Hotel Effie is one of the few hotels/condos in Baytowne/Sandestin that allows for one night stays which is what we needed for our last stay. Hotel is amazingly beautiful and the rooftop bar is a definitely plus. Walking distance to Baytowne is less than 2 minutes which is very convenient to the local restaurants and shops. Highly recommend Hotel Effie, especially for a couple looking for a night or weekend away!
