Notes
- We both have traveled to many different beaches but we just kept coming back to Destin!! The location of this condo offers so many advantages. All shopping is North just a bike ride away, Close to Destin Harbor and its restaurants and night life. But still very close to Sandestin and Seaside. Great walking and biking path right outside the front door! Beautiful white sand beach right outside the back door! Matthew Wink

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 !

As our 1st family beach vacay, we had a great time. Felt like a home away from home. We loved waking up early and seeing the beach right from the condo..even saw dolphins one morning! Loved the free beach service, loved the clear water on crystal beach, and loved the close proximity to stores and restaurants. Matthew was easy to reach and very helpful.. we would love to come back!! Thanks for making our vacation so memorable!

This is our second time to stay in this property. We love the lower level so that we can walk right out to the beach with no stairs/elevator. Great location with nice sidewalks for walking or riding bikes. Beach umbrella service is provided at no extra charge and no hassle.

Love the beach front location on the ground level. Condo was perfect for us as we enjoyed the beach vaca. Very nicely decorated with everything we needed. We did not use the spartan pool however that wasn't why we were down there (beach). Owner was very easy to get along with and had excellent communications both before and during our stay. Would highly recommend.
