Luxury Bayside Sandestin, Beach Access, Golf Cart
8616 Magnolia Bay Lane | Sandestin® Golf and Beach Resort
Magnolia Bay is the perfect resort getaway—lush greenery, golf course and lake views, and an easy walk to the marina, tennis courts, and the Village of Baytowne Wharf™ for dining, shopping, and entertainment!
This spacious 3-bedroom, 3.5-bath villa sleeps 6, featuring two luxurious king suites, a queen guest room, and a complimentary 4-passenger golf cart. The open living area is great for relaxing, with a sparkling clean kitchen boasting granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, and seating for 6. Soaring ceilings, travertine floors, and scenic patio views of Baytowne Golf Course make this home a true standout.
The first-floor owner’s suite offers a king bed, blackout drapes, flat-screen TV, and en-suite bath with double vanity and walk-in shower. Upstairs, the second king suite features a private bath with a tub, separate shower, and walk-in closet, while the queen suite has its own spacious full bath. Washer/dryer sets on both floors add convenience.
Catch Baytowne’s fireworks right from your porch, swim at the nearby community pool, or ride the golf cart to beach sunsets and nightly events at the Village. Don’t miss nearby gems like Jolee Island and miles of resort bike paths!

This was the second year we stayed here and we booked for next year again! Love it!
Magnolia Bay was nice, but unit could use some work
We have stayed at this unit before in 2020, and it felt much nicer and fresher back there. The unit is a little dated now, and there are some maintenance issues that could be addressed. Multiple lightbulbs were out. Some light stains on furniture. Bedding was OK, but could’ve used some extra pillows and a comforter. You would think with the charges for cleaning and maintenance, some of that could go towards better maintaining the property. Overall, it was a good stay, just needs a little more TLC.

Reviewer Comments:
Overall the home was well maintained other than the washing machines. The primary suite washing machine had a horrible smell to it and appears to not have been cleaned out in quite some time. We took a towel and wiped out a lot of dark colored dirt from inside the door. Even with bleaching out the machine the odor remained and it even transferred to our clothes. I would not offer the washing machine as an amenity unless someone keeps it clean. I have a video if you’d like. The only other issue was the painters doing work on the house. Not a problem, but we did not know they were going to be there for 3 of our vacation days. They taped up over the door and we had to move the vehicles a few times for them to clean the driveway and garage doors. They also had clear view into the home upstairs through the windows which made getting dressed in the bedroom impossible.

Our stay was fabulous. This is the second time renting from this home location and we love it. We know just where the pool is we know just where the entertainment is and restaurants. It is essentially located perfectly to everything, even the beach. We will try to come again in the fall maybe... The beds and comforters were so comfy towels were excellent. The showers were so nice. The furniture was very upscale! Everything was very clean and professionally placed for our using!!! Thank you so much for making our stay fabulous once again!!!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. Fantastic central location to all the amenities. Pool is located just across the street and is beautiful. The home is very comfortable and has large windows across the back which provide a beautiful view of the golf course. The kitchen is stocked with everything you need and more. I’ve stayed in many rentals and this kitchen was by far stocked the best. Arrival and departure process is very easy. I’d give it a 10/10. Will be back next year!

Reviewer Comments:
Amazing house with a great location. Steps away from Baytowne and a 5 min golf cart ride to the beach. I would highly recommend this place!
The property was very clean, perfect location, and very spacious. We were able to view the fireworks from the back patio. The furniture and beds were comfortable and the golf cart was perfect to get around the property and to the beach. We will definitely stay again.
The house has a great location to the swimming pool, dining facilities, and entertainment. The golf cart is an added bonus for transportation to the beach as well as touring the various communities at the resort. We had a great vacation and would recommend this property to others!
The house was beautiful and very comfortable. I would stay there again.
Loved staying on the Sandestin resort. It was beautiful and so many things to do within the community. Love having the golf cart to take around the resort. My family of 4 loved the house. Plenty of room and and it was very comfortable. I would choose to stay here again.
Comfortable. Lovely view. Great patio overlooking lake and golf course. Great location to marina and restaurants. Private driveway and garage. Short walk to a neighborhood pool.
My husband I truly enjoyed this property. We stayed for Christmas, and we could not have rented a better place. It was clean, comfortable and stylish. It was large, we only used the downstairs with the master bedroom, but the upstairs was very nice as well. Golf cart was great, very peppy, battery runs down fairly fast, but we were always ok. Would recommend this property to everyone.
The house has everything needed and is in a great location. Can't beat sitting on the porch in the morning drinking coffee and watching a little golf. Golf cart was perfect for going to the wharf, getting groceries at Publix and loading up to ride over to the beach. Plenty of beach accessories in the garage as well. Highly recommend.
