Wonderful family vacay!

We really enjoyed our stay at The Palms! The property was clean and we had easy access to the wonderful pools. Communication was great and we even got to do an Easter egg hunt! The kids really enjoyed it - there is so much to do for the whole family, and the shuttle was convenient also. Hope to be back soon!

Beautiful grounds

We had a very nice stay at our condo, except the weather was not very cooperative! First snow storm in decades in Florida! The condo was very comfortable and clean, it had everything we needed. The grounds are kept immaculate. Disappointed in by the bistro…they were in the middle of a manager transition.

Perfect

We stayed here for 28 nights in February of 2025. We did the same in 2024 in this same condo. It is a great place to stay. First floor convenience. No stairs and no waiting for an elevator. Patio overlooks beautiful courtyard and pool area with palm trees galore. Easy walk to the pool. Just down the hall and you are there. Condo was clean. Beds were comfortable. Newer appliances. Hosts are the best. Very responsive and very pleasant to work with. Highly recommended!

We had a phenomenal experience staying at the Palms of Destin. It was our first time there and Krystal and Dave were extremely helpful and accommodating throughout our trip. The condo itself was exceptional and everything we could ask for and need to include family games and various items for the pool/beach. I definitely look forward to our next stay there in the future.

A great spot for families! Will be back!!

This was our first time staying at The Palms. We were a little worried we would be disappointed not having an ocean view, but that was not the case and we loved everything about the resort!! The ground floor condo was great for easy access to everything. Our kids were obsessed with the pool and us parents really enjoyed the coffee shop and the roomy gym. Beach access was closer and more convenient than expected so that was great! This was definitely a very family friendly resort which we loved, our kids found new friends to play with everyday! Dave and Krystal were wonderful hosts and had great communication. Everything they provided made this stay even more pleasant, we will definitely be back!!

Girls Trip

Book with Krystal and you will have no regrets. She is an owner who cares greatly about making sure her guests have everything they need for their stay (and then some!). Henderson Beach was beautiful and just a short drive or shuttle ride away. The Palms pool area is very large and relaxing. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Thanks for everything, Krystal!

Family friendly condo!

Our family of 5 had a great stay at this property! Very clean upon arrival and great communication with the hosts. The beds were super comfy and our boys loved the bunk beds with the tv! We had everything we needed for the beach, a short walk from the condo. Although we had some chilly weather, our boys enjoyed the heated pool, hot tub, games in the condo and playing tennis on the courts. We would definitely stay again!
