Vacationing Paradise - First Floor Condo - White Sandy Beaches on holiday Isle

We enjoyed our stay. Condo was nice. Pool was also a great bonus.

Great place, but not big enough for 6 people. We had 4 adults and everyone was comfortable. The couch only seats 2 adults and then there are 2 side chairs. Definitely would stay here again

We love Poolside Villas and the location!

Amazing place to stay. Best part was the beach was a walking distance. It was like we had our own private beach. The beach was not crowded at all. We had an amazing snorkeling experience.

This condo is nice, could stand some updates. It’s not what I expected as I thought that the patio opened up to the pool. The patio opens up to the parking area (this does make it easy to unload luggage). The main door is caddy corner to the gate that goes to the pool area. The bed in the master room was very comfortable and all seemed very clean. Overall, it was a great place to stay as you are pretty much on the beach most of the time. 100 yard walk to the snorkel area and another 200 yards to the beach. I’ve stayed at Poolside Villas before. The addition of the security gates are a nice update. The walk to the snorkel area is less than in 2010, evidently because they dredged sand from that area and expanded the water front. The only negative I have and it would pertain to the whole Condo and not the owner, is that now a Hotel has taken over the area pretty much straight out behind the condos and made it like a “private” beach area. They boat everyone in from the hotel to the beach area and have umbrellas and chairs set up and only available to their guest. There is still plenty of room on the beach towards the jetties and you will have to walk a little further.

Another downside to the whole Destin area is that it’s getting very commercialized and the traffic is ten times as bad as it was in 2010. Again, this has no bearing on the owner and is just from popularity.

All and all we had a great time and enjoyed the stay.
