Hi Matthew! Thank you for sharing your positive feedback about your recent stay. We're thrilled to learn that the location added to your overall experience. Your review made our day, and we can't wait to see you back again!
Stay was great, when we first entered the room it smelled like dirty mop but initially went away with time. Love the view and the room

Thank you for your kind review! We're happy to hear the unit met your expectations and that check-in and check-out were easy. We look forward to hosting you again!
We all loved this condo and were sad to leave! When we walked in we were blown away by how clean, spacious and beautifully decorated the condo was. It had everything we needed too. We loved that one balcony showed incredible views of the bay and the lazy river. The other balcony, outside the master bedroom, has views of the Gulf. Everything exceeded all of our expectations!!

Thank you so much for the fantastic five-star review! We're thrilled that you had a wonderful time at our vacation rental. We'd love to have you back for another amazing stay!
Great condo for a family of 4! Updated kitchen, very clean. It’s an end unit so lots of light. Beautiful view of the lazy river pool and bay from the back deck and a view of the ocean from the Master deck in the front(most condos here don’t have that). We had a great time in the pool/swimming in the bay with most of our baseball team staying at the property as well. Thanks!!

We're delighted to receive your amazing five-star review. It's fantastic to hear that you had a fantastic experience at our unit. We'd love to have you back for another great vacation!
In general, our unit was satisfactory. Living area was quite dark, needed more light as reading was difficult. The deck facing the lagoon was very nice and relaxing. However, the front deck off the bedroom was quite close to a busy highway and the noise made it anything but relaxing.

Thank you for the wonderful five-star review. We're so pleased that you had a great time at our vacation rental. We'd be thrilled to have you back for another enjoyable stay.
Great place! Really enjoyed our stay! Would book again!
The condo was great! My only complaint is there were no beach towels just regular towels. And the beach chairs and such were very rusted.?? We had to ask for additional toilet paper and paper towels I was there was not enough stored . Everything else was spectacular.

We’re so glad you enjoyed your stay and appreciate your feedback. We’ll share your notes with our team to make sure supplies are better stocked next time. Hope to have you back soon!
The pool area was perfect for our kids. The walk to the beach is not bad as you just pack up for the day and head over. Our son loved being able to head to the bay in the morning and catch things with his net. My only complaints would be that the traffic on the main road is very loud. Bring a fan to drown out some of the noise when you are sleeping. I also feel the kitchen could have been stocked a little better. We went with friends whose condo had a lot more in their kitchen than we did and had to borrow some things from them. But all in all, the balcony was so nice to sit on and have a morning coffee and enjoy the view. The condo was big enough for my family of 5 and having a washer and dryer right in the unit was so convenient.

Reviewer Comments:
Sandpiper 508 had a beautiful view of the bay! The view of the bay with the lazy river and palm trees underneath made us feel as if we were in a Hawaiian resort. The resort is just a quick drive to Destin, which is where we ate each night. The condo itself was very spacious. I can't really find anything to complain about. The walk to the beach was not bad at all over the bridge. My only complaint with it is the access. We had to go down out elevator, over to another elevator, go up and walk across, then go back down to the ground floor. Other than that, no complaints about this resort and our stay! Highly recommend and will be back!

We loved our stay. Everything was clean when we arrived and the location of the condo is perfect.
This property is very clean and updated. It is within walking distance to all of the restaurants at the pier. It is a bit of a walk to get to the beach but you have a wagon and beach chairs in the condo to use. We would stay here again.
Overall, the place was better than even advertised online! Super clean, convenient, and had everything you need for a vacation (beach gear, towels, umbrella, wagon, kitchen appliances). It was also in a great location and walking distance to the beach.
The condo was perfect for our family! We loved our stay and would absolutely go back.

This condo was great. Perfect location with a view of the bay and the heated pool/ hot tubs/ and lazy river. So close to walk to the beach and lots of restaurants on the boardwalk. Super clean with comfy beds. We couldn’t have asked for anything more!

Reviewer Comments:
We occupied this unit during hurricane Laura. Not a bad place to be confined to during the hurricane. Very comfortable furniture, the internet worked, the kitchen was stocked well enough with pots and pans, etc. Never lost internet or cable during the hurricane, except for maybe a couple of mins. Location is GREAT. Very convenient to FWB and Destin. (Too bad most restaurants were closed during hurricane). Never used the pool or lazy river due to work and environmental conditions, but it looked nice, and wasn't too loud at all. I travel to this area frequently and plan on booking this unit in the future.
