This place is definitely a gem and we can’t wait to come back! Our 3-year-old had the best time in the pools and we were just a short drive (approx half a mile) to the beautiful beach with clear blue water and the whitest, softest sand I’ve ever experienced. Thank you so much for the beautiful place to stay!
Very clean. Had everything we needed. Great view of the huge lagoon pool. Very roomy

We absolutely loved our stay in this property, the views of the pool were great and it was perfect for our little family. We are planning to come back to this property next year!
The condo was clean, comfortable, and convenient for our stay. It's just a short walk or drive to the beach, and the pool was awesome. Every meal we ate at the Palms Grille was so good we opted to stay in and eat there and not go out for most of our meals. We'd definitely come back and recommend to others.

This property was very Kid-Friendly. Only con was that the floors were not clean. My four year old started walking around the apt with his bare feet and it was black a few minutes later. The check-in was really easy, the beach access was about 11 min walk but not so bad. There were a lot of things to do close by us. Will definitely come back to do another family vacation here.
The condo was clean and welcoming! It was perfect for me and my two teens! Would definitely recommend.

Clean, taken care of and as described. Check in was fast and the front desk lady was very through. It’s a larger property but she explained and marked a map very well so there were no issues parking and finding our way. The room was very clean and neat. The pool area is huge and we never felt crowded swimming and hanging out. We did have a small hiccup on our stay but Devin (one of the managers) jumped on it and took care of us, she was awesome! Overall we were very happy with our stay and likely would stay here again.

Palms of Destin is great for a family vacation. Our condo was fine. My only complaint is that it did have a funky smell- it wasn’t terrible, just not pleasant. I read other reviews that the AC wasn’t cool enough, but it was fine for us, we’d keep the curtains closed during the day when we weren’t inside and it cooled down just great. My kids loved the bunk beds.
