We are so glad you enjoyed the condo, its location and its amenities. Thank you for taking the time to give your great rating and review. Hope to host you again.
My family and I stayed here for a week. It was my 2 children’s first time to the beach. This place was perfect. They enjoyed the home and we enjoyed the convenience. We plan to come back and stay here again.
The condo was perfect for our family of 5. It was well stocked. The balcony was amazing and it was just a short drive to the beach. We would definitely book this condo again!

Exactly as described, close to beach, close to everything
Exactly as described in the listing. Easy access to everything in the Destin area. Close proximity to the beach (walkable) or parking spaces available close by. End of the road provides easy viewing of fire works.
I loved this rental!!! It was just beautiful and went above and beyond my expectations. It was clean, functional and very well decorated. Plenty of seating for friends and family to come over.
Thank you again such an amazing stay. It meant the world to my family.

We are so glad the condo and its amenities met your expectations. Thank you for taking your time for this beautiful review. Hope to host you again.
Thanks for allowing us to rent your property. The weather was cold for Florida in December but we had a great time. Just make sure you reach out to the property manager to confirm the code to the property. We had slight issues but it all worked out.
Overall, would rent again. Thanks!!

From the owner: "We are glad you enjoyed your stay! However, as was explained by the local contact, the manager sent you the code. Unfortunately, on the morning of your check-in, the keyless pad had to be replaced and they had to create the new codes just before your arrival. This was the reason the local contact provided the code to you less than a minute of your arrival. We hope to host you again"

Wonderful accommodations
This 2 BR/ 2BA faculty on the first floor with a back patio on the water was wonderful. It was a very comfy quiet place with a short walk to the beach. The owner was very supportive with quick reply’s every time. We were given a door access app on our phones ahead of time and it was called “August access utility” I think and it worked great. That was good since the manual push button keypad approach didn’t work for us. We also loved how all of the access information was provided to us immediately after we booked it several weeks ahead of time and it’s always comforting to have all that information provided so early. We thank the owners for such a wonderful stay and we highly recommend it.

Beautiful Place, Terrible Communication
Firstly, the property was beautiful. It was a wonderful place to stay, close to everything, and only a short walk to the beach. However, the check-in process was horrible. No one contacted us with the door code. My family & I sat at a local business emailing and calling customer service for nearly 2 hours. After talking to approximately 6 people, we FINALLY got a door code to check in. Like I said, our stay was wonderful but the customer service of Evolve really needs to step up.

Response from owner: "I am sorry to hear about the lack of communication. However, our manager sent you 2 emails with the code and the pre-stay instructions for check-in. In the pre-stay instructions, we provide the phone number and the email address of the contact person. We always advise our guests to contact the local contact for any questions or problems that may arise at the check in and during the guest stay. The local contact always answers it within minutes of any text or call. I hope you have contacted him. Hope to host you again."
Super clean, beautiful place. My mother-in-law stated that she would give it 10 stars if she could since the pictures don’t honor how nice and well maintain is it.
The resort has nice amenities, several pools and hot tub and just few minutes from the beach from the private walk beach. Everything was provided in this condo, great and quiet view. It is perfect for a relaxing getaway; however, everything is within minutes, several great restaurants and entertainment.
We appreciated the Beach stuff and toys since we flew, and it was difficult to bring beach staff. Super comfy beds with adorable and stylish décor, again my mother-in-law was happy since they provided a mattress topper for the king bed and the second room has 3 nice comfortable twin beds and my son used the queen air mattress.
The host had great communication withing minutes. The check in was easy. Everything was perfect for our family vacation. We will come back to this adorable place.

Destin 2024
Check-in process was great. We were even able to check in two hours early. We did have to reach out to the property manger regarding debris coming from an air vent above the top bunk, the tv in the bunk room not working, and the a/c holding temps b/w 85-90 degrees. The property manager was very responsive and sent an A/C technician to check the cooling issue the next day. It ultimately appeared to be a remote program setting we could not control independently. There was ultimately no remedy for the debris coming from the air vent above the bunk during our stay. We did close it to prevent further debris falling on our son, however, this increased the room temp. The tv was also not addressed. I can say the condo was well stocked with chairs, beach cart, floats, etc. A muffin tin could be added in the kitchen. :)

Amazing place-not so great customer service
This room was amazing! One of the prettiest and best decorated places I have ever stayed at. The walk to the beach was short, and the views from the balcony were gorgeous! Overall, we really loved our stay here! However, the add was a bit misleading. There is not complementary beach service with chairs. In the room there is a double camp chair, and that is all. When we used the beach chairs/service on the beach, we had to pay $28 for 1 chair for 1/2 a day. There was also no Netflix, as stated in the add. When we reached out to the provided contact to ask about these things, we were met with very harsh and rude customer service. We tried to be understanding and not get upset about these things (when we first reached out, we were honestly just asking if we were suppose to have it or not after having some issues at the beach, and we didn’t watch much TV so Netflix wasn’t a big deal either), but rather than apologizing for the mistake, we were responded to with statements such as “well if you just read the add, you would CLEARLY see it was just COMPLEMENTARY anyways”. Evolve was very helpful in refunding us $150 for this misleading information, but please be aware before you stay here about this. Once again, the room itself was beautiful and a great place for us to stay. Customer service is just lacking.

Hi Jessica, we want to make vacation rental easy for everyone, and we're sorry if you felt caught off guard. The homeowner would like to share the following: Our listing makes it clear that we provide beach chairs, umbrellas, a cooler, etc. so that guests do not have to rent these from the beach. We have high standards of hospitality and apologize if you experienced anything other than this as the guest contact walked you through the amenities. Thanks for your feedback!

Rachanee, the right vacation home is everything, and we're disappointed if this wasn't the one for you. We followed up with the homeowner after reading your feedback, and they wanted to share the following:
We use professional photographers to ensure our images accurately reflect our property and guests can decide before booking if the decor meets their expectations. We’ve confirmed that we do advertise all beds provided in the listing description, there is one king-size bed, and four twin beds available. As for the mattresses, they are new and of high quality and while we try to accommodate all guests' comfort, we're sorry the mattress didn't meet your preferences.
We do all we can to make the best possible stay, and we look forward to this property hosting many satisfied guests.

Great
Would definitely stay here again
Except other reviews said squeaky bed and they were right and it was annoying,
Apart from that basically perfect and very responsive guest contact
It would also have been nice to have had a bbq .
I give this a 5 star the property was clean and had everything you needed . It’s a walking distance from the beach . It was our first time to Destin and we will be back next year !!!!
We spent the week here with our 3 kids (ranging in ages 18 months-7 years) it was perfect distance to beach and pools! We enjoyed that the kids had their own bedroom and bathroom 👏🏼

Very clean condo
We loved staying here. I'm a self proclaimed germaphobe, and usually am disappointed in the level of cleanliness when I travel. However, this condo was extremely clean and made me feel very comfortable staying here. The kitchen was very nice, and the bunk room was perfect for our three girls. The location was great! It was really fun watching turtles and fish in the canal as well. It was such a wonderful place to stay and would recommend it to anyone. We look forward to returning!
