Very nice condo

Property was very nice. Pools and hot tub were nice at the Terrance and less crowded than main condo. The walk to the beach was not too far and the walkway was nice. The resort itself is very strict with wristbands and carpasses.Room is beautiful and very clean. Had everything you would need.

Girls Trip 2024

I've used VRBO for many years and the condo along with the accommodations were outstanding!! The property owner was so easy to work with and made sure to reach out to make sure we arrived and everything was to our liking. Plenty of kitchen supplies if you choose to make meals. Had a beach closet full of everything we needed (ie. wagon, towels, cooler, chairs, umbrella, toys, etc). An added benefit......cable tv that had ALL the stations (something that has become almost null and void by property owners). We LOVED this place and plan to return next year!!!

Well worth it

I'm a bit hard to impress but I must say, the location alone was well worth the money. Across the street from an amazing waterpark. A few minute drive to go-karts and amazing restaurants. The short 5 minute walk to the beautiful beach. The condo had everything you could need and more. I'd definitely book here again. The communication with the owner was quick and easy. Available any time I had a question, no matter the time.

Lovely getaway

The condo is beautiful with a picturesque view of the pool, the emerald green gulf and close walk to the beach. We are seniors and had 3 of our grandsons with us. The owner is easy to talk with and helpful in offering ideas of great places to eat and fun things to do while here. We will be back!

Summer vacation

We absolutely fell in love with the condo. The view was amazing and condo had all appliances and necessities we needed. The location was a short walk to the beach. Traveling from Texas a added bonus was that everything we needed for the beach was provided. Giovanna was the best host we have ever had. She gave us every possible piece of information we needed without even asking all the way down to best spots to eat. On our next visit to Destin we will definitely be booking our stay at this location again.

No complaints!

We absolutely loved our stay in this beautiful unit. Everything was so easy from check in to check out. The covered parking spot was nice, keeping the car cooler on 90+ degree days and also so close to the elevator. The walk to the beach was a little longer than expected but the wagon made it much easier hauling our things to the beach. We didnt have to worry about packing beach toys in our luggage for our toddler, everything we could have ever needed and wanted was in the beach closet( sand toys, floats, beach ball, chairs, umbrellas, ect.) We also added 2 fishing poles to the beach closet after our stay. My husband and Dad did well catching fish from the shoreline in front of the resort at night time. The host, Giovanna was always so quick in responding. We had a late flight upon arriving and she made sure we were able to get into the unit with ease before going to bed. We enjoyed our stay and would love to revisit!

Amazing Experience

What a great vacation. Property was amazing and had all the amenities we were wanting. Plenty of pools, fitness centers, courts, etc. Beach was beautiful and we are thankful the rain held off. The condo was exactly as described. What a fantastic view! Bonus, master bedroom view is incredible also! So convenient to have beach towels, wagon, cooler and beach toys for the kids. Giavanna was available anytime we had a question or needed something for the stay. First class service all the way. We will be back and this condo is highly recommended!

Beach stay in Destin

We enjoyed staying at the property. Thought it was going to be a little closer to the beach, but the walk wasn’t bad at all. We were very fortunate and had fantastic weather while we were there. Location was very convenient to restaurants and anything else we needed.

Great Destin Location. Great Owner

This Condo was perfect for our needs. I wanted something that did not have bunk beds in the second bedroom. I wish that was an option so that I did not have to look through so many properties that I was not interested in. The condo was EXCEPTIONALLY CLEAN!! What a plus now since it seems like every time we stay at a hotel now there is always mold in the bathroom. Not here. Well equipped kitchen; maybe could use some sharper knives for cooking, but then someone would probably take them. We ate our breakfasts sitting out on the balcony enjoying the breeze. The best pool (heated) is at this building; plus, it is less crowded than the pools that are at the buildings located on the beach. Usually there were no more than 6 people in our buildings pool, while just one of the other pools had well over 75 or more. Location is great. Close to WinDixie & Publix grocery stores, wonderful food,shopping.Don't think twice Rent It.

Great location

The condo was awesome. Very clean, comfortable and stocked with everything we needed to make our meals. The location to the beach and other three pools was great but we preferred the pool and hot tub by our condo- less people. There are a lot of stores and restaurants that are walking distance from condo. Parking spot was great too. Never had to worry about having a spot. We would totally stay here again. The owner was great to work with.

Wonderful condo

My husband and I stayed at this wonderful condo and loved our stay. The condo was clean, super quiet, peaceful, very comfortable, roomy and had a great view. We were grateful to be away from all construction going on at several other condos on the beach. We used the amenities in the building: heated outdoor pool, hot tub and fitness center with bathrooms and all of it was wonderful. I even swam laps in the outdoor pool in Feb and the water was perfect. We were given a covered parking space close to the ground level elevators. The 1st floor had plenty of nice carts to help us get our belongings to and from the condo upon check in and check out. The walk to the beach was easy, we were provided with beach chairs, towels and a wagon too. Our host was immediately responsive to all correspondence. She checked on us and provided great places to eat in the area, which exceeded our expectations. I recommend this place without hesitation. ❤️

About the host

Hosted by Giovanna Raccosta

Host profile image
I was born and raised in Italy, I'm a professional portrait artist, a mom of 3. Blessed with a wonderful family. Years ago I came to Destin for a visit, felt in love with the beach and with the man I married. Later we moved to Las vegas for his work and that's where we currently reside. A day hasn't passed that we don't dream of being in Destin instead. We fly back as often as we can. Destin is our happy place, a place to paint, write, enjoy the spectacular nature, relax and get inspired. I could spend days on the balcony overlooking the amazing colors of the coast. If sunbathing on the white beaches, or the early morning walks on the shoreline, swimming the clear waters, eating at our favorite restaurants, boating, fishing, crabbing, we always find ways to make lifetime memories. As a Sicilian native, I'm passionate about life. I love people and my guests and I treat them and treat everyone with respect and dignity like they are like they are my own . I truly enjoy and take seriously the art of hospitality. Hope to make your experience a very pleasant one.
