We are so happy that you enjoyed your stay at leeward key 1005 and look forward to your return. Leeward key in Miramar Beach is the best! Private beach with beach service and a great view. Thanks again
Great location. Steps from the beach and pool. Clean. The only recommendation I have is maybe replace the front load washer seal as its pretty moldy and put umbrellas in the pool area for shade. Otherwise, a great place to stay with beautiful views!

Grew up coming to this condo. Love it. Super peaceful. Brought back tons of memories from when my grandmother owned a condo and my dad would bring us down when I was a little boy. Can’t wait to come back. The girls had a wonderful time.
Nicely decorated unit in great location. Very good views. Extremely comfortable bed. Stocked kitchen.

The condo was in a great location with beautiful views of the gulf! The place was updated and beautiful (and actually looked like the online photos😊). Hosts very responsive to questions. Daily beach setup service (two chairs/umbrella) was a plus. Very short walk across the street to one of the two pools and the beach. Hope to visit again next year!

Loved the condo. Great location. Very clean. Ice cream man comes around every day. We would definitely stay here again!! The only thing I would suggest is supply a hairdryer.
This was our 4th time staying at Leeward Key and this was by far the best condo we have stayed in! Very clean! Amazing decor! We were pleasantly surprised at how many items were left by previous guests (cleaning supplies, hairdryer, toilet paper, etc.). We will definitely be staying at this unit next year! :)
Well appointed. Great beds and sheets. Stocked kitchen. Some of the rugs needed replaced. Two pools but no umbrellas for shade. Complimentary umbrellas and chairs at beach were nice.
This beautiful condo on the 10th floor has breathtaking views from the balcony and the primary bedroom. The condo was very well appointed and tastefully decorated. My husband and I enjoyed breakfast on the balcony overlooking the beach and ocean as well as relaxing and recharging setting on the beach near the water. Our adult boys enjoyed the Destin area and local water sports. Perfect condo, perfect location, perfect vacation for our family! Can’t wait to go back!!!
Loved this rental! It was amazing and the perfect size. I would highly recommend this unit to others. It is everything as described. I booked for my husband, teen, and myself, and at last hour another couple and teen joined us; we fit perfectly with pullout couch. The condo is beautifully decorated, clean, spacious, and a great location. Beach is beautiful. Balcony has the best view and lovely for morning coffee and breakfast. Grills available in parking lot behind pool, which makes for great grilling in evening. Look no further, place is FAB!

I just wanted to tell you how amazing this unit is. And how our friends came to see it and marveled at how beautiful it was designed and how classy of an operation you run. The kitchen is supremely appointed. It’s extremely clean. It’s beautiful. The views were unmatched.
We came with a group staying in another close-by location, and saw the STARK differences in places to stay. You provided high quality for peak season and for that we appreciate you. We will return!
The codo is very cute and looks as listed. It felt smaller upon arrival, but was more than adequate. The furnishings are super pretty, and the view is PERFECT. The balcony was a highlight.
Cozy furniture out there would be an improvement, but the high top table and chairs are nice. The building itself is very basic but the elevators were fast and not overcrowded. The pools are nice. Kitchen is stocked decently, refrigerator works but is a bit noisy and runs a lot. Attention to detail on the cleaning could be better. I'm picky, but the corners were dirty and under tables in hard to reach areas were not clean. It could be because the attachment wand on the vacuum cleaner was missing. Washer and dryer worked well. Overall it was a nice place to stay and a great location.
We enjoyed our stay. A great property, close to the beach. We enjoyed starting each morning with a coffee on the Balcony, watching the waves crash into the beach. Great having gas and charcoal grills available to use.
Thank you so much for your 5 star review. We are so glad that you enjoyed your stay and hope that you will be back again very soon.

Love the location to the beach and other attractions. Loved that it was pet friendly. Some house keeping conditions needed to be addressed.
We had a wonderful time this past week at Leeward Key. This is our 4th time in five years staying at the Leeward Key Condo's. Beautiful views of the beach. We will be back again next year.
