Everything was great! Only issue we had was having to search for the gate codes needed to get to and from the beach through multiple emails even though we never received one to open the first gate to the bridge, luckily another resident let us in (he was not happy about that ) but overall I would definitely recommend!

It was a roof over our head but lots of broken stuff in the house. The beds are horrible, one was broken, the washing machine sounded like it was an airplane taking off. The doors are hard to close. There are bugs everywhere ants, worms, caterpillars and roaches. On top of all this the address given wasn’t near the beach we had a long walk to get there. We made the best of the stay but wouldn’t book this place again. Needs some updating. Oh and also some cam knocking early one morning saying they would be doing roof work blocked us in our parking spots

Destin, husbands annual fishing trip

Lovely area. Nice condo. Rooms 2& 3 were very small. Traffic was a nightmare getting in and out. Ants were a major problem in the kitchen, upstairs bathroom and in the bedroom with twin beds. Reported the ant problem but never received an answer.

It was easy to locate the property, all the logistics were provided upon arrival. However the pictures are deceiving as oppose to what i walk into. The physical apearance is far below expectation. What i would like to point out is the wonderful short distance walk to the beach, ( the beech attendant was hard to locate, when we finally located them they were requiring a wrist band and it was just a hot mess. The host do not respond in a timely fashion. We still incorporated our fun. I like how every excursion we did were within close proximity to the property. Omg i cannot forget the property has soo much bugs and ant and roaches in the kitchen, by the entrance and on the floors. If you have young kids and don't want to hear screaming because ant scrolling everywhere then choose wisely. Besides the short distance to all of the attractions, It would not be my first pick.

It was ok

First off this condo is not beach front. 10-15 minute walk to beach. There were ants in upstairs bathroom. Centipedes all over downstairs floor. Master bedroom floor had something spilled coming from under bed so clearly not mopped. Air doesn’t cool good. The condo is nice and comfy stay other than what’s listed above

Vaca with ants

We’ve stayed at this location before but not this particular unit. It needs an upgrade! That’s not what bothered me though. We had ants in our condo basically the whole time. We had to throw out a full box of donuts and other items that were covered in ants. We also had ants in the bathrooms. I believe it took 2 days to get someone out there. No our knowledge no one ever came inside to spray, only outside. I was told I could buy some spray and do the inside.

This place was perfect for our little get away. We had 4 teenagers with us and they each had a bed. The pool and beach access were amazing. The outside seating area was perfect for lunch after the pool. We will definitely be back.

Family stay

The place was clean, some items not available as stated, location was further from beach then expected, it lacked your general spices, coffee, etc., and for short stays, that's a lot to purchase, forces you to eat out more. It was a good location to dining and other shopping.

We were 4 ladies that come to Destin for a women’s conference. We found this locations fun loved it online. When we got there everything was exactly as it showed in pictures and what it said. We loved the location and the proximity to the beach. It was very clean and very easy to get ahold of anyone for questions. We will def be rebooking this property again!
