Great vacation spot!

Very family friendly, close to everything, great pools and beautiful beach! Was definitely one of the cleanest rentals we've stayed in. I probably wouldn't recommend this resort if you are looking for a party spot as the resort is pretty strict about the rules. But we actually appreciated that as we went with two kids under 8 over spring break and weren't worried about having to deal with the typical spring break scene and had a great time! We will definitely be back!

Great Condo and great location

My family of four spent the week here. The condo was very cute and in a really great location. It’s right above the pool, so if you’re on the balcony it’s really noisy. The good thing is that the sliding door sound proof, so there’s no noise inside of the condo. The cafe downstairs has wonderful customer service and food. Can’t wait to return next year!

We loved our stay. It was our third year at this property and this was the nicest condo we have stayed at. Very bright, updated and clean. The bunk beds with TVs were a hit with my two young sons. The main bedroom mattress was very comfortable. The kitchen had everything we needed. Can’t wait to stay here again next year!

Beautiful condo right in the middle of all there is to do at Destin beach.

This is a very nice condo perfect for a family get away. Fully stocked kitchen with cooking and eating utensils makes it easy to make and eat all meals in your room. It has a very nice balcony that is right at the edge of the beach and allows you to see for long ways down the beach both directions. There is also a bunk bed built into the wall in the hall that my son absolutely loved. Overall it was a very good experience and we cannot wait to plan our next trip to destin beach!

Dude Trip

I brought my two sons here for a boys weekend. I chose this unit for its awesome built in bunk beds with tv screens and quick beach access. The pool with the waterfall became shaded about 2pm so that was terrific after they got tired of being out in the sun all morning. Great location. We walked to the water park and putt putt across the street and had a quick drive to go karts, the harbor, and Fud Puckers. They had a great time and said they liked it better than the other places we have been on the Gulf!

Only 1 thing really caused my to say that’s terrible!

The condo we stayed in was perfect! Especially since the ocean was right outside our window, unlike when you go to the beach and can’t see the beach at all. The expensive beach chairs blocked every possible view of the water! I hated that!

The condo was wonderful! It was comfortable, super cute, and had everything we needed to feel at home. Kitchen was well stocked. The bunk beds with their own TVs were a huge hit with the kids. Teresa was very responsive and easy to work with. They resort was nice, our boys loved the pools. I was not a huge fan of the beach service, but it was not a deal breaker. We still really enjoyed the beach. Would definitely stay in this condo again. Thanks!!

Lovely Experience

We had such a wonderful family beach vacation! We traveled here with our 6 and 8 year old kids. It was the perfect size for us. Comfy beds and couch. Great view. Right next to the elevator. Reserve your beach chairs early. Having front row chairs really improved our beach experience and you can’t put personal chairs in front of the reserved ones. We did have some issues with rowdiness around the pool and loud music, but honestly, that’s what we expected for Destin. We would absolutely come back to this exact spot again!

Great condo! No disappointments

Everything was exactly as pictured. The unit was exceptionally clean and comfortable. The view is amazing from the 5th floor-high enough to see everything but low enough you feel like you’re basically set up on the beach. The kitchen was well equipped and lacked for nothing. The beds are so comfortable this was the first vacation we had in a while I didn’t immediately jump into my own bed when we got home and say Ahhh! The resort location is great-near everything and set up for easy parking and moving around. Overall, no negatives to say at all. The owners are very responsive and you can tell just wonderful, caring people. Will definitely consider returning next year.

Wonderful!

The condo was very comfortable. The view is amazing. There is a walk-in pool and another hot tub being built right below the balcony. It’s going to be an amazing view as well. Owner was very quick to respond to messages and was very helpful. Condo is directly off of the elevator, so it was super convenient. Although it did not have a washer/dryer, the laundry room on the floor was right across the hall, which was nice. Make sure to book on-site beach chairs when you reserve condo because first row chairs book up way in advance, and they are strict on more than 2 personal beach chairs per group being in front of resort chairs. Overall, LOVED it.
