We enjoyed a long weekend at the condo. We were at the perfect height for a Birds Eye view of the pelicans flying by. Enjoyed the beach, pool and condo. The nearby restaurant, The Back Porch, was easy to walk to and get some family meals quickly!

Wonderful unit but getting the key cards was a nightmare. It’s off location and the lock box is ancient and doesn’t unlock as it should. They expect you to return the keys there , again not able to get it unlocked had to stuff the keys and wristbands in the crack of the box door because the box wouldn’t open. Not fun times at 6am.

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re glad you enjoyed the unit and appreciate your comments about the key card process. We’re sorry for the frustration you experienced with the lockbox and understand how inconvenient that must have been, especially so early in the morning. Your feedback has been shared with our team so we can review and improve the check-in and return process.
The condo is great! Everything was clean, had amazing views, and direct beach access. We did have to buy our own beach / pool towels to use. You can rent an umbrella/beach chairs or take the chairs from the condo to the beach and save on the rentals. Overall great stay and would book again!

Thank you for sharing your experience. We’re thrilled you enjoyed your Destin getaway and those spectacular views. We truly appreciate your recommendation and look forward to welcoming you back.
We had a fabulous time! My main complaint is we woke up to no coffee on the first morning since we all brought k-cups and the keurig didn’t work. The ‘extra’ bathroom is pretty small.

This condo is absolutely beautiful. The views of the beach are amazing. Everything is very clean and there is a lot of space to stretch out. The kitchen is fully stocked and made making Thanksgiving dinner a breeze. I enjoyed spending the holiday here with my family. I’d love to come back here again.

Hi Jennifer, thank you for taking the time to review your stay at St. Maarten! We are happy to hear that you found the room large and the kitchen with everything you needed! We are so happy to hear that you will stay at this location again and we can't wait to have you back!
The condo was exactly as described - beach is absolutely beautiful! It does seem as if you can’t use your own beach chairs and the rentals can be a bit pricey but it honestly makes for an uncluttered beach atmosphere which was very nice. I would definitely recommend this property

My husband and I took a quick getaway recently and stayed at this condominium! We were pleasantly surprised by the exquisite views and condition of the property! It was close to EVERYTHING Destin and with an elevator directly to our place made it extremely convenient. We will most definitely be back again and we cannot wait!

Great... property, location, access to the beach, A/C, ocean views, room size, kitchen, water pressure, direct elevator access, beach chairs in closet, access to restaurants, etc.
Pics were good and accurate, but the actual was even better than advertised. We had a great time and would definitely return.

great place
The property itself is excellent, very comfortable, easy to get to beach, beautiful views. However the list company, Best Beach Getaways, is horrible at communication. Make sure you call them before you arrive to confirm whether you can go straight to the property or if you need to go to their office to get the keys.

This Condo was absolutely beautiful! The wrap around balcony with emerald view coast was breathtaking! Huge Master that was separate from the other two bedrooms for privacy. All three bedrooms had full baths. Extremely spacious and newly renovated! Five Stars and we will be back!!

Destin Trip with grandkids
The condo was wonderful and just as pictured. We loved the location. The resort was great with the pool and hot tub being everyone’s favorite. Our only complaint was having to drive the 6 extra miles to get the keys and to take them back. If they could have a drop box there at the property this would definitely be a 5 star rental.

Thank you for your review. We’re glad you enjoyed the condo and resort amenities. We appreciate your feedback about key pickup and will share your suggestion about a drop box with our team for future convenience.
This was our first time in Destin and we could not have picked a better place to stay! The condo was beautiful and the gulf views were perfection! Everything from reserving, check-in, and check-out went as planned. The condo was comfortable and well stocked with everything (dishes, pans, utensils, etc.) we needed. We loved the parking garage space and easy access to the elevator and pool. We look forward to staying here again!
