Wonderful beachfront property. Plenty of room for the 6 adults and 3 kiddos. Kitchen was perfect for our needs, living room so comply but the star was the balcony overlooking the beach. Comfortable seating for morning coffee, quick lunches and evening cocktails….all good. The Master suite was the bomb as was the bath! Great community pool and easy beach access. Not a ton of restaurants nearby but Destin proper is only 20 min or so away. That said you really can’t go wrong, we loved it.

Beautiful spacious condo with great beach views from the large balcony. Great location on the beach with walkable restaurants, bars and coffee shops nearby. Responsive host. (The only drawback was the triple bunk beds in the 4th bedroom. The bunks are tight with little headroom. Really only suitable for small kids.)

Family time at the Beach

Excellent place to stay. Very convenient to get to the beach with no roads to cross. 2 beach chairs and umbrella included. The place was very clean and the balcony is amazing for just sitting out and enjoying the ocean waves and the beautiful sunset. Will definitely be coming back.

We have been going to Destin and Ft. Walton beach for 5 years staying in Condos. This is our favorite place! The Condo is beautiful, it’s on the fifth floor looking right at the ocean! It has a huge patio with a grill. We enjoyed eating on the patio and relaxing to the sound of the ocean every day and night! The condo has a wonderful kitchen, 3 nice bathrooms, 3 nice size bedrooms, along with a bunk room for the kids. We also found some great restaurants very close to the condo. The host was very helpful answering all of my questions. We were able to get the beach chairs and umbrellas set up on the beach right in front of the condo so the walk was quick. We also had covered parking for one car so we didn’t get wet when it rained and we were going out. I would highly recommend this condo! You will love it!

Impressed with this condo

From the moment we walked into the condo, we loved it! It's spacious and beautifully decorated. The balcony was a lovely place to dine or just sit & watch/listen to the ocean. It was well stocked for items needed & a few extra perks--hand soap, shower gel, etc. We liked being toward the end of the beach, it seemed more private!
