Dear Prospective Guests, This vacation rental was set up with the care and attention to detail that only a retired mother can provide. It was originally set-up in March of 2007 and it is a wonderful and spacious 3 bedroom unit in a brand new 24 story gulf view resort. We purchased this unit because my mom and dad have spent the winters in the Destin area for over 10 years and we hope to enjoy the same when we retire (some day!). Please enjoy our home away from home and treat it with the same care as you would your own. Comments written in the book in the unit include "your internet pictures do this place no justice. It was above and beyond anything we expected!" and "quite frankly this unit is the best! You have a wonderful place with so much room." I sincerly hope you too will consider staying in this unit. You won't be disappointed. Most Sincerely, Tom Ward, unit owner
