This was our first trip to Destin, so I was not familiar with the area. Let me tell you, location matters and the location of this condo was PERFECT! We were just steps from the beach. The building is only 3 stories high, so no waiting on the elevator like the big resorts. The smaller building really helped make the experience better. We went the first week in August, which is still peak season and the condo was not full. There was plenty of parking. Getting the parking pass from the front desk was easy. Check-in was seamless-no contact and all the code info was sent a week or so in advance. The beach at the condo was amazing! I believe the listing for this condo needs to be updated because in the listing, I do believe it states the beach service (one umbrella and two chairs) is included with the rental. It is not. The front desk said it was 40/day. We brought our own umbrella/chairs so no biggie for us. If you have smaller children/lots of stuff to carry, that might make a difference in what you pack. When we arrived, the front door was ajar-it does not always latch when you shut it. This condo is 1 bedroom and 2 FULL BATHS. The listing needs updated. There were plenty of towels, blankets, pillows. You will need extra laundry detergent, trash bags and dishwasher tabs-there were starter packs included. Appliances are clean and new. And the AC works! That was so nice about this condo. Overall, I give this host/condo a 10/10. Only suggestion is to update the listing.
