THE FIRST THING YOU NOTICE IS THE LIGHT, soft golden rays stretching across the Gulf, sparkling on the water. The sand is cool beneath your feet as you walk down the aisle, the gentle waves keeping time with your heartbeat. This is the start of forever, and the setting feels just right. For couples who want a wedding that feels both effortless and unforgettable, Sandestin Golf and Beach Resort is more than a venue. It’s a place to celebrate, to create, and for many, the perfect backdrop for the next chapter of their love story. At Sandestin and Hotel Effie, every detail feels like it was made for this.

DALTON & RYLIE’S STORY For Dalton and Rylie, the choice was clear. “We wanted everything in one place to make it simpler for guests,” Rylie explains. “One of the major reasons the Beach Club caught our eye was because it had this ability. We were able to have our dream beach ceremony while having a beautiful reception just steps away. The reception felt completely unique from our ceremony while also feeling connected and cohesive.” The Beach Club delivered exactly what they imagined—a ceremony framed by the sugar-white sand and emerald waters of the Gulf, followed by a seamless transition into cocktail hour and a lively reception. “The whole event space, from the beach to the cocktail area, to the reception space, flowed perfectly, and our guests still rave about it,” Dalton says.

VENUES THAT TELL YOUR STORY Dalton and Rylie are not alone. Couples from across the country come to Sandestin for its variety of settings, each offering a distinctive personality. Want a romantic Gulf-front backdrop? The Beach Club is unmatched. Prefer timeless sophistication? The Burnt Pine Clubhouse, with its manicured lawns and luxurious interiors, feels like a garden romance novel come to life. For grandeur, the Grand Sandestin Ballroom dazzles with chandeliers and space for large celebrations. The Bayview Terrace and Grand Lawn, meanwhile, offer sweeping waterfront views and open-air charm, not to mention the elevated experience and breathtaking views of Ara rooftop at Hotel Effie. There’s no one-size-fits-all at Sandestin. Every couple is different, and it’s essential to help them find the space that feels like their story.

Cover Story

CULINARY HIGHLIGHTS TO REMEMBER Ask Dalton and Rylie what guests remember most about their big day, and their answer comes instantly: the food. “During cocktail hour, we had passed hors d’oeuvres. The bacon-wrapped scallops were absolutely phenomenal!” Dalton recalls. “At our reception, we had chef-attended stations that guests loved, including a pasta action station with a variety of pastas, proteins, and toppings. “Guests were able to customize and watch their dish come together right in front of them, which made it such a fun and memorable experience. We also included displays of assorted pizza and salad, which reflected our personal favorites as a couple.” For Dalton, who jokingly calls himself a pizza connoisseur, the quality was an unexpected delight. But for their guests, the interactive dining experience made the evening unforgettable. 14

Hotel Effie Sandestin, couples can host groups of all sizes. And when guests aren’t celebrating, they’re savoring all the resort has to offer with spa treatments, championship golf, sunset cruises, boutique shopping, and the lively Village of Baytowne Wharf. At Sandestin, weddings naturally extend beyond a single evening, evolving into weekends or even longer, filled with laughter, exploration, and memories to last a lifetime. Many couples arrive focused on their wedding day but leave with an unforgettable wedding week.

MORE THAN A MOMENT

The whole day was exactly what we hoped it would be,” Rylie says. “Looking back, it felt effortless, like every detail had been thought of for us. It gave us the freedom to just enjoy every second with each other and with the people we love most.” Dalton shares, “Our food was the absolute highlight of our big day. I still have guests complimenting it months later. Many said it was the best wedding food they’ve ever had!” he exclaims. This balance of sophistication and personality is what makes Sandestin’s culinary program so special. Couples can design menus that reflect their tastes, whether that’s Gulf-inspired seafood, gourmet small plates, elegant plated dinners, or playful late-night bites. Every menu is crafted by the resort’s seasoned culinary team with fresh ingredients, impeccable service, and presentation designed to impress.

