SummerPlace 506-Incredible View-Updated New Appliances&Furniture-FREE BeachSetUp

We enjoyed the condo tremendously! Nine women and there was plenty of space. The views were spectacular. The pools were spotless. Highly recommend!

Dishwasher didn't work...had to wash dishes all week.

Had to ask how to get into workout room...needed a key that was not offered or mentioned about.

Chair worker drama - gave us a deal - owner undone the deal....on last day had to give her more money.

Chair worker arrested.

Leak under kitchen sink.

Heroin addict arrested on beach.

Group of parting girls...drunk, foul language.

Fishing on beach in between people playing in water.

Fort Walton beach seemed more like partying Panama city beach. Where did the "family Fort Walton beach" we love go?

Definitely will not stay in Summer Place condo building again.....hoping further down toward opposite end it will be more of a family beach .....or will have to find new beach to go to. For $3000 plus dollars a week....expect classier than what we saw this week.

Disappointed.

We really enjoyed our time at the beach and condo. Owners were great to work with. And provided us a good list of places to eat and things to do. We had a group of 6 adults and 3 children. The condo was really nice but maybe just a shade small for our group. The 3rd bedroom is really small. The kids opted to sleep on the hide-a-bed instead since the 3 wouldn't fit in the bunks. Smaller kids or just 2 would probably be fine in the bunks. Only having 2 bathrooms, was a bit more of a pain than I thought as we had to share our master bath with the kids, as the other half of our group staying in the large 2nd bedroom shared that attached bath. The beach was super clean all week, the water mostly except 1 day. Pools were great. Very good set up at the condo. No parking garage that has dinky spots, so that was nice. Smaller place only 6 levels, so elevators were pretty quick and beach wasn't packed in front of the condo. Condo had beach service (chairs) which is nice. I was concerned when I saw a sign going down to the beach that said No Alcohol. But that is either not enforced or maybe only during spring break. Not sure. Always plenty to do in the area, but the traffic is terrible in July. Every bit as bad as Panama City Beach if not worse. So you almost hate to go anywhere. We thought leaving the beach early 3:00ish to go do things would be OK. It wasn't. It was helpful for getting right in to dine though. There is construction on Hwy 98 in Destin right now, so that isn't helping. You just have to accept that it will take a while to go places unless you wait until later to come back to the condo.

Where to begin! The locations is awesome. There is so much close by. You can go to the gulfarium that's 4 condos down and it's next door to the board walk and pier. 14 min away is the Air Force museum. 10 min away is destin. This is a space unit condo so the beach has lots of room for guest and pool. They provide carts to help with your luggage. They have a staff right there for your needs. They have a mail box you can use to send your love ones postcards. The door just takes a simple code to no worrying about keys to get into the condo. Across the street is a nice 2 mile one way side walk for those who like to excerise. Condo has a nice clean gym as a well looking over the pool and beach view.

Pros

Beds are all comfortable

View of the ocean

2 elevators

Private parking for condos guest

Grocery store is very close

Water was always hot

Internet was fast

You get a umbrella and two free chairs. Extra $ if you want more. Sign in early at the beach if you want a good spot.

They had two gas grills that are on timers and two picnic tables and one charcoal grill. Right next to the pool.

They even had a box between the gym and pool of toys and water gear that people didn't want anymore after their trip so go there first thing to see what goodies you can find for the beach and pool.

The condo was clean and everything was so nice. My 56 year old mother slept in the bunk rm and said it was very comfortable. I will be telling my friends and family about this place for sure.

Cons

Dishwasher didn't work at all

Oven struggled getting up temp every time

The second I walked through the door I was in awe of the view, it was absolutely stunning. The condo itself was in a great location with easy beach access. Pools were big and clean. Our room was also clean and nicely decorated. This vacation was for my mom who has stage 4 lung cancer, her last wish was to go to the beach with her whole family, and everything was perfect. Even on the days she wasn’t up to going to the beach, she would sit on the balcony, watch the ocean, and relax. I would definitely recommend staying here.
