Beautiful view

The stay was good . The view is beautiful. Easy access to the beach. Everything you could use for a small vacation. Room I had is beside the elevator so you hear people early in morning n late at night . Expected the pool to be open but it’s closed under construction. If you have little ones and you prefer the pool this won’t be the place until it’s open .

It is located in a great location on the beach, with great walking opportunities and close to many excellent places to eat. The upstairs deck is perfect for breakfast and some morning sun. We recommend Modern Beach rentals as a place for your stay in Destin. We'll be back next February!

Mildew Mess

The location was excellent. The private beach with beach chairs was good. The condo itself was very old and had a very strong smell of mildew. They tried to cover it up with a plug in so then it was a flowery mildew smell. It was the strongest in the master bedroom, where you are sleeping. I feel bad leaving this review but everyone should be warned.

Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The location was great and the beach service was very nice to have. I must say the condo is a bit dated and needs updating. The stove top burners were not good at all, but we made them work. Pots, pans, utensils, need updated as well. They also need to get a new mattress for the bed. We have been staying in Destin for 25+ years and I understand all the use the rentals get, but updates are needed to keep up with the wear and tear.
