The Village of Baytowne Wharf - Tourist attraction in Miramar Beach - 9300 Baytowne Wharf Blvd, USA

I was pretty underwhelmed from the hype of this location. It’s in a nice location, but the food is pretty mediocre at best and the shops are filled with any touristic type purchases. There are a lot of kid friendly activities, which makes it good for families.

We visited the village in hopes to do some shopping and dining. The parking is very challenging. The only public parking offered to guests who aren't staying in one of the hotels is a parking garage that provides spaces that are very narrow and interrupted by lots of concrete barriers making the spaces even more cramped. We didn't feel comfortable parking there but didn't have any other options. Upon entering the village, we had a hard time finding a guest services office, but finally found someone in a back alley office. We were seeking a stroller rental for our toddler who was sleeping. They do not offer strollers, but the nice lady did provide us with a wheel chair, which was helpful and certainly better than nothing lol. But we'd recommend adding a few strollers to be available to families especially since this is a family oriented Village. There were three stores we specifically wanted to visit and they were all closed. We stopped by the overpriced ice cream shop and grabbed two cones. The staff there was friendly. We made a lap around the loop. It was pretty much a ghost town. Not a lot happening. The activities for kids are very expensive. The village is beautiful and charming but we had higher hopes for the overall visit and ended up being in and out in less than an hour.

We had a very good time. there's much to say with this little or as much walking as you would like. Rooms were very nice, clean and comfortable. hours looked out over a terrace with grass, a place to play and a pool very nearby.

This is a very nice little area I just wish it went all the way around so you can make one big circle to visit every shop. The pricing was mostly outrageous however that's what people go there are looking for.

They could have more people if they had better parking. This is a great place to shop, eat, and let's the kids play. A lot of the places we walked by had to one in the store. The parking deck was packed, and we had to park at the marina, but they have no sign saying to do so.

This is a very large resort type destination. The kind of place you park your car and never see it again until you're ready to leave. Lots of venues within walking distance. They also offer team service to get back and forth to the beach or local shopping areas.

We were somewhat disappointed in our experience as we expected to also enjoy the Farmers Market, and maybe it was too hot out because there were only a handful of stands there. We enjoyed the few shops we went into, and the area was lovely. Parking was tricky as it said it was public yet we were locked out when we tried to return to our car and had to go thru a restricted area to get to it.

We didn't stay here, stayed across the street at the Sandestin Hilton. But what a great place for walking around, shopping and eating! The Ovide at the Hotel Effie has an amazing brunch menu and the views on their rooftop pool and bar ate stunning!