PLANNING WITH HEART Behind the beautiful décor and unforgettable menu lies another cornerstone of Sandestin weddings: the planning team. “They were beyond helpful with making our day perfect,” Rylie says. “They took our overall vision and broke it down piece by piece to make sure everything was what we wanted. They gave me great

visuals of how the event space would look and kept everything on time—even with our rowdy bridal party.” The team’s attention to detail extended to every corner of the day. They managed logistics with professionalism, anticipated needs before they arose, and allowed Dalton and Rylie to focus entirely on the joy of the celebration. “I truly believe they were one of the most important parts of making our day so perfect,” Rylie shared.

A DESTINATION EXPERIENCE For Dalton and Rylie, one of the biggest perks of Sandestin was the ability to create not just a wedding, but a full destination experience. They loved being just steps away from accommodations for their wedding party and out-oftown guests, which made the weekend seamless and allowed everyone to enjoy the celebration without stress. With more than 1,000 accommodations ranging from beachside condos and spacious villas to luxury homes and the chic

The best weddings leave a legacy, and Sandestin weddings often do just that. Couples return year after year to relive their happiest memories … sometimes for anniversaries, sometimes for family vacations, and sometimes just for a quiet moment on the beach where it all began. For Dalton and Rylie, their wedding wasn’t just about vows exchanged on the sand or the feast that followed. It was about the feeling of ease, joy, and connection that Sandestin made possible. “The whole day was exactly what we hoped it would be,” Rylie says. “Looking back, it felt effortless, like every detail had been thought of for us. It gave us the freedom to just enjoy every second with each other and with the people we love most.”

BEGIN THE JOURNEY Every couple dreams of a wedding that feels true to them—a day filled with beauty, joy, and meaning. At Sandestin Golf and Beach Resort, those dreams don’t just come true; they’re elevated into memories that last a lifetime. Whether you envision a barefoot walk down the beach, a garden party beneath the stars, an elevated rooftop experience, or a glamorous ballroom reception, Sandestin’s venues, planners, and culinary team will bring your vision to life. Rylie said it best: “Our guests still talk about it. They say it was the best wedding they’ve ever been to. And for us, it was perfect.” Start planning your dream wedding today at Sandestin.com/weddings. Because when it comes to your forever, some places are simply made for this.

PET-FRIENDLY

MADE FOR TAILS, TRAILS, AND TIMELESS VACATIONS By MELISSA WATSON

At Sandestin Golf and Beach Resort and Hotel Effie Sandestin, we believe vacations are better when every family member comes along, including the four-legged ones. That’s why select accommodations in Sandestin’s rental program and designated rooms at Hotel Effie are proudly pet friendly. When it comes to sunshine, resort strolls, and memory-making, your pets were made for this, too. A PLACE MADE FOR PETS Spanning 2,400 acres between the Gulf and the bay, Sandestin offers endless room to roam. Guests who book through Sandestin.com in a participating pet-friendly unit can enjoy more than just a place to stay. They’ll discover a resort designed with tails and trails in mind. Imagine morning walks along tree-lined pathways, afternoons at designated dog parks, and golden-hour strolls along the marina. With so many open-air experiences, it’s no wonder pets feel right at home here. Hotel Effie extends that same warm welcome, blending boutique luxury with thoughtful pet touches and amenities. From check-in to turndown, Hotel Effie ensures your pet enjoys a stay as effortless as yours. And with easy access to Sandestin’s resort-wide activities, you’re never far from your next shared adventure.

ADVENTURES MADE FOR TOGETHERNESS

MOMENTS MADE FOR JOY Life with pets is full of simple joys, and Sandestin makes those joys unforgettable. Grab a latte while your pup enjoys a whipped cream “pup cup” at Marina Bar & Grill. Take a kayak out on calm bay waters, and let your best friend feel the breeze. Or settle into a shaded spot after a day of exploring, tails wagging as the sun sets over Choctawhatchee Bay. Every moment here is a reminder that vacations aren’t just for you; they’re for the ones who love you most.

