Guestbook comments from the owner
We stayed in this condo June 2011 and absolutely loved it. It was far enough away from the pool so there was not alot of noise at night. The condo had the most comfortable king size bed in the master room that I have ever slept in on vacation. Thank you guys for making this a very relaxing visit for us. We look forward to next year!

LOVE THIS PLACE ! and YES, it is OCEAN FRONT !
WE WILL DEFINATELY BE REFERRING THIS CONDO TO FAMILY AND FRIENDS ! IT'S AN IDEAL LOCATION ! The pictures definately accurately reflected the condo's appearance and location... OCEAN FRONT ! Don't forget to eat at The Donut Hole, and we also love The Back Porch ! Matt was sooooo helpful and was exactly the type of person I want to deal with every year as I plan my vacation ! Thanks Matt, especially for letting me have the condo YOU planned for your family that very weekend on such late notice... wow !
Perfect family spot!
We are a family of 4, with a 5 year old and a 2 year old and this condo was perfect for everything we wanted to enjoy in Destin! My favorite thing about it was the first floor easy access to the beach. Wake up with the perfect view of crystal beach right outside your window! The location is within 5 miles to all of our favorite restaurants and activities. The condo was very clean and had all the necessities for us to enjoy our week there. Matthew was also very helpful in meeting all our requests while we stayed. Free wifi is also included. I highly recommend this condo for anyone staying in Destin! We will be back!
Slice of Heaven!
Our little family loved unit 112A! We have an almost 2 year old, and it was so convenient to walk out the back door literally steps from the sand. It was so nice to be able to run back to the room for naps and lunch as well. The condo itself was very clean and had all the conveniences of home. We used the grill located right down from the condo three nights- being able to grill over looking the ocean was my husbands dream. I always read reviews prior to booking our vacation condo and this condo is exactly like the pictures. It is also in a great location just minutes from our favorite spot Pompano Joes. Matthew, the owner, was such a pleasure to work with and was also super quick to respond with any questions I had during the booking process and upon check-in. We will definitely be back- that view each morning was amazing. Thanks for a wonderful vacation, Matthew and family!
Great beach / Great condo!
The condo was just Matthew said it would be. There was 6 of us. (2 adults,14, 13, 10 and 7) The condo had plenty of room. Kids loved the condo, beach and the pool. Only issue and it's out of Matthew's control is that there were 4 young kids above us that liked to run in the condo and made it noise down below but being on first floor was great for everything else. Condo stayed cleaner because we could leave all the beach toys outside. We have stayed in these condos 2 other times and always been up stairs and had take the elevator and carry everything in the front door. We will always be staying on first floor from now on.
Incredible!!!
Amazing! This condo was perfect for our family of four. Ground level access straight to the beach was a nice break from a high rise condo. Parking was great too. We parked right outside our unit the entire stay. The owner was so awesome to work with before and during the stay. The unit was very clean and the beds were very comfortable. Plenty of towels and toilet paper were provided. High speed internet worked great. We cannot wait to go back next year. I highly recommend this rental!
Loved it
Loved the ground floor with our small kids. Everything was perfect for us!
