Loved the unit, decor and view!! The TV's were a little older and couldn't connect to the internet. The cable TV kept kicking us out so we tried to reset the boxes. Other than that we loved everything about our stay!

It was a very nice condo, but it was advertised to have a pull out sofa bed in the living room. The couch did not have a pull out bed so we had to go buy an air mattress. Other than that it was great.

Hi, Tanya!
Thank you for your review. We really appreciate you taking the time to provide us with this feedback as it helps us improve. It looks like there was a miscommunication regarding the sleeper sofa in the living room, which we sincerely apologize for. This verbiage and description has since been updated with the correct information. Our Guest Services team has reached out and left a voicemail to further discuss this, as well as offer a resolution. Rest assured, we will work our hardest to make sure this does not happen again. We hope you'll consider staying with us at Compass Resorts in the future!
Thank you again for providing us with this opportunity to improve. We hope you have a wonderful day!
Perfect sized condo for my family of 4. Clean and spacious. Gorgeous view of the beach. Short walk to the beach, pools, fitness center and The Back Porch restaurant. We will definitely stay here again!

Beautiful and spacious condo. Great water views. Absolutely loved the size of the balcony. Very short walk to the beach from the building. Check-in was quick and easy, so was check-out. Guest services was very friendly and helpful.. Overall very clean. Because of covid I had planned on washing the bedding and using my personal blanket. I'm happy this was my plan. As I was taking the bedding off to wash, I found a small child's hoodie and what looked to be some sort of case (maybe for glasses) stuffed in between the mattress and the footboard of the bed. Clearly the bedding hadn't been removed after the previous guest. For that reason, I gave 4 stars for cleanliness. Overall we enjoyed our stay and would definitely book this condo again.

My wife and I loved everything about this stay. The property was spacious and clean. We had our own marked parking space so we didn’t have to fight for a spot. The location was conveniently located to shops and Henderson State Park for some relaxing morning walks. The pool was spacious and beach was clean and convenient to have chairs and umbrella included.

Had to leave early due to medical emergency
I’m rating this a 0 for the simple fact we had to leave early due to an emergency medical situation with my mom and they said travel insurance didn’t cover having to leave early. Will not be using this app again. Have some compassion people. Wasn’t looking for a full refund. Just for the 3 days we couldn’t stay.

Beautiful #803
Stayed here for the winter of 2017. Loved our stay and this unit. View was very good, coming back next year. Lots of upgrades and it shows it. Only problems were carpet Should be cleaned or replaced with tile. Also washing machine needs to be replaced as there is only one cycle. Couch was uncomfortable after us staying there for several weeks. Overall though, beautiful unit and view.

i loved the property with the views and choices of hot tubs and pools. This property is very secure with a key fob for every entrance inside the resort. Don't leave home without it!! There is an ocean food and beverage covered deck with all the amenities of a first class resort. The beach had plenty of room for personal chairs and equipment with room to play games. The condo had a beautiful view of the ocean, it didn't have very nice furniture and mattresses were awful. One would think the rental agency would inspect such.

Nice room, well furnished with good view of the Gulf
We liked many things about the room and the resort had some nice extras BUT we felt that it could be much better. The condo was adequate size, well furnished and had most of everything you would need. Resort extras included a nice fitness center, tennis and basketballcourts, and secure underground parking. The balcony was excellent and we really enjoyed sitting out there but beware it is not so quiet. There is construction going on between the building and the beach (which will eventually block some of the view) and the road noise is significant. What we felt was missing from this resort was organized activities for both adults and kids, especially around the pool. The pool was large but could use a slide for kids or some other fun activities for kids. Biggest disappointment with the condo was with cleanliness, especially considering that the agency charges a significant cleaning cost in the rental price. The carpets were not that clean and there were stains and what appeared to be mold in both showers.

A Place we could call Home
We just recently stayed in this unit and we loved it so much we are reserving it again in October. We loved the layout of the place along with how clean it was. Also, had a spectacular view of the Gulf and was in walking distance to the beach and many other amenities. It is the best place we have stayed at in Destin!

Amazing view, gorgeous condo!
This condo is beautifully decorated and has an absolutely amazing view of the gulf! It was perfect for my family as my kids "felt right at home"...having their own rooms, a lovely balcony and ample space to play in. We were able to cook certain meals together and also go out whenever we wished. The building is located near all of the happening places. The kids loved hanging out at the pool all day! It's nice to be able to rent a condo, feel like you're at home and still be able to take advantage of the resort amenities. We will definately visit again. Thank you so much for a wonderful experience!