A LIFE PERFECTLY PLACED Of course, the magic doesn’t have to end when the vacation does. Many of our guests fall in love not only with the resort, but with the lifestyle. Through The Agency Northwest Florida, visitors can explore ownership opportunities that make this pet-friendly paradise part of everyday life. After all, what could be better than giving your family, furry friends included, a forever place by the coast? 18

WINTER-SPRING 2026

018_PetFriendly_26SLWS Folder-JE.indd 18

For active duos, Sandestin’s bike-friendly paths and expansive green spaces invite adventure at every turn. If your pup loves people, head to The Village of Baytowne Wharf where outdoor dining, lively events, and pet-friendly patios create the perfect scene for social butterflies … two- and four-legged alike. For quieter companions, sunrise walks along the coastline offer peace and space to soak in the natural beauty of the Emerald Coast. Whether playful or peaceful, every personality finds its match at Sandestin.

MADE FOR YOU. MADE FOR THEM. Vacations at Sandestin and Hotel Effie aren’t about leaving anyone behind. They’re about bringing the whole family together in a setting made for connection, discovery, and joy. With select pet-friendly accommodations, coastal adventures, and heartfelt amenities, every stay proves that this place, this moment, and this life were truly made for all of you.

his season at Ovide, the signature restaurant at Hotel Effie Sandestin, dining becomes more than a meal—it’s an experience. Blending Gulf Coast flavors with beloved Southern traditions, Ovide’s menu is rooted in seasonality, sustainability, and freshness. Guests can enjoy refined à la carte offerings, the nightly Pre-Sunset Pre-Fixe from 5 to 6:30 p.m., or the comforting Sunday Fried Chicken Supper with all the fixings and banana cream pie. With its elegant yet approachable atmosphere, Ovide invites diners to celebrate food that tells a story—one that Executive Chef John Engle brings to life with every plate.

Q: OVIDE HAS SUCH A UNIQUE PLACE IN THE LOCAL DINING SCENE. HOW WOULD YOU DESCRIBE YOUR VISION FOR THE RESTAURANT? A: My vision is to create a dining experience that feels both elevated and welcoming. Ovide isn’t just about food on the plate—it’s about telling the Gulf Coast story through Southern traditions, fresh local ingredients, and a balance of refinement and comfort. I want every visit to feel like a discovery— whether it’s a new flavor or a familiar dish presented in a fresh way.

waters, and people who make what we do possible. Q: THE NEW PRE-SUNSET PRE-FIXE AND SUNDAY SUPPER ARE EXCITING ADDITIONS. WHAT INSPIRED THESE EXPERIENCES? A: The Pre-Fixe is about accessibility—it lets guests enjoy a curated tasting of the season in a relaxed way, modeled after “pretheater” menus I’ve seen succeed elsewhere. And, of course, the sunset is our greatest attraction. Sunday Supper is about tradition and togetherness. Fried chicken, hearty sides, and pie bring people back to the table, which is at the heart of Ovide. Q: WHEN A GUEST DINES AT OVIDE, WHAT DO YOU HOPE THEY TAKE AWAY FROM THE EXPERIENCE? A: I hope they feel a sense of connection to the ingredients, to the region, and to each other. Food should spark conversation and create memories. If guests leave feeling like they’ve experienced something delicious and meaningful, we’ve succeeded. Q: YOU’VE TRAINED IN CLASSIC TECHNIQUES AND WORKED ACROSS SOME INCREDIBLE KITCHENS. HOW HAS THAT SHAPED THE WAY YOU COOK TODAY? A: My background as a saucier and my experience in Southern and French kitchens gave me discipline and technique. More importantly, it taught me to respect ingredients and let them shine. At Ovide, I combine that foundation with creativity and seasonality, so our menus stay rooted yet innovative.

