The view was amazing and the huge porch with the many seating options was perfect. We enjoyed watching the waves, boats and the many dolphins that swam back and forth all day long. The kitchen was well stocked and the bar area with the built in ice maker was a welcome treat. The furnishings, decor and artwork were perfect for a beach retreat. The staff were all friendly and helpful and our host answered all of our messages and questions quickly. We especially loved Daniel and Mandy who set up our chairs and umbrellas daily and were always happy to offer tips on dining, shopping and excursions. The closet outside the front door was the perfect place to store our beach gear and also held an assortment of chairs and beach toys for our enjoyment. We can't wait to come back!Thank you for the awesome experience!

Wonderful place to stay. My favorite part was the one whole side of the place was nothing but windows and huge balcony! Everything you could need was provided in the room, great to have the two chair beach service included! Friendly hosts and easy to have questions answered. Easy to get to just about anywhere you want to go, food and fun minutes down the road. Would love to come back.

I can’t say enough great things about this condo! From the moment we arrived, everything exceeded our expectations. The view was absolutely stunning. We even saw dolphins every day from the balcony, which was a highlight of our trip. The condo itself was incredibly comfortable and well-equipped. The kitchen had everything we needed, the beds were very comfortable, and it truly felt like a home away from home. We especially loved the heated pool and the beach chair service, which made our beach days so easy and relaxing. The location was also perfect and close to grocery stores and anything else we needed. The staff really stood out as well - both the woman at the beach chair service and the woma at the gate were so friendly and welcoming. We did have a small hiccup with the door on the first day, but management handled it immediately and were incredibly kind and responsive. Overall, this was a fantastic stay, and we would absolutely come back again!

Fall in Destin is beautiful and I always enjoy being there that time of year. We love this unit---it is beautiful, very clean, and well equipped.
