Best location! We had the best stay. Perfect location close to the boardwalk, Destin harbor, and crab island. Walking distance to the beach. Pool right outside your door. Condo was big enough for three families to have their own space - 8 kids and 8 adults slept comfortably! Will def be back!

The condo is beautiful, spacious and welcoming. All bedrooms have a smart TV, the only issue was the one closest to the stairs, the cable box points to the ground, so my mother in law had difficulty getting the remote to work. The lower level has 2 pull out beds and is almost a little apartment, was great for my teenage daughter to have her own space. The lower level walks out to the deep end of the pool. The walk to the beach took about 15 minutes because you'll end up sightseeing along the way. The welcome package has everything to keep you needing to get supplies for a short stay. Although we didn't use them, there are board games available for families that enjoy them. Two chairs and an umbrella are included in the package, if you need more you can rent hourly, half day or full day at the private beach. The property is very close to stores and restaurants, for breakfast the pancskery is very close but can be busy, join the waiting list in advance.Communication was constant, but not overwhelming, informing of opportunities to extend and checking in on the stay.

Thank you so much for this wonderful review! We're thrilled you enjoyed the condo and appreciated the spacious layout and amenities. We'll definitely make a note about the cable box angle in the lower bedroom and will have our team adjust it for future guests. We're so glad the lower level worked perfectly as a retreat space for your daughter, and that you had a fantastic beach experience nearby! Your feedback about local favorites like the Pancakery is incredibly helpful for other guests. It was our pleasure to stay in touch throughout your stay. We'd love to welcome you back anytime—thank you for choosing us!

Relay by the pool.

We enjoyed our stay, pool was just outside the door. The place was clean and had everything you need to start the day.The only issue for me was that master bedroom is in front of the principal road, and you can hear the noise, and the trash pick up was like in the middle of the night, I’m so sensitive to noise and it was difficult to for to go back to sleep, my husband was ok with the noise .And at first we couldn’t figure it out to watch tv.Other than that is a five star. We would stay again.
