Wonderful stay
Condo was beautiful and listing was accurate. The condo was clean and had everything we needed. It was a short stay but a very nice time. Owner was above expectations with communication. Highly recommend!
We really enjoyed our stay. Location was great, ocean front as pictured. It was nice to just hang out on the balcony taking in the ocean’s waves. Not owners fault, but the elevators were going through maintenance and they kept breaking down, which took us a long time trying to get up and down to the condo.

Favorite Spot in Destin
This is a beautiful resort! The room is also beautiful, orderly, clean, and accommodating. We plan to return to Destin at least once a year and I always like to have a favorite spot to stay in. My daughter and I both love this one!

As advertised
This is a great condo in a great location. You can't beat the view.
The host is awesome with communication as we arrived right after the two hurricanes about expectation and water condition. Our family had the best time at the beach and such perfect location to watch both sunrise and sunset. Our kids love the bunk beds with their own big screens and outlets for the electronics. The boys gave 5 stars and they would love to come back again!
Fantastic property in an excellent location . The property had three pools, two outdoor and one indoor along with multiple hot tubs. The outdoor pools were literally a 60-second walk to the Gulf of Mexico Waters. The location was literally 5 minutes from renting jet skis, pontoon boats and parisailing activities. Beautiful part of the United States

Clean, comfortable and friendly.
The security at the gate were nice. Had personality as well. Not just boring, "yeah, come on in" kind of guys. Front desk folks were also very nice. Room was great! It was clean, beds were comfy. Kids loved the bunk beds. Each bed had its own tv, which they were thrilled about. View was AMAZING! Even saw dolphins out in the ocean from our balcony!! That was exciting. Kitchen had everything we needed. Would definitely stay again. :)

Great View
Great view, responsive host, and perfect size for family of 3-4. I rented it specifically bc of the TVs in the bunkbeds. My daughter wanted to live in the bottom bunk watching cocomelon. I wish it was a bit warmer when we went (obviously not the hosts fault), but would have loved to enjoy the beach/pools more. The pancakery is an easy walk for breakfast, and other restaurants are a fairly close drive. It was my husband’s first visit to the panhandle and now he wants to move there. 😂
We have a family of three, and this unit was perfect! It was roomy enough that we did not feel crowded: we were comfortable lounging on the couch/chair or eating breakfast at the table. We loved the balcony overlooking the beach; it was the perfect height to watch the dolphins playing! Our teen loved the convenience of the electronic hookups in the bunk beds. It was very clean and had plenty of linens. We only ate breakfast and lunch in the condo, but the kitchen has everything you need. I loved the coffee pot! This was an excellent place to stay and convenient to everything in Destin. We had no issues and loved this resort and unit!
Everything went great. We will definitely be back to Destin. Hopefully this unit will be available when we return? The condo was clean and ready for us when we arrived. We arrived in Destin early in the morning and wish we could have checked in earlier. We purchased a soft pillow. The ones there were too hard. We left it and a pack of extra hangers. I am referring someone to you.
This condo is perfect for couples or small families! It was very clean and nicely furnished! The balcony was private with a perfect view of the gulf. We had an amazing time and would definitely recommend!
Our host was welcoming and very quick to respond to our questions. The condo provided everything essential. The resort amenities were fine for our needs.
This unit was perfect for our stay! The location was perfect, as was the resort property. The owner was very responsive for the few minor issues we had, but they were dealt with and not even worth mentioning. My only complaint was that the main hot-tub was not working during our stay which was a bummer, because it was cold when we were there! But, there was another tiny hot-tub we were still able to use. I’d highly recommend this unit, and I would stay here again.
