Welcome to Genoa
Where every home has a view
Walking around Genoa, some ask themselves, “Is this Florida or Italy?” The neighborhood is surrounded by water in beautiful Sandestin. The Tuscan-style homes of Genoa increase the sense of walking along a Mediterranean beach town. The limited number of plots further ensures the exclusivity of these luxurious homes. When locals cross the rustic stone bridge into their private community, they traverse into another place, as if on a European vacation right here in America.
The residents of Genoa enjoy an active outdoor lifestyle within this community in the Sandestin Golf and Beach Resort. They have deep-sea fishing right at their fingertips. Residents head out to Wednesday's Concert Series, on any given Wednesday, all summer long. It’s easy to enjoy kayaking on the lake, volleyball at the beach, and a day of golf at one of the many prestigious local golf clubs. It’s a beautiful short drive to the Baytowne Golf Club or The Links Golf Club.
What to Love
Local Lifestyle
Deep-sea diving in the morning, lunch at Cantina Laredo, and an evening of champagne and shopping await those who live in this luxurious community. It’s resort living for an active lifestyle, but it’s also somewhere to kick back and enjoy the luscious views.
Crystal clear blue waters and white sand beaches melt stress, giving way to a happier, grander way of living. Genoa looks like its Italian namesake but has better diving, golfing, and views. It may not have the history, but it has the notoriety that brings a packed annual calendar and prestigious restaurants and cafes.
Dining, Entertainment & Shopping
Dining at Ovide means eating culinary creations crafted by the renowned chef Hugh Acheson. The ambiance matches the quality of the food, and any night out can be improved with a meal at Ovide. Rum Runners at the Village of Baytowne Wharf has the best drinks, paired with delightful dueling piano players and delicious fares for casual evenings out.
