  My husband and I were just thinking back to our amazing Destin vacation at this condo last August. The condo was immaculately clean, spacious, comfortable, well-appointed, and exactly what we were looking for for our family of six! Brenda was so helpful and responsive with all of our questions, and she did everything she could to make our vacation absolutely wonderful and memorable. We all enjoyed the beautiful white sand beaches, and my husband and I also appreciated the awesome views from the quiet balcony, morning and night. Brenda and her husband obviously take great pride in their Ariel Dunes condo, and they have created a perfect "home away from home" for all their guests. We are working on our 2013 vacation plans, and we are hoping to plan another late-summer stay at this beautiful Destin condo!

  Recommended for: Families with teenagers, romantic getaway, families with young children.

  Owner response: We always love hearing great reviews from our guests. You're welcome back anytime to re-experience the beach and our condo. Thank you for your kind words.

  Brenda and Bill, you have a wonderful condo! Our family had a wonderful time staying in your Home Away from Home. The photos and description of the condo are 100% accurate. The property was very well maintained and clean. The views from the balcony were amazing. Brenda is so sweet and replies to any concerns immediately. We definitely know where to stay for our next trip to Destin. I would recommend this condo to all my friends and family.

  Owner response: I'm so glad you and your family had a great Labor Day weekend at the beach. Your comfort is important to us and we are happy to know you enjoyed your stay. Please come again!

  My wife and I only live less than 1 hour from the beach and we've stayed in different condos once or twice a year for the past several years, BUT we finally found HOME! This was not only the best furnished and decorated and equipped unit we've stayed in, it also has one of the best views and ammenities we've seen. We felt right at home from the minute we opened the door until the day we left and our out-of-town family felt the same way! We're already planning our next visit and can't wait to share it with the rest of our family and friends. Thank you so much Bill & Brenda for allowing us to share your home away from home.

  Your home away from home was wonderful. My family and I enjoyed every second we were there together. The accomodations are excellent and the condo was beautifully furnished and very well maintained. Thank you Brenda for being so accomodating. We look forward to returning next summer. Thanks Stuart Natchez, MS

  Wow! This condo is everything the pictures show and more. Beautiful decor, very clean, great comfy beds and the view is simply amazing. We spent every morning on the patio having coffee, talking smart, and planning our day. Easy to find your way around and many options on activities. That is, if we decided to do anything at all. We played tennis, walked, went to waterworks?, mini golf, (do your outdoor activities that are outside and away from the water in the evening so it is cooler) & we shopped of course. You just can't go wrong renting this condo. I almost hate to say this for fear it may not be available for us again when we want to visit again. The beaches were just as I remembered. White, soft sand that feels like powder (so my husband says) and he has feet as soft as a baby's. No BP Oil at all! We stayed in for dinner a couple of nights had crab and shrimp from Skippers (i think) Fish Market next to the Winn Dixie. Great service, they even steamed our food for us. Be sure to visit Dewey Destins for dinner. Great food, service and price. Didn't care too much for the downstairs cabana resturant. We went there for breakfast and after 2 hours some of us still hadn't received our food. No worries, maybe having a bad day. We all have them. Had drinks and listened to music one night and service was fine. Only one of us in our group of eight had visited Destin before and everyone was very pleased. We will definately be back! I've already passed this condo info on to several friends and clients. A great time had by all! Thanks Boise, Idaho

  This is a great property. Beautifully furnished, very well maintained, and ideal for our group of 8 (4 children and 4 adults). The kitchen had everything we needed for cooking, the views were stunning, and the pools were great. The only negative was that we had to leave!

  Owner response: It's a pleasure to have great people like you as our guests. Thanks for the compliments...we'd love to see you back at Ariel Dunes again soon!

  Brenda, We had a wonderful time at your place. I travel for a living 2 weeks a month and have never stayed in a more comfortable place. I noticed so many small and big touches that there are too many to mention. The beds, fridge, balconies,pool, luggage carts, decorating, everything was 5 star.

  Owner response: Thanks for the kind words, Doug and Trina. We strive to make our guests feel right at home. I'm so glad you had a relaxing and fun few days. Come back soon!
