We had a wonderful time here. The condo was beautiful and clean. It was nice having a cup of coffee sitting on the large deck watching the boats and beach every morning. Located within 10 minutes of everything to do in Destin and away from all the packed areas of the beach. The sand was beautiful and everyone around was very nice. One of the most relaxing vacations ever taken. Catherine was great to work with and we will definitely be coming back.

We loved the easy access to the calm swimming and snokeling right out the back door. Also loved the 10 minute walk north or south to the jetties or the tip of Holiday Isle. Lovely views of the pass, bridge, and harbour. Very comfortable beds. Nice, clean condo with all new bathrooms and appliances.

I have stayed here for two years in a row now and can't wait to visit next summer! What a relaxing and enjoyable time we had! The view is absolutely breath taking. Every morning you can watch the boats leaving from the harbor. The sunset was picturesque. We even had front row seats to the fireworks show on Thursday night. When I say the balcony is huge, I do mean HUGE. They are great views of the water from every room. It is a very comfortable condo..master bedroom and bath is quite large. The property itself is clean and well-maintained. Holiday Isle is an excellent site getting away from the large crowded high rise condo areas in Destin. My absolute favorite part of this location is that you are a short walk away from Osteen Public Beach Access where you can snorkel by the jetties and see some colorful, amazing sites (people pay money for a boat to take you here but you can just walk!) Owner is so helpful and communication is easy! I can't say enough good things about this place:)

WONDERFUL VACATION

We stayed in Catherine's beautiful condo for a week and it was most enjoyable. This unit is really upscale compared to other condos we've rented and everything you could possibly need is furnished. The views are absolutely beautiful. We enjoyed sitting on the large balcony in the morning watching the fishing boats head out and then watching the beautiful sunsets from the balcony in the evening. We rate her condo as first class and hope to return again in the fall. She was a pleasure to work with in making the reservations.

Spectactular Views and Sunsets

Guest: Judy (Tallahassee, FL)
Date of Stay: 10/29/10 Review Submitted: 11/07/10

We just returned from a long week-end at this condo and we can't say enough to accurately describe the property. It was very clean and well-maintained but the best part was the location. Situated perfectly to watch the boats coming and going in the harbor, we enjoyed many hours on the balcony. The sunsets from the balcony are truly spectactular. I appreciated that the condo had two king-sized beds so two couples could rest well and neither felt like they were staying in the "kids room." All and all, it was a wonderful experience and we definitely plan on returning.

Extravagant View

Date of Stay: 10/06/10 Review Submitted: 10/12/10

This condo is beautiful, comfortable and the view is to die for! @ older couples who needed a place to hang out and enjoy the view and the condo and balcony fulfilled our needs and more. Just sitting on the balcony before sunrise and watching the many boats pass by, watching the many fisherman just on the edge and watcing the beautiful sunsets was just what the doctor ordered. The spacious condo was everthing we needed, but the balcony was used more than the rest of the condo. Fully equipped with everything we needed plus more. I recommend this area to anyone looking for relaxation, piece and quiet.

Catherine, Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful condo with us! This by far was an amazing place to stay! We stayed for a week and enjoyed it and the beautiful weather! There was no oil in the ocean as predicted by the media! The water was crystal clear and the sand was white and no tar balls! East Pass Condos are quiet and peaceful! Not a lot of kids running around screaming except mine and the beach was not over crowed! This was so relaxing I can't wait to go back! I'm already dreaming of my next vacation in condo 109 with my family! The winter time sounds great and not to mention you have the best rates out there! It's hard to pass up....for anyone wanting to go you will not be disappointed! You can wake up every morning and watch the boats go out to the ocean and come back in at night. Catherine was very accommodating and easy to work with! Thank you again Catherine and Neil for allowing us to have such a wonderful vacation!

I recently returned to Destin after many years with my mother. This condo exceeded our expectations, cleanliness, decor, view, everything! We had a wonderful time together & our stay was way too short. We cannot wait to plan our trip for next year and hope that this condo is available for the dates we chose - it was so comfortable, relaxing and the view is unsurpassed. Thank you for sharing such a great place to stay and keeping it so nice and taking such good care of the property.

