Beautiful views, perfect location

This condo met all our needs. The view from the deck was amazing. It was wonderful to just open up the doors and listen to the crashing surf. The beautiful white sand beach was amazing and we loved the location. We enjoyed our time immensely. Thank you for sharing your home with us.

Beautiful

We absolutely loved this place. The view was beautiful, it was just enough far away from the city, but still was close to plenty of places. We were there when Helene came through, but luckily we just had some high wind gusts. 10/10 would definitely book this location again!

Dream Trip

Beautiful condo, roomy living area, comfortable bed, fabulous view, chairs and umbrella included, easy access to beach, just perfect! Note: There are stairs to the third floor - no elevator - but the climb is not difficult for most. Would definitely recommend!

Beach time

Hubs and I came to just chill for a week, nothing planned. Condo is in a safe area with a beautiful beach front balcony. We spent evenings sitting outside listening to the waves. Property managers were quick to respond to anything we needed. Location is close to restaurants and a short drive to Destin. Perfect for a couple or small family.

Just as good second time around

We stayed at this complex due to a pleasurable stay two years ago. As I thumbed thru the guest book, I found my text from two years ago. We stayed in same unit and didnt realize it! Still just as nice. Perfect for a getaway for two. Nothing negative about the stay at all.

Small but Nice!

First, I should tell you there is NO elevator so take heed if you cannot climb 3 flights of stairs. But if you can, it is a great condo. We enjoyed it very much! The location is perfect, we try to always stay in this area. You simply walk down the stairs, just around the building and there is the beach! Wonderful! It was very clean, had a fully stocked kitchen, great wifi, very comfy bed. Only 1 bedroom with small bathrooms but it was just perfect for our needs. We will stay again.

The view was amazing and we loved having our own chairs at the beach. The property is super close so the walk across the sand was very short. My only complaint or request would be for more rugs in the condo. It's impossible to get cleaned from the sand and then it was just being tracked in. We went to great links to keep the sand out but it was very hard without proper floor coverings.

This condo is more beautiful in person. Perfectly decorated and has everything you need for your stay. The only thing that wasnt fabulous is no elevator, but that just gave us time to get our steps in for the day. Its far enough down the road to be out of the chaos, but close enough to stores that we didnt have to drive too far. This is by far my husbands and myselfs new "US" place to stay. We will be back soon!!!

We liked the fact that it is only 7-10 minutes to all Destin has to offer; yet, when at the property you have direct access to the beautiful gulf with ocean front view in all its splendor, with no noise of the busy streets, just the wonderful sound of the waves... would go back in a heartbeat!!

Easy to find and dedicated parking. The stairs are an easy climb. Stocked with lots of gadgets so you have the comforts of home when you’re inside. Beach facing so the view can’t be beat and the balcony is a delight.

Love this condo!

This was our 2nd time staying in this condo, and the 4th time staying in one owned by this owner. Sarah cares about her properties and it shows. Everything was clean, working properly, fully stocked, and enjoyable. The bed and pillows are SO comfy! It's the perfect size condo for mine and my husband's anniversary weekend. The beach service is awesome and you're only a few steps away from the sand! I will continue to book this condo year after year!

Nice vacation stay.

Overall its a great location. The beach is a short walk away. The actual building itself though is older and needs an update. The inside of the condo was nice and clean though. While we were there the majority of the structure was being held up by metal poles on each floor. Made it seem a little uneasy. Also there is no elevator so it can be a haul to get your things upstairs.
