Everything was perfect!

This is the perfect place to stay if you don't want to worry about little details. We just had to go to the grocery store for basic foods and everything else was available to use. Very convenient location, amazing view, comfy bed, and great communication. I definitely recommend.

Great place!

The photos and description of the property is accurate. The condo was clean, comfortable, had everything we needed. We love the location of this condo and the corner unit does give a panoramic view. The bed has a very thick memory foam topper and we found it was very comfortable. The property manager is great and makes sure you have enough paper products to get you going. We would stay here again.

Awesome view & location

The condo was exactly like pictured & described. The view was the beautiful & the bed was so comfortable. Appreciated all the extras, like dish detergent, laundry detergent, hand soap & the abundance of hooks for hanging clothing & jackets. The owner really thought of everything. It was convenient to local restaurants as well as ones located in Destin. The only thing I would do is upgrade the sofa pillows (they show some wear). We enjoyed our stay & will definitely stay again if in the area.

Great Place for 2!

This was a great property to stay for the 2 of us! The view is wonderful and we really enjoyed the balcony. We were there during TS Cristobal and with one day to stay indoors, there were lots of books, movies and puzzles available. The kitchen is well equipped and there is beach service, which is awesome! Sarah was very easy to work with and answered lots of questions for me.

Much needed getaway

Great location. I like that it is a smaller condo. The view & balcony were amazing. Sarah is super informative & easy to work with. I like that I had everything I needed in advance! With some rentals in the past I have experienced a delay getting check in information. This was not the case with Sarah & I appreciate that!!

Short stay for ash scattering

The place is very comfortable and clean. The bed was very comfortable! And the kitchen looked well stocked for cooking. It was a bummer that the balcony was boarded, yes, I knew before I went. The weather wasn't the best and I ended up leaving a day earlier because I would have just sat in the condo with no view. I'm sure that I would have loved the condo if the sliding glass doors hadn't been boarded up.
