The view was amazing! Loved the size of the condo. It was larger than others we have stayed at, at a similar price. Modern, comfortable and very clean. Large pantry for our groceries, and a laundry room with nice washer & dryer.The bedroom upstairs with its own bathroom for the girls was a perfect fit. The beach chairs and umbrella set up for us every day was great! We'll be back!
This was a very nice condo, great views of the beach and very relaxing. The condo was stocked well with what was needed, was clean and well maintained. The private beach and beach service made for a great experience and plenty of space. There is a lot to do and plenty of places to eat very close by. We for sure want to go back.
We love this condo, this is our 5th year here. It’s the perfect location for a Destin visit. This unit had everything we needed, check in was a breeze, and we would definitely return!
Enjoyed a week with friends. Loved the fact that it was a small condo and that it is away from the more crowded Destin area. Will definitely keep this one on the list for future trips.
The condo was nice. Plenty of room for my family, including 5 teens. Easy access to the beach and daily beach setup. Only downside is the small pool, located in the parking lot side of the building - but the ocean was perfect so we never used it!
We loved our stay. Loved the private beach! Could see the entire ocean from the master bedroom. Dreamy! Greatest little coffee shop across the street! Would stay again.
My family and I really enjoyed our stay at this property. Beautiful balcony view right on the beach with easy access. Very close to shopping and dining. Within a quaint neighborhood with friendly people. We had no issue with communication. Check-in and check out was a breeze. We'll be back soon!
We really enjoyed the condo and property it was perfect. The only concern in ref to the condo was the televisions were very difficult to work and the Wi-Fi was slow. In ref to the property the pool was cold.
Tons of space in this beautiful oceanfront property. Kids loved being so close to the beach. The beach service chairs were super convenient and kept us from lugging chairs back and forth.
We will definitely stay here again!
The condo was immaculate and just as described. The bedrooms were even larger than expected; no crawling over suitcases due to limited space. The bathrooms were more upscale than previous condos in which we have stayed and owned! The private beach was quiet and uncrowded, and the beach service was an added bonus. The views of the ocean from the balcony were breathtaking. We were thoroughly impressed with the communication with the management company throughout the booking, arrival, and checkout process. We have found THE CONDO we will be booking for all of our future Destin vacations!!!
