Quick Answer
Is my vacation rental cart-friendly? Most Destin and Miramar Beach neighborhoods, resorts and hotels allow street-legal golf carts (LSVs) with free delivery from Beach Better. Many 30A communities — Rosemary Beach, Seaside, Alys Beach, WaterSound — prohibit outside rentals. WaterColor and Prominence 30A have exclusive vendor agreements. Sandestin Resort and all of its 40+ sub-neighborhoods, hotels, and golf clubs do not allow outside golf cart rentals. Always confirm with your property manager or front desk before booking.
A Free Resource For Every Emerald Coast Visitor
This page exists because every year thousands of families arrive on the Emerald Coast without knowing whether their property is cart-friendly. Beach Better maintains the most comprehensive cart-access directory for Destin, Miramar Beach, Santa Rosa Beach and 30A — and shares it freely with every visitor, whether you rent from us, another company, or bring your own cart.
- Contact your property manager, HOA or hotel front desk to confirm golf carts are permitted on the grounds
- If renting, provide gate codes for gated communities and resorts
- Rules are set by HOAs and resort management — not by Beach Better — and they change; verify before booking
- Bookings to rental-restricted properties incur standard cancellation fees
