Holiday relaxation Gem

This was an Amazing rental experience! The condo was everything that was advertised and more. It was immaculate and very stylishly furnished. The communication before and during our stay was prompt and informative. They took great care and detail with providing instructions and booklets on everything a guest would need to know about the condo including how to operate the various switches and appliances. The bathrooms were beautifully decorated and equipped with benches and grab bars for those needing assistance. This was an absolutely awesome stay. I cannot wait to come back with the rest of my family.

Great Stay

Great location, first floor was nice to have as it was a short walk to the Beach/view at that level was still beautiful. The Beach Chair (BAREFOOT Beach Rental) set up was the best and worth the money for the week, JUST DO IT. location was close proximity to any and everything. Would stay here again. ICE MACHINES in the residence is definitely are plus.

Very nice, excellent staff

Beautiful property and staff is super attentive to the care of the property and the safety of the patrons. We saw people cleaning the pool and property each morning, disinfecting luggage carts, etc. Security in the evening very friendly while checking wristbands at the pool and making themselves seen. Having two children who liked to go back and forth to the room, beach and pool this was definitely a nice peace of mind.

Perfect View!

This condo was perfect for our family including my partially disabled mom. She could get down to the beach easier than most rental options I looked at. The balcony was a perfect spot to view the beach/water and be entertained by those at the pool. It was near the pool but not so close that you’d be disturbed by noise. Pretty remodel upgrades! Loved the ice machine ice! We had a terrible shower clog issue (due to previous guests, not us!) and it was taken care of pretty quickly. We would stay here again!

Two Bedroom Condo

The property is in a great location. It is close to the pool as well as the beach. The living room furniture is very comfortable, although the recliners did not open. I guess this is to cut down on the wear and tear but it would have been nice to actually recline.

Do not be intimated by the first floor

We booked this condo kind of last minute so when we realized it was the first floor we got a bit disappointed thinking the view would be bad because we’ve stayed at Jade east many times but always on upper floors. However, we were pleasantly surprised that it was actually still a really great view and was so close to the beach and pool that we could easily keep an eye on our kiddos and other family members. This was probably our favorite condo we have stayed at thus far at Jade East! It has an ice maker and a drink fridge that was really handy! The only negative I can think of was that maybe the bunk bed in the guest bedroom was a little shaky and needs some bolts/screws tightened but other than that we thoroughly enjoyed our stay in 130!

Conveniently Accessible to Beach; Bathrooms Need Updating

This condo was conveniently accessible to the beach and pool without taking the elevator along with other areas in Destin like Harborwalk village. The condo also had great views of the water. I definitely wouldn’t rate this as a five star as both bathroom showers/tubs need some updating and additional deep cleaning. We wanted to leave immediately after checking in as the bathrooms were not what we were used to; more of a lower quality hotel. Since we already paid we decided to make do. This was not up to par given the weekly price we paid.
