Amazing first family trip!

Shelly was so great and answered quickly to every question we had. She made it so easy for us. This was our first trip to Destin. The wagon was packed and ready for us to go! Everything was clean and nice. Great location! The pool was kid friendly and our kids loved it. The walk to the beach was easy and it was such a well kept premise all around. We would stay again and recommend to our friends and family.

Destin Dreams was exactly as described. It is well kept and just like the photos. Easy access to everything, including, parking, pool and of course the beach. The condo had everything we needed. The beach chairs, beach umbrella, beach towels, and beach cooler were a bonus and we used them everyday. We are already planning our next trip back here. Thank you Shelly and Tony!
