Help choosing resort

My wife and I will be taking our first family trip with our 6 month old over Memorial Day. We live in Nashville and my wife wants something that feels like a vacation before our big trip later in the summer, so we’re going to drive down there.

I’ve been to Destin several times on family trips, but she never has, and I’ve never had a baby to bring.

After a ton of Googling, I’ve narrowed it down to Sandestin, Tops’l, and Hidden Dunes. We’re really not into high rises but still want to be close enough to walk to the beach, so Tops’l gives us one of those two. Hidden Dunes, beach is walkable from the low rise condo units. Both look like they have good pools for the baby, which is where we’ll likely spend most of our aquatics time, but still want the beach accessible.

Sandestin, don’t even know where to start. I’m trying to figure out if each “area” has a pool or not, but the resort map sucks. I do like the older like duplexes and low rises, kind of reminds me of our trips in the 90s, but don’t love the idea of taking a tram everywhere, particularly with a bunch of stuff for the beach.

Also, the baby goes to bed around 7:30 so we’re usually calling it a day by 5pm. We don’t care much to be around a lot of activities or nightlife, more quiet and room to spread out.

Any insights or suggestions would be appreciated!
