Hi My friends and I did a "girls week" in this condo and what a beautiful place it was, honestly the pictures do not do it justice. It is beautiful down to every detail. Loren the owner was wonderful - she has all the great gadgets and movies to keep many happy - sometimes its the little things. She really seems to care about the renters, its not just an investement for her. It was such a nice location too close to everything - yet calm and serene. We loved it !!!

Owner response:Claudine, I am so happy you felt welcomed and had a good time with your friends. It is a joy for me , to have guests at my condo , and I want everybody to love it so you can come back. Thank you for taking the time to write the review. Loren

This place is beautiful! I stayed here with my mom and grandmother for a week long getaway and it truly was the best place we could have chosen to stay. We picked this condo because the inside of the condo feels so comfortably and homely that we didn't want to leave! It felt like a home away from home. The colors of the paint on the walls, to the wall decor and art, to the beautifully lit rooms with the many lamps (The lamps also have settings for dim mood lighting, which is a huge plus!) made this condo the most comfortable and cozy condo inside the whole building! At least, we believed so. The balcony view is gorgeous! A huge reason we also wanted to stay here. The view overlooks the ocean to the left, and some hotels with ocean to the right. Below all you see is beautifully green lush landscape and the pool area, as well as tennis courts and a mini golf course. We sat outside for breakfast every morning and had dinner on the balcony at night as well while watching the beautiful sunset. The walk to the ocean is literally only 5 minutes away. There is also a fitness center onsite which had some of the best exercise equipment. The location is wonderful. You're about 15-20 minutes from Harborwalk and about 7-10 minutes from the many shopping centers and restaurants. The location is just enough for the privacy of a quiet and peaceful vacation, but close enough to shopping centers, food, bars, and everything under the sun! During our stay, we were able to dine on the balcony watching the sunset, sleep in incredibly comfortable beds, watch tv on the large flat screen TV, cook dinner in the well equipped kitchen, and last but not least..While we were packing and a bit sad to leave, suddenly we hear something out the balcony door. We all gather on the balcony to see a beautiful beautiful professional firework display atop another building to the right of us. It felt like the fireworks were right in our face. It was truly the best ending to the most wonderful vacation we could have ever had! We will most definitely be planning for another vacation in this wonderful condo! Thank you so much!

Owner response:Dear Sandra and Jeanie: you are so wonderful taking the time to write a detailed review. It makes me happy you had a great time, and planning to come back. I don't know if you came after I had the bedrooms rugs replaced by Distressed Wood Tile, it looks fantastic. I will love to have you again as a guest.

We just returned from our second visit to your Destin condo (Summit 1110). Just like last year, we had a wonderful time. This year the water was crystal clear (no seaweed or jellyfish). We literally spent hours just relaxing and socializing in the water. We had great weather…only one day of rain. The condo is absolutely beautiful and meets all of our needs. The change you made to the bathrooms was excellent. The showers were great! The covered parking spot is a bonus that you just can’t put a price tag on. I personally enjoyed the beautiful view every morning when I opened the curtains. Stunning!... We have absolutely no complaints at all. We look forward to future visits. Thanks again for allowing us to enjoy your piece of paradise

This condo was perfection. The view was spectacular, the furnishings were beautiful, and the amenities in the condo as well as access to the property facilities made this a perfect get away for our family. The owners were prompt in their replies and very easy to work with. We would highly recommend it to others.

Would highly recommend the Summit Condo at Tops'L!. Cannot say enough about its cleanliness, extraordinary technologic and facility extras, the furnishings AND the VIEW. The entire resort is well kept, beautiful grounds, family friendly and romantic. The people were very friendly and polite. Everything IS just as it is pictured in the slideshow. No surprises. Convenient to many new shopping areas, fabulous restaurants, and access to private, immaculately maintained beaches with white sand and blue water. Blew Cancun, Ixtapa, and Puerto Vallarta away for my wife and I. Cannot wait to go again.

Was looking for a relaxing view, got it..what a view!!did not want to be without my plasma tv and got one here..loved it..loved the feeling of being in a spacious area. What a way to relax sitting in the living room and enjoy the view. Comfortable beds, cute kitchen and stocked up very well, everything we needed, my husband even though we are on vacation loves to cook, a kitchen was a must. We felt very comfortable and it was exactly what we wanted..yes, we will be back.. Just knowing the beach was so close for our morning walk was just a great therapy. The Virtual tour helped us to decide to come to this paradise..what would we do today without this tour? many times we have been dissapointed, but it is great to be able to view it firs.thank you...
