Thanks so much for leaving us a review! We would love to have you back anytime. Please email us at your convenience with your thoughts on what seemed dated. The owners spend a lot of time and $$ making the condo feel like home and updating décor and furniture each year. Please let us know!
It was perfect! Heaven on earth. I would definitely rent this unit again!! Clean, nice decor, great views, beachfront, and pool!!

Thank you for your review. We're so glad we could provide the best vacation home for your birthday! We can't wait for you to come back and vacation with us.
We had a wonderful time during our stay. Beds were comfortable and condo was cleaned and well maintained. The overall resort was very family friendly. My kids loved the shuffle board, pickleball, basketball and mini golf. The pool and pool bar were lovely. We will stay again for sure.

Thank you for the review. The owners do a great job of providing a well stocked and maintained condo. Thanks for being a great guest and please come back and visit with us again.
Thoroughly enjoyed the condo, the facilities, and the area. More than likely, we will book the same
The property was excellent. For most of our beach trips, we have booked Kiawah Island, Hilton Head, and Amelia. First time back to Destin in a while, and we were very happy with our location and the area. Great, being from N W Georgia, we could bypass Atlanta and the traffic. Very relaxing drive down US 227 etc.

Thank you for taking time to review your stay. We do our best to provide a very clean unit for every guest. Please come back and stay with us again.
This unit was beautiful! There weren’t too many complaints except maybe the unit could use a few extra utensils in the kitchen. The kitchen is also kind of small if you get more than 1 person in there. Otherwise, we had a lovely trip.

We absolutely loved our condo and the accommodations. This is our 5th time staying at the Tides. This unit has a gorgeous view and we loved the oversized balcony.

Thank you for taking the time to review your stay. We love to see happy guests and it sounds like you had a great time. We would love to have you back anytime!
We enjoyed our stay! Location is great and loved the ocean view from the balcony! The kitchen is a little sparse and could use some more pots/pans/silverware. Had a couple run in with security over not having wristbands for pickleball courts - property management cleared up situation quickly but frustrating to be harassed by security guard on vacation when wristbands were not left for us.
We loved this condo, it was perfect right on the beach with great amenities. The poolside bar served delicious drinks. There was plenty of parking. The unit was very clean with nice decor, the kitchen was perfect for our family with everything we needed. The ocean views and sunsets were amazing. I can’t wait to go back. I’d definitely book this condo again.
We love Tops’l Tides and Miramar Beach! Love the location and love the easy beach access. This was our first time to stay in 301, but we loved it. (The only recommendation I would have is… get a new couch.) We would certainly stay here again! Only other complaint is their new “no canopy” on the beach rule. But, we still love the condo complex and surrounding area. Will certainly be back.
This is a great unit. Booking this unit was great. I emailed twice about questions and adding a day. All responses were super quick. This unit was clean and had lots of room for our family. We will definitely be coming back.

Thanks for the reivew! We can't wait for you to come back and visit with us!
The condo was really nice. All the areas were large and plenty of room. The beds were comfortable and kitchen well stocked. I was disappointed with the building that partial blocked the view of the ocean. It is shown in the pictures so it was my issue that I missed it. There is still a great view of ocean you just have to look at a building as well. The property is nice and well maintained. It was nice to be out of the Destin traffic too.

Thank you for the detailed review. We would love to have you back at any of our properties!
The condo was wonderful! It was literally spotless!!! The beds were comfortable, and we had everything we needed. The view is great, and we enjoyed sitting on the balcony. We even got to enjoy live music from the pool one evening! :) We loved the convenience of having the stairs to quickly get to the pool and the beach - everything was very close. We really had a fabulous week and would absolutely stay here again!
Thanks for everything!

Thank you for the raving review and great description of our property! We would love to have you guys back anytime.
We just spent 7 days at this awesome condo and it was perfect!! The first 4 days our daughters were there with us and it was their first time seeing the ocean and being on the beach! They loved it so much! This condo was so convenient being steps away from the beach and pool! We were happy to find they even had things available for the beach too! We did leave a couple boogie boards so hopefully another family can get some good use outta them!!
The last few days my husband and I were able to spend some time together and celebrate our 10 year wedding anniversary!
The communication with the property management was wonderful.
I already miss being there!! If you are considering this condo, I would say book now!! We loved it!

Kayla, thank you so much for this awesome 5 star review! We're so glad you had an awesome stay both as a family and a couple! We hope to host you again, we think your 11 year anniversary sounds like a great excuse to come back!
It a typical beach condo BUT HOA has way too many rules and limitations for vrbo users. For example, you can’t use the beach with umbrella even if you rent there unless you OWN the place. You have to go 1 mile out to set your umbrella(beach is guarded by security against invaders like vrbo people- meaning us). Want to rent one of theirs umbrellas? Good luck, they are almost 95 percent reserved all the time. Also it is a hike to go to beach. From your condo to the beach takes around 15 min if you are pulling a cooler or beach dolly. If you are pulling a dolly or cooler you will be dead before you arrive. If you don’t have kids it is ok place. With kids, it is near torture to enjoy the beach. Also internet sucks and there is only a few old channels to watch. And the goes off and on due to unstable internet.

We appreciatge you taking the time to review your stay. The internet works great and we came over the only time you needed assistance only to be sent away. We obviously don't set the rules but they are there to make sure it's not a free for all on the beach. We appriciate your business and are very sorry that Tops'l didn't live up to your expectations.