Q: YOU’VE BUILT A REPUTATION AS A MENTOR AND LEADER IN THE KITCHEN. HOW DO YOU FOSTER CREATIVITY AND GROWTH WITHIN YOUR TEAM? A: I encourage my team to bring ideas forward, within the discipline and consistency a kitchen demands. Their opinions matter, and we respect each other. That balance allows us to grow while maintaining high standards.

Q: FOR GUESTS WHO MAY NOT HAVE DINED AT OVIDE IN A WHILE, WHY SHOULD THEY COME BACK NOW? A: Our menu is always evolving. If it’s been a while, you’ll find new flavors, new dishes, and a refreshed energy in the dining room. Guests will see how we honor tradition while pushing things forward. Q: LOOKING AHEAD TO THE NEXT SIX MONTHS, WHAT CAN DINERS EXPECT TO SEE AT OVIDE? A: We’re excited to showcase summer ingredients with playful twists on Gulf Coast classics. My chef de cuisine and I are also developing the autumn/ winter menu. In fact, the nightly specials you see soon may be a preview of what’s to come. From seasonal menus to Sunday traditions, Ovide continues to redefine Gulf Coast dining. Join Chef John Engle this season, and discover why every bite tells a story.

Q: OVIDE IS KNOWN FOR ITS SEASONAL MENUS AND COMMITMENT TO SOURCING LOCALLY. WHY IS THAT SO IMPORTANT TO YOU? A: Seasonality ensures the food tastes its best, and sourcing locally supports our farmers and fisheries. When you know where ingredients come from, you can cook with integrity. It’s about honoring the land, (855) 635-3991 SANDESTIN.COM

CLUBS OF SANDESTIN

T THE CLUBS OF SANDESTIN:

MADE FOR THIS LIFESTYLE By OLIVIA MOORE

WINTER-SPRING 2026

SANDESTIN LIVING

he Clubs of Sandestin were made for those who seek more than just amenities; they’re made for moments that matter. From championship golf at Burnt Pine Country Club to the fastpaced growth of pickleball at the Tennis & Pickleball Center, the clubs create a lifestyle where sport, connection, and celebration all come together. Each club is designed to deliver experiences that feel effortless yet extraordinary ... because life at Sandestin is made for this.

BURNT PINE: THE CROWN JEWEL Burnt Pine Country Club stands as one of the resort’s most iconic experiences. Known for its championship golf and a community that thrives on camaraderie, Burnt Pine offers more than a course; it offers connection. Weekly Club Nights, golf outings, and holiday celebrations keep the calendar vibrant, while signature events like Sunset Soirées pair cocktails and live music with the unmatched views of the course. Members also enjoy access to a fitness center,

special golf privileges across Sandestin’s three other courses, and guest privileges that extend the Burnt Pine experience to family and friends.

CULINARY & COMMUNITY TRADITIONS Burnt Pine is also a stage for culinary excellence. Bi-monthly wine dinners and ticketed community events bring members and guests together over acclaimed wineries and chef-curated menus. The club’s wine locker program has become a favorite among members, providing an elegant way to store and share curated collections. And as one of Sandestin’s premier wedding venues, Burnt Pine offers couples a timeless backdrop of sweeping golf views and refined service for their most cherished day.

PICKLEBALL EXPANSION: MADE FOR MOMENTUM While Burnt Pine celebrates tradition, Sandestin is also leaning into the future of recreation with pickleball. The Sandestin Tennis & Pickleball Center is already a top destination, and by November 2025, a major expansion will add four new dedicated courts with upgraded lighting and refreshed landscaping, bringing the total to 10 courts. Constructed by Cajun Courts, this nearly half-million-dollar project ensures Sandestin members enjoy one of the largest and most advanced pickleball facilities on the Emerald Coast. With USPTA- and USPTR-certified instruction, group clinics, round robins, tournaments, and flexible membership options for both owners and the public, the pickle-

ball program is made for every skill level. Whether you’re just picking up a paddle or looking for spirited competition, Sandestin has created a space where every game feels like a win.

