We arrived to an immaculate condo, with an amazing ocean view and amenities to fit any need or activity. We enjoyed relaxing on the balcony listening to the waves, the pool and the short walk to the beach throughout our stay, Excellent restaurants nearby and we took advantage of the outlet shopping on the one rainy day. Communications with our hosts was excellent throughout our stay.

Beautiful condo right on the Gulf

Everything about this place was wonderful! A beautifully decorated condo that was stocked with everything you could possibly need. The owners checked in occassionally to make sure we had everything we needed. Many amenities including two pools, hot tub and private beach. I even forgot something and the owner mailed it to me.

Piece of heaven

We had a great time, the condo had an amazing view and loved listening to the surf. We had 3 of our adult grandkids stay a night here and there. And played our cards at the beautiful antique kitchen table. Our dog Stanley enjoyed the deck watching all the other Dogs. Thanks for sharing your condo with us! And the beach service was a plus 🏖️

Long awaited Honeymoon

My husband and I finally took the time for our honeymoon, 31 years in the planning. I've stayed at this condo complex before and new where I wanted to take the husband. When I found this one I knew it was perfect. This property is awesome and was perfect for us! The property managers are very excellent to work with. The remodel they have done makes the space very welcoming and it feels like your home away from home. I also noticed the improvements that are happening throughout the entire property and was very impressed as well. We enjoyed our time so much that we will definitely be back. Thank you to Destin 2B for EVERYTHING!
