This rental was beautifully decorated. It had great access to the beach. We truly enjoyed our stay here and while we have stayed many places over the years my son said this is the place we should always book.

Great Location/Condo

Great area of the beach with a very short walk. Rooms are very nice and the kitchen is well stocked. You will need to rent umbrellas on the beach though.

This is our second year staying at dancing wave. We love the balcony and sipping coffee in the morning with a view of the boats gathering for the day. We love the Well appointed kitchen and the convenience of the location. It’s a short walk to the pool or beach, and shopping is very handy too. We had trouble with the toilets this year and it took management a few days to get there, but it was a holiday weekend. Otherwise, another perfect, week in Destin! Thank you for letting us stay in your beautiful condo!

Loved this Place

Beautiful Condo, great location! Beds, pillows and sheets were top notch -- very, very comfortable even in the bunkbed room. The only problem that we experienced was with other condo owners in the building. We were confronted several times about where we sat on the beach & we were asked to move several times.

Thank you so much for your kind words! We're thrilled to hear that you enjoyed the condo and found the beds and linens so comfortable — even the bunk room! We’re sorry to hear about the challenges you experienced on the beach. That’s certainly not the relaxing experience we want for our guests. While beach access and seating can sometimes be a tricky issue with shared spaces, we appreciate you bringing it to our attention and will look into ways to help prevent this from affecting future stays. We hope to welcome you back soon for an even more seamless experience!

Great find for reasonable price

I typically stay at the Destin West Resort. However, the bed situation for 2 and 3 bedrooms doesn't work for adults. I was very pleased with the condo, location, and the beach wasn't crowded at all. Will definitely book here again.

Need bigger coffee cups in the condo and at least offer one set up on the beach. (Chairs and umbrella)Other than that, overall, we had a great week on our family vacation.

Perfect for Family w/kids!

We really enjoyed our stay- it was perfect for our family of 5- each kid had their own big bed and shared one bathroom and the parents had their own room and bathroom. The little kids loved that each of the bunk beds had their own TVs so they could watch what they wanted. The space is updated and clean- exactly what we were hoping for! Laundry is in the bunk bed room but that wasn’t an issue for us. The kitchen has everything you need to cook and eat in if you want. Proximity to the pool and beach were so close we didn’t need a wagon to carry anything and could run up for lunch without it feeling like a chore- especially only having to climb one flight of stairs. We enjoyed pickleball, too! Definitely recommend renting chairs for the beach because the actual beach space is limited if you don’t. You can rent online ahead of time and that is probably what we should have done since they almost ran out of spots for us when we got there. We also appreciated that the complex had a place where you can air up rafts and floats for the beach and the pool house restrooms were really nice. Loved our stay!

Thank you so much for the thoughtful and detailed review! We're thrilled to hear the layout worked perfectly for your family and that the kids enjoyed their own space (and TVs!) in the bunk beds. It’s great to know the updated space, well-stocked kitchen, and easy access to both the pool and beach made your stay even more enjoyable. We’re also glad you got to take advantage of the pickleball courts and found the extra touches—like the raft pump station and clean pool restrooms—convenient. And yes, beach chair rentals definitely help make the most of the limited shoreline—great tip for future guests! We’d love to welcome you back anytime!

Great location and property managers did great with communication.

This is the second time we have stayed in at Inlet Reef. We love the location, pool and beach. Beyond Blue was very helpful with communication, check in process and their helpful website. The condo was beautiful and kitchen was stocked nicely. Unfortunately, we had to pay for the chair service separately this time. We also were provided minimal toilet paper and trash bags so we had to run out a few times. The pool also closed during our stay for maintenance. Since it was a red flag day, it was pretty inconvenient. Not this condos fault or Beyond Blue but the communication from Inlet Reef and their home owners team was rude and borderline shady. The rooms did not fully accommodate 8 people. We had 7 and one had to sleep on the couch. Overall, great stay and the condo was beautiful.

Thank you so much for your detailed feedback! We're thrilled to hear you enjoyed the location, pool, beach, and that the condo itself met your expectations. We’re especially glad our team and website helped make your stay smooth and enjoyable. We truly appreciate your notes about the supplies and chair service—while the beach service is managed by a third party, we understand how frustrating that change can be. We’ll also review our starter supply details to help future guests better prepare. We're sorry to hear about the unexpected pool closure and your experience with the Inlet Reef team—it’s disappointing when communication falls short, even outside of our control. Thank you again for staying with us—we’d love to host you again and hope your next visit is even better!

Misleading Photos, Underwhelming Experience

The location of this rental was genuinely its best feature — convenient and close to everything we needed. Unfortunately, the condition of the property didn’t match the photos or our expectations. The bathrooms were very outdated, and one had a chipped wooden toilet seat that felt unsanitary. The kids’ room had sheets with visible stains, which was concerning. Most frustrating were the floors — they were so dirty that our 8-month-old had black palms and picked up hair just from crawling. I could list more issues, but I mainly want future renters to have a clear picture. This property has potential, but it needs serious attention to cleanliness and maintenance.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We're glad to hear you enjoyed the convenient location, but we’re truly sorry that other aspects of your stay didn’t meet expectations. We want to assure you that cleanliness is a top priority for us. Prior to your arrival, our team completed a full inspection, including confirming that all sheets had been changed, and we have documentation to support this. However, if anything was missed or not up to standard, we sincerely apologize — that’s not the experience we aim to provide. The property recently underwent a remodel, though it did not include the bathrooms. The current photos on our VRBO listing accurately reflect their condition, and we encourage guests to review them when booking. We appreciate your honest input and are committed to using this feedback to improve. Thank you again for staying with us.

It is spacious (BR 3 is small but adequate), the kitchen is very well equipped, the balcony overlooks the pool and has a nice ocean view. In addition, it is a short walk to the beach. Parking is covered. Furniture is comfortable. We didn't want to leave! We highly recommend Dancing Wave for your vacation.

The Dancing Wave

Rating Details: The property manager was somewhat unhelpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Family enjoyed our stay at the Dancing Wave Condo in Destin. The owners of said condo kept it in pristine condition with the most luxurious accommodations. From the stainless steel appliances to the gorgeous cutlery and dishes, we were very impressed. The linens were lovely. The owners hadn’t quite finished renovating the bathrooms but once they finish they will be magnificent. Beyond Blue vacations disappointed me when it came to the informations they provided us. We never received parking passes for our two vehicles. The building manager wrote us a free parking pass for our stay even though it was her job to do so. Also the gate codes for the entire property that beyond blue gave us were incorrect. The building magnet was able to give me the codes on a sticky note to help make our stay more convenient. I reached out to beyond blue and they basically told me that those were the only codes they had so if they weren’t working it wasn’t their fault. All in all I loved to condo I just wished it was rented out by the owners themselves or a different rental company.
