"My favorite stay when I come to Destin. I love to stay at SanDestin because of its great location (by the beach) and amenities, if you want to go to the beach you can stay in the Luau rooms, if you prefer being close to restaurants, bars, golf and tennis courts you might choose to stay by the Marina in the Baytown area."
