Bring Your Best Friend to the Beach: Pet-Friendly Stays at Sandestin
At Sandestin Golf and Beach Resort, we believe every member of the family deserves a vacation—including the four-legged ones. That’s why we’re proud to offer a wide selection of pet-friendly accommodations, so you never have to choose between a beach getaway and your best furry companion.
But don’t just take it from us—take it from Sandy, Sandestin’s very own Director of Pet Services! This furry friend knows a thing or two about living the good life at the beach. Sandy spends her days testing out the best walking trails, sniffing out the coziest spots, and ensuring that every pet who visits Sandestin feels right at home.
“As Director of Pet Services, it’s my job to make sure my fellow furry friends have the paw-fect stay,” says Sandy. “From long walks by the bay to treats from our pet-friendly patios, there’s no shortage of tail-wagging fun here!”
Why Sandestin Is a Paws-Down Favorite for Pets
Sandestin offers more than just a place to stay—it’s a lifestyle destination for people and pets alike. With 2,400 acres of walkable resort grounds, you and your pup can explore miles of sidewalks, trails, and green spaces. From early morning strolls by the bay to evening walks through The Village of Baytowne Wharf, every day brings new scents, sights, and adventures.
Baytowne Wharf itself is a pet-welcoming haven, with many restaurants offering pet-friendly patios, water bowls, and plenty of belly rubs from friendly staff. Grab a coffee at Caffe Siena, enjoy waterfront dining at Hammerhead’s, or find a quiet spot near the lagoon to soak in the views. The resort’s atmosphere is casual, friendly, and full of wag-worthy moments.
Sandy’s personal favorite? “Chasing lizards and making new friends in Baytowne. It’s a ruff job, but someone’s gotta do it.”
Comfort, Convenience & Coastal Charm
Our pet-friendly one-bedroom units are perfect for couples, solo travelers, or small families traveling with pets. Each unit offers all the amenities and comfort you'd expect from a Sandestin stay—fully furnished spaces, convenient kitchenettes, and easy access to the best of the resort. Some are located near golf courses or the bay, while others offer quick access to dining and shopping in the village.
Whether you're here for a long weekend or a full vacation, these accommodations make it easy to settle in, stretch out, and enjoy the Gulf Coast at your own pace—with your pet right by your side.
“I recommend a nap in the sunshine after a morning walk,” Sandy adds. “Trust me, it’s the ultimate vacation move.”
