Disliked: Cleanliness
Check in and out was great. We utilized and enjoyed the pool and the gate being right in front of our deck! However, there was dirt on the floor upon arrival and just overall dirty. The washer was moldy and smelled. Furniture could be updated. However, would probably stay again with my family of 5.

We enjoyed our stay and cant wait to come back. Our condo was perfect and we loved the pool access and easy beach access from our condos back doorstep. The kiddos being able to walk out the door straight to the pool was awesome.

Loved being poolside. I also thought it was an extra bonus that the condo provided beach chairs, beach blanket and other things. We forgot our chairs and blanket at home. Very nice place. Would stay again.

Thanks for the great review and feedback. We thank you for staying and look forward to hosting you again in the future.
We’ve been going to Destin for 4 years, and this is honestly the best condo we’ve stayed in! The area is perfect (walkability). The property was great! This condo in particular was perfect! Clean, patio gate to the pool, updated! The check in process and management were attentive, helpful and great to work with!
We would absolutely stay here again!

We are so glad you came back to Destin for another year, and we're even happier that you found a perfect place to stay in this condo! We definitely hope to see you for your next visit to Destin! We couldn't agree more that this condo is in a perfect location for walking everywhere and that all of the amenities were great! Thanks for letting us know that you felt taken care of--that's what we love to do!
Great places to stay didn’t want to leave! The only thing I wish I was told was that the beach allowed place for people to set up tents and umbrellas was only 40 feet of beach and was way to small for all the people down there. Anyways great place to stay will definitely be back!

It can get a little crowded during the busy season, Shay. We're glad, though, that you otherwise had a fantastic time! Not wanting to leave is a great sign, and we hope you plan to come back sooner than later!
Wonderful condo, wonderful location! Had another family with us staying in another condo in the same building, and they spent most of their time with us in ours. Right on the pool, minutes walk to the beach. Absolutely wonderful!
Great location. We didn't rent a car this time and was walking distance to the beach and several restaurants. We enjoyed our stay, and will stay at this property again. Property was very clean except the floor was grimy from day one. The washer needs the mold cleaned out of it.

We can't wait to see you again! Don't wait too late before your next stay!
My family has been going to Destin for 10 years now every summer. The place we usually stay at was not available for us this year. This place was in the same neighborhood and it did not disappoint us. Room was fantastic will book again. Only thing is wish back door had keypad to lock and unlocked from outside.
