Returning to Destin in our favorite rental

We are from Carrollton, Texas and have been to Destin every year for the last three years. We plan to make another trip this year. We usually stay in this condo, but last year, we were unable to because it was already booked for the time we wanted. So we stayed at another condo and while it was nice, we missed staying at our favorite place. We are planning on going to Destin again in 2012 and are booking it in late 2011. I highly recommend this condo. It has a great view from the balcony, very short walk to the private beach, VERY CLEAN CONDO, easy access, the outlet mall for shopping is very close and great restaurants from high end fine dining to fast food. Gilligans is my personal favorite. Not to mention that Kaye is fabulous! She makes the whole process easy and stress free.

Awesome way to end the summer

My boys and I stayed at the condo from Aug. 6-13. It was exactly as advertised. Very large for a 1-bedroom/1-bath condo. We had plenty of room. And the large laundry room came in very useful as well. The views of the gulf are incredible, and it's a very short walk to both the pool and the beach. And only a short drive to several local attractions. We went to The Track a couple of times, and also spent a day at Big Kahina's waterpark. our favorite restaurants were The Back Porch and The Whale's Tail. The only downfall of the whole week was the excessive amount of a seaweed in the gulf on a couple of days. But that didn't last all week. It turned out to be a very relaxing vacation, which was exactly what we were looking for. We will definitely be back someday.

This condo was great! It was very spacious and perfect for my family of 5. It was very clean and the large utility room was wonderful to have. We loved our view of the ocean from our balcony. It was very easy to get to the pool and the beach. Both areas were not crowded at all. This rental process was very simple and Kaye was easy to work with. Amalfi Coast Resort was in a perfect location. We liked that this resort was far enough away from the crowds of the central part of Destin, but it was only a short drive to anything you wanted to do. It is only 1 mile away from Silver Sands Outlet Mall. It is also close to grocery stores, Destin Commons, several great restaurants and recreational activities. Our favorite restaurants were Maguires, The Backporch, Dewey Destin and The Donut Hole. We also enjoyed Big Kahunas water park and spent some time riding go carts at The Track. The large condo, great location and reasonable price, make this an excellent place to stay. We will definitely come back to this condo in the future!

We had a great visit. The condo is very roomy for a one bedroom. Everything was well kept and clean. The view from the balcony is great (better than other buildings at this complex). We enjoyed the tennis courts and my kids loved catching frogs by the pool. The beach was not crowded like is it futher down. The location is great--close to everything!

Great Condo

We had a great stay at this condo. As other reviewers have commented, it is very clean and spacious and the owner is very accommodating. The view is great and the beach was surprisingly empty for Spring Break week. Our only complaint was that there was so much traffic that at certain times of the day the sound of vehicles rivaled the sound of the waves — but perhaps that was only because it was Spring Break week.

Owner response:We are delighted these folks had a good time and enjoyed their Spring Break, especially after a long hard winter. The condo is across the street from the beach. Our very favorite times at the beach are when the Gulf of Mexico is very clear and blue-green in color and almost as still as a lake. At those times, you will not not be able to hear the waves once you are away from the beach.

Beautiful, Super Clean Condo With Spectacular Views

This unit was perfect for my family of four. We were very impressed from the moment we walked in with how clean and spacious the unit was. It has amazing views of the gulf. We were in town for my sister's wedding and I was able to use the clubhouse to give her a bridal shower. The owner was so sweet and corresponded well with us throughout the process. I definitely plan on staying here again and have recommended this condo to my family and friends.

Owner response:We appreciate the great review and are so glad you had a good time. We are always thrilled when people make use of the ammenities at Amalfi Coast Resort, especially the two pools, the tennis courts, and the community room. The great condos and the wonderful Gulf of Mexico and its beaches are the main attractions of the condo and the pools, tennis courts, and community room help make for a terrific place to stay at Destin.

Better Then Described! Awesome Stay!

We rented this Condo for a Girls weekend away, then my husband came to stay for the rest of the week once my friend was leaving, so I got to stay longer then both of them. We have stayed at a couple of places in the Destin area before & this condo was very nice, so clean, better then the description listed & photos are a prefect view of the place. We were so amazed at the view of the Gulf, of course we didn't want to leave at all. Condo was so clean & roomy. It was great to have a washer & dryer. It's in a great location near shopping & dining when eating out. Dining: You have to go try the Smiling Fish Cafe', just east of the condo about only 10 minutes away on corner of Hwy 30A & Hwy 393, best time to go is at lunch 11- 3, & get the Fish Taco's. We went 2x's & got the same thing, they were so good, plus try their bread pudding (you'll need to share), & another great lunch place is 790 on the Gulf, it has the best view for nice/casual dining. An awesome breakfast place is the The Donut Hole, east of condo about 5-10 mins, off of 98, is the closest one of the 2 Donut Hole's, you must get the Cinn-Raisin French Toast or just have breakfast on the balcony of the condo :-) Some great places for activities is: Gilligans - Parasailing, & The Sea Blaster's Sunset/Dolphin Cruise, the best view of the Sunset ever. You won't be sorry. But the best place is just relaxing on the beach with a cooler & packed lunch or packed dinner. You can't go wrong with that. It's a nice close/short walk to the beach. We will be returning this year for another visit with our family. I believe this is the one from now on. Kaye was great to work with and answered all my crazy question, Thank you so much Kaye.

Owner response:We appreciate the great review. I love that this woman was able to combine a girls' weekend with a getaway with her husband. The condo really does have a fabulous view of the Gulf!

Great family beach condo!

My husband and I and our 2 girls absolutely loved the vacation that we took at this property. The condo was exceptionally clean and was the perfect space for our family of 4. The direct view of the ocean was the best in the entire complex and it was very easy to access the private beach across the street. The owners were very responsive to our questions and a joy to deal with. We will definaltely rent this condo again for our next Destin vacation.

We loved the condo and its location! The view was spectacular of the ocean! The condo was extra clean and so nice and spacious for a one bedroom! Our child loved the bunk beds! Another plus was the two large pools which is one of the reasons we choose Amalfi. Dealing with the owner of the condo has been seamless. The owner has been fabulous to work with while booking our stay to closing out our stay. We plan on coming back to this condo next summer...maybe before! Would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a "home away from home" condo for your next Destin stay!
