About this property

Actually on the Beach! Private beach, 1 row umbrella max, Sleeps 8, huge balcony

  • Beautifully remodeled condo ON THE BEACH ( like it’s on the sand so authentically beachfront )! It is a gated, restricted area on one of the few private beaches in Destin. When staring out, you only see the ocean- the pool is not in the line of sight, and the balcony is enormous-3x the size of most, so it feels super Zen and relaxing. This 2/2 sleeps 8 comfortably and has upscale finishes and bedding. There is NO beach crowd, and umbrellas are never more than one row back year-round.

Bliss at the Ocean

Property Manager, Nikki, was fantastic to deal with in regards with this property. She included very detailed emails, videos, and texts before the vacation and during. The magnificent views from our living room, bedroom, and balcony were just breathtaking. The location from the condo to the ocean was amazing! The pool was clean and warm, the parking was very close, and the condo itself was updated, clean, and comfortable. I highly recommend this property and hope to stay here again!

One of our favorite beach trips ever! From the moment we walked in, everything was spotless, beautifully decorated, and fully stocked with everything we could possibly need for the kitchen, for electronics, and for beach items. I loved all the reading options & family games! Nikki is a top notch host, with an incredible attention-to-detail, and so responsive to messages . The binder contained so many helpful recommendations for things to know and do in the area. The location was perfect, the condo was so comfortable & CUTE. The views were breathtaking. No crowds and the best weather. We didn’t want to leave, but we will absolutely go back! This is our new favorite beach spot!!!

Great location, even better host

We have stayed at this complex before, so the epic location was no surprise. What was especially awesome though was the host. Check in? She texts you directly. No answering machine, no management company - direct. This, to us, is invaluable. The place was also unbelievably clean, nicely stocked, etc. Zero complaints! We’ll be back!

The property was exactly as advertised. Great views from the main room and master bedroom. The beach was definitely not crowded! We spent just as much time on the balcony watching the dolphins as we did sitting on the beach. We will definitely be returning.
