Southern Exposure
242 Audubon Drive | Bayside at Fairways | Sandestin Resort

Southern Exposure checks every box on your vacation wish list: a charming lakeside cottage, a spacious private deck, a peaceful sitting dock, two sparkling community pools, two golf carts for easy resort travel, and privileged access to the soft white sands and turquoise waters of the Gulf of Mexico.

Located in the quiet Bayside neighborhood of Fairways at Sandestin, this spacious 3-bedroom, 3-bath retreat is thoughtfully furnished to ensure your family or group of friends enjoys a truly relaxing beach getaway.

Upon entering, you’ll be welcomed by a bright, airy living space bathed in natural sunlight, thanks to the open floor plan and expansive windows. From nearly every angle, breathtaking views of the lake and golf course invite you to unwind. Step out onto the huge wraparound deck - a perfect spot to sip morning coffee or an evening cocktail. Stroll down to the private sitting dock over the lake, where lush surroundings and the sounds of nature provide a serene escape.

Inside, the open kitchen, dining, and living areas create the perfect setting for gathering. The kitchen features a central island, stainless steel appliances, a gas range, and gleaming granite countertops - a dream for any home chef. The cozy dining area, framed by a charming bay window, invites laughter and long conversations.

Each of the three bedrooms offers its own en-suite bath, providing comfort and privacy for all guests. The first-floor king bedroom near the entry boasts abundant sunlight, a flat-screen TV, and a private bath with a large shower. The queen bedroom off the living room showcases stunning lake views and offers an en-suite bath with a shower/tub combo and additional access to the main living area. Also on the first floor, a spacious laundry room provides added convenience.

Upstairs, the expansive owner's suite awaits with a king bed, a large TV, and access to a private second-story porch. The luxurious en-suite bath features an extra-large tiled shower and sophisticated, updated finishes — your personal spa retreat.
