Great Condo

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.

Fall Break

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.

Oceanfront week!

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!

Fantastic experience

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!!!
