Located among our quiet neighbors in Bayside's Harbour Point community (absolutely NO HOUSE PARTIES; at least one 25+ year old adult must be staying), Rising Joy is comfortably decorated with new furniture (sofa bed and loveseat), paint, accessories, bed & bath linens, new mattress, a newly appointed kitchen, and even new windows for outstanding Bayside views. Everything feels fresh, clean & cozy. The condo provides CAREFREE CHECK-IN via our convenient electronic door locks...so, there's absolutely no long check-in process thru a property manager's office.

While you relax on the back deck, enjoy your amazing views of Choctawhatchee Bay, Sandestin Marina and Baytowne Wharf. In the lake just off the deck, turtles paddle up, hoping that you will toss them a saltine cracker. Watch golfers play #14 Links. Walk to the private pool just steps away.

Oh, the included golf cart...you're about 5 or 6 minutes away from everything on the resort (including Publix Market @ Grand Boulevard)! Explore Beachside, Bayside, Lakeside and the Village at Baytowne Wharf as you leisurely drive past picturesque lakes (yes you may fish our lakes...catch & release, of course), and through beautiful neighborhoods. Best advice - jump in the cart and explore all of the resort.

Cruise Beachside through the convenient underground tunnel to Sandestin's sugar white beaches, dining, and in season, Tiki Bar, beach combing, parasailing, Wave Runners, a basketball court and miniature golf..

Bayside, hit 'em straight at one of Sandestin's golf courses (*see more info below). Chill out at Harbour Point's private pool or the SOA's two other pools (heated in season) - the new 2025 pool on Audubon Drive; or the 2023 Aquatic Center pool at the corner of Baytowne Village Drive and Baytowne Ave.

Bayside at the Marina, you'll find Sandestin's world-class tennis facility; bicycle, Waverunner, paddle boat & kayak rentals, and a Tree House for the kids. Want to feel like a local?...Grab a drink and a meal Marina Bar & Grill.

When you’re ready to experience the shopping and dining at Grand Boulevard and the Village of Baytowne Wharf, it’s all a quick golf cart trip away. http://www.sandestin.com/dining.

Inside the condo, maybe stretch out for a nap on the comfy sofa (it's also a queen-size sleeper) or on the Master BR king-size bed; find a favorite television program in the LR or BR; get everyone together and have movie night on the 50" flat screen TV.
