This property was amazing!!! My family has be going to Destin area for 8 years now and this was one of the cleanest condos we have been too.The other ones have not been dirty or bad at all. I was just amazed at how there was no sand anywhere upon arrival even on the back porch. The beach was an easy walk from the room and was not crowded at all. There where no restaurants with in walking distance witch would have been nice but not a deal breaker. There was plenty within a short drive. Again I believe this is worth it to have a less busy beach.

Loved everything about the HRSC. Was very quiet except for one family that seemed to think everyone would like their music, which we did not, nor how loud they played it. One of the maintenance guys also had to tell them that they were not allowed to drink their drinks in the pool. Other than that, it was fabulous.
