The property was very comfortable and had a great view from the small balcony. The kitchen is well equipped, lots of small appliances. No dishwasher detergent is provided. Only 1 bath towel per person is provided and 1 roll of toilet paper for each bathroom is provided.
It was an absolutely beautiful condo with amazing views. It had everything you can think of and more. All the beds were so comfortable and the kitchen has everything you may need. We loved our family vacation with our twin 7 year olds. They had a blast. Would definitely go back.
The unit was well stocked. It had a great view of the ocean. We had limited use of the balcony space as the top floor is home to some pigeons but the owner did have some items, like an owl, to try and deter them. The unit temperature does run a bit warm but we felt this was due to the access of the room next to the elevators and narrow hallway leaving the AC unit to run in a small already hot hallway. However the owner stocks a few fans in the unit due to this and it kept us comfortable during our stay mid summer. Our kids shared the room with twin beds which was perfect. The master was large enough our 12 mo old could fit nicely in her pack n play. We brought our own but there was also one provided. The host was courteous, easy to communicate with, and very professional. We would recommend this unit!
This property was PERFECT for our family of four! Extremely comfortable and clean with great views and a well stocked kitchen. We will definitely be back!! The walk to the beach was so close and the pool bathrooms were clean and close by too. We enjoyed eating at AJ’s and Captain Dave’s in Destin.

Can’t use the microwave, coffee maker & air fryer trips breaker had to reset 3 differs times. Guest room resting is difficult a/c unit is very loud. Kitchen counter needed cleaned upon arrival. Balcony furniture in poor condition, the owl does not work had numerous times we came back pigeon poop on furniture. No info of area restaurants available that we have had in the past where we stayed. We had to clean the vacuum to use it very dirty. Dryer is not vented outside.
The condo was beautiful, clean and had everything needed for our stay. No words can describe the views from the balcony. The bed was extremely comfortable as well and the accessibility from the elevator to the unit was perfect, steps from the elevator but no noise whatsoever. We had no issues at all during our week stay. We definitely plan on returning to the unit for future stays. Thank you Jason for sharing your beautiful condo.
Everything was perfect. The condo was awsome the veiw couldn’t be better. Definitely a 5 star place. Only suggestion is to leave more toilet paper and towels. We would definitely book again.
This place is beautiful! Condo was very clean and had every kitchen item you could want. Loved having the air fryer and coffee machine that would do either K-cups or ground coffee. Would definitely stay there again.
The penthouse was absolutely gorgeous and so clean! It had everything you could possibly need for a comfortable stay. It truly felt like home away from home! The view was absolutely beautiful too! I 100% recommend staying here, you won’t regret it!
We have stayed in this area for years. This condo is above and beyond wonderful. If you were like us you spend hours looking at many units. Well we will never be able to stay anywhere else.Nor would we want to. The balcony with the comfy furniture was the best thing about the entire unit! Thank you for sharing this space with a family from Kentucky who has had a very rough year. See you next year God willing and the creek dont rise.
Jason is an excellent communicator & a pleasure to work with - excellent response time. Condo has a nice layout & accommodations for a girls trip; easy check-in, great location, great view of the beach/ocean. We would love to stay at this condo again.
The complex is beautifully maintained.. the condo was spotless and comfortable and the host responsive from booking to departure.. we would definitely stay again..
This property exceeded all of our expectations. We will definitely stay here again. Clean and modern. AC works great. Fabulous view!! Nice comfy patio furniture on balcony to watch the sunsets. Plenty of pillows, blankets. Trash chute a plus for disposal. Unit has stacked washer/dryer, but property also has large laundry room. Close to everything-great seafood restaurant, Target nearby. Great beach service and white powder sand! No downside to property. 7th floor with dual elevators.
The second bedroom was missing a clothing rod in the closet, which made it very inconvenient. This was a girl's trip and we have clothes! Please install a clothing rod.
Also, the second bathroom shower door was broken/ off track. Security lock on front door was broken and hanging.
Overall, great condo and a great location.

Hi Mary,
I am glad that you had a great stay. I was not aware that the clothing rod was missing in that closet and it will be replaced.
You also did not alert me to anything being wrong in the bathroom or I would have had someone come and fix it. You did let me know that the lock was hanging and I did offer to have someone come fix that immediately but you declined.
All of these issues are being fixed and we do appreciate that feedback.
Thanks again for staying!
The condo was well furnished and equipped. The location was great. The owner was very responsive. The only negative was that the site says there is a hot tub but there is not a hot tub on the property.
My husband and I loved this condo which had so many great things about it. What we liked was the fully stocked kitchen, the best location and view from the 7th floor, close to the elevator, beach, near many great restaurants and the furnishings made me feel at home. It had everything you could possibly need. We hope to go back to this condo in the future and have recommended it to our friends. The owner Jason was quick to reply to all my questions and so helpful. Thank you!
This unit is exactly what is advertised! The pool and beach access are so close and the location is within 10-15 minutes from anything you want to do in Destin. We will be back!
