Conveniently located and clean, mostly, the master bath shower curtain needs changing so we didn’t use it. Beach bar service was great! Good restaurants nearby!

Great location and pools. Beach water was clear and glassy. Elevators were a bit congested and one was out of order causing delays, but the cafe was on point as well.

Condo was exactly what was advertised.. great stay!
The chair rental company makes it so you cannot sit in your personal chairs anywhere but behind the rentals, so because we didn’t pay extra to rent their chairs and brought our own our view consisted of over a hundred rental chairs and umbrellas.

Thank you for the 5‑star review—we’re so glad you enjoyed the condo! We’re sorry the beach chair rental setup affected your view while on the beach. Since an independent vendor manages the chairs and umbrellas, we don’t control their placement, but we’ll keep sharing feedback like yours with the HOA. We appreciate you staying with us and hope to host you again soon!
Peggy and David were wonderful to work with. We loved the view and the great location. Bunk beds were a little small for teenage boys, but they still worked. Quiet building which is always nice when on vacation.
This place was just as described! It was very nice, comfortable, charming decor and extremely clean. Kitchen had everything we needed. The balcony was perfect for slow mornings w/ coffee and pretty views. It was located on the second floor, so we were able take the stairs & not have to wait for the elevator each time we went somewhere. The beach is close and beautiful. We would definitely stay here again when we return to Destin!
Enjoyed a two week stay at this beautiful condo overlooking a new zero entry heated pool and the beach!

Above pool and near tiki hut so it was always very loud. Tiki hut had loud blaring music all day. Washer\dryer unit worked very poorly and took the entire night to dry one load of towels. White floor rug was VERY dirty. Furniture didn’t look old but was generously used. We will never come here again.

Thank you for your feedback. We're sorry to hear that your stay didn’t meet your expectations. We’d like to clarify a few points for future guests:
The Tiki hut and pool are shared amenities designed to enhance the vacation experience, and while it can be lively during the day, many guests enjoy its festive atmosphere. The unit has hurricane ready doors so if left closed properly, noise is typically at a minimum. The pool and Gulf views from the unit are among its most-loved features, offering a relaxing and scenic backdrop.
Regarding the washer/dryer, it is a modern combo unit that typically performs well—many guests find it convenient for use during their stay. There is also a commercial washer/dryer available just two door down from the condo if guests prefer to use that.
We’re also committed to maintaining high standards of cleanliness and furnishings, and we’ll continue to monitor and refresh items as needed.
We appreciate your comments and wish you all the best in your future travels.
We had a terrific stay. Only complaint was other tenants that were loud in the hallways outside but it is because there were a bunch of teenagers there for a baseball tournament. The unit was fantastic.

Thank you so much for the great review! We're thrilled to hear that you had a terrific stay and enjoyed the unit. We apologize for the noise from other guests during the baseball tournament and appreciate your understanding. We hope you still stay with on your next visit to Destin.
We had a great stay at this property. It was clean and updated and was in a great location. Right on the beach and had a very nice pool and hot tub also! Communication with the owner was awesome!
The property was as advertised. The condo was clean and comfortable. We really liked that it was on the second floor, so access to the beach was just down one set of stairs, which kept us from having to use the elevator everytime we took our things to the beach. Highly recommend this rental.
Our condo was very nice, and recommend it to anyone. The view was beautiful and only being on the Second floor made it nice to see the kids in one of the pools on the property, while we were on the balcony in our room.
This condo was perfect. Fully updated, very clean, location on 2nd floor & close to stairs was very convenient. Great location right in the middle of everything. We will definitely be back.
The view was beautiful. Pictures depicted property exact. We did not contact property manager as there was no need. Everything was in working order. We enjoyed our stay.
