Perfect Experience

Our stay here was fabulous. Everything was so clean and the staff was great! It was so convenient to be able to rent chairs at the beach and have access to a restaurant at the property along with a place to get iced coffee or quite literally anything else we may have needed for our stay or beach day, at the little beach store downstairs. Not a far drive from countless restaurants. This place was great. Will be back!

1516 was an amazing experience for my husband and I. We came to Destin for our honeymoon and this room did not disappoint. There is not a washer and dryer in the room but instead on each floor for everyone to use. The view is amazing and honestly better than the pictures listed. The bed is extremely comfortable. Room was clean and smelled good when we walked in. There were plenty of towels provided to use in the room. The water pressure was great. Really no complaints. I did reach out to contact our host to add on an extra day and the communication was amazing and they got back to me immediately.

While the location and property was very busy, the room was lovely! Quiet and we loved the balcony and views. The bed was the most comfortable that we’ve slept in in any rental property we’ve ever stayed at. Having 1.5 baths was very nice, too! The kitchen was well stocked with things you might need to cook, however with the close proximity to such great seafood places, we did not cook in the condo. I do hate that you have to pay for chairs/umbrella separately and they are not included in the price. But that is not the fault of the host. Overall, we had a lovely trip and enjoyed our time there.

The Bed was so comfy

So to be brutally honest, this wasn’t my favorite place to stay in Destin. The place is huge and therefore felt very busy all the time. Plus, having to pay separately for chairs and umbrella kinda sucked (the other two places I’ve stayed in the area it was included). It was close to lots of Destin attractions/dining though, so that was nice. Specifically though, our room was cute and well maintained. The view was nice. The balcony was lovely. The kitchen was stocked with all the essentials. And the bed was the most comfortable in any vacation rental we’ve ever stayed at! Having one and a half baths was really nice, too!

Electrical in unit

I am an electrician...... Lamp closets to back sliding door flickers really bad. I unplugged it. It is dangerous. The light bulb socket looks broken.Lighted switch for foyer light flickers. needs changed out. Not working properlyI would have an electrician install some USB devices on kitchen counter and by lamp in bedroom. It's the new style and future vacationers would love this application.

Nice Condo with a great view

The condos location was wonderful with a great view. The balcony is big enough to sit and enjoy your morning coffee with a great view of the beach and water. You can see dolphins from the balcony which is nice and fun. The condo itself is a decent size. The ceilings are low. The furniture is hit or miss. The dining table is something probably picked up from a second hand store that wobbles and feels like it will fall apart. The sofa was comfortable. The master bed was comfortable enough. The shower didn’t drain properly but the service crew came up the next day to fix it and they did. This was very comforting to have people on site to address any issues. The kitchen was clean. The appliances functioned. The condo is on the 15th floor and it may be due to the construction but there is no AC in the hallways or elevator. This wasn’t a huge deal bc went in July expecting to sweat. The parking. If you aren’t back to the condo right after dinner, you will be parking across the busy highway and down a little ways. Not a HUGE deal but something to be aware of. This condo has some potential to be quite comfortable and charming. A little personality and nicer finishes would have made me want to rent this condo everytime we come to Destin.
