We enjoyed our stay! The gated entrance was so convenient! We received all our codes in a timely manner and felt very safe there. Everything was clean, organized and as advertised. The beach was wonderful! We really like that our beach chairs and umbrella were set up with our name on them for easy access all day long! This location is near lots of restaurants and entertainment. The pool was clean, well maintained and we enjoyed that as well! The carts for loading and unloading were an added bonus that we weren’t aware of. The elevator was also in good working order. We were very thankful we didn’t have to tote luggage up 3 flights of stairs! The beds/pillows were very comfortable, clean and crisp. The living room and kitchen were beautiful and we loved all the TV’s in each room for bedtime relaxation after fun days! I would recommend this place to everyone!

Mother daughters trip!

The very first thing I noticed when I walked in was how very very clean it was!! It smelled disinfected not just air freshener. This place was perfect it was the best view with a great balcony! This was perfect for myself and my 2 daughters. We all had our own bedroom for privacy. So much space. And the shower was incredible again so very clean. I would stay here everytime I will never look for another place in Destin to stay. The location was amazing! Close to everything! I just loved this vacation! The very best place!!

My family had a great time.

Our family at a great time at this unit. There were a few things that were inconvenient but not necessarily a deal breaker. The parking is for two vehicles only. We brought a 3rd as we had 3 couples, children, and luggage. And we had to park the third vehicle off site a few miles down the road for $20/day. There are a lot of condos like this but I just didn’t see it mentioned until the day before when I got the check in info. Make sure to bring extra trash bags as you’re only given 2. Which isn’t many for 8 people. And check out was at 9 which is very early. I just wish it were at the usual 11. Over all the condo was super clean and in a great location. The beach is nice and not over crowded because it is cut off from the public part of the beach. The view was amazing! Just like what you see in the pictures. We would stay again.

First time fun at Destin

The property is as described - nice condo, beautiful view of the beach, chill complex, pool and hot tub, nice neighborhood, and private beach access. Riley the beach dude was super helpful. For a property at this price level and this close to the beach, I would have expected more amenities provided. The bath and kitchen were very basic and partial for soaps, and there was nothing for the beach beyond the complimentary 2 beach chairs and 1 umbrella that Riley setup. Other beach properties I have been to have provided coolers, chairs, beach towels, toys, and even body boards. We purchased and left behind a small cooler and some beach toys. The listing could be improved to help set expectations on what to bring. Overall the property is nice and as described, it left me wanting a bit more though for a total experience at this price.

Great place!

Everything was pretty much great except the pillows! They were really bad in all bedrooms—huge and way too thick to sleep on. That would be the only thing I would change. Loved that it was gated and inside and outside was well maintained. Loved being in the 3rd floor in a small complex. We would definitely stay again!
