Great property- I have stayed in The Grand, Bahia, and Elation previous to this stay. We thoroughly enjoyed the Pilot House. It seemed more secluded then the others. The balcony was nice and big. I will be staying in the Pilot House again.

Thanks, Jim, for the feedback. We are delighted you had such a great experience. As for the essentials, our company provides a limited starter kit as each group has different needs. We hope to host you again in the future.
We loved the condo!! We attended a conference at the San Destin Resort Conference Center and the location of the condo was perfect for that. The kitchen is well stocked and we loved the decor and large porch. We also loved the close proximity of the shops at Baytowne Wharf. We highly recommend Moo La La, a local ice cream shop on the Wharf!! We definitely would stay in this condo again!!

We're so glad that you found everything to be amazing! We understand about check-in--many would like an earlier check-in. It's set at that time to allow housekeeping to get vacated units ready for new visitors. During peak season in particular, that time is a necessity. We hope you understand and we hope that you had a wonderful trip! Visit us again sometime!

My boyfriend and I came for a long Memorial weekend trip and for a friends wedding. The convenience of the Pilot House was central to everything we wanted to do, just steps from restaurants and nightlife and a tram away from the beach. The unit was spacious and clean and had everything we needed to have a wonderful time. The beach chairs were also so helpful!
