Our favorite vacation destination- very nice condo and best beach around. Great place to stay and enjoy Destin !!!

Great location in the heart of it all. Loved the smaller scale as we had more privacy on the beach than some of the mega complexes. House had everything we needed.

Condo was clean, beds were exceptionally comfortable, location was great. Just a 3 min walk to the beach. All furniture and appliances were in good condition and functioned properly. We loved watching the turtle and ducks from our balconies. Restaurants, shopping, icecream all within walking distance. Our only complaint is that the upstairs (kitchen/living room) was a little stuffy and not as cool as downstairs (bedrooms). We would stay here again.

The place needs remodeling it was not clean a far as dirty was on the patio doors when u open it. Refrigerator was rusted in n outside. Couldn’t use the ice due to rust inside the freezer. Patio down stairs was rusted table. Over all would not rent in this section of Destin. I would stay in other rentals providing I could see the real pic of what to do expect. On leaving the entrance was flooded with water n had a bad smell. It’s was okay but not pleasing

Booking and check in smooth process. All codes for facility access were correct, emailed 24-48 hrs in advance. Only concern was the parking pass was emailed 24 hrs prior to arrival. We were on the road with no way to print. Beautiful white sand beach about 1 block walk thru the complex. We were lucky enough to see multiple dolphins swimming by while on the beach! Condo sq footage stated is correct, wide angle pictures look larger. The condo use is aparent. The kitchen window does not close. Upper level patio screen is torn, and does not stay on the track, so it is difficult to keep gnats/bugs out if glass door open. Wear and tear normal throughout. There was no patio table,only 4 chairs on upper level, none on lower level. Gazebo pictured is boarded up without access due to unsafe walkway. Photo should be removed. There are lots of turtles, fish and foul that are visible from the balconies. We enjoyed watching them.
