Sonny Mann here. At The Tides @ Tops’l. If you’ve never made your way to Tops’l you don’t know what you’re missing. This place has everything. Beautiful beach. In fact rated best by Southern Living. And if you can’t trust them who can you trust. Incredible views. Close to golf. And world class tennis. Can you imagine? All that in one place. The Tides are part of Tops’l Beach & Racquet Resort which is smack dab in the middle of 52 beautifully landscaped acres bordered by the Gulf of Mexico and by Topsail Hill State Preserve. WOW! There’s 600 feet of private, sandy white beaches. There’s a ton of stuff to do here, with the daytime activities and nightlife of neighboring Sandestin and other noted communities to the west, and a nature preserve for quiet and solitude to the east. Tops'l provides the best of both worlds. And for you tennis nuts, Tops'l has been ranked "A Top 50 US Tennis Resort" by Tennis Magazine for 12 years running and most recently by Tennis Online as a "Top 10 Tennis Resort in the Entire World". How about that?!? And Tops'l has extensive amenities available for a daily fee (not included with the condo rental) such as fitness facilities including 12 Rubico clay courts, a world class fitness center, aerobics classes, racquetball court, basketball courts, heated outdoor and indoor pools, a putting green, shuffle board and nature trails for walking, jogging and biking. You’ll also find The Ocean Club Restaurant, The Sandbar, The Pavilion Grill and Bar, the Pro Shop, Snowbirds Club, Kid's Club. And here’s some good news. There’s kids’ programs offered each day during the season. Plus, Tops'l has a Tram Service to transport you and family members in and around the resort grounds. And if that weren’t enough, Silver Sands Outlet Mall, one of the largest in the US, is less than 5 minutes away. Sandestin's popular Baytowne Wharf is just across the street to the west with shops, excellent restaurants and entertainment on the bay. Concerts on Wednesdays and family movies on Thursdays are popular family outings on the lawn at the Wharf. Sandestin's recently developed Grand Boulevard Town Center, nearby to the east, has upscale shopping and many excellent restaurant options. There’s so much to do here you won’t be able to fit it into a week’s vacation. So stay two! That’s what I’d do. Here’s the scoop on your Tops'l Tides Sandestin Vacation condo. This place is gorgeous. Big and beautiful. And it’s got really cool views. Because of where it’s located you not only get the beach/gulf view, you can see way down the beach from your balcony. How cool is that!?! Plus, it’s got really interesting décor. And, it really makes the most of the room in every room. There’s plenty of space for all your beach stuff, but that’s not why you’ll pick this condo. It’s got great views. Plain and simple. The LIVING ROOM sofa opens up as a queen sleeper. There’s a big flat screen TV, and don’t forget the DVD player lets you play movies when you’re beached out. Or, surf the net with the high speed connection. But, I gotta tell you, the views are gonna make all that pretty tough. You’re eyes will wonder to the beach every time. You’ll like the balcony, too. It’s really bit and comfortable. And the views, The views. Hey, bring binoculars. You might catch the dolphins jumpin’ in the water. That’s always fun. The MASTER BEDROOM got a huge king size bed. And the bed’s really comfortable. I laid down on it to see how it felt. Almost went to sleep. The room’s really spacious. Plenty of closet space. There’s another pretty big TV and a DVD player. The 2nd MASTER has 2 Doubles! How about that!?! And it’s really roomy. The KITCHEN’s open and has everything that you need, so no matter whether you’re cooking your specialty or just fixing grilled cheese sandwiches you’re set. There’s a big kitchen bar with four bar chairs so you can grab a quick bit before you hit the beach. The DINING AREA has a nice sized table, really comfortable so e
