We enjoyed our stay; it was great the only thing I would add would be the washer and dryer for convenience; and fix the master bedroom toilet because when you flush it runs all day and night. Other than that it was AMAZING!!! Super close to the beach and literally in front of the pool .

I have stayed in several condos on this property and the best offer besides the reasonable price is the location. The property is across the street from the beach and so is the gate access. The condo was clean and spacious and near the pool if that’s your vibe. I also love the activity fun pass great for golfers.

Great, quiet place near the beach!

Pros: The condo was everything we needed for our girls' trip! The neighborhood was quiet. It is walking distance to a private beach entrance. The pool was steps from the room. Check in and checkout was a breeze! We would definitely stay here again! Cons: Seemed like we couldn't get the floors clean. We had to wear socks or shoes while walking around the condo. Also, the cookware needs to be updated.

Great Option for Families

We had a great time in Destin. The house and rooms were very spacious. The property was close to the beach, with private beach access, and all of the shops and food nearby. Rooms had clean sheets on arrival, with LOTS of towels available. I would suggest anyone bring house slippers or flip flops, as the floors are a bit dusty. I’m not saying it wasn’t cleaned when we arrived, just that all the sand somehow gets dragged in each time. We heard from others the same thing, so do yourself a favour and bring slippers! Thank you for hosting our family!

I would be embarrassed to own this property and rent it to vacationers. Property was dirty, no lighting other than lamps. Kitchen was poorly stocked and cabinets were about to fall in on themselves. For the money you spend, you will be disappointed.
