Beautiful view of the water! The condo is well stocked with kitchen items and the condo was immaculately clean! The walking path to the beach is not very far so its super easy to go back and forth when you keep forgetting things, haha. We were very happy with our stay.

The condo is very outdated and needs to be addressed. The king bed needs a new mattress. Putting bar height chairs on the balcony would give a better view due to the bars on the railing. Moved to 304 and the difference was night and day.

Mary, thanks so much for your feedback and for staying with us! I’m really glad we were able to get you moved and that you enjoyed 304 so much. We’re already looking at updates for the original condo, including the mattress and balcony seating, so your comments are super helpful. We’d love to host you again next time you’re in town!

Destin on the Gulf

Pro - Access to the beach and views were outstanding. Easy parking, quit part of the community, friendly families, and the beach team. It is an older unit that shows the love that comes with that but it is not an issue. - I would recommend that you bring quarters if you want to use the laundry but other than that it was what was promised.

Thank you, Raymond. I'm glad you enjoyed the outstanding beach access and views, as well as the quiet community atmosphere. It's great to hear that the charm of the older unit worked well for you. Thank you for the tip about the laundry – we appreciate your feedback! We hope to welcome you back in the future!

Very nice view of the ocean. The bathroom shower curtain is dirty, and the kitchen cabinets are sticky. The sink was stopped up and smelled bad. Very poor lighting in the entire condo. We had so much trouble with the code at the gate going out to the beach. Then the elevator stopped working, could not get in touch with anyone. Had to use the stairs and very poor lighting there also.

Response from VrboOwner on 30 Sept, 2025
Thank you for your feedback. We’re so glad you enjoyed the ocean view, but we’re very sorry to hear about the issues you experienced during your stay. Cleanliness and comfort are very important to us, and we’ll be addressing the shower curtain, cabinets, and sink right away. I have sent a message to the HOA about the lighting and the gate code to make sure everything works smoothly for future guests. They assure me they are fixing the code box. It sounds like someone ran into the little box with their car. We apologize for the elevator inconvenience as well—we know that must have been frustrating. Your comments help us improve, and we truly appreciate you taking the time to share them.

Location and proximity to the beach was excellent.

I can only complain about three situations we experienced in this property. 1- There was a terrible smell we noticed once we got into the property. This smell didn’t go away. 2- The toilet in the master room was really bad, it won’t flush normally. It was so bad that we had to use the second bathroom all the time we were there. 3- I called the emergency number for maintenance more than 3 times. The line was always busy.
