Good communication from Host working thru a couple things. Overall a great place to stay in Destin with a family. Great location and kids enjoyed the turtles, fish and ducks around the lake.
We stayed for a month- late Jan through February. The location overlooking the lake on the water and a short walk to the Gulf beach was excellent. Parking was right outside our door with easy access to everything off of 98. Our host was nearby, attentive, and easy to access if needed. We cooked at home with all the tools needed. We also found several great places to eat— highly recommend— Crackin for breakfast and lunch; Louisiana Lagniappe and Mimmos for dinner; and for a special night out— Bijoux in Miramar Beach! The ‘snow bird’ community at Southbay is friendly and welcoming from all areas of the country. Only sorry that we missed the shuffle board tournament and potluck! Great place for our first ‘snow bird’ experience— home away from home!
We loved the area—absolutely beautiful, with a short walk to the beach. The condo had everything we needed and was beautifully decorated.The only downside was the hot water heater. Unfortunately, only one person could take a quick hot shower before the hot water ran out, which was challenging with kids waiting to shower after a cooler day at the beach.

Thank you for calling this issue to our attention We are so sorry that you had an issue with the hot water! This has not been a problem since we have owned the Condo. We will look into the issue immediately.
Condo was centrally located and the lake off balconies is so nice! Not too far from the beach or most attractions. Overall, decent place for the price!
Absolutely loved our vacation here. The condo was absolutely perfect for our family. The open area upstairs was a prefect place for family time at night. The location was amazing. A short easy walk to the private beach. Beach was absolutely gorgeous. We had the best week here and we hope to come back!
The house was very nice and the access to the beach with the umbrella and chair setup was great. Second time staying at this property can’t wait to stay again.
Great for our family. Beach access was super easy. The included chairs and umbrella was awesome. The location is super convenient to so many great restaurants and attractions
Great location and close walk to the beach! Everything was clean upon arrival. Nice updated condo. The owner was so amazing to work with! Would definitely stay again!
We loved our stay! The complex was quiet and close to everything. We enjoyed the pools and it was only a short walk to the beach. We enjoyed coffee on the balcony every morning. The lake view was beautiful and very quiet. It was well stocked with everything we needed.
We loved the location and the house was perfect for a family of 5. The kids had fun sharing a room and there was plenty of space. The area is great. We loved seeing all the turtles in the lake behind the house (we counted 25!) and the beach was a short enjoyable walk. I would highly recommend this property.
This property was even better than we expected. The location was convenient and only a very short walk to the beach. It had all amenities needed and more. Very clean and well cared for. Highly recommend for families!
