Wonderful vacation!
Patrick was great to work with. We had a slight issue when we arrived, and he was very responsive and got it taken care of as soon as he could. The beach service was great! I would definitely stay here again!

Great Family Place
We stayed with our three children (3, 5, and 7) and had an amazing time. It was a very quick and safe walk to the beach. We loved the large table in the dinning room. We played many games of Uno.

A slice of paradise
This condo was PERFECT! My family and I booked with Patrick for a quick visit. His communication was precise, and easy. I felt like I was chatting with a friend I'd known for years. Upon check in, the pace was comfortable, super cute and clean. Plenty of amenities were provided. The beach was everything. Walking distance from the condo. My kids loved the pool too. Such a kid friendly/family area. Loads to do around the area as well. I will definitely save this as one of my favorite spots, and book again in the future.

Host profile image
I live in Birmingham, AL and this is my personal vacation home. I've owned it for many years and keep it clean and updated. Very private yet right in the heart of Destin (see map). Just as quiet and peaceful as the day I bought it! Drive right up to the front door and unload your car (no elevator hassle). Short 3 minute, 200 yard walk to the beach. 280+ positive reviews on VRBO. Hope to have you as a guest soon. Patrick
