The condo was very clean, with plenty of kitchen ware if needed. The hosts were super responsive and quick to provide all the details we needed to enjoy our stay. We especially enjoyed how close the unit was to the beach. Super quick walk, cross the road and we were there. Close to a bunch of dining options. We enjoyed our weekend getaway and will definitely be back.

Thank you for the excellent review and all the nice compliments. We are always available for our guests. The location certainly can't be beat. We are glad you had a great vacation, and we look forward to your return.
This property was fabulous for me and my husband. Communication was stellar. The condo was incredibly clean. It had all the amenities (including Aloe Vera gel for the unintentional sunburn from our day in the sun on the beach!). We would definitely stay there again! The private beach is absolutely AMAZING!! The only extremely minor complaint is that the hairdryer that is provided didn't work...I even tried it in a couple different outlets. Thank you for a wonderful stay in Destin!!

Thank you for being such great guests. You are truly appreciated. We are glad you loved the condo, the private beach, and the amenities. We work hard to make sure our guests have a wonderful vacation. We look forward to your return, and we have replaced the hair dryer.
The property was exactly as described. The walk to the beach was very short, the condo was clean and had everything we needed. They even had items to bring to the beach if you wanted such as chairs, sunscreen, footballs, life jacket for littles, a beach umbrella, and more. It felt like our home away from home for the week!! Another plus was that when I did have to contact Tracy, she was quick to respond! We will definitely look to book this condo for future visits to Destin!!

Thank you for all the nice compliments. We are so glad that you had such a wonderful experience. We are always available for our guests, and we stock the condo with plenty of supplies. We look forward to your return. You are great guests,
Our host was amazing and kept us informed. Place was very clean and reasonable. The bed was so comfortable. Great location. Just a two minute walk to the beach. Will definitely come again
The property was super nice and very clean. It was very quiet and peaceful. My only issue and it’s my own fault there is several steps to climb and I had trouble with those. Again my own fault because I didn’t think to ask. Overall a wonderful experience
Great little condo with easy access to the beach. Convenient location within walking distance of a few bars and restaurants. The condo was clean, had everything we needed and the check-in/check-out process was very smooth.

Thank you for being such wonderful guests we appreciate you. Thank you for the five stars. We are glad you enjoyed the condo, and we hope you will be back again soon.
We had a great time staying at this condo! The check-in and check-out process was very easy and straight forward! Tracy was very easy to get a hold of with any questions or concerns we had leading up to the trip. The condo was super clean! The walk to the beach access was super easy and close. We loved all of the recommendations from the hosts leading up to our trip!
We enjoyed our stay . It is across the street but you do have your own entrance and code to get on your private beach . The water was clear and calm so you thought you were in the Caribbean it was so beautiful. Dave’s across the street had a great seafood platter we enjoyed. The Ruby slipper and Anotger cracked egg cafe were our fav breakfast/brunch place.

About the host
Hosted by Tracy D'Avella
We came for a vacation and fell in love with Destin. We began doing vacation rentals in 2007. It gives us great joy to rent to our vacationing guests and hear about what a wonderful time they had in Destin. Most of our guests come back year after year. We feel like they are family. We are always available for our guests and take great pride in giving each of them excellent customer service. Making wonderful family memories in Destin is what it is all about. We have so many with our own children.
Why they chose this property
Chateau La Mer is on Scenic Gulf Drive in the heart of Crystal Beach and is absolutely relaxing. The area is known as Crystal Beach for the exceptionally clean clear water and sugar white sand. It is the best area of Destin. After staying in different areas ourselves this is where we knew we wanted to be. We are certain you will love it too.
What makes this property unique
We fell in love with this condo the minute we walked in the front door. It is larger than most we had seen. The PRIVATE beach is such a wonderful amenity. The setting is lovely with tropical plants and flowers everywhere. It gives you a wonderful feeling of rest and relaxation. You can hear the birds sing at this resort. It's peaceful and beautiful.
