Best Beach Getaways – Team BBG
Overall, the property was very very nice. A very short walk to the beach and decorated nicely. Nice big space with 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. The floor of the bathroom shower could have been cleaner and we were locked out of our room one night for a couple hours due to the keypad going bad, which wasn’t great with 3 small kids. But overall, the property was great and we would recommend it.

Thank you for your review. We appreciate you choosing Best Beach Getaways and are glad we had the opportunity to host you at Grand Caribbean East 202.
Glad the short walk to the beach, the décor, and the roomy 2-bedroom, 2-bath layout met your needs. I’m sorry the shower floor wasn’t as clean as it should have been and that the keypad failed, causing a lockout — especially with small children. We’ve shared your feedback with housekeeping and maintenance so they can improve cleaning procedures and address the keypad to prevent future issues.
Thank you for letting us know—we hope to welcome you back.

This place was a fantastic find! The condo was clean, well kept and decorated beautifully! We enjoyed a lot of time on the balcony, looking out at the ocean from the second floor. Access to the beach is right across the street and the condo is just a 5 minute drive to lots of popular restaurant choices. We absolutely loved our stay!

We have been to Florida the past 8 summers, and by far enjoyed this condo over all of the others we have stayed at. The walk to the beach was very easy, condo was very clean, and the ease of check in/out made the stay very enjoyable.
We will be back!

I love that place it was what I wanted to be in, very clean with a few details not been taken care off, but didn’t affect us at all. I really enjoyed Grand Caribbean east and I’ll be there soon and stay longer time. I love the ocean view!

We appreciate the fantastic 5-star review! It means a lot to us, and we hope to have the pleasure of hosting you again for another beach getaway!
The property is located right next to a cross walk to get to the beach and is only a few minutes walk to having your toes in the sands! Only negatives we can think of are only having 2 garbage bags and rolls of toilet paper available. Otherwise was a great place to stay!

Pros- condo is nicely built, comfortable beds, nice view and walking distance to the beach. All the dishware you could need. Washer dryer worked great. Very peaceful
Cons- there were a few dirty pots and skillets so had to rewash them

Everything was wonderful. Very clean!!My one complaint is that there is very little flexibility with the thermostat. We had to reset the temperature every morning @ 8am or the temperature would kick back up to a temperature warmer than what was comfortable.

Family Vacation
We loved the condo and close proximity to the beach! However, we were given the incorrect gate code for the pool at check in and were never able to use the pool. We called the rental company Best Beach Getaways twice to get the correct gate code and no one ever got back with us. For that reason, we will not stay here again.

Thank you for the feedback. We apologize for the lack of communication and have addressed it with our team.
Very comfortable, good sized condo across from beach. Sleeping quarters great for all and balcony nice, although a very busy road on beach path, so rarely quiet until later at night. Beach crowded but wonderful. The pool sufficed but always full of others’ children, and hot tub only lukewarm. So, I wouldn’t count on those amenities for adults or older teens. My only suggestion is for rental to offer beach and pool towels as that was annoying to have to buy. Otherwise, a lovely place for a spring trip to Destin.

Very nice property, across the street from beach, beautiful ocean view from balcony. The only problem I had was with the advertised price. Price much higher than the daily rate listed once you added fees. Six days listed at $655 but with taxes and fees it was $1364 that’s over double, just advertise the real rate this property is worth it.

Hi Karyn,
We try and give you as much up front as possible. Vrbo structures the price that, but you do get the complete price BEFORE you make your reservation.
