We had a wonderful stay in Destin ant this property. Everything was extremely clean, well-maintained, and exactly as pictured in the listing, which made the experience even better. One of our favorite parts was the convenience of being so close to the beach it made everything easy and relaxing.We also really appreciated the thoughtful starter items that were provided, such as detergent, dish soap, and toiletries. Those small details made our stay much more comfortable and showed great hospitality. Overall, we had a great experience and would definitely recommend this place to others visiting Destin. We hope to return next year!

It was lovely

A perfect location to the beach, restaurants and shopping. Has everything you need including towels and beach chairs which is a nice touch. The ladder for the top bunk was a little tricky for my 4 year old but we managed and she loved sleeping there! Mary-Catherine is extremely attentive and easy to get in touch with which was very nice!! Cute little place!

Super Clean

We absolutely loved staying here. There was plenty of parking and the pool was super close. 3 minute walk to the beach. Everything was super clean the bed and bunks were very comfortable. It was a nice quiet place to stay. Only thing I would suggest is a light on the steps going upstairs. But that may be for maintenance of the building. Not sure. Will absolutely stay here again!

Great beach location

Very nice condo unit with two beach views from the balcony. Heated pool a plus for spring visit. Excellent location with beach access directly across from the unit. A huge plus is that by walking a couple hundred yards down the beach gets you to the state park which is a mile long stretch of uncrowded beach. Be advised that the Destin resorts are very aggressive with roping off their stretch of the beach leaving only a narrow strip along the water for the public to walk by getting to the state park beach you can set up and do whatever you want.

Family Vacation

We had such a wonderful time at Mermaid Pointe! The condo is beautiful and decorated so pretty! We stayed with our 3 kids ages 2-9 and it was perfect! The walk to the beach is short and easy! The pool was so nice and never crowded! We enjoyed walking to Camille’s to get coffee and breakfast! Crystal Beach is a beautiful area, very family friendly and quiet! Mary Catherine was so nice and easy to contact! There are so many sand toys and beach chairs to use which was so awesome! There is also a nice view of the ocean from the balcony! We will definitely be back, we love Destin so much!

Response from VrboOwner on 21 March 2020
This was our first non-5 star review, which was bound to happen at some point because, although we try, it is impossible to please everyone. We have taken your feedback to make everything better for following guests. I wish you could have expressed your concerns to me on your first night instead of your last night, because I would have taken care of it immediately. Although I saw your pictures, I would not characterize the house or fridge as “full” of hair. There was a strand on the back of the basin of the toilet, in the corner of the window behind the blinds, and stuck to the Brita filter in the fridge (which, although I thought was a nice extra amenity, we have since gotten rid of, due to your complaint). We have fixed all of those issues. Unfortunately, you also admittedly violated our house rule of no smoking on the porch and, although you said your husband had smoked cigars, the whole condo smelled like marijuana (as identified by multiple members of our cleaning crew), which was a HUGE concern, especially since our next guests had small children. Thankfully, our cleaning crew worked tirelessly to make sure the condo was smelling fresh again for the following guests. Our goal is to keep our 5 star review streak going and happy guests coming back— always room for improvement and we have done just that, thanks to your feedback.
