Absolutely unbelievable value and unforgettable views! Your views of the world are all around you as the sights up on the 22nd floor are simply incredible and impossible to match.

This three bedroom, 1,600 square foot accommodation is on the 22nd of 24 floors and is professionally furnished and appointed as a luxury Penthouse, not just a 'run of the mill' rental unit. You, your family, and friends will enjoy 5-star accommodations, experiencing comfort, luxury, laughter, and views that will have you saying, 'We should have stayed longer' or 'When can we come back!' All of this at much less than what you would pay for a single room at the Marriott.

The condo has been highly upgraded and hosts beautiful upgraded 20' porcelain tile installed on the diagonal throughout the common areas and upgraded carpet placed throughout the bedrooms. All new carpeting was installed in May 2010 - we continue to update and maintain our home in a way that most owners do not! The condo is also upgraded with GE Stainless Steel appliances and even the chandeliers, sconces, and ceiling fans have been replaced to create the most beautiful and stylish appeal. A full size washer/dryer is also provided.

The family room features a queen-size sleeper sofa surrounded by two large chairs that will provide plenty of seating for the family and guests. Enjoy your favorite movie or surf the channels while watching HDTV on the 42' Phillips Ambilight Flat-panel LCD HDTV and Phillips HD DVD player. You will be able to stay connected to the world through the free wireless Internet connection.

The dining room includes a 60' glass table that comfortably seats six adults with additional seating available at the built-in bar and a gorgeous chandelier overhead is controlled through a gentle dimmer.

The kitchen has been fully appointed with stainless steel GE appliances, Cuisine Art stainless steel pots, pans, baking dishes, serving dishes, coffee maker, toaster, blender, wine and even margarita glasses. The stemware, dinnerware, and flatware are very high quality...the quality you would want in your own home. If you are the Rachael Ray type or Emeril, you simply will feel right at home in the kitchen.

You will definitely not miss your own home's bed and pillows as these beds have been outfitted with the finest linens and fabrics. The master bedroom has a King Sleigh bed adorned in 400 thread-count sheets and lots and lots of comfy pillows. A wide screen LCD HDTV sits atop the full length dresser and mirror. You will wake up to the views of the incredible Gulf of Mexico right from your own bed. Gently take in the morning as you step outside onto the patio and enjoy your coffee, paper, and soothing sounds of the Gulf.

The master bathroom includes an upgraded rainfall showerhead that will leave you feeling invigorated, just like you left a spa. The soaking tub and huge double vanity fit in nicely and there is plenty of room to get ready in the morning.

Your guests will not feel jealous of you residing in the master suite as their accommodations are extremely nice as well. The guest room includes a queen size pillow top bed, exquisite linens, flat panel wide screen HDTV, private bath and shower/tub, and private patio with views overlooking the Gulf, Destin, 18-hole golf course, and serene Choctawhatchee Bay.

The third bedroom hosts a twin over full size bunk bed that comfortably sleeps 3 children or another couple. The kids will be able to enjoy their own favorite DVD as the room includes a 21' TV/DVD combo unit that is perfect for those days when its time to let the kids have 'their own time.' All these fine touches set this home apart from the rest.

The 420 square foot wrap around balconies have comfortable oversized wicker patio furniture to help you enjoy gorgeous sunsets and your favorite bottle of wine. Our west facing views are simply breathtaking and you will absolutely love being on top of the world.

We have also upgraded the home with an advanced keyless entry door codes so there will never be any hassles with dysfunctional swipe keys or lock boxes. We will furnish you your own personal key touch door code for your vacation.

The two huge pools total over 11,000 square feet and includes several fountains. The pool is gently graded for easy entry. The surrounding community of Seascape also offer tennis courts and an affordable 18-hole golf course where you can rent clubs or simply bring the young ones out and hit some golf balls at the driving range.

The Cabana Cafe Restaurant, located pool-side on the ground level of Ariel Dunes, offers a full service bar and restaurant and even provides room service! So whether you're looking for a pool-side refreshment or snack, or want dinner delivered to you, the convenience of the Cabana Cafe cannot be matched!

Now for the rates! You will not find better rates in Ariel Dunes for the quality you are seeking! We simply will not be beat as our rates are guaranteed to be the best.

                    This condo was way more than I ever expected! It was accomodated with everything you need, very spacious with an amazing view of the beach, was very clean and so tastefully decorated. The wrap around balcony was huge, and it was so peaceful and relaxing to sit out there and listen to the ocean and fountain in the pool. This truly felt like a luxurious vacation. I will definitely recommend this to everyone and will be returning to stay! It is kid friendly and had great pools for the kids, and a nice little cafe with great food, and also has a bar for the adults. I would recommend this for families as well as adults going without their kids.

                    Extremely nice condo! Interior pics do not do justice to stylish decor and space of this rental. Owners are lovely to work with as well. Wrap around balconies provide incredible view of the ocean and those beach sunsets. We have rented in this part of Florida for thirty years and this is one of the nicest experiences we have had. LOCATION, LOCATION,LOCATION! Near everything and beach is wonderful. Clean and Simones/staff even sent a much needed left behind agenda to us in Oklahoma the very day we inquired about it! HIGHLY RECOMMEND this rental! Thank you Simones for letting us enjoy your property!

                    Thank you Andrea and Steve for letting us stay in your beautiful and spacious condo for 2 months. The pictures are exactly what you see when you arrive. The unit was very clean upon our arrival. The sunsets from the balcony, living room- dining room and master bedroom were unbelievable. Where can you be eating dinner and watch the sun set? You can also watch the sun rise from the balcony. The views of the gulf are breathtaking. We missed seeing any dolphins this year. The master bedroom and ensuite are very spacious and the bed was most comfortable. Many of the units in Ariel Dunes do not have flat screen TV's but this one does and has a few HD channels. How convenient to walk out the back of the building and be a few steps to the golf course! There are many courses closeby as well. Also the condo is within walking distance of a grocery store, restaurants, Post Office and the many Outlet Stores. There is a very good restaurant downstairs that has live entertainment 6 days of the week. You can also have food delivered from the Cabana Cafe and get a 10% discount for staying in Ariel Dunes. We had a great time on our holiday and have booked again for next year. Thank you again Andrea and Steve. You were so easy to deal with and always readily answered any questions we had. We felt so at home in your condo. We will definitely recommend it to our friends. Linda and Matt, Burlington, Ontario, Canada

                    This condo was more than perfect for our family vacation. We've stayed in condos before but this condo was by far money well spent. It is clean, beautifully decorated, spacious and close to the beach. The view from the balcony was breath taking. The cafe down stairs was very convenient especially if you don't feel like driving anywhere for food especially after a long day of the outdoor activities. The price was very reasonable and they are open until 2 a.m. every night. We will definitely stay here again for our next Destin vacation.

                    I have stayed in many beach rentals over the years and this was by far my favorite. Not only did it have spectacular views but the decor made it feel so homey. I felt as comfortable as if it were my own home. If we go back to Destin in the future we would definitely stay here again.

                    The pictures did not do justice to this condo! What a wonderful place to stay. It is very comfortable, has plenty of room and everything you need to just relax. We spent much of our time on the beach, which is only a short walk away. The price is great and the location is close to everything. You will love the views from the balcony. The beds are quite comfortable as well! The pools are also great for those who aren't ocean lovers. The only negative part of staying here is that we have to leave. But we will be back!!!!!
