Hear from our happy guests!
⭐️ Where do I begin? First off, the condo was absolutely stunning. The location was the best, as everything was within walking distance. The actual unit was immaculate. It was very clean, spacious, and full of amenities. The check-in process was seamless, as well as the check out process. Being able to literally walk outside to the beach was my favorite part aside from the beautiful views from the balcony.⭐️
⭐️Great location, beach, and amenities. Condo was clean and comfortable-looked just like the pictures. Tiki bar and cafe were great, and staff were friendly and helpful. Nicely kept grounds and pools. We had an amazing trip! ⭐️
⭐️ The location was unbeatable—just a short walk to the beach, making it easy to enjoy the white sand and clear water every day. The host was friendly and responsive, ensuring we had a smooth check-in and a great experience overall. Whether you’re looking to relax or explore, this is the perfect spot. PS the tiki bar drinks were some of the best I’ve ever had!⭐️

Chasing Sunshine is located smack dab in the heart of Destin offering easy access to all of the best dining, shopping, and entertainment the Emerald Coast is known for! There are so many activities to enjoy, including:
