Beautiful gulf view! We saw the sunrise from the left side of the balcony and the sunset to the right. Everything was very clean and comfortable. The pools are fantastic. Communication with Shelley was great.
We absolutely loved our stay here and already plan on coming back year after year! The location was honestly perfect — close enough to everything we wanted, but far enough away from Destin that we avoided a lot of the heavy traffic and congestion. One of our favorite parts was that there was so much to do without even really leaving the beach area. Great food, entertainment, shops, and the pier were all nearby and made the trip incredibly convenient and relaxing.The views from the unit were some of the best we’ve ever had on a beach trip. Waking up and seeing the water every day was something we genuinely looked forward to. The condo itself was amazing, comfortable, clean, and made it easy to settle in and enjoy the week.There was some traffic at times, but honestly that’s expected for the area and it never once caused us any real issues. It also looks like a new bridge into Fort Walton is being built, which should make things even better in the future. We just followed the locals’ advice on timing and avoided peak travel hours, and everything worked out perfectly.Overall, this was one of our favorite vacations we’ve taken and definitely a place we’ll continue coming back to. Highly recommend

Wonderful accommodations. Very clean. The condo was perfect for us. Easy access to the pool and beach. The amenities were well kept. We had a wonderful time.
This is our second stay here because we love it so much. The condo is super clean and in a perfect location. Whether you love to sit on the beach or on the balcony, you can hear the waves and watch the dolphins. Such a great place to stay. Everything you could want is included

Hi Melissa,
I’m so glad you had a great stay!
I’m so sorry that happened. To clarify, we do provide bath towels for the both bathrooms and a laundry center to wash and dry as needed. It seems there was a miscommunication with my cleaning crew and the 2nd bathroom was missed your stay. If anything should happen like that in the future, please contact your owner or manager so that they can make sure you have everything you need. Sometimes mishaps happen but we are available to make it right. You are no bother ;)
We hope you will come again and thanks for being a great guest!
Our group of 7 had the absolute best week! The condo had everything we needed and the location was amazing. Communication was great and Shelly was super helpful. We can’t wait to come back!
