New Owners

Welcome to Sandestin! Whether you purchased your property here for retirement, for vacation, or as an investment, there is alot to learn about the Community and the different relationships. We hope this website, as well as the links below to the "New Owner Welcome Packet" files help you get acquainted with the SOA and answers many questions you may have.  Start here with the "Welcome Letter".

It is important that Sandestin property owners clearly understand the distinction between the Sandestin Owners Association (SOA) and the Sandestin Golf and Beach Resort/Sandestin Investements, LLC. All property owners, including Sandestin Investements are members of the Sandestin Owners Association. The SOA staff is not employed by Sandestin Golf and Beach Resort or Sandestin Investments, LLC.

The SOA collects an annual assessment from all owners that in no way revert back to the operations of Sandestin Golf and Beach Resort or the amenity program. Your assessments pay for security services, maintaining most common area roadways & drainage, landscape, lakes, sanitation, and the two SOA pools on behalf of all property owners.The two SOA pools are located on Audubon Drive by Linkside and on the corner of Baytowne Village Dr and Baytowne Ave, both are solar heated.

Property within your neighborhood is maintained by your neighborhood association. There are three major management companies that manage the various Sandestin neighborhoods. Your specific management company information can be found on the Association Management page under the Community menu.

Often, the SOA is confused with the SOC, Sandestin Owners Club. It is important to understand that the SOA and the SOC are two very different entities. The various amenities on the Resort such as tennis, bicycle rentals, beach service etc, are owned and operated by Sandestin Investments, LLC. via the Sandestin Owners Club. For information regarding the club memberships and amenity programs, you can contact the Sandestin Owners Club (SOC) office at (850) 267-8208 or 1-800-526-6194.
