Well worth it

I'm a bit hard to impress but I must say, the location alone was well worth the money. Across the street from an amazing waterpark. A few minute drive to go-karts and amazing restaurants. The short 5 minute walk to the beautiful beach. The condo had everything you could need and more. I'd definitely book here again. The communication with the owner was quick and easy. Available any time I had a question, no matter the time.

Summer vacation

We absolutely fell in love with the condo. The view was amazing and condo had all appliances and necessities we needed. The location was a short walk to the beach. Traveling from Texas a added bonus was that everything we needed for the beach was provided. Giovanna was the best host we have ever had. She gave us every possible piece of information we needed without even asking all the way down to best spots to eat. On our next visit to Destin we will definitely be booking our stay at this location again.

Lovely Condo!

We had a great experience staying here on our first trip to Destin. Very cute and more updated than a lot of the condos we looked at. The beds were comfortable and the host was quick to respond with any questions we had. We really enjoyed sitting out on the balcony watching the fireworks one evening we were there. Our favorite time on the beach was between 6-8:30 when it was quieter and the chairs were all put up so you could hang out wherever you wanted. Quick walk from the unit. Highly Recommend!

Wonderful condo

My husband and I stayed at this wonderful condo and loved our stay. The condo was clean, super quiet, peaceful, very comfortable, roomy and had a great view. We were grateful to be away from all construction going on at several other condos on the beach. We used the amenities in the building: heated outdoor pool, hot tub and fitness center with bathrooms and all of it was wonderful. I even swam laps in the outdoor pool in Feb and the water was perfect. We were given a covered parking space close to the ground level elevators. The 1st floor had plenty of nice carts to help us get our belongings to and from the condo upon check in and check out. The walk to the beach was easy, we were provided with beach chairs, towels and a wagon too. Our host was immediately responsive to all correspondence. She checked on us and provided great places to eat in the area, which exceeded our expectations. I recommend this place without hesitation. ❤️

One week stay over Spring Break

For the positives: - the property manager was great. She responded quickly to any questions we had and was extremely helpful. - the condo was clean & comfortable - the view of the ocean and the surrounding area was very nice. - the beds were very comfortable. - the kitchen was well stocked except for dish towels. - neither the condo pool, nor the workout room were overly crowded. - the condo was only 2 miles from Henderson Beach State Park, the highlight of our time there. Negatives: - some things were different than what the advertisement portrayed. They are listed below. - The bright colors of the living room that we fell in love with didn't exist. Instead of a brightly colored couch there was a gray one instead. - The walkway bridge across the lake that can be viewed from the condo is not part of the resort's property. There is a sign at the bridge stating that only people from whoever owns that area can use the bridge. - The fountains were never on the whole time we were there. - The pictures of the beach and resort pools show them quiet and empty. The resort can hold way more people than their little area of beach can handle therefore they had beach chair rentals 4 or 5 deep on the beach with a small area for others behind them. None of the other resorts that we saw along the beach were as bad for lack of beach space for their guests. In summary, the property manager was great, the room and view were really nice, but the resort as a whole was way too crowded for us. We would most likely not stay there again.

I've used VRBO for many years and the condo along with the accommodations were outstanding!! The property owner was so easy to work with and made sure to reach out to make sure we arrived and everything was to our liking. Plenty of kitchen supplies if you choose to make meals. Had a beach closet full of everything we needed (ie. wagon, towels, cooler, chairs, umbrella, toys, etc). An added benefit......cable tv that had ALL the stations (something that has become almost null and void by property owners). We LOVED this place and plan to return next year!!!

About the host

Hosted by Giovanna Raccosta

Host profile image
I was born and raised in Italy, I'm a professional portrait artist, a mom of 3. Blessed with a wonderful family. Years ago I came to Destin for a visit, felt in love with the beach and with the man I married. Later we moved to Las vegas for his work and that's where we currently reside. A day hasn't passed that we don't dream of being in Destin instead. We fly back as often as we can. Destin is our happy place, a place to paint, write, enjoy the spectacular nature, relax and get inspired. I could spend days on the balcony overlooking the amazing colors of the coast. If sunbathing on the white beaches, or the early morning walks on the shoreline, swimming the clear waters, eating at our favorite restaurants, boating, fishing, crabbing, we always find ways to make lifetime memories. As a Sicilian native, I'm passionate about life. I love people and my guests and I treat them and treat everyone with respect and dignity like they are like they are my own . I truly enjoy and take seriously the art of hospitality. Hope to make your experience a very pleasant one.
