The unit was clean, comfortable and exactly what we were looking for on the beach. The host was very communicative and quick to respond from booking to arrival and departure. Loved the 2nd floor view of the beach and starting my morning with a cup of coffee on the balcony. Having beach service each day was a definite plus!If you have mobility issues the stairs to the unit and beach might be a concern, but for us it was perfect and we look forward to a chance to stay again!

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!

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!

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.

Perfect place to getaway & relax & celebrate our birthdays & anniversary with a special touch from our host Judi & John (Thank you!) Very easy check in & communication with the host was very prompt. The property was very neat and tidy! Updated appliances with ice maker, plenty of dishes for cooking & eating in if you choose. They provide what you need to start your stay such as a couple dish & laundry pods etc. Location of the property is perfect! Just a few steps and you’re walking on the sugar sand to the beach chairs and umbrella service! There are some great restaurants close by & grocery store. We enjoyed spectacular views of the beautiful gulf from the balcony and also through the large slider door. Comfortable sofa & chair & I liked having the option of eating at the table or bar/island area. Nicely decorated with a surf theme! There’s no bust elevator to wait on just a few steps to the doorstep! Plenty of closet space with plenty of hangers and drawer space for clothing. I highly recommend this beautiful space for vacation and will definitely stay again! Thank you for sharing your beach home with us! We will be back!

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.

About the host

Hosted by Judith Kalpin

Host profile image
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.
