About the host
Hosted by Brent Stromgren
We are Lori and Brent Stromgren and we live in the great state of Texas. We have been blessed to be able to own a condo at the beach and be able to share it with other families. We love coming to Destin any chance we get! We strive to make our guest experiences amazing and memorable so families can create memories for years to come. We would love to host you for your next vacation or getaway!
Why they chose this property
Our daughter was married in the area and we fell in love with Destin. Since then, we knew we wanted to have a condo in Destin where we could not only get away to the beach, but also to share it with other families so they could make memories.
What makes this property unique
Our property is completely renovated and not only has an amazing view of the gulf, but also has amazing amenities like heated pool, hot tub, grilling area, free parking, and amazing people watching from the private balcony.
