Was not the same unit as listed

Overall our stay was OK however we were put into a completely different unit which did not have two king beds (which we specifically booked and paid for). The unit we were given had only one king bed and the other bedroom only had a queen and a twin. Also, the dishwasher in the unit we were in didn't wash properly and the heater/ furnace was very loud. Beach was amazing and loved the location.

Getaway with old friends

We joined a friend couple in Destin that we have been friends with for 40 years. They are our best friends and Godparents to our son. We moved from the midwest to the east 17 years ago, so we don’t see them regularly like we did when we lived next door. We have talked about getting together for a long time and we finally did it! The place we selected in Destin was absolutely perfect and we had a blast! What a beautiful place to reconnect with old friends! So much to do and, of course, some serious beach time on the cool to the touch sandy beaches. Our vacation was a 10 for sure! Planning for next years trip with our friends already!!!
