You rent a place, you rent a good place, then you rent a GREAT place, which is this one!
The condo was clean when we got there. Not the gritty sandy beach clean that we have had in the past. A true clean. Floor, counters, showers, bath, bedrooms, all of it!
It has been updated and has been done nicely. I can't think of a single disappointment. The mattresses were comfortable. I wasn't sleeping in an indentation for a week, nothing too firm or too soft, Perfect.
The private beach is across the street and is gated. A 2 minute walk. No riff raff, no tent/canopy people to block your view. The beach attendants are great too. My only fuss with the beach was waiting in a line in the morning to get your chairs/umbrellas for the day. The beach attendants check you in, take you to some chairs and umbrellas and those are yours for the day.
There were extras: 2 regular chairs to bring out to the beach, there were kids beach toys in the closet, and some grilling accessories.
When we come back to Destin in a couple years, I'll definitely be booking here again.
