin is a sprawling sanctuary, and knowing which "pocket" fits your style is key. Whether you want to be steps from the Gulf or overlooking the marina, we curate access to the resort’s four distinct neighborhoods:

• The Beachfront: Zero-commute access to the sugar-white sands and emerald waters.

• The Village: Stay in the pulse of the resort, just a short stroll from the dining, nightlife, and family festivals at The Village of Baytowne Wharf.

• Linkside: Many of our Bayside villas include a complimentary golf cart for easy resort access. 

The Sandestin "Frictionless" Perks

While the hotels offer rooms, we offer a lifestyle. Staying with your "Resort Insider" means you have the keys to:

• The Marina & Baytowne Wharf: Spend your evenings at the resort’s walkable hub for dining, shopping, and live entertainment on the Choctawhatchee Bay.

• Tennis & Pickleball: Access world-class facilities and pro-led clinics to keep your game sharp, available with an access fee. 

• The Tram & Trail System: Even if your residence doesn't have a private golf cart, the resort’s dedicated tram system ensures you’re never more than a few minutes from any amenity. Be sure to check the property description to see if your rental includes Tram access.

Master the Resort with a Local Legacy Team

From the high-rise views of Westwinds to the family-friendly villas of Northshore, our Sandestin collection is managed by locals who know every tram route and shortcut in the resort. We bypass the big-box "service fees" to give you the savvy local rate for the exact same "Inside the Gates" experience.
