We appreciate your selecting our home for your vacation and so happy that you were pleased. Thank you for taking the additional time to provide your feedback.
Location is awesome. Right on the beach and chair service included. It is in a quieter area and less traffic than in Destin proper. Condo is clean, comfortable bed, and nice to have washer and dryer in unit. Love the option of renting one or two condos next door depending on number of family members. Host is great with communication if needed. We will return!

Thank you so much for taking the time for this review and the comprehensive feedback. I am energized to have this be a location that you will want to return to for your future travels.
The proximity to the beach and convenience of the pool/grill area made it an extremely family friendly stay. We flew in from Indiana and chose to rideshare rather than try to find a rental car, which proved to be ideal as well, in approximity to Miracle Strip Pkwy. We had a small crew of three and it was ideal for us. Best part is the ocean view stepping through the front door and getting acquainted with our hosts!

It was a pleasure to have your family at our little condo on the beach. We love it for many of the reasons that you have stated. Thank you for choosing us as your hosts and the extra effort to provide feedback.
Host very welcoming and great communicator. Very clean, updated and well maintained condo. Balcony deck provides fantastic view of sunrises and sunsets without having to go out. Beach powder white sand is best in the world. Planning to return for another stay.

It was a pleasure to have you and we hope that you do return.
We had a beautiful stay at this cozy one bedroom condo. The view from the second story balcony was gorgeous. The kitchen was well appointed, updated bathrooms were very nice. Beach chair service was the best part for us. The small building size meant we didn't have to take our towels down early in the morning. We had a front row seat everyday. The pool area had plenty of seating. The only drawback was the lack of a paved walkway around the building to the beach access bridge.

We really appreciate your staying. It is terrific that you were happy with the condo, the kitchen items, the balcony and the beach service. Part of the reason that we purchased at this facility is the smaller community. Now that the external construction has been completed, the board is working on improving/repairing the grounds. This Tuesday the HOA Board meeting includes this key topic. I will pass along this recent feedback. Thank you again.
We had an incredible time at this condo! The space was spotless, beautifully decorated, and had everything we needed for a comfortable and relaxing stay. The kitchen was fully equipped, the beds were super comfy, and the view was absolutely stunning. Communication with the host was prompt and friendly, making the entire process smooth from check-in to check-out. The location was perfect — close to local attractions, restaurants, and the beach. We can’t wait to come back and would definitely recommend this condo to anyone looking for a perfect getaway!

It is so rewarding to here that you had an incredible time. This is our goal. Thank you for this input and a nice tribute to the team that has worked so hard to get this home spotless. We do hope that you visit again. It will be our pleasure to have you and your family come for your getaway.
I really enjoyed my stay here! The location was fantastic, the view was beautiful, and I especially loved the balcony. Overall, I loved almost everything about the property.A couple of small downsides: there was no elevator, which normally wouldn’t be a huge deal, but since I had a sprained ankle and a heavy suitcase, it made things a little tough. The toilet paper was honestly the worst—felt like wiping with copy paper—and the toilets could have been a bit cleaner.On the positive side, the floors were surprisingly very clean (which isn’t always the case at beach properties where sand gets everywhere), and there were so many other great things about the place that the minor negatives really didn’t overshadow my stay.I’d definitely recommend it and would stay again!

Thank you for the input and for staying. It was a pleasure having you. We closed on this home April 30 and did scrub the toilets. Maybe we scrubbed them too much. I think possibly the toilets got scratched. We will replace the toilets over this coming off-season based on our observations and your input. The input and overall high rating are both apprecaited.
The only problemWe had is that the remote for tv in the living room didn’t workSo we had to go back and forth with one remote from living room to bedroom

About the host
Hosted by Judith Kalpin
I like being a host because when I was a corporate executive I made every effort for me and/or my team to provide the best solutions and service possible to clients. In addition I worked my best to help my sales managers, sales personnel, and professional support staff perform extremely well on a daily basis while developing themselves for a terrific career in place or to be upwardly mobile. This role of working hard to anticipate a guest needs and to respond quickly to help with anything unexpected keeps me on my toes and it is very rewarding when I can receive a 5 star rating on behalf of all the team that works to make the guest experience exceptional.
Why they chose this property
We selected this condomium community after staying ourselves several times as guests. It is quiet, yet accessible to many activities and restaurants. The best though is the view and the beach!
What makes this property unique
What stands out if the view, the beach, and as a host I work very hard to deliver a clean and pleasant stay for every guest.
