Maria,
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We are so happy to hear you enjoyed your time with us at this beautiful condo. Six Palms 2A is a fantastic vacation condo that wants to be steps away from literally everything! You have shopping and restaurants on the street below, and you can see the emerald waters from your balcony. The owners did a great job making this space feel inviting and stocked it so their guests wouldn't need anything! We can't wait to have you stay with us again!

We have stayed in 30a many times but this location was great for just our 4 person family trip! There are multiple restaurants and treats in a walking distance and the beach is super close as well! The condo was the perfect size for us, I thought it would feel tight based on square footage but the layout was perfect

We really enjoyed our stay! The only thing we didn’t like was the tv in the family room. It kept going out and it was difficult to watch college football games. Location was excellent, close to some really good restaurants.

I stayed with my older daughter and younger daughter and each had friends (ages 13 -22). Perfect location with walking access to so many restaurants. Beach directly across street and that access made our beach days less crowded even though a holiday week. Fireworks on the beach were perfect end to our stay. Would definitely stay again!

We love staying at Gulf Place and to easy access to the beach right across the street. The property is nice. The only negative is that the sofas need to be cleaned and a new rug for the den would be great as the one there curls up and does not lay flat.

Your comments are valuable to us as we continuously work to improve our guests' experience. Sincerely, Benchmark Management!
We really enjoyed our stay here. The condo was clean and exactly as the pictures show. There are plenty of shops and restaurants within walking distance. It's a quick walk to the beach. I was really thankful for the private beach access because the public beach area gets really crowded. The ocean became full of seaweed and red flagged after a few days into our visit, so we were really thankful to have free access to three different swimming pools to relax and cool off. Walmart is about ten minutes away to purchase all your beach supplies and other necessities. You can also rent chairs and umbrellas on the private beach. This area is more low key if you want to avoid the big city. If you do plan to visit Destin, it is a 40-50 minute drive depending on traffic. I would love to stay here again.

Me and my family enjoyed our stay here. Perfect location. It was just a 2-3 min walk to the beach. Great restaurants and shops all walking distance to the condo.
The inside of the condo was perfect for us. Spacious bedrooms with clean and comfy beds.
Kitchen had everything we needed.
Bathrooms were clean and complete with towels and toiletries.
Property manager was quick to respond to any questions I had regarding the condo.
Don't hesitate to book this place.
We are booking this again whenever we have another beach getaway.

Unless staying at a beachfront property you can’t stay in a better spot for a vacation! The condo itself is nice but needs a deep clean or better inspection. We had several unusable towels and the bedspread in the primary room had hairs on it. I wish there had been a little more storage available in the kitchen, but it was a quick stay so we made it work! Overall a nice stay!

Great location but communication and rental need some improvements
We visited in early April for spring break. The location was great, just steps to the beach and lots of restaurants close by.
Cons: Information from the property management company was difficult to come by. We arrived late at night and it was hard to determine how to enter our unit from the information given. The WiFi was not working when we arrived and we had to call for service the next day. The pool codes were not provided for the month of April (it switched on the 1sr of the month and only March was provided). It was also not heated during most of our stay even though it was still getting into the 50s in the evening so it was very cold during the day. Beach access is available but there are rules on where you can sit with your own chairs. Note: The rental does not have any beach supplies. The area right in front or the beach access only allows for rented chairs to be used. The unit itself did not have much provided, very bare minimum of dishes and even soap. The washing machine has very specific instructions on it and you can only wash on one cycle with cold water only.
Pros: great location, easy parking and the pools are nice and large. Very close to the beach and easy to get to other places on 30A. The bed was very comfortable. We enjoyed the large balcony. The waterfall shower in the master was amazing after a long day at the beach or pool.
Overall I would consider staying in this complex again but probably not with this property management company.

Thank you so much for your feedback, Bethany!
It sounds like you had a mixed experience during your stay. The location and amenities of the complex seem to have been highlights, especially the proximity to the beach and the comfort of the bed. However, it's disappointing to hear about the challenges you faced during your stay. The community pool is HOA managed, so we do not control the codes or the pool heat.
Issues with the WiFi and pool access is frustrating. We do not supply any beach supplies, but we do provide kitchen and bathroom amenity boxes.
Hopefully, if you do decide to return to the complex, you'll have a smoother experience! We hope to have the chance to host you again!
Warm regards,

We enjoyed our stay! Condo was small but fit our needs! Check in was a bit confusing, the management team could do a better job of describing the property and amenities. For example, explain the beach access and how to find the hidden pools, what is all included in the properties, etc. they did not even leave the access gate code to get into the pool areas, or explain about taking the access pass to the pools. Overall, we enjoyed the condo and had a nice stay. We liked all the organized kitchen supplies and cupboards. It was full stocked and had nice clean drawers.

We appreciate your feedback regarding the check-in process and property information. We do send out a detailed arrival guide a few days prior to check-in, and then resend it on the day of arrival along with the door code. This guide includes important information such as beach access, pool locations, gate codes, and amenity details. We are sorry if this may have been overlooked or unclear, and we will continue working on making this information even more user-friendly.

Very beautiful condo and very close to beach and famous restaurants to area. Hosts were very accommodating and good communication. Condo is in the very busy and popular Gulf Place.
Enjoyed our stay at this condo! Had an issue with microwave and TV's but not a big problem overall. Communication with condo management was a little difficult. I recommend this property and will probably stay there again for a future trip.
Vitamin Sea on 30A was a great choice for our family! More spacious than it looks in the pictures; very comfortable beds, and some great extras we were not expecting (beach towels and chairs provided; tower fans in bedrooms in addition to ceiling fans, and silly as this sounds - clothes hangers!) The kitchen had everything we needed as well!
The public beach entrance is less than 100 yds from this condo... so close we never even looked for the private entrance.
Communication with owner/manager was outstanding - I would 100% recommend this location!
Everything you need under one roof! Location was perfect -- easy walk to the beach and wonderful restaurants nearby. All the comforts of home in one perfect spot. We will be back.
