The ocean view and the beautiful pool sold me on this rental. Beach service was great and there are a couple extra chairs and beach toys in the rental. The kitchen is well equipped. There is not an ice maker, or ice trays or filtered water. There is a keurig.

Christmas Getaway

My husband and I took a trip to Destin for a quiet Christmas getaway with our fur babies. The property was clean and beautifully decorated. The balcony faces the beach and offers gorgeous views of the sunrise. Marge was a great host. She was kind and very responsive. The only issue we had wss that we were unable to live stream Netflix and other platforms to catch the NFL games. Otherwise, our stay was fantastic.

Paradise on the beach

This condo is absolutely stunning and views of the beautiful emerald coast is breathtaking! Very very clean, all new inside, beds are so comfortable that you really don’t want to get out of but you think gosh that cup of coffee sitting on the balcony watching the waves I need to get up! Very quiet and very secure building. The pool is huge with lots of chairs to stretch out. This will be my place from now on. Plus lots of great restaurants close by walk or drive. Host Marge is so so sweet and the few times I text her she responded back immediately. Thank you Marge!
