Several Issues - great location
I have stayed in this location (different condos) many times. Unfortunately there were several issues. The condo was not clean. Sand everywhere. I had to vacuum and sweep. Toilets had issues wouldn’t flush and would continue to run if not fixed each time. Master bathroom sheets didn’t fit. Got woken up being smacked by the fitted sheet. No extra pillow cases, extremely thin blanket. Was told beach service was still available (all of my previous stays included chairs and umbrellas) this unit doesn’t pay so be prepared for a $300.00 a week fee. So in actuality the beach service isn’t available and should be clearly stated in profile. There was excessive trash under 2nd bedroom bed it was gross and also some in master. While many small issues they built up to be an irritation. The location is BARE NONE the best in Destin. Close to everything. I will stay again not this unit unfortunately with issues.

Spring break trip
Property had a great and convenient location. Great pool and beach access. Clean unit that fit our needs. Bedrooms were a little smaller than what it seemed in pictures but comfortable beds. Start up supplies were appreciated.

Great condo, but a few complaints
The condo itself was very nice. Very clean and well equipped. It was per the description. However, it was lacking in some necessities that i would expect, such as toilet paper, paper towels, dish soap, garbage bags. It had these things, but only like 1 of each so they quickly ran out. one garbage bag wont get it done. One roll of toilet paper...not good enough. Also, 2 building complaints. There are 3 elevators for the giant building. Only 1 worked. That was a pain. Also, just an irritation was the beach situation. The building puts up chairs and umbrellas...lots of them...and you can rent for $50 per day. One umbrella and 2 chairs. Not only is that a bit riduculous, but if yoh dont want to pay it you cant even set your stuff up next to the water even if you get there before they set up. Maybe this is normal...i am not sure, but it was irritating. Those were building issues though. The condo itself was very nice and we enjoyed our stay!

Clean condo
Enjoyed our stay. A little pricey, but it was a holiday weekend. Only one elevator was working which was inconvenient. Overall, it was a positive experience.

Summer vacation
We rented this condo for 6 nights and it was perfect for our family! We travel to Destin every May and hope to return to this condo in the future. The resort style pools were my kids favorite. The proximity to the BackPorch Restaurant allowed us to just walk over and not have to worry about parking. Thanks for a great trip! We did not have any issues while we were there at all.
