It was perfect for a couple! There's a 2 burner stove top but no oven. We didn't plan to cook anyway. We ate breakfast & lunch in the room. It didn't have much silverware. I think it only had 2 small spoons along with 4 forks & knives. We've stayed at that resort before. We liked the lazy river after a day at ths beach. It's great having beach service included! Very short walk to the beach.

It was clean. The location was great. Several easy repairs could be made. The A/C not working when we arrived was pretty bad. We reported it the afternoon of arrival (tried to give it time to cool) called again the next morning, then maintenance finally arrived around 11 the next day & fixed the air. The actual resort, location, & cleanliness of the unit were great though.

Great Location!

We would definitely stay at this resort again! The condo was clean and a short walk to the beach. There’s only one condo next door then none for several miles so it’s easy to walk down and feel like you’re on a private beach! Great for a weekend getaway! We especially loved being able to walk down and enjoy restaurants just a quick walk down the beach and only a 5 minute drive to the Margaritaville area in Destin.

Great location!

Very clean condo! Several pools to choose from. The room is on the same floor as the air walk that takes you back and forth to lazy river and beachside. Very convenient! Also, resort is right next to the boardwalk where your will find several beach front restaurants and shops! Awesome place to take the family!

Great location between Destin and Ft Walton Beach. Room was ok, a few issues.

Great location between Destin & Ft Walton Beach. Very short walk to beach from room, or use pedestrian bridge to cross the street to the Lazy River pool and river waterway area. Room was ok. Did not appear that it gets used much. Some of the shower towels were dirty / stained, room had a musty odor, some mold / mildew in the shower, kitchen and back side of porch curtains. Had a major leak under the sink, but maintenance was quick to respond and fix. All and all still a pretty good stay!
