The private bedroom features a new king bed and an updated bathroom vanity, while built‑in hallway bunks—each with its own TV—offer a fun and functional sleeping space for kids. The living room sofa also converts to a sleeper, allowing the condo to comfortably accommodate up to six guests.

The fully equipped kitchen includes granite countertops, a breakfast bar, and all the essentials for preparing meals and beach‑day snacks. A full‑size washer and dryer add extra convenience, especially for longer stays or families traveling with children.

Outside, enjoy access to the seasonally heated community pool, hot tub, and grilling area, or take a quick walk to the beach to soak up the Florida sunshine. When you’re ready to explore, you’re just minutes from Destin’s best shopping, dining, entertainment, and outdoor activities.

Close to the beach!

The room was very close to the beach, short walking distance. Very clean beach and not crowded for August. Met a lot of nice neighbors out by the pool and was very enjoyable. The room was very cute! Only issue I had was with cleanliness. Bedding and sheets were clean, other items not so much. Reached out to property management who offered a few resolutions to remedy the issue quickly. They were very responsive and professional. Hopefully this issue will be addressed going forward. If so I would definitely revisit this room.

Perfect location

Condo was very clean upon arrival. The kitchen was stocked very well. I really liked the boxes packed with kitchen and bathroom products! I was thankful for the extra trash bags as we had forgot to bring/buy prior to our stay. We did enjoy the convenience of being by the pool; although, other guest did not abide by pool open times most every night (was a bit noisy). My only recommendation would be add a few small throws for the living room and have the housekeepers to bleach the mold from the washer seal. Overall, we really had no true complaints and enjoyed our stay! The kids enjoyed the toy box and we donated a few mesh bags to tote the toys. We’d choose this unit again!

Check in and out was great. We utilized and enjoyed the pool and the gate being right in front of our deck! However, there was dirt on the floor upon arrival and just overall dirty. The washer was moldy and smelled. Furniture could be updated. However, would probably stay again with my family of 5.

My family has been going to Destin for 10 years now every summer. The place we usually stay at was not available for us this year. This place was in the same neighborhood and it did not disappoint us. Room was fantastic will book again. Only thing is wish back door had keypad to lock and unlocked from outside.
