An absolute gem! The high-rise is on the beach with no hotels next to it. So this unit overlooks the beach and private homes only. Makes it feel like you have the whole beach to yourself! No crowds to the east of you on the beach, which is wonderful for busy beach days. The unit is adorable and spacious. Owner was extremely responsive when I reached out. Parking garage in the same building as the unit, which was very convenient. Would definitely book again!

Great for the price
Check-in was a little delayed because the people at the gate did not have record of our booking. We did book just a few nights prior to arrival…Like others have stated, place could’ve been cleaner, dirty pots/pans in cabinet, and furniture is really worn down. Communication was great.

Communication with the owner was fantastic! We received all needed information in a timely manner, plus very quick responses to our messages. Additionally the AC had a part break on it while we were there and she has someone out immediately to look at it and fix it. Absolutely fantastic customer service! In general, we love the Tops’l resort and all it has to offer!

Great Condo
Everything was as listed and beyond!! The view from the balcony was great, nice sunrise!! We were taken back by how beautiful the ocean was and the squeaky white sand. The beach was our first stop everyday and then we eventually gravitated to the pool. The food was great at the pool and one less meal to prepare or go out for. We highly recommend. Our 8, 9 and 11 year old grandchildren didn't want to leave.

Simply Stunning
After a mishap with our family condo, we were able to book this Beach Manor condo VERY last minute. The owners were exceptionally polite and easy to work with. The condo itself is beautifully decorated and well equipped for a family with young children... ocean view is unmatched. Tops'l has great amenities including wonderful (heated) pools, poolside bar and restaurant, and activities for the kids. The beach... WOW! Pristine! The location is in close proximity to great dining and shopping at Baytowne Wharf and Premium Outlets. If we are ever in need of a different place to stay, we will certainly be back!

Enjoyable stay
We definitely enjoyed our week! I’m going to nit pick, because that’s my nature, and we’ve stayed at another, more expensive unit at Tops’l beach manor. The condo was clean and relatively comfortable. I wouldn’t recommend counting on the sleeper sofa to comfortably sleep anyone but the lightest kids. The beds were comfortable with the mattress toppers helping out in this regard. The kitchen was well stocked. The appliances were all nice, including the washer/drier. For anyone looking to cook, the large knives were not very sharp. The outside balcony view was not as great as what those at the front of the building enjoy, and the balcony is a bit small. The biggest benefit of staying at Tops’l is the fact that you are next to a nature preserve, and only have major development on on side, so the beach is less crowded to one side. My kids enjoyed seeing the deer, and having multiple pools to choose from.

Miramar Beach
Property was just OK. Dated, furniture is worn, whole condo needs updating. BUT most of all needs much better housekeeping. Walking around in socks or bottom of shoes resulted in black/dirty bottom of socks and shoes. Went to cook and the skillet in the cabinet was dirty with what appeared to be cooked eggs. The washer was full of laundry soap in the middle, not cleaned. And the part of the update needed, the kitchen faucet was so stiff we couldn't get hot water. When we contacted the owner, she was very responsive to the hot water issue, turned out the handle was so stiff we didn't pull it hard enough and turn it to hot water could run. She also apologized for the dirty washer and dirty skillet. We will not stay there again. We have been staying on this property for a number of years and never rented a property this run down and in desperate need of better housekeeping. There was not even a broom onsite so we could sweep.

Good. Could be better
I rarely write reviews on anything but want to this time.
First the owner is top notch in my opinion. Good communication, friendly and willing to do whatever it takes to satisfy customer. The location of the unit is good and easily accessible to the beach. Unit was clean had everything that a person really would want or need except for one thing that is absolutely crucial for a good vacation; comfortable beds! The bed is the master bedroom was so uncomfortable that neither my wife or I got a good night’s sleep the whole time. So lumpy. And the plastic cover underneath made noise every time a person would move. Which was a lot because we were searching for a comfortable spot. The beds in the other bedroom are very short and uncomfortable. They obviously are not meant for anyone over 5 feet tall. We had our 26 and 15 year old sons with us and they really complained about the beds. These are beds for children I do believe. So that is my only complaint but an important one. With the money being spent renting the unit I feel the beds need to be upgraded. Other than that, really great time had by my family.

Thank you so much for your response! It helps us so much in providing a better getaway! The mattresses are only 3 years old but I have arranged for a mattress pad and cloth protective cover to be placed for better comfort! We strive to provide the best vacation and appreciate reviews from past renters in helping us achieve that goal! Thank you so much for staying with us and hope you will be back soon! Christie

A Great Vacation Destination and Location
This is our second time renting out this particular condo. The first time, in July 2013, the weather did not cooperate and we were rained-out four days out of the seven. I told my family that this was a very, very rare occurrence. Forward to June 2015, as expected, we were back in business with beautiful Destin weather and sunshine. Without question, it was (and always is) a wonderful, relaxing, and fun vacation!
I have been coming to Destin since 1985 when I was in High School. My parents heard about Destin through some friends and decided to make it our vacation spot in the Summer of 1985. We made it our family vacation for 10 years in a row (not at this location). Now, my family is vacationing here ... although not every year ... yet. Our children (16, 14, 12) love it. They love everything about the location, the beach, and the ocean (especially when the waves are a little bigger!!). As parents, we love the convenience of the location and amenities.
This time around, we really enjoyed the kitchen remodel and bathroom updates as well as the new furniture. Very well done and certainly appreciated. The condo itself is very reasonably priced given it's location and well appointed.
With that said, here are some things that we have noted that could use some improvement:
1. The tile floors of the condo were quite dirty. Not sure how often they are cleaned, but a good mopping or steam clean would go a long, long way;
2. There is an odd sour / musty smell that comes out of the vent behind the kitchen counter when the air conditioner is turned on. We were thinking maybe the filter needed to be changed but were not sure if the air conditioner is in the condo itself or if it's provided by the building;
3. The bath tub drain in the master bedroom is very, very slow draining. It needs to be looked at by a plumber. This happened to us in 2013;
4. The wireless connection is very weak. A possible upgrade in hardware and speed could possibly help this. I don't think people would mind paying a little extra in their rental fee for this. Of course, this is not why you go on vacation, but is nice to have when everyone is back in the condo for the evening;
5. An upgrade with the cable box so that High Definition channels can be viewed would be greatly appreciated. Again, I don't think vacationers would mind paying a little extra for this in their rental fees. A large screen TV will only make non-HD channels look worse.

Thank you so much for your feedback! The floors have been steam cleaned and look great! A new router was purchased and we are working with the Beach Manor Owners' Association to improve the Wifi signal. The unit is deep cleaned several times per year and cleaned after every guest! The entire HVAC system was replaced in July 2015! We have also had a plumber address all plumbing issues in the condo! Thank you so much!
