Enjoyable stay

Enjoyable stay with accurate representation online. The master bedroom and bath is quite impressive. Great ocean view with easy beach access and local attractions. Having said that there are a few oddities. The faucet for kitchen has it’s hot and cold water reversed (handle has to reversed in order for the faucet to fit), the shower in the one the smaller bedrooms is a mystery to figure out (there’s a hidden switch), the ice maker in the fridge is broken (there’s a secondary ice maker near the sink), and there’s a few places like air vents that need some maintenance. Despite the cleaning charge and Covid sanitation promise, there was sand and dirt on the floor and counters when we arrived. Overall though this was a nice place and very enjoyable.

Sun, Sand, and Chill

Our stay was amazing, the condo was clean, spacious, and well-appointed. The large balcony was outstanding for taking in the gulf view and listening to the waves and at this time of year you get both a sunrise and sunset over the water. I highly recommend this property.

FANTASTIC WEEK IN BEAUTIFUL CONDO!!!

We spent a wonderful week in this Condo and it was was absolutely beautiful and exactly as shown in the pictures. There were 6 adults and 3 toddlers and it was perfect for all of us. The kitchen was the best stocked kitchen in any condo that we have stayed. We cooked in several nights and there was not one kitchen utensil missing and plenty of dishes and cookware. The furniture was so comfortable as were the beds. We have been coming to Destin for over 30 years and this was the nicest condo we have stayed in. We loved being on the end unit as the condo was so light and all the balconies were great. Our grandchildren loved the balcony and we all spent a lot of time out there....the furniture was so comfortable and there was plenty for all of us. There were also so many beach toys, chairs and floaties in the owners closet....didn’t have to buy a thing. We have beautiful memories with our daughters, their husbands and our 3 beautiful grandchildren that we will always cherish. We will definitely stay here again on our next trip to Destin!!!

The place was beautiful with very high end furnishings. The location on the beach was perfect as it was crowded being near the secluded reserve just down the way. Customer service was extremely responsive on just a few issues. We will definitely recommend to our friends.

We loved the location!

Our experience wasn’t great but it had nothing to do with the penthouse. Our bad experience was the Red Tide and Hurricane. Our trip was cut short! Evacuation. We will stay there again! Great service!

Wondreful family vacation

The balcony and the views were the best we have ever seen and we have stayed all along the gulf clear to Marco Island. The washer and dryer were perfect for our 10 person family. The only thing I could think of that might help would be to improve the hot water faucet pressure in the master bedroom. Overall really awesome and we are grateful for the privilege to have stayed there. We would 100% recommend this condo to anyone! Made lots of beautiful family memories!! Thanks so much Randy!!!

Perfect location

Beach was perfect for family with kids and grand parents. Weather could have been better at times but the resulting surf was great. Unit amenities were more than adequate. AC in master bedroom was always colder than the rest of the unit, however. Good time had by all.

Incredible penthouse condo!

We had a family beach trip (5 couples + 1 child) and this condo was perfect! View was fabulous...right on the beach: sunrises, sunsets, dolphins, and ocean. Complex was mostly families so quiet at night. Condo was extremely clean, updated, and HUGE (enough space/room for all of us to have our "quiet" time). Separate storage room had lots of stuff to use (floats, body boards, boogie boards, toys for kids, floats, beach chairs, cooler, etc.) so look in there before you spend $$ to buy anything. Randy was awesome to deal with! Would definitely stay in this condo again!

Amazing views, located right on the white, sandy beaches, abundance of space, immaculate details

Our family had a wonderful family vacation relaxing on the beach in Destin. The accommodations were perfect with plenty of space and everything we needed to feel right at home. The balcony, spanning the condo width of the living room and master suite, became our favorite spot! The amazing view, along with the short walk to the beach allowed for endless trips back and forth to the beach. Early morning walks and nightly crabbing were a hit with everyone. Everything was immaculate and made our week one of the best ever. We will definitely be coming back to this perfect penthouse.

Such a wonderful location and accommodations. Great space, clean, and comfortable. Hope to return!

Such a good experience working with property manager. The condo unit is clean, modern, and comfortable; the photos do not do it justice. We loved being on the private beach yet so close to shopping and dining. A great experience and many fond memories.

ABSOLUTELY PERFECT family vacation

The moment you walk into the condo you are greeted with elegance. Four very comfortable bedrooms and three bathrooms are off the octagonal foyer. A walk down the connecting hallway leads you to the main living quarters, dining area, kitchen, and master bedroom and bath. Along the hallway is also a large laundry room with full size washer and dryer and large sink and folding area. As you walk into the main living quarters you are greeted with breath-taking views of the beach. All furniture and decor are FABULOUS. Kitchen is well appointed. The numerous balconies and private beach are perfect and the pool area adequate. Furniture on the main balcony is very comfortable. There is also a room off the elevator with beach equipment, chairs, toys etc. for condo 401. I can't say enough about how much we enjoyed our stay and also how great it was to work with Randy Rintala. We have already booked our stay for next year. Don't miss your chance to have a beautiful home away from home.

Awesome location, awesome place!

This penthouse is AWESOME. All the reviews are true to their words. This was the first family reunion with our adult children & their families, and the floor layout and room inside and out was perfect. We were blessed to have fantastic weather while there and all of us spent much of our time on the beach, which was never crowded. But our time inside this lovely place was wonderful as well. The grocery store and shops at Destin Commons are just a few minutes away. We had almost all our meals in the condo with the high-end appliances, well-eqipped kitchen, and BBQ area serving us up some delicious meals. We watched fireworks at Destin Commons off the north balcony, didnt have to drive anywhere to see them. We all agreed we want to come back to this place again. Plans are already in the works for a future stay. You will love this place and the ease of working with Randy.
