The chair rental company makes it so you cannot sit in your personal chairs anywhere but behind the rentals, so because we didn’t pay extra to rent their chairs and brought our own our view consisted of over a hundred rental chairs and umbrellas.

Above pool and near tiki hut so it was always very loud. Tiki hut had loud blaring music all day. Washer\dryer unit worked very poorly and took the entire night to dry one load of towels. White floor rug was VERY dirty. Furniture didn’t look old but was generously used. We will never come here again.

Conveniently located and clean, mostly, the master bath shower curtain needs changing so we didn’t use it. Beach bar service was great! Good restaurants nearby!

Great location and pools. Beach water was clear and glassy. Elevators were a bit congested and one was out of order causing delays, but the cafe was on point as well.

Peggy and David were wonderful to work with. We loved the view and the great location. Bunk beds were a little small for teenage boys, but they still worked. Quiet building which is always nice when on vacation.

Only thing I loved was the location of this rental. Everything was dirty. The patio furniture is completely rusted! The washer/dry combo is extremely hard to use and also had old clumps of hair and other disgusting stuff around rubber rim inside washer. The master bath that is far from master had black stuff coming out the tub drain as I was trying to fill the tub for my toddler to bathe. Couldn’t wait to go home! Thankful for the beach to be so close and extremely convenient. Staff as pleasant. Would be nice to owner to give this condo some TLC

Loved our stay!

This place was just as described! It was very nice, comfortable, charming decor and extremely clean. Kitchen had everything we needed. The balcony was perfect for slow mornings w/ coffee and pretty views. It was located on the second floor, so we were able take the stairs & not have to wait for the elevator each time we went somewhere. The beach is close and beautiful. We would definitely stay here again when we return to Destin!

We had a terrific stay. Only complaint was other tenants that were loud in the hallways outside but it is because there were a bunch of teenagers there for a baseball tournament. The unit was fantastic.

Overall we had a good experience. There were problems with the elevators. If we would have been on an upper floor this would have caused some heartache, but this unit was on the 2nd floor so we used the stairs to avoid long elevator delays. The washer/ dryer machine in this unit was not great. It did the job, just not very well. There were no beach items for use in this unit. No chairs, towels, umbrella which would have been nice to have. The only other item missing was a pair of scissors. Otherwise the bed was comfortable the ac worked very well. We really liked being on the 2nd floor. Very convenient.

We really enjoyed our stay

The property was as advertised. The condo was clean and comfortable. We really liked that it was on the second floor, so access to the beach was just down one set of stairs, which kept us from having to use the elevator everytime we took our things to the beach. Highly recommend this rental.

Great location and modern unit

We enjoyed the convenient location of this condo, and being on the second floor was a big plus since we did not have to wait on elevators. I also appreciated that the unit was updated and modern, which made our stay more comfortable.However, there were a few downsides. The condo was very dusty under the furniture and definitely in need of a deep clean. Another issue was the lack of communication. Maintenance personnel showed up unexpectedly to work inside the condo without any prior notice. I asked them to come back later, but when I messaged the host to confirm if work was scheduled, I never received a response. This made me feel very uncomfortable, especially since we were not informed about anyone entering the unit during our stay.
