THE BEACH: The 'wet sand beach' is not private property, so enjoy sitting, relaxing or building sandcastles on the white sandy beaches.

From shoreline birds, beach-nesting birds, sea turtles and dune mice. The survival of these animals is by protecting the sea oats and sand dunes which are very fragile and cannot survive being trampled on.

Nice Condo, Views are Amazing!

This condo is in a great location, view and access to beach is great. The condo was not as clean as expected (Sand all over the floors and in the shower upon arrival) the check in process was pretty annoying (the unit was not available for check in, until almost 5pm) and unfortunately the dryer did not work properly.

Great property and location

The condo was as it was listed. All the pictures are accurate. You are steps away from the beach. Very easy access to pool and beach. A completely stress free stay. The kitchen is well appointed with everything you need. Great water pressure, which is important to me. I loved that there’s no carpet anywhere. A really great central location to everything!!

Great time

The apartment is great, 3/2, open concept. Important to know that this is a rental property, not a hotel. Therefore be ready to get basic stuff with you like Shampoo, Soap and towels for the beach. Luckily there is a Walmart not to far away from the apartment and we were able to get what we were in need of. Great Family Time.

The property was exactly as pictured! A great unit for my family!

We loved the balcony view of the beach and pool. Every bedroom has its own bath, which was important with teenagers in tow. The pool was perfect for my eight year old. My husband appreciated HD TV to watch final four basketball. We loved renting umbrella chairs next to the ocean, and walking the beach to the BackPorch restaurant. The staff in the building was friendly and helpful. We hope to return to this unit soon!

Condo was recently updated, so it didn’t match the listing but it was a pleasant surprise.

Beautiful remodel! We originally thought there were only 2 bathrooms! When the door to the room with 2 beds is open it totally conceals the door to the 3rd bathroom!

First time in Destin

Great central location. Gated property. Nice heated pool and steam room. Plenty of room in condo. Bathrooms are a little small. Beautiful view! Only wish they had more laundry and dishwashing soap, some coffee filters and salt and pepper. When only coming for a week you buy that and only use a very little and then it gets thrown away. But wonderful place to stay overall. I would highly recommend.
