****Notice: Ongoing Building Improvements**** SunDestin is currently undergoing building enhancements as part of our continued efforts to improve the guest experience. During business hours, guests may experience construction noise and see work taking place in certain areas of the property. We sincerely appreciate your patience as we complete these upgrades. In consideration of these temporary inconveniences, our rates have been adjusted to provide exceptional value during this improvement period. Thank you for your continued support — we look forward to welcoming you.
***Pool and Amenities Update*** Pools, Restaurant, and Sea Store now OPEN!! "Indoor" Pool (Structure not yet re-built- currently an open air pool.) -The indoor hot tub, splashpad and grill area remain temporarily closed. -The main lobby entrance is being updated and expected to be completed, weather permitting, 4/8/2026. In the meantime, the East walkway is still available for guests to use to enter the lobby.
SunDestin 1703 is a 17th floor, gulf front, one bedroom/1.5 bath condo in the heart of Destin! This stunning condo with drop-dead views has a king-sized bed in the master and a queen-sized sofa bed in the living room that fold out electronically - no struggling to put it away in the morning! There are 1 and 1/2 baths and a jetted tub for soaking. This condo has 2 flat screens and free high-speed internet.
If you’re an early riser, nothing compares to walking to the balcony, sipping your coffee, looking to your left, and watching the sun rise in the east. If sunsets capture your imagination after a day of playing in the soft white sand beach and crystal-clear green gulf, toast the sun setting from the same balcony as you turn to the right to watch the sun light play on the water for the end of a great day.
The kitchen boasts of gorgeous granite counters, new ice-maker fridge, stove, microwave, dishwasher, toaster, blender and all the tools to make a delicious meal. But, because this is Destin, know that you have plenty of fine restaurants as well as good Chinese take-out to enjoy. Sundestin's condo unit #1703 offers the best of the best.

The room was very clean. The view of the ocean was beautiful. Great location. The only thing that could have been better was the internet connection.
We would definitely stay there again.

Liked: Communication, location
Disliked: Check-in
I was disappointed in our stay for several reasons. When we got there, we were told that they didn't have our reservation information. WE had to call and get it, and have it mailed over. (We paid over 300 a night, why are WE having to do anything other than enjoy our vacation, but okay.) We knew there was some construction going on but had we known the extent we definitely wouldn't have booked here. The noise alone was horrible. The condo was outdated, cabinet door knobs would just come off, the toaster didn't work (they brought us a new one rather quickly). The freezer didn't keep ice cream frozen. The bed was ROCK HARD. It was like sleeping on a rock. The bathroom going from the bedroom to the bathroom wouldn't close unless your lifted up on it and forced it to close. The couch made noise every time you sat on it, or if you even moved. The dishwasher was just sitting in the hole where it was installed, you could literally see back in the hole where it was. You had to walk through a construction zone (literally) to get to the hot tub. We have stayed in condos, beach houses, hotels and campgrounds from the West Coast to the East Coast and everywhere in between and this is by far probably the worse stay we have ever had especially considering the price. This was our first time in Destin and sadly will most likely be our last. We didn't talk to the front desk about it because honestly what were they going to do about this stuff while we were there?
The Property itself was great! Location to beach perfect. The actual room was just okay, it was older very noise when sitting on balcony due to the AC unit running while you're out there.

The condo property is great! Indoor and outdoor pool and right on the beach!
The condo property has many great amenities, the condo itself is in need of a lot of updates, there was mold in the bathroom and the sofa and sleeper within it were very broken down.

Hi Courtney, we are glad you enjoyed the many great amenities this property offers with spectacular sunsets and views of the Gulf from the 17th floor private balcony. The property owner is aware the sofa and sleeper needs replacing and is getting pricing to do so. Additionally, requests have been submitted for pricing to repaint and re-floor the condo along with replacing the balcony furniture. The living room TV has been replaced. Thank you for your feedback and for staying with Real Joy.
Joan, Thank you for taking the time to review your stay. We're glad everything was easy and the location worked well for you. We'll pass along your comments regarding updating to the owner for their consideration. Thank you for choosing RealJoy.
Wonderful stay. Love the location by the beach & restaurants. We really appreciated the early check-in availability especially after a 14-hr drive.Rooms are a little outdated including main door that has metal sticking out on the bottom that can cut your feet & can do serious damage (reported to bldg), sofa bed probably needs to be replaced & is not what’s in the description or pictures posted.
Property had a great view of the ocean and plenty of things to do around the property. The only complaint we had was the pool was closed for renovations and we weren’t told ahead of time.

Denzel at the check in counter was not friendly at all for someone just checkin in. And couldn’t use our balcony due to the fact that our neighbors would smoke weed all day and night but…. The rest was as described. Beaches were beautiful