A LIFESTYLE MADE FOR THIS The Burnt Pine Country Club and the growing Pickleball Club are shining examples of how the Clubs of Sandestin deliver a life well-lived. Members can savor a wine dinner at Burnt Pine, rally on brand-new pickleball courts, tee off across four championship courses at the Golf Club of Sandestin, or unwind at the private Beach Club. Add in world-class tennis and a state-of-the-art fitness center, and the result is a membership that touches every corner of the Sandestin lifestyle. At every turn, whether on the court, the green, the beach, or around the table, the Clubs of Sandestin are made for this: for community, for recreation, and for living the life you’ve always imagined.

Bayside Café SANDESTIN

Where Comfort Food, Community, and Coastal Views Meet By OLIVIA MOORE

ucked along the tranquil shores of Choctawhatchee Bay, Bayside Café is more than just a place to eat—it’s a destination to gather, unwind, and savor the Sandestin lifestyle. With stunning views, approachable menus, off-season charm, and a growing lineup of themed events, this tuckedaway gem is quietly becoming one of the most beloved spots on resort grounds. Whether you’re waking up with a fresh cup of coffee by the water or winding down with a cold drink and good company, Bayside Café invites you to linger longer and enjoy the slower pace of life on the bay.

dining room and breezy outdoor patio give guests plenty of options for enjoying meals with a view, whether you’re traveling solo or dining with friends and family. The interior is cozy and casual, evoking a sense of laid-back Southern hospitality. Just outside, the Tiki Bar brings a tropical flair with frozen cocktails, beer buckets, and poolside snacks served under the shade of palm trees. It’s the kind of place where flip-flops are the dress code, and the sunset is part of the meal. The café’s menu blends fresh, familiar flavors with a regional twist. Morning favorites like thick-cut French toast, scrambled eggs, and yogurt parfaits give way to hearty lunches and weekend dinners featuring burgers, salads, sandwiches, and rotating chef specials. SEASONAL FUN, ALL YEAR LONG While the café bustles in the summertime, it’s during the off-season that Bayside truly shines. Through fall and winter, the team keeps things exciting with creative culinary events and entertainment designed to bring warmth and connection to the quieter months. Themed events are often complemented by seasonal food and beverage menus, ensuring there’s always something new to try—and a reason to return. PRIVATE EVENTS WITH A PERSONAL TOUCH In addition to regular dining, Bayside Café is available for private event rental, offering a unique indooroutdoor venue with coastal flair. With proximity to resort accommodations, it’s become a popular choice for welcome dinners, rehearsal brunches, birthday parties, corporate lunches, club socials, poolside cocktail hours, and more. The side dining room is ideal for intimate gatherings, while the outdoor patio and pool area create a stunning backdrop for larger events under the stars. Custom menus, flexible seating,

and warm, attentive staff make hosting at Bayside feel effortless and personal. Whether it’s a casual get-together or a special celebration, Bayside delivers a setting that feels approachable yet elevated—perfect for groups looking to connect in an easy, beautiful setting.

A LOCAL FAVORITE IN THE MAKING As more people discover the charm of Bayside Café, it’s becoming a goto for not only great food, but also connection, celebration, and coastal comfort. Whether you’re sipping wine by the pool, watching your favorite team on the big screen, or enjoying a private dinner with friends, Bayside Café offers something few other spots can: the perfect combination of location, flavor, and feeling. It’s not just a place to eat. It’s a place to feel at home, season after season.

