Awesome beach times!

This is a really nice condo with a great view from the balcony! I loved being right on the beach. It was nice to have a good size kitchen too so we could cook some of our meals. Comfy bed too. I would definitely stay here again!

Great place to stay!!

This is what we needed a clean condo right on the beach!! It’s great when we wanted to cook our own meals, we had everything that we needed for that. The pool was nicely heated, hot tub was great!! My son enjoyed the workout area. The best part was just walking on the beach and having the beach chairs and umbrella ready. We saw dolphins almost every morning swimming by. All in all this is just what we needed.

Great stay!

We had a great vacation. The unit was exactly like the pictures, it was very clean and we had everything we needed. It came with two beach chairs, you get it set up with the beach attendants at the start of the stay and you have it reserved for the whole week in pretty much the same spot (no waking up early to get a good spot like at some properties). Security is onsite and everyone was pleasant. The hosts are easily reached and communicative. Would definitely try to book again for next year’s beach trip.

The view from the balcony is beautiful. The property was great. The only thing I think could be worked on is the dishwasher sticks out some and I always felt like it was coming out of the cabinet and I was pushing it back in.

Destin

Unit was very clean and just as represented in their ad. Umbrella and chairs were nice to have included- if you had to pay for this - cost is $40 a day - so $280 for a week - First floor is only a few steps up from ground floor so it’s not a problem if elevators are busy. You won’t regret staying in this unit

Perfect Place to Stay!

This was our third year in this condo and we keep coming back. First - it has all the amenities you want and the comforts of home! The owners are so much better to work with than rental companies. We love the keypad on the door so we don't have to hassle with keys, it's on the first floor which means one quick flight of stairs down and no waiting on the elevators while enjoying the great ocean view, plenty of pool lounge chairs, and it includes two beach chair rentals with an umbrella! You are close to everything in Destin but really don't have to go anywhere if you don't want to. I highly recommend this condo!

The Perfect Place

This particular unit was perfect for what we were seeking. It is the first floor above the parking garage. The main living room /patio view almost touches the beach. The unit was clean and totally equipped. The pool and path to beach and gym were all near this unit. The condo bldg has its own private beach and tgis u it comes with a daily beach setup,umbrella/chairs. The location is very close to all conveniences and restaurants. Very close to state nature areas and many areas to hike and bike. The host is the best, immediately responsive and thoughtful. It was a perfect stay.

Great Location and views!

This condo is a great location! Steps from the nice pool and of course the beach! It was so convenient to have the beach chairs and umbrella put out each morning too. We easily walked to The Back Porch and all other fun attractions were just a short ride or Uber away. The kitchen was stocked with all kinds of appliances and dinnerware, etc. I also thought the condo/building was nice and quiet- we couldn’t hear anybody in the condos next door or no stomping from anyone above. Also, I didn’t think we would use it at first but having a washer and dryer in the unit ended up being very handy. Overall, we had a great stay!

Wonderful place, great location, but several irritations

Fantastic trip in this condo! It is beautifully updated. We loved the fish decor throughout. Location was exceptional - on the beach. Gorgeous views from living/dining/kitchen areas. Great patio as well. Loved beach chair service. Master bed was very comfortable. My teenage daughters said bunk bed mattresses were comfortable but bed shakes too much when someone moves. Leslie provided prompt & thorough communication. We were so grateful that she gave us a late checkout on our last day. Condo had a small styrofoam cooler and an ice maker - great for bottled waters on the beach. There was also a plastic bucket we were able to use to keep items off the sand. Overall, we loved the place and our stay there, but there are drawbacks. The biggest being the lack of items supplied which you find out only after booking. Beach towels are not provided. 4 beach towels took up a lot of room in our suitcase. Shampoo/conditioner/body wash/lotion aren't provided. We had to pack two sets of each of these for the two bathrooms. Limited number of towels. But we brought laundry pods and washed the provided towels. Limited dishwasher soap - had to bring our own. Also had to bring our own trash bags. We ran out of the provided toilet paper and paper towels for just a three-day weekend. Bedrooms are on the street side of the condo and it gets noisy with traffic, trash pickup, and people walking by. Gate to access beach is close to patio & slams loudly with every person going to/from beach.

Fantastic Destin Beach Condo

We absolutely loved staying in here! This was our first visit to Destin after vacationing in Hilton Head for 20 years, and this introduction to Destin couldn't have been better. The location was ideal, right on the beautiful beach, with a full glass window wall / sliding door to the balcony so I could see the water all the time. The walk from room to water was very quick. One afternoon I went up to the room to make a sandwich and I was back in my beach chair in only 11 minutes! I like to stay on the beach from late morning until sundown, but my husband and teenage daughters like to explore the area more and come down to the sand, ocean, or pool for an hour or two at a time - this location was ideal for all of us. They went parasailing at the harbor, explored The Track nearby, and we indulged in more than one delicious meal at The Back Porch seafood restaurant (a short walk down the beach.) Condo owner was very easy to communicate with, & quick to respond when I had questions (about the property, our booking, or things to do nearby.) The condo is very nice, meticulously maintained & clean, comfortable furniture, easy to get a good night's sleep on the confortable beds. A lot of attention is paid to details to make sure guests have a great trip: every switch is labeled, there are more than enough cooking tools provided in the kitchen, powerstrips available at each side of the bed. We loved it and would definitely rent again.
