This was the 2nd year in a row staying in this condo. Absolutely loved it! Wevare a family of 4 - the space was perfect. The view is beautiful!For anyone staying in future, I strongly recommend arriving to the condo first before shopping, so you get everything for your stay. The condo has essentials (pots, pans, utensils, plates, bowls, towels).

This was our first trip to Destin and it did not disappoint. Thank you for sharing your beautiful home. The view was better than the pictures. The condo was bright, clean, and welcoming.

We had a wonderful time. Shuttle or walk to the beach is super easy. The only thing was the check out process was confusing- their portal had one list of instructions and they sent a text, that I didn’t get until after we checked out, with different instructions. Hopefully we don’t get charged extra for not doing everything on their list.
Otherwise it was great. Highly recommend.

Thank you for choosing Compass Resorts. Have a great day!
Overall very positive experience, beaches are gorgeous. The resort is close to beach, restaurants, and shoppings. One staff is really sweet, and helpful. The check out is 10 am, it is kind a little too early for us just start the daytime saving. The unit said to sleep 6 people, but it is actually suit for 2 adults and 2 small kids. The chair in the master bedroom is peeling off, and the TVs may need some update. The wifi speed is only < 1M byte. We did not use the pools, but they look great.

Rented property to celebrate a birthday. Location is great. However the room was not up to par in our books. We have done many rentals and have timeshares. But this one was really out dated with electric/appliances issues. Ice dispenser not working. Wall outlet not work. The living room and kitchen had animal smell which the house keeping came the following afternoon to spray some deodorizer but had 2 people who were highly allergic to animals. Middle of night we had to try to find a place that was open to get medicine and that was a hassle after a long drive. The balcony door was extremely hard to close especially the door from the main bedroom. There are kitchen utensils but they are all worn out and some dishes and silverware was dirty. But the property itself was very well kept and staff was friendly. I would rent here but may not be this unit.

June 2024 Update - This condo has been renovated and all issues addressed.
We liked the property. The food at the Bistro was good and the pool was great for kids. Our room worked ok. Says its sleeps 6 but that would be very tight.
Frustrating things…
1. Not enough lounge chairs at the pool. Plenty of space for them, just not enough of them.
2. Van to the beach was not running a couple of days. Would have been nice if there would have been a sign on it so we didn’t stand there waiting for nothing. (BTW public beach area available for resort across the street was very very small.)
3. We had probably 10 remotes in our room. Would have been nice for them to have the right remotes for the right tvs in the right rooms and get rid of the rest. We never found the one needed for the master.
4. Lighting in master was not great and the light on the ceiling fan didn’t work.
Not sure if I would stay here again. I would definitely look at other options first, mostly because of the beach situation.

Limpio y las camas muy cómodas . Usan mucho desinfectante con olor y hasta la nevera y microondas tenía olor a desinfectante, eso no es bueno para colocar comida o calentar algo para comer en el microondas. Todo lo demás, limpio y agradable para descansar.
