Great Week

The unit doesn't come with any hidden extras (chairs, towels) so be prepared for that. But, it's clean, great location at the resort, and the resort is kept quiet and clean. Easy in and out.

Wonderful trip to Fort Walton Beach

We just returned from a great trip. This was the perfect place to stay for our family of 4. Checkin was very easy and seamless. The lazy river is across the street but easily accessed via the walking bridge. Only one flight of stairs and steps to the beach. Several restaurants within walking distance. Also check out was very smooth and required minimal effort in our part - only requested to take out the trash and run the dishwasher.

Destin ~ 2nd time was better than 1st

This unit was fabulous! We stayed last year in a different unit same property and hands down we enjoyed this one better. All Appliances worked great! Access to beach and pool was perfect, Fresh paint and fully stocked kitchen was perfect. Beds super comfy and so was furniture. Cons, bedding was too small for master bed so kept pulling off at night, sandy floors .......... (I may have to pack my dyson for our next trip to give it a quick clean up after the beach) and the back slider was impossible to close. Weather proofing on front door bottom needs to be replaced as well. These are small nitpicky items compared to the overall state of this unit.

Wonderful stay and close to everything

We were very pleased with our stay. We had 3 adults and 2 children. There was room for the pack n’ play in the master bedroom. The bed was extremely comfortable and large. Both bathrooms are great size. The master bedroom has a bathtub/shower. The second room with the bunk beds has a smaller bathroom with a shower. The bunk beds are comfy and spacious enough for an adult to fit. My husband is 6ft and fit. The living room has a pull out couch (queen size) which was reasonably comfortable. The kitchen has all utensils and dishwasher. We made pizza in the oven one night and were delighted to see a pizza cutter was in the drawer. Plus a pan. The room has a washer and dryer which was awesome! The balcony overlooks the pool on the second floor and you can see some of the gulf! Beautiful view! The only con which I can say is understandable given you’re coming from the beach is the floors were filthy. Our feet were black from the floor. They could use a really good clean. The sliding door needs to be fixed. Very hard to open and close but we managed. Those cons wouldn’t keep me from coming again, i definitely would stay here again. It would be nice to see those be corrected. We enjoyed the pools so much! The condo was in walking distance to the island next door which has amazing breakfast buffet. Then the resort next to them has lots of restaurants. Walking distance to beach bars, gift shops and more. You can bring your own pool floats with to use in the pool.
