Probably the best host communication I’ve ever had - answered questions quickly and provided clear checkin information. The condo is a great location to use the beach. It had everything I needed- included kitchen supplies for when we cooked a few meals in. Really appreciate being able to bring my dog and that the condo was very dog friendly. Overall great stay!

About the host

Hosted by Farin Milligan

Host profile image
Our family is originally from Texas, but we have lived in South Florida for about fifteen years. We are avid divers and big on watching our little girl grow up. Both of us have been in various forms of sales or customer service and when we bought our house in Destin it seemed natural to make it a destination for other families when we were not ourselves using it.

Why they chose this property

This specific place was special to us. It is a very small condo / townhome in styling with only 8 units. Most importantly it is right across from the beach with no building in front of it allowing for unobstructed ocean views. That was the deal maker for us!

What makes this property unique

What makes it unique is the close knit feel. It's not some mega plex where you are fighting for parking and have hundreds of other people around. Its a very small community where its never crowded and all the owners are extremely friendly and get along.
