Great place to stay!

We had a great time! the views were great and loved the access to the bay for fishing and the pools and lazy river. Also the walk to the beach through the walkway made things way easier with little kids. The convivence to the stores made things easier and Walmart delivers to the resort.

The unit appeared generally clean at first, but we ran into several issues. There was a slight musty odor, especially around the bunk bed area, which raised concerns about air quality. While most areas looked fine, the shower and master bathtub had visible buildup and staining.We also experienced functional and supply issues. The hot water ran out after just one normal shower, and the toilet paper provided was very limited—the roll in use was partially used with only one extra roll under each sink. This left about one full roll for three people over a seven-day stay, and we ran out before the end. Luckily, we had a car to buy more, but this should have been adequately stocked.The biggest concern was how we felt. After less than 24 hours, multiple family members became unwell, and I continued to feel sick enough that we had to leave the unit at times just to get fresh air. This did not seem like typical allergies. A Teladoc doctor suggested using an air purifier or leaving and offered an allergy prescription for what could potentially be a mold or mildew-related issue.On a positive note, the pool and lazy river were great, but the waterfall was not running during our stay, and we were not aware of that.Overall, while it looks clean at a glance, there are underlying issues that should be addressed for future guests.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. While we’re glad you enjoyed the pool and lazy river, we’re sorry to hear that certain aspects of your stay did not meet expectations. Cleanliness and guest comfort are very important to us, and we’ll be addressing your comments with our housekeeping team to ensure a more thorough inspection of areas like the bathrooms and bunk space. We’ll also have maintenance take a look at the hot water to ensure everything is functioning as it should. Regarding the initial supplies, we do provide a starter set of essentials for guests upon arrival, and we appreciate your feedback as it helps us evaluate where we can improve the guest experience. We’re sorry to hear you weren’t feeling your best during your stay. We’ll have the home reviewed out of an abundance of caution to ensure everything is in good order. We also appreciate you noting the waterfall, which is managed by the resort—we’ll be sure to pass that feedback along. Thank you again for your review. We truly value your input and hope to have the opportunity to provide you with a better experience in the future.

The entire experience was perfect!! The condo looked just like the pictures online. It was clean and well equipped with all that we needed. Also, Coastal Vibe Vacations was excellent.

Great property and location!

We loved our stay. Great location and everything we were looking for and wanted in a property. Pools, lazy river, close proximity to beach. Penthouse with roof access was pretty sweet, too! Only thing missing was a pantry or place to put non-perishable food items (instead of on the counter) and the floors were not clean. I wore flip flops in the condo while my husband and daughter did not and quite often ended up with the bottoms of their feet being black. Lovely accommodations and a lovely stay! We plan to be back!

Relaxing Getaway

We loved this condo. The location was quiet, relaxing, and still close enough to everything in Destin. We were able to walk to some great restaurants and attractions in Fort Walton Beach. There is even a new pontoon/jet ski rental, and Crab Island taxi company next door that was a lot of fun. The unit was clean and was stocked with everything we could need. The amount of space, 2 bathrooms, and sleeping spaces were great. I like the layout with the bedroom and bunk beds separated enough from the living room so that it can still be quiet if anyone is still out in the living room or patio. I had initially wanted to stay on the Gulf side, but so glad we chose we this one. The view was still amazing. It was so peaceful just sitting in the patio or rooftop deck looking out over the pool, back bay, and watching the boats coming in and out. Along the bay there was a nice boardwalk to take nice walks and spots to get down to the water. The beach was just a short walk across the street. We will definitely be back and will bring our boat next time!
