It was okay, the unit had a somewhat of a musty smell but not intrusive. The kitchen was well equipped with a fridge, freezer, dishwasher and toaster oven. The beds were okay but pillows a bit uncomfortable

Beautiful place, perfect for our family of 5. The home is exactly as described. The place is nicely decorated, clean, and well maintained. The kitchen had everything we needed to prepare meals. The beds were comfortable. The beach chairs (2) and umbrella service were great. It is a decent walk to the beach but we didn’t mind. Location is close to so much. No issues with getting into the unit upon arrival. No issues during our entire stay. We would definitely recommend!

About the host

Hosted by Pancho Stojov

Host profile image
We've been vacationing in Destin for nearly 40 years and have watched this sleepy little fishing village grow into a world class vacation destination. The one thing that doesn't change are those pristine white sandy beaches that we love and the friendly warmth of the people who live and vacation here. We are passionate about maintaining our townhouse and know that if you stay there you will find it impeccably clean, cozy, inviting, and comfortable.
VIOLET & PANCHO STOJOV OWNERS

Why they chose this property

What sold us on owning our condo was of course the pristine sugar sandy beaches and the community that Southbay by the Gulf is. It really is home for us! We also love the short walking distance to all the shops, restaurants and all activities.
VIOLET & PANCHO STOJOV OWNERS

What makes this property unique

No high rises, elevators, and busy roads to cross.
