Good location, very clean.
We chose this condo for its proximity to beach and was pleasantly surprised w how nice it was. Check in was very easy and we were able to check in early. Fully furnished kitchen made making meals convenient. Would definitely stay here again.
We were so impressed with this condo! Super close to the water and a very clean unit! Parking was a breeze and we loved the cool, refreshing pool at the end of the day. We are used to having a washer/dryer in the condos we rent so we weren’t sure about not having that but this unit had 2 of each located just outside our front door. We never had an issue with their availability. The water in the shower was always hot and the air conditioning was cold. We loved having the free beach service each day… it saved us $250! Over and over, my husband and I both agreed that we would definitely come back to this condo again. We loved the location… close enough to Destin for good food and entertainment, but far enough away to avoid the crowded beaches. The beach right in front of our condo was perfect. Family friendly and not crowded at all, considering it was peak season. To the right and left of us, we could see the beach was much more crowded in front of the larger complexes. Literally, the only thing we didn’t have that we wished we had, was a keurig. We bought ground coffee and filters and it was just fine. Found some super places to eat nearby… Asiago Skillet was amazing and Stewby’s Seafood Shanty was delicious! Absolutely a perfect vacation for us!

We stayed 7 nights for our 10th anniversary. Very quiet and secluded location, yet close and conveniently located to everything you need. Beach service is a huge plus. Just walk down and enjoy the beautiful white sand beach and clear blue water. Unit has everything you need. Bed could be updated but we made do. Very clean and nicely decorated. Parking was right outside the door and beach right out back. We booked another week next year before we ever checked out. It's our new go to beach place.

Island Surf #5 was simply perfect for our 4 night beach getaway. Beach is possibly 50 yards out back. Could not be more convenient. Little balcony facing the beach. The condo was very clean and beautiful. Lots of adorable beach-themed decor . . . modern, not dated looking at all like some other rentals. Some suggestions - bed, although comfortable, seemed like it had an older mattress with squeaky springs. Couch is a bit worn and uncomfortable. Balcony chairs need replaced, or at least cushioned. A retractable clothesline to drip dry swimsuits in shower would be a nice addition. Kitchen, although well appointed, was lacking coffee filters. . . but none of these are dealbreakers. We LOVED it.

The condo is just like it is described. Great location, right on the beach with gorgeous Gulf views off of the balcony. Condo was pretty clean. The walls could be dusted (not a deal breaker at all) and maybe the couch updated or cleaned. But again those are not deal breakers in my book. The washer and dryer is right outside the condo door which is so convenient ....and it’s free!I loved how the condo complex itself was small. Not the super tall high rises with hundreds of condos. We went at the end of March. It has a pool but that was not heated. The owner or manager was super nice and answered any questions I had right away!!!It was a great place, great location and we would definitely stay here again.

Enjoyed the condo and watching the ocean while relaxing on the outdoor patio. Rooms inside were clean. Kitchen had convenient items. Bed was comfy and showers very good. Nice there was a faucet near the pool area to wipe off sand after walking or being on the beach

This was our 5th year staying at island surf. The condos are always very clean and the customer service is always amazing, with the Legacy staff.I have stayed in many of the other condos, as well as my family members. We usually rent 2 to 4 condos at a time. The only draw back with this condo is it desperately needs a mattress and bed frame upgrade.
Loved every single thing about this condo, except for the uncomfortable bed. Very clean and very convenient to the beach. The bed was the most uncomfortable bed I have ever slept on in my life. If not for the bed, we would definitely be back.
Relaxing stay. Grewt for couples. Loved the view! Excellent guest service from the company managing the condo. They asked if we needed anything and we let them know something as simple as the toaster was broken and they had a new one delivered with in a few hours. Will stay here again!

This was the perfect spot to slow down, sit back, and enjoy the time on the beach. The condo was super clean and is located just a short couple minute walk from the beach.
This is the perfect place! Super clean! Immediate response from the management. And literally steps from the beach. We will be back, no doubt!

We picked this place for the closeness to the beach but the rental was woredown which is understandable but the living room furniture was disgusting enough that we didn’t touch it.
Nice view. Clean. A few bugs crawling on wall in living room. Need pest control.

Compared to other condos in the area, this one was smaller, maybe 11 units. This allowed us to make friends with other vacationers. The complex had that old school beach vibe. It made the vacation so much more enjoyable, no hustle and bustle. No elevators, etc.. just a condo, a great view and access to the beach and a chance to meet other people.The condo was well equipped. It seemed like the owners were trying to furnish it for THEIR use, not for weekly renters. They did a great job of making sure we had everything we needed to have a nice vacation.No doubt we will be back....
