The host was very good to deal with, and the property was as described. It's a great spot in Destin, the beaches are really nice. Onsite the property has alot to offer and the staff was friendly. It's a good spot we will probably come back too.
We absolutely loved staying at this property. The views are beautiful. You will not regret it. Just book it, and thank me later! Tufan was a great host and assisted me along the way with any questions that I had. He was always prompt responding . My husband and I really enjoyed our 5 night stay at this beautiful property.
Tufan communicated with us throughout the stay. The condo was beautiful and clean just like the photos. The view is absolutely breathtaking and you couldn’t ask for more. Dolphins every morning with your coffee. I loved it so much I cried when we left. Will definitely be going back.
Property was very clean, everything was exactly described. Host communicated well and provided options for things to do. Absolutely loved the view it’s truly beachfront!!! Perfect location from elevators. Very very clean. Kitchen had everything you need, we didn’t cook or anything but if you want to the kitchen is fully stocked including a blender and toaster as well. We will definately be coming back. Great amenities, great stay!!

About the host
Hosted by Tufan Beyatli
We love beach vacations. Growing up in Cyprus, I always thought nothing could compare to the salty waters of the Mediterranean and the beautiful sandy beaches I grew up with. Then I discovered the turquoise waters and sugar-white beaches of Destin, Florida, and fell in love at first sight. That love for Destin is what inspired us to buy our first beach condo there. Today, we own several condos throughout the Destin area, which we visit regularly as a family and personally manage as vacation rentals. We have seven units at Pelican Beach Resort, as well as properties at Waterscape, Majestic Sun at Seascape Resort, and Luau, Bahia, Elation, and Grand Sandestin at Sandestin Resort. All of our condos are located close to the beach and are thoughtfully updated and maintained. No matter which property you choose, you can expect the same great service, attention to detail, and care that we put into every one of our vacation homes. We hope you’ll enjoy Destin and its beautiful beaches as much as our family does!