As we venture into 2026, Northwest Florida’s real estate market continues to show resilience, with lifestyle and waterfront communities leading the way. At Sandestin Golf and Beach Resort, demand for condos, villas, and single-family homes remains especially strong thanks to its unmatched blend of amenities and coastal living. LOCAL SNAPSHOT (Sandestin, January - October 2025): Total Sold: 245 Properties, 242 Residential Properties, 3 Lots (No change from 2024) Sold Price Range: High: $5,400,000 (↑ 28% from 2024) Low: $170,000 (↑ 3% from 2024) Median: $820,000 (no change from 2024) Average Days on Market: 122 (↑ 17% from 2024) Average Price per Sq Ft: $505.43 (↓ 6% from 2024) These numbers highlight how Sandestin continues to outperform the broader market, particularly in its higher-end, lifestyle-driven segment. Nationally, the picture is cautiously optimistic. Mortgage rates have steadied, restoring confidence, while coastal and resort destinations like ours remain in high demand. The luxury sector stands out as especially resilient, supported by cash buyers and international interest. Throughout the next year, expect Sandestin and Northwest Florida to remain a top choice for lifestyle buyers and investors alike. If you’re considering a move—whether it’s buying, selling, or investing—now is the time to explore the opportunities our market has to offer. My team and I at The Agency Northwest Florida Beaches are here to guide you every step of the way.

EXPERTS SAY

Wellness Yards Can Seriously Boost Your Resale Value

Investing in these amenities now can pay off when it comes to sell. The American backyard is on a wellness journey. Once just for cookouts and play, outdoor spaces are now being reimagined as wellness yards—thoughtfully designed retreats that blend nature, design, and holistic health. According to Yardzen’s 2025 Trends Report, requests for outdoor showers are up 29 percent, fitness areas 15 percent, and saunas and cold plunges nearly 10 percent. Privacy features like hedges and secluded gardens are also rising. For Florida homeowners—where indoor-outdoor living is a way of life—these wellness-focused spaces offer both lifestyle and potential resale value.

The Agency Northwest Florida Beaches made its grand debut in spectacular style with an unforgettable celebration at Hotel Effie Sandestin.

The event was hosted by Managing Partner Sara Becnel and Broker & Managing Director Glen Stegemann, who led the evening’s celebration with inspiring remarks about The Agency’s future in Northwest Florida. Becnel shared, “I chose to partner with The Agency so we could expand beyond Sandestin and give our existing brokerage a more global reach and a much-needed infusion of fresh tech, ideas, and excitement. It was a natural cultural fit—we share the same vision and ideals. Having been part of this community for more than 40 years, it’s exciting to see its growth and to help others experience all the beauty and lifestyle our area has to offer.”

It was more than a launch—it was the beginning of a new era for luxury real estate along Florida’s Emerald Coast.

Guests arrived to a striking scene of red-carpet glamour, champagne aerialists, and shadow-box dancers, with world-renowned DJ Sammy Taggett, known as Shoebox Moses, setting the tone with an electric performance. Adding to the excitement, Mauricio Umansky, Founder and CEO of The Agency, was the highlight of the evening—posing for photos, dancing with guests, and sharing heartfelt words about the brand’s expansion to the Emerald Coast. “The Agency has been growing and growing because of the amazing people we get to partner with. Everyone asks me how I pick the destination, and I tell them—I don’t pick the destination, I pick the people,” said Umansky. Guests also enjoyed a Bal Harbour Shops fashion show and pop-up shopping experience, featuring couture pieces from Balmain, Valentino, Roberto Cavalli, and Brunello Cucinelli, modeled throughout the night and available for purchase. The evening included the unveiling of a custom art collaboration with local artist Brendan Parker, symbolizing the creative synergy between The Agency and the Northwest Florida community. Capturing the glamour and energy of the event, Sean Murphy and the Gannet Creative House team were on-site photographing guests and documenting every memorable moment. The celebration was made possible thanks to the support of our gracious sponsors and partners, whose collaboration helped make this milestone truly unforgettable. (800) 277-0801 THEAGENCYNWFL.COM
