Really enjoyed the condo, the location, and the things to do in the area. I am disabled and the elevator made it easy for me to get on the floor the condo was on. The condo was beautiful and very well layed out and well equipped. Thank you for a wonderful stay.

Nice Place

The unit was a pretty nice place over all. The second bedroom was a little awkward with no door for privacy. The balcony could use a little more comfortable seating to enjoy the view. The unit was clean and very good communication with owner.

Wonderful Stay!

We’ve been vacationing in Destin for 15 years and this condo by far was our favorite. It was plenty spacious for 6 of us, even more so than the pictures depict. We were all able to have our own space as needed which was great. The kitchen was well stocked, although I would recommend bringing a Keurig if that’s your thing. The beach views and proximity were fantastic!! We were condo to toes in the sand in just a few minutes. And bonus, the beach is not overly crowded. They do a great job of spreading everyone out appropriately. We very much recommend this condo and look forward to booking again for a future trip.

The condo was beautiful. It had everything we needed & more. It was located in a great area with plenty of places to eat, shop or socialize. We were a group of 18 total, staying in 5 different condos. This 1 was the nicest of the 5. The owners were easy to contact with questions I had, before we arrived. Everything was just as it said. The beach towels were an unexpected, but great addition. We will definitely stay there again, if it is available the next time we visit Destin.

Christmas on the Beach!

Beautiful views! Amazing beach decor! Dishwasher was full of old water when we arrived that smelled! We turned it on and water went everywhere! One part of the sink was stopped up and also leaked water! The outside fire alarm also went off twice for no known reason! We were still able to prepare Christmas dinner, however we did spend a lot of time mopping water! Host was extremely nice!

Wonderful!

We loved this beach condo. It had beautiful views, was well stocked, easy parking and access. We had plenty of dishes, towels and blankets. The owners even let us check in early, which was greatly appreciated. My only complaints- the air was set to 74 the day we arrived and since the unit is on the top floor, the upstairs was unbearable for the rest of the day/night until it finally cooled down. My bed wasn’t the most comfy but that could be personal preference. We also couldn’t find a pillow that was decent out of the 15 or so in the unit. There is also no bathtub in the unit, so be aware if you have small children. Luckily my 3 year old was okay taking his first shower and thought it was cool. I would gladly stay here again!

A First

First visit with our granddaughter who fell in love with the beach. Everything was wonderful with the condo; however, I do wish The elevator had worked. It was tough getting heavy items up & down to & from the third floor & hard on 60+ year old knees. Also why was the gate open to the public? We pay for a private beach and this was the second stay where this was not the case. A young man dressed in an inappropriate anatomical coatume was making the rounds. After a father told him that this was inappropriate for children there, he left without a fuss. This shouldn’t have happened at all.

perfect location

Condo was very nice, we recommend it. The view from lanai was perfect. Only suggestion we would make is that unit could use some mirrors in loft and secondary bedroom. Had 3 women staying upstairs and with only one mirror over the sink, was a bit crowded to dry hair, do make up etc. Communication with owners was wonderful. Absolutely no complaints from us. Thank you!

Why they chose this property

This neighborhood is quiet, safe, close to the most popular shopping areas and unique restaurants, being perfect for families wanting privacy and convenience.

What makes this property unique

It’s the best unit in our area because it showcases the best unobstructed panoramic gulf views throughout- being the corner, top floor unit, directly on the Gulf. Couple the views with convenient parking, complimentary beach service and no hassles - just beach front at your fingertips! Inside the decor is luxury upscale coastal with all natural pure linens and appointed details set your comfort and convenience. The ease of parking steps away from the condo, checking in, and walking straight out to the beach all within 5 mins speaks volumes.