Best Trip to Destin Yet!

Guest: Soldner Bunch (Reeseville, WI)
Date of Stay: 03/25/10 Review Submitted: 04/15/10

This was by far the best trip to Destin we've had so far and its due to this lovely condo and its fantastic location. It was extremely well appointed, the deck is fantastic, and it had the MOST comfortable beds I've slept in away from home ever, bar none. The kitchen was beautifully stocked and being a cook with a family to feed we were able to save a lot of money by being able to whip up meals at the condo instead of eating out every nite.Catherine was very accomodating with us, handling schedule changes with grace and good nature! All in all a winner, and we'll definitely be back! Thanks Catherine, from the Soldner Family,2010 Spring Break

Owner response:Hi, glad you enjoyed our condo. Just a note to others that our building does not allow renters with pets.

We enjoyed a wonderful three days in your condo, Catherine. The furnishings are superior in appearance and comfort. As boat lovers we enjoyed your outstanding view of East Pass and the Bridge/Marina area. We expect to return often. Clint

My husband and I had a wonderful week at this condo 10/24 to 10/31/09. Everything was very clean and the furnishings were upscale-beds nice and confy. All those little extras you always find you need in the kitchen were provided right down to the salt and pepper! The internet pictures are just like everything looks, from the furnishings to the view. Sometimes those internet pictures of a view can be deceiving -this one certainly isn't it doesn't do the actual view justice. When I first looked at this unit on the internet I was a little reluctant to do a VRBO because I'd had a bad experience in the past; however this experience was wonderful. I would certainly recommend it to friends and these are great people to rent from. The views from this unit are awesome! You can sit on the balcony and listen to the music from AJ's and the harbour lights are neat too. This unit has a hugh balcony (and I mean hugh!) and you get a great front view of both the East Pass and the harbour. This unit is well worth checking out on your next stay in Destin.

My sister, aunt & I stayed in this condo from 9-11 to 9-18. The location and everything else about the condo was perfect. It was exactly as pictured on the web site, just beautiful. There was not one thing that we needed during our stay that was not provided. The furniture was so comfortable, from the living room (loved the recliners) to the beds, and the lanai. We spent hours on the lanai sipping frozen margaritas and watching the dolphins, pelicans, sea gulls and the most amazing sunsets. Life doesn't get any better that that! Catherine, the owner made the whole rental process so easy. We even had our security deposit back less that a week after our return home! I would highly recommend this condo to anyone who is fortunate enough to vacation in beautiful Destin.

The condo was perfect! We go to the beach every year and this unit was one of the nicest we have stayed in. We really enjoyed the balcony. In the morning you can watch all the boats and waverunners from the harbor that were going on excursions. We found everything we needed in the condo...kitchen well stocked...extra pillows blankets even a first aid kit! Many people were fishing right outside the condo.

Wow, what a great time. The condo was really first class. Your stay will be very memorable. The location is perfect. Very quite, great views and being on the first level is wonderful. Access to balcony from all rooms a big plus. Quick and easy access to pool area. The private beach is perfect. The mornings are wonderful because you watch all the boats leave out of the harbor. Your can not see that futher down the beach. Fishing and snorkling right out side your door. Very close to all the activities. Slept great, very comfortable. The nights are relaxing on the patio with a breeze. Can't wait to go back to Destin and be lazy.

This unit was fantastic. The views were great of the gulf and harbor. All the comfortable details were there, - no cheap motel furnishings. It was quiet, yet close to everything, very spacious rooms beautifully furnished and the beds were comfortable. Sitting on the large balcony for breakfast, watching the boats go out couldn't be beat (not to mention at night watching the moonlight on the water). It's unusual to find a place where all the rooms open onto such a large balcony with gulf view. We will definitely go back to this unit and would highly recommend it. Can't imagineit being better.
