Great, affordable place to stay on the beach

We enjoyed our stay here! Everything was as advertised. The only downfall of this location is it’s not within walking distance to anything other than the beach. No problem if you’ve got a car, but if you want to experience anything else that Destin has to offer, you will need to drive.

Lovely

The location of this condo is great with a beautiful view of the ocean. It is spacious and clean, and I appreciate the luggage carriers and shopping carts…makes it easy to bring things to the 3rd floor via elevator. Best of all was the beach service provided by Alan. So friendly and great service! Hope to be back soon

Making memories

This was the second time my husband and I stayed in this unit and once again it did not disappoint! What was an even greater blessing was that our son, his wife and our Grand-daughter, who was just under two were able to stay part of the time. It was her first time to the Ocean and the memories we made with them will be treasured forever! ;)

We love the location and the family feel you get at this property. The only complaint we had this year was that the pickle ball courts were under construction (due to open 3/16) and did not actually open for the kids to play until 3/21. That is one of the highlights for the kids, so this was a big disappointment for them.

Unit was very pleasant and clean, though the main TV was not working and was not fixed during our stay. Tennis courts were closed due to damage in last's years hurricane and this was not disclosed on the website. Loud music by the pool from 10 to 10pm on weekend reverberated across the resort.
