Nice 18 hole course at your back door with great rates when you stay at Ariel Dunes
This is a good Church for vacationing guests. Very casual (resort attire) and welcoming. We usually go to Little First Baptist in Destin, but have visited here a few times and were very comfortable.
Owner's Map of Ariel Dunes II
We've owned condos in Destin for better than 15 years now and live only a little over 2 hours away. This allows us to come in and inspect them regularily to make sure our housekeepers are keeping our units in the condition we would expect if we were staying in them. We also take care of all the things that cannot be tended to during the brief transition (cleaning) period between guests. We think of everything so you can think of nothing. We also have a good knowledge of the area and love sharing "local" info on things like restaurants, directions, golf course recomendations/deals and even what is the best night to go to the movie. We like to host people, not just rent to them.
Thanks for your interest,
Pat and Emily Brown

I had the pleasure of staying in this condo with my daughter and girlfriend, and it was amazing ! The level is just right for privacy, but offers a great view of the pool, and Gulf of Mexico. The Cabana Cafe had amazing food and drinks, and was conviently located on the first floor in the adjascent building. We also ate at the Whales Tail (a beach front bar and grill) wich was a nice 10 min walk along the new boardwalk. The condo was top notch !! ....the bed in the master was like sleeping on air, and the big flat screen tv was great for movies, while delaney (our daughter) was sleeping ...and her cartoons when she was awake. Check in /check out was a breeze, and the folks we rented from really went the extra mile to please us. No doubt we will definatley rent again !!!!
Owner response:Hey Guys, Thanks for your kind words. We also love the 50" plasma for the days when it's not picture perfect weather in Destin. (of course there were only 3 this year :-) Did you know the restaurant offers room service if you want to be really sorry. Again thanks for putting your trust in us. Pat and Emily

The views are fantastic from the balcony - you can see the ocean and the lake! We stayed mid-week in April and had such an enjoyable time. The zero-entry pool with waterfall is fun and being able to get lunch and a beverage from the cafe made it a true resort experience! The short walk to the beach is quite easy. We even played a round of golf on morning - simply walked out of our room and onto the course. The condo is really spacious and professionally decorated (had granite countertops and stainless appliances). I really enjoyed the stay and hopefully will be able to book again.
Owner response:Lynn, Thanks for the kind words. We take great pride in how well we maintain this unit, as well as our other three condos. Like you, we also enjoy being able to walk out the front door and being right on the golf course. Thanks again for letting us help you with this trip, and we look forward to helping with your next Destin vacation. Pat and Emily

We wanted to let you know just how much we enjoyed our recent stay at Ariel Dunes. The Seascape Resort is magnificent and had everything we needed for our trip. We golfed in the mornings and lounged at the pool and the beach during the afternoons. We were even able to squeeze in a little shopping at the Silver Sands outlet mall just down the street. Your condo is very well maintained and everything was just as you described. We look forward to coming back again-real soon. Thanks again.

Staying as guests of the Brown family in their Ariel Dunes condo was fantastic! We couldn't decide if the last week before school started back would be a good week for us to vaca in Destin or not. We spoke with owner Pat, and his wife, Emily. Upon their suggestion - we were ready to go for it. Everything aspect of that particular week and their condo and property location was more than we dreamed of. Back to school shopping was the one thing I wanted to accomplish while "away from it all". That worked out superbly. The world's biggest designer shopping mall is right across from where we stayed! I got all the kids outfitted - taking advantage of great promos including Florida's NO TAX weekend :0) You should check out ChristianCondos. net we're sure glad we did. And to recap ... the last week of summer will be our official vaca week from now on!

This was a last minute rental and it was worth it. The condo was extremely well-appointed, comfortable and clean. The master bedroom and bath are extremely nice. The girls shared the 2nd bedroom and the boys shared the bunks. Kitchen had everything we needed. It was a bit rainy when we visited so we spent limited time at the pool/beach. Pool, though, is zero-entry and fun. Building had a small bar that made good drinks. Short walk to beach. Golf course right outside the front door and we played with a discount. Nice course. Close to shops, restaurants and bowling for the kids! All in all, I would definitely stay here again. You can tell the owners are very conscientious about the upkeep of their condo.

Best Trip to Destin Ever...Can't Wait to go back!

Everything in the listing was exactly the way it was described. Photos were accurate...place was actually even better in person. Very clean and well maintained. The owner went above and beyond to make sure our needs were met. Called to check on us when we arrived and gave us all necessary information. I would definitely recommend this property to friend and family. It was great to be able to go down to the pool on a couple of days when the beach had a lot of seaweed, but then we were back to the beach. The Whale's Tail restaurant is just across the street, Pompano Joe's is just down the street, along with several beach shops and Destin Commons is very close. We had no complaints!
Owner response:Hey Rob, We're so glad you were pleased when you arrived. We want the place to be how we would like to find it if we were arriving ourselves. We really like helping people explore and find all the "local" fun places. Even though Destin has the World's most beautiful beach and clearest waters, sometimes after a storm out at sea we do get a day or so of water that's only as nice as other beaches are on their normal days :-) But since we have 4 great pools and Destin has so much more to offer it gives you some time for exploring all the other stuff to do (great shopping, golf, restaurants, parks, trails, theaters, museums, etc) Again, glad you had a great time and look forward to hosting you again sometime.

It truly was like staying at home away from home. It was very modern and nice. Conveniently located to everything. We will definately stay here again!
Owner response:Hey Jessika, Great to hear from you Jessica. We're so glad you chose to stay in our family's condo. You are right, there is just too much to do here for just one visit. We look forward to being your hosts again soon. Thanks again, Pat and Emily

We just wanted to say we love ALL your condos. We have been fortunate enough to stay in all four at different times over the last couple of years. Each one offers something special and we would be hard pressed to say which is our favorite! They offer shopping, beach, pools and entertainment. Each is special in its own way. Can't wait to make our next reservations.......hmmm.......maybe Azure this time?!
