Thanks for coming out to stay with us we really appreciate it and hope you'll come see us again sometime. One of the main reasons we bought a few units in this complex was because of the low density and deep beach as our toddler at the time had all the room in the world to play. So, glad you enjoyed the beach and thanks again for coming out. Safest of travels wherever they may lead!

I really appreciate you taking time out of your day to leave this review as they do truly help other travelers when booking their trips. It is one the most important things to me to see that you felt I was available to answer your questions as part of our mission statement is to have guests' worrying about nothing more than relaxing on vacation. We think the beach front access and location plays a role in that as well so glad you enjoyed the access and listening to the waves crash on the beach. Take care and please do keep us in mind for any return travels you may have as we would be honored to host you again at either of our condos in that building knowking there are numerous other places to choose from in Destin. Take care!

Beautiful location and great condo

Beautiful beach front view with a short walk to the beach and pool, which was great with young kids. Condo was very clean and provided multiple essentials most condos don't and enough supplies to last more than 1 day (i.e. beach towels, toilet paper, paper towels, trash bags, laundry detergent, dishwasher detergent, dish soap, hand soap in bathrooms, shampoo, conditioner, body wash). It was nice to not have to buy a bunch of essentials while vacationing and have them readily available to use. Kids loved the bunk beds with tv's on the wall. Highly recommend condo for a family vacation.
