Reviewer Comments:
The beach was beautiful and the place was great.
We stayed over Memorial Day weekend (myself, husband and 3yo daughter). The location was perfect and we enjoyed being on the top floor for a perfect view. The only thing I would say is the space is pretty outdated compared to others we have visited in this resort. Nothing to necessarily take away from the trip, but little things that either looked old/dingy or even dirty. I love this resort, but this unit wasn't our favorite.
Very clean, management was extremely kind and helpful. Great location, right on the ocean. Pool was kept clean. Rooms very clean and great size. Great view of the ocean. Easy checking and checkout.
We had a wonderful time! Very clean and simple check in process. We also enjoyed the dvd rentals. This was our second year here and we will be back next year!

We checked in on a Tuesday where there were storms coming. We were kept up to date on what to do and where to go in the event things got severe. That was a big comfort to us. The remaining 5 days of our stay were beautiful, Destin, Florida weather and the view of the pool and beach from the 7th floor in this room were Amazing! This property is very clean and well kept up!

I have stayed at MANY hotels in my travels and will have to say the staff were the best I have ever encountered at any location. Always friendly and at my service. Room was more than I expected and was very clean. Loved our stay there. The only reason I wouldn’t stay again is for a better view of the beach and closer walk to the sand. Not a tennis player but did watch a lot of players.

Reviewer Comments:
The front desk staff made it all worth it! What a group of winners. They are so kind & helpful at every turn. They should make commission. The umbrella staff was also amazing, we loved having that service available & included with our room. All of the staff onsite was helpful & nice. The staff & location made our vacation a 10! (Go Rachel!)
I cannot tell you how WONDERFUL the staff are at this facility. Polite, friendly gracious everyone we came in contact with from the staff to the owners. People were top notch. The facility itself is an older facility thus was more affordable. I would recommend some updates to the condo itself. The bed is terrible. Worn out and you roll to the middle. We just laughed about it but by the end of the week both had back problems. The couch in the lR is the same. You fall to the middle. The bathroom is ONLY for one person at a time and the doors make it difficult to use the bathroom. We honestly were there for the beach so it served it purpose. It just could use some updates. Kitchen was great and newly updated Had everything we needed. And again the staff…FABULOUS
Online info states we have to bring toliet paper, paper towels trash bags, etc and yet those were provided!. May want to update your info to Match! Shower/Tub is pretty dated. Took off all jewelry because if anything dropped down the drain it would have been gone. Big hole. Otherwise kitchen was great and view was spectacular!

We stayed in unit 709. The unit didn't feel clean. It needs alot of updating and maintenance. The bathroom needs a complete update. The baseboards are dirty and needs to be painted. The carpet in the bedroom felt damp. You could only take a 6 min shower before the water turned cold.Was very disappointed with our stay. Will not be back.

We came in for a quick 5 night stay and we were not disappointed! Our room (709) looked exactly like the photos. It was equipped wit everything that it promised. ( hair dryer, iron, extra pillows). We were not disappointed. The front desk staff were all very polite and super helpful. A few small details for new visitors..... the couch is a pull out sofa and seems to have “settled”. We found sitting on it quite uncomfortable- but we didn’t come to sit on the couch. We also did not rent a car for the short trip just to make it a bit more budget friendly. There is only one restaurant within walking distance (1/2 mile ish) so there is nothing nearby ....so it’s not your normal walking friendly beach stay.

Liked: Check-in, communication, location
Disliked: Cleanliness
Nice location could us updating unit needed deep clean.
The picture made the unit look nicer than it was. It needed deep cleaned and updated and everything needs painted. The door was a mess, bathroom sink didnt drain. Luckily we were there for the weather and beach which were both fantastic. Was a good trip but unfortunately the unit was not as it appears in pictures. Elevators could use some work other than that the facility, building and people were nice.
The view is perfect!!!!! It stated that it was newly renovated-I think it applied 2 the kitchen only. The walls really needed to be painted bad. Marks just about on every wall. there is hole in the kitchen floor. The table is is pushed against the wall so you can only use 2 chairs. BRING YOUR OWN ICE. We were there a week & we only got maybe 20 ice cubes. Make sure you bring all beach necessities if you don't get beach service.
Overall our experience was very nice. Like I said just the little things that go along way.
Again the VIIEW is top notch.

Very close to everything Destin has to offer!! VeryClean and had a great view!!
The location of the property, staff and having beach chair service was great. The unit we stayed in was disappointing. It needs repairs and updating. Door keypad would not work so we had to use a key, which just a pain to keep up with. Threshold at the door is black/ rotting. Carpet and tile and in poor condition, ceiling needs to be repaired and furniture, bedding/ mattress were not very comfortable. Unfortunately, there were renovations being completed in other units while we were there so no quiet time before 5pm. I would consider another unit in the property, but would not stay at 709 again.

Reviewer Comments:
The unit was clean and has good amenities like coffee pots and cooking tools. Beautiful views, even saw a few dolphins in the ocean. Bed was comfortable. Like the cable and internet. Everything was up to our standard except for these few items listed below. Would like to have some coffee already placed in the kitchen like normal hotel would supply. It was a little dated with old travel guides and folder about the unit, and the apartment require minor fixtures replacement. It would be nice to have shampoo and bath soap. We almost ran out of toilet paper but probably could ask for more at the counter. The balcony have a step that is a tripping hazard. Overall,we are satisfied with our stay and would like to come back again during warmer season.
