Oh my, we were so pleased when we walked in the door of this beautiful condo. It far outweighed our expectations. It was immaculately clean and so inviting. Loved the decor. We have 2 girls ages 8 and 13 and they loved their bedroom! The condo is very well equipped with absolutely everything you need. The pool is very well kept and so close to the condo. We experienced some severe rain during our stay, and it was so nice that we felt comfortable enough with staying indoors and playing games that we found in the drawers! Loved everything about this perfectly located condo. If we holiday in Destin again, we will be re-booking. Wonderful owners to deal with who made us feel very welcome, even though we didn't meet them! Thank you Connie and Linda, you have a perfect beach retreat. BTW...I am pretty picky but I couldn't find a single thing to whinge about!

Owner response:Thank you so much, Marie....you had a very long drive so we are so happy that you found that our condo was worth it...You were such a pleasure to work with and hope that if your travels ever bring you back to the beautiful emerald coast you will once again stay with us...

The Perfect Place to Stay!

This condo fit the needs of our family perfectly! It truly felt like we were in someone's home, and we were very comfortable here. We had 4 adults and 2 kids, and the layout was very accomodating. The condo has everything you need, and it is beautifully decorated - the full kitchen was great, and we loved having a washer & dryer! Our kids loved how close we were to pool, and one night we even grilled out for dinner and ate by the pool. The condo is in a great location - within walking distance of the beautiful Miramar Beach, and the neighborhood is nice and quiet. The owners were so great to work with, and we can't wait to come back here again!

Owner response:Thank you so much....you were a joy to work with too...So glad you like the decor and the location. We have just purchased a beautiful piece of furniture with 3 drawers for the top of the stairs so when you come back, there will be even more storage space. We will be putting in new cabinetry in all the baths in Sept. so the sinks will be higher and they will have a new fresh look. We look forward to having you and your family come back and hope you will tell others about us.

Home Away From Home!

This condo was just as promised. I would recommend this condo to anyone traveling with a small family. We have visited the last five summers in Miramar and this condo exceeded all of my expectations...and grandma's too. (She is pretty picky!) The home is beautifully decorated, cleanly, and stocked with everything and more that you will need for a home away from home. We all totally enjoyed the pool and the beach was just an added touch to the condo. We will be back......

The condo was everything we needed and more. It was beautifully decorated and perfect location to beach and having the pool right out the back door was great. We had an excellent time staying there!! I would definitely recommend the condo to others. The owners were easy to work with and answered all our questions without hesitation. We had a blast at the Baytowne Wharf, definitely a must see if you have children also great place to just hang out. We had a great time!!

This condo was more than we could have ever expected. The location is fantastic and we were so close to the beach, dining, and SHOPPING!! This condo has everything you could ever think you need and extras. Nice large kitchen, comfortable living room and very, very comfy beds. (we prob would've taken those with us if they would fit in our suitcases) It was also nice to be right by the pool, so we could get out for a quick swim without going to the beach. Despite what the media had been saying about the beach and the oil, the beaches were all beautiful and CLEAN! We saw people out everyday waiting to clean anything that washed ashore up, but we never saw them finding anything. We have just made it back home and we are already planning our trip next summer and hope this condo is available for us then. Thank you so much for sharing your home! You were just a joy to work with!

Owner response:Thanks so much Heather for your kind comments. Linda and I are so thrilled you had a wonderful stay in Destin. We hope you will return to our place in the future. You were a pleasure to work with also. Connie

Wonderful accomodations

This condo was a super place to stay. The pictures were exactly what we found. Its close enough to walk to the beach but without the constant beach street traffic. Quiet for my family, pool was very clean and grounds were well manicured. The fact that chairs and beach umbrella were provided was a plus for my family who doesn't frequent the beach often. Make sure you venture down to the public beach area on the left end (as you look at the ocean) for cool water activities. Destin Commons is a nice outdoor mall where you can eat at the famous Hard Rock Cafe, catch a movie and splurge at Cold Stone Creamery.

We very much enjoyed our stay. The condo is very nicely decorated, clean, and has everything you would need. Just a short walk to the beach and pool is right out the back door. Conveniently located to all shopping. Landlords are very nice and easy to work with. I would recommend this place to anyone! Thanks again for sharing your place with us.

Our vacation was PERFECT, and this condo really made us feel at home! It is beautifully decorated, wonderfully comfortable, and accommodating in every imaginable way. The owners are the BEST you will ever do business with, guaranteed! The pool is so nice and only footsteps away from your back door. The beach is an EASY stroll down a quiet side street! What else could anyone ask for? A+ for the condo and A+ for the owners! HIGHLY recommend!

This condo is very nice, confortable, and convenient to the beach, shopping, and restaurants. Our favorate places to eat were Ciao Bella, Cuvee Beach, and Pompano Joes. I went scuba diving on two ship wreaks, and my son and I went snorkeling off of the beach and Para Sailing. Jellyfish were a problem for a few days. When I return to Destin, I will be sure to stay in this condo again.
