Excellent VRBO! Very, very clean and had every amenity you would need! The host was excellent and communicated everything we needed to enjoy our stay!! Would HIGHLY recommend this location!! Top Notch!!
This was the perfect space for my dad, my husband and myself, and our toddler. Very open space! I had a couple of questions about the condo while we were there and the host responded back in a very reasonable amount of time and was very helpful. The pools and splash pad are perfect for families, we loved the zero entry pool! It was a great place to stay!
Condo was great with awesome views. Down side is you pay for a cleaning fee but they want you to also clean up everything before the maids come in and clean up.Overall happy with the stay!

Thanks so much for the kind words—we're really happy to hear you enjoyed the condo and those beautiful views! Glad to know you had a great stay overall.
Just a quick note on the cleaning—since this is our personal vacation home, we don’t have maid services such as a hotel would. Our cleaning professional comes in between guests to sanitize and get the place ready with fresh linens and towels throughout the home.
Our checkout requests are kept super simple—things like loading the dishwasher, wiping up any crumbs, taking out the trash, and sweeping any sand that made its way inside. It's really just the kind of stuff you would do when staying at a friend’s place.
We truly appreciate you helping us keep the home cozy and clean for the next guests. Thanks again for staying with us—and we'd love to host you and your family again.
We throughly enjoyed our stay and look so forward to coming back. Our 14 and 10 year old loved all it had to offer. It was located in such a convenient spot. Communication was great!
This is a great place for families to stay! Huge pool area (one is heated year round). Pack and play, children’s dishes and bunk room. Big balcony and walking distance to beach, restaurants, shops. Playground, tennis courts (with balls/ rackets provided), nice fitness center and coffee shop!
The condo was very nice and clean! Plenty of room for our group. The pool is gorgeous. The owners were helpful and responsive. We didn’t use the shuttle but chose to drive over to Henderson park to go to the beach. The park was beautiful. I’m not sure about the walking distance to beach access. Overall we had a great time!
Accurately described in the listing. Good communication with check-in and check out instructions. Great views from the balcony and the pools were very clean.
This property is very nice. If I had one suggestion, it would be to upgrade couch/seating in living area. One small couch and one chair (and two straw chairs) is not enough for up to 8 people.
We took our Daughter and her family to this Destin Condo, very lovely just like pictures, Granddaughter’s enjoyed the pool the most , definitely a must , a little pricey for not included in price of condo was the only negative.
We enjoyed our stay very much! The condo was as presented online. It was also very clean. The amenities at the resort were very nice.
Our only input is: there were not enough extra blankets, the mattresses were not very comfortable especially in the bunk room and in the couch, there were no kitchen dish towels and no cleaner for countertops and appliances.
We would definitely enjoy coming back!!

Thank you for booking with us Robin. We're glad you and your family enjoyed your vacation and our home. Come back soon, we'd love to host you again!
The place was beautiful and super clean. Only complaint would be the living room furniture. For a three bedroom, I would expect more than a couch and a chair. Not enough space for us all to sit and watch tv together at the end of the day.

Thank you for booking with us Coty. We're glad you and your family enjoyed your vacation and our home. Come back soon, we'd love to host you again!
Stunning condo unit on the 6th floor overlooking the pool and out to the Gulf. Everything was clean, and there were plenty of towels, dishes, etc. The Keurig coffee pot/kcup machine was a very nice touch, thank you! The space was decorated very nicely, and the wraparound balcony was perfect. The fitness facility was excellent, and the pool area and bar were great. Our family of 5 had a very nice experience, and I would highly recommend this property and unit.

Thank you for booking with us Jessica. We're glad you and your family enjoyed your vacation and our home. Come back soon, we'd love to host you again!
We had a wonderful time staying at Destin palms. The room was accurately listed and just as pretty as the pictures. The beach is close by as well as shopping and food. The heated pool and hot tub were a hit since we went in November. The fitness room was nice. The large pool was closed off for the season, and the indoor pickle ball court was not available due to storing Christmas decor. Again it's November, but I feel you need to know what you will be able to use. We recommend the wings at the restaurant on site and the adorable coffee shop. Thank you for our stay we enjoyed it!

Thank you for booking with us Jennifer. We're glad you had a wonderful stay. The large lagoon pool is open all year, but not heated. It was closed for repairs as there was a leak found.
Come back soon, we'd love to host you and your family again.
