Our family loved our stay in this beautiful, quaint, quiet little community condo, nestled just a short walk across the street from the ocean and private beach. We were walking distance from two amazing restaurants, and a short drive to shops and enertainment. The community pool was heated which was a nice surprise, and everyone we met was so nice. We loved the area and our cozy stay!
Wish it had been longer! Our stay was exactly what we wanted. The unit was in a quiet location with everything we needed. Kitchen is well stocked with cooking equipment if you want to dine in. Bathrooms had plenty of towels. Everything was clean and the communication with the mgmt company was very smooth. We appreciated the beach items very much! We loved our stay and look forward to a return visit!
I wanted to go to Destin, Fl for the gorgeous beaches. I had no idea where to go or where to stay in Destin. Turns out this was a great location! Just a short walk to the beach from the condo and easy beach access. Lots of restaurants, shops and grocery stores with in a short drive from the condo. I also appreciated that the area wasn’t congested or overwhelming! Would definitely stay here again!

Relief from the stress of Hurricane Helene
We are from Augusta GA. We had been without power and water for 7 days from Hurricane Helene. We needed to find a relaxing place to go to until our power was back up. The place was very nice and spacious. It just felt good to be in a place that had power and water so we could relax. Everything in the place was very nice. We loved the location. The only complaint is that the floors were dirty.
Loved our stay! Great location with a short walk to the beach. Had all of the "necessary" amenities. We didn’t realize that there would be a beach wagon & chairs provided by the owner, and forgot to take advantage of the private chairs & umbrella on the beach. Having a washer and dryer in the chateau was very useful as well.
I would suggest having a vacuum in the chateau. Sand tends to migrate in and the broom and mop was a process to have to drag out multiple times. Actually, that was something we had to do as soon as we got there from the stay of the previous guests. Other than that, everything was fantastic and as advertised. Will definitely consider staying here again.
We had a fantastic stay at condo 8C! The unit was beautifully organized and tastefully decorated, with lots of thoughtful upgrades that made it feel extra special. We especially loved the beamed ceilings—they added such charm to the space. The kitchen was well-stocked with all the essentials, and we appreciated the added touches like laundry detergent, fabric softener, and even coffee for our first morning.The owners really thought of everything—there was a wagon, beach chairs, a frisbee, and we even left our pool floats for the next guests to enjoy. We made great use of the pool and pickleball courts, and the track lighting on the balcony created such a fun vibe in the evenings. The grounds are beautifully maintained, and the property staff were friendly and accommodating.The only thing we’d suggest is updating the mattress and bedding in the master bedroom. The bed squeaked quite a bit, and the blankets have seen better days.Dining tip: We loved Kenny D’s for great food and atmosphere. Overall, we had a blast and would absolutely return to condo 8C!
Property was what was expected and very close to the beach. Something that wasn’t mentioned in the listing was that the apartment included a rolling cart, lounge chairs and an ice chest for the beach - this was a pleasant surprise as I was on my way to Walmart to purchase the items when I came across them. House was clean and tidy but the floors were dirty - they didn’t look dirty but our socks were black after walking on it the first day - before going to the beach. We swept it after checking in and used our own personal roomba before checking out, but the floor does need a good scrubbing. I was impressed with the pool, they are not normally well maintained but this pool was very clean and clear and was not overly chlorinated- great temperature and the depth was great! Shallow enough for kids to play in and deep enough to swim. 4-8ft. Nice, quiet neighborhood with restaurants within walking distance, offering karaoke in the evenings. No need to rent a golf cart as the beach and restaurant are close and everything else will require a car. We would stay again.
Great location, short walk to the beach! Loved the community. A few things to be prepared for though. The unit is upstairs and the beach access also has stairs with no ramp. Was difficult to get a beach wagon up and down. The pool on property was super clean and heated. Very nice. The unit itself is nice. I do have a couple complaints. First, the master needs curtains. It gets super bright so you’re up by 7 am because the sun is in your face. Second, the bed is huge which is great but it’s very loud when you move. And lastly, it was mentioned in other reviews that the floors are very dirty and boy were they. Your feet will be black. We had to wash our feet before going to bed each night. Wish I had brought slippers. I will also say the sink in the kitchen broke while we were there and maintenance came and fixed within an hour. Great service! Also there were lots of laundry items which was a nice plus. We would definitely stay again but take black out shades and shoes to wear inside.
The property was very nice and very clean. The beds were excellent. We really enjoyed our stay. Plenty of towels to use and very close to the ocean. Would definitely stay again!
Amazing location walking distance from the beach. Beautiful place. Great size for a family of 5. Everything was in great working order. We will be visiting again. Great pool. Great tennis courts. PERFECT VACATION SPOT!!
The house and location was great. Could not fault Barry and Helen for all the information they gave. The house was excellent and it was as discribe. Thank you we would go again.
The property was clean and comfortable. We enjoyed the location, the pool and pickleball courts were nicely maintained. Our only suggestion would be on a few amenities. A cordless vacuum like a Shark or Dyson would be most appreciated for picking up sand. The broom was ok but the dustpan was old and made picking up the sand difficult. Also, some coffee filters for the machine and a couple of extra laundry pods would be good since the washer is small and they request the towels be washed. It takes at least 2-3 loads to wash the towes used. But these are small suggestions. The property and location were great with fantastic beach access. Would stay again.

Overall wonderful stay. Short walk to beach access. The property manager did misinform me that we had two complimentary chairs and umbrella from the beach service, however we didn't.
The condo was homey for sure but it did need a really good dusting. It was nice of them to have chairs and a nice canopy for use. The walk wasn’t too bad to the beach. Please bring everything or be prepared to buy everything as the condo only provides a thing of paper towels and a couple rolls of toilet paper. Neighbors are really nice and beaches are beautiful.
