About this property

We have two units side by side. Check both out. Unit 1815 is Vrbo property number 1013753 unit 1814 is property number 1945753. Same floor plan and views in both units and Chris is the owner so you know it’s nice and you’ll get the best service ever.

This spacious and luxurious one bedroom beach front condo at Destin's fabulous SunDestin Beach Resort which is right on the beach. The condo sleeps 5 and has the most amazing full views of the Gulf of Mexico as well as a nice city view from both the living room and the master bedroom! From your private balcony, gaze at the dolphins in the crystal clear waters of the gulf, the white sand beach or because of its slight western angle, even the action of the city! It has the best of all three worlds!

The western angle provides more privacy than other units and eliminates any noise from the pool or kids play area so that you can have the most peaceful private stay that only a penthouse can offer. There's plenty of space and seating in the living room with a full sized sofa bed couch that is extremely comfortable due to having an actual inner spring queen mattress with foam that sleeps like a regular queen bed. Living room is very comfortable for watching the flat screen TV or DVD player for movies or just taking in the beautiful views of the ocean while sitting. It also a has a nice dining area with table and chairs.

The kitchen is beautifully-appointed with all the needed appliances, large counter top and fully equipped with everything needed to cook a family meal. It also has a window that overlooks the city and the bay!

Wake up to the same gorgeous views right from your master bedroom. Its ocean front as well with its own private balcony access! It has a KING bed, and a twin roll away bed in the closet for an extra person, private bath with its own closet, full sized closet with a box fan, iron and board, private sliding doors to the balcony, flat screen TV and alarm clock.

The balcony is very large, has a table and two chairs and the AC unit is NOT on the balcony to disturb you like other units! Another bonus!

SunDestin’s extra amenities: Outdoor Tiki Bar, Fitness Center with a Hot Tub, Sauna & Steam room, Outdoor courtyard with BBQ grills, indoor and outdoor pools and kids water playground. The resort offers an on-site convenience store and Restaurant

At SunDestin, you will be within walking distance to restaurants, shops, Big Kahuna Waterpark and many other area attractions.

Great Place/Excellent Owner

Our family enjoyed our stay at the condo this week. It was clean and perfect for our needs. The owner was super communicative, but not overbearing. He responded quickly and made the process very enjoyable. We will definitely plan to book this condo again for our next trip to Destin!

Perfect beachfront getaway!

My husband and I celebrated our 25th wedding anniversary and the owner was the best! He let us check in several hours early which we greatly appreciated and anytime I messaged he texted back immediately! Very easy to work with and check in and out was a breeze! Much easier than most places I’ve rented from! We loved the balcony overlooking the ocean and the sunsets!! We appreciated the snacks, wine and even a few cold drinks in the fridge when we arrived! The unit was clean and the air was nice and cold and the master bedroom mattress was very comfortable. We hope to stay again sometime! Thanks for everything Chris!

Anniversary Get Away

My wife wanted to go to a tropical location but we didn't have the time. The beaches in Destin gave her the tropical experience. The water color is amazing and so clear. The white sand beaches were cool on my feet and no shells to step on. We have gone to the Jersey Shore and OCMD our whole lives but now we will think about heading back to Destin for future beach trips. The view from the 18th floor penthouse balcony was awesome. We made our own meals a few times and sat on the balcony and took it on in. The condo was clean and had everything we needed. and the location was perfect. It is close to the elevator so we were able to be on the beach in about a minute from leaving our front door. We spent 1 night at HarborWalk(short Uber ride) and we also went to dinner at the Back Porch which was a short walk from the condo but most of the time was spent relaxing on the beach at SunDestin. Chris was a great host and responds to messages within seconds. We highly recommend staying at this condo or any others that Chris owns.

Beautiful view! Exceptionally clean! Accurate description!

We stayed for 10 days. Steps to the beach! Beautiful sunsets! Nice and quiet location in the complex. The condo was exceptionally clean, close to restaurants, shopping, whatever you want. Chris was awesome with communication. Nic bottle of wine and welcome basket on the counter for us. The kitchen was very well stocked with appliances, cookware. Extra linens. Bed was comfortable. We enjoyed our stay and will define back. We have stayed in this complex before. This condo was way above and beyond our last ones.

Perfect location, excellent view, best communication with owner

This was a perfect get away trip. Condo is in the best location; right on the beach and in the middle of Destin's activities and restaurants with a grocery store close by. There's also a small convient store and restaurant right in the building. The host was the best I have ever dealt with. Chris was very attentive, making sure we had everything we needed and answered all of our questions immediatley. It was like having a best friend making sure we were taken care of. The condo itself was very clean and had everything we needed. The top floor view was awesome! You get a clear view down the beach and the city. We loved going out at night and looking at the city lights. You can actually see pretty much everything from the balcony including parts of the harbor. I do recommend mimosas and coffee in the morning on the balcony. And dont forget to bring your binocculars to watch the dolphins play.

Amazing stay!

We were excited about our first trip to Destin, and this condo was the icing on the cake! When we first stepped into the condo, we were blown away!! It was spotless, so cozy and inviting...the decor, so spacious and those views! INCREDIBLE!!! The property manager went above and beyond to make us feel so welcome and at home. My husband and I are very particular, and this place definitely impressed both of us. We especially loved the balcony area, with the nice patio chairs...coffee in the morning overlooking that beautiful Destin beach...what's not to love?! The property manager was super easy to work with... would definitely recommend!! If we could give more that 5 stars, we certainly would. Can't wait to go back!

About the host

Hosted by Chris Graham

The owner Chris is amazing and always available to communicate with 24/7. He has been renting his beautiful condos for many years and has tons of repeat guests returning every year so get an early start on your vacation dates because they book up fast. He is quick to respond to any request or question. He owns penthouse units 1814 (vrbo number 1945753) and 1815 (vrbo number 1013753) at the beautiful SunDestin Beach Resort and is involved with every aspect of his rentals. He manages the properties personally so you won’t ever have to deal with any rude front desk property management employees or time share harassments. He is obsessed with neatness and cleanliness. He has almost 100% 5 star ratings and is a Premier Partner with VRBO. Chris takes care of his guests from the moment they inquire about his properties until the time they get back home to ensure you had a wonderful stay. Just read all his reviews and you’ll be a repeat guest like most others. You can see both condos at the following address: www.vrbo.com/1013753 and www.vrbo.com/1945753

Why they chose this property

This property is extremely well kept and always super clean. Decorated beautifully with a Destin beach vibe and up to date. It’s on the Penthouse level 18th floor on the top so it is super private and quiet with breath taking views of the beach, ocean and city unlike all other units in the building.

What makes this property unique

What is amazingly unique about both condos is that the balcony sits at a slight western angle giving it unlimited full views of the city lights and action as well as the entire beach and ocean as far as you can see, not just the portion directly in front of you like other units. This means that you don't have to walk out onto the balcony in order to see the water and the beach. You have amazing views from the living room AND the master bedroom since the bedroom is not positioned back deep inside by the front door. Both the 1814 unit (vrbo listing 1945753) and the 1815 unit (vrbo listing 1013753) have the same exact views and floor plan.
