About this property

Waterview Towers 603 - Gulf Front Penthouse, Private Balcony, Community Pool!

Waterview Towers 603 -

Waterview Towers says it all! This penthouse unit is perfectly situated on the Destin harbor with views of the water from every room. Once you have seen the views from the private balcony, enjoying a sunset will never be the same. The main living area and kitchen are very spacious for family gatherings. This property boasts elegant furnishings and decor fit for a King. With its three spacious bedrooms this property will sleep up to 8 people comfortably. The master suite offers a large king sized bed with a Westin Heavenly Mattress, a private luxury bath en suite, a sitting area with floor to ceiling windows, and private balcony access. The two guest bedrooms have ample space as well with a second master bedroom that offers a king sized bed with a Westin Heavenly Mattress, a sitting area, and balcony access. The final bedroom is equipped with two queen beds, and each bedroom has access to a shared Jack and Jill bathroom.

The amenities at Waterview Towers, like the penthouse, offer beautiful views as well. The pool and hot tub are beachside, and the tennis courts offer vistas of the Destin Harbor. To round out the amenities, Waterview also has an on-site fitness center, in addition to community laundry facilities on each floor.

If the children or the adult in all of us are looking for a place to be entertained for the day, downtown Destin offers two wonderful amusement parks. Big Kahunas water-park is a great place to go cool down for the day. If you tire of the water-park, they also have a putt putt course, and two go-cart tracks. Right down the street from Big Kahunas is The Track amusement park. The Track offers several go-cart tracks, an arcade, bungee jumping, bumper boats, and another putt putt golf course for the whole family to enjoy.

All One Level: Living Room with Queen Sleeper Sofa and Balcony Access, Kitchen, Dining, King Master Bedroom with Walk-In Shower and Balcony Access, King Bedroom with Balcony Access, Jack and Jill Bath with Tub/Shower Combo, Bedroom with Two Queens Beds, Powder Room.

Beautiful views

This is a nice, large condo with plenty of space. Unit was clean and a shared laundry across the hall.I was slightly disappointed this was not a walk out beach, and now understand the photo of the rocky ledge. As someone who lives in a very northern state (we have lakes, not beaches) I didn’t think this would be an issue…unable to walk into ocean or let kids swim “off the dock”. I wouldn’t call it false advertising but perhaps a better description as travelers come from all over. We would definitely stay again, and be better prepared to visit the public beaches.

Sea Wall, NOT on beach

Description misleading. Nothing said about sea wall, implied beach access. Very disappointed as we always stay with immediate beach access. Condo very nice. I have a pool at home. Big expense for a pool, could have stayed at home. Advertisement misleading.

Beautiful place

The condo was beautiful and big. Views were amazing. The only issue we had was in one of the bedrooms the blinds were broken. I sent probably 5 emails and stopped by the ocean reef office to discuss the issue. It was never fixed when we were there. We stayed from the 19th-28th of April so I figured it would of been fixed while we were there and it wasn’t. Didn’t knock anything off our price for us either. Like I said beautiful place and wanted to give it 5 stars but due to poor renting agency I couldn’t.

Response from VrboOwner on 29 Mar 2020
Jared, We are very sorry to heat that the blind wasn't replaced in a timely manor. Sometimes it is all up to the vendors schedule and the blind may have had to be ordered. Having a blind broken does not necessarily permit us to discount your stay. Let us know as soon as you would like to come back and we can offer a return customer discount on your next rental.

We are frequent guests to the East Pass in Destin. Our family's favorite spot! The property itself is wonderful and spacious with amazing views of the pass and pool area. The unit is well appointed and comfy beds, as well. A 5 rating for the property. Our critique, however, is of the management company that rented the unit, Ocean Reef Vacation Rentals. Avoid rental from this company at all costs. They rented the unit knowing there would be construction in the adjacent building. For five days of our vacation, we awoke and endured consistent, extremely loud jackhammers and grinders. The balconies were all being retiled. The property manager explained that everyone, including Ocean Reef, was contacted regarding the construction over four months prior to our stay. Ocean Reef failed to be transparent about the issue, offered no remedy and refused any type of refund. Our autistic child was stressed all week. He was frighted to even use the pool. Only enjoyed the balconies after 5pm when the workers stopped for the day. We would stay at this unit again but are done with anything offered by or connected to Ocean Reef.

Everything was great with the condo except mold on the shower doors, mold/ what ever around the toilet where it sits on the floor and mold on the trim below sliders. Cleaned it up. This isn't a problem for just this until. It's a occurring problem with other properties I have stayed at. Cleaning company is ripping someone off or who ever they report to doesn't care. Yeah, I would still go back Beats below 0 in Iowa.

Awesome place, fantastic views!

My family and I absolutely loved our stay and will return. The views at this condo are unlike any other and we enjoy having the ability to dock our boat across the way (although this unit doesn’t come with a slip). One recommendation I have is relating to the master bedroom. The mattress is very worn and needs to be replaced. Other than that, we had a great time! Thank you for allowing us to enjoy your beach home :)

a couple items to improve on.

1. The communication about the condo forgot the wifi password so we had to call for it. (not a big deal) 2. The bed in the master suite was soft but terrible. there were huge digs on both side which made it VERY uncomfortable. 3. the TV in the master suite was VERY small and being so far from the bed it was hard to see when laying in bed at night. Other than that it was a very nice place to stay and we would rent it again in the future.
