Getaway with old friends
We joined a friend couple in Destin that we have been friends with for 40 years. They are our best friends and Godparents to our son. We moved from the midwest to the east 17 years ago, so we don’t see them regularly like we did when we lived next door. We have talked about getting together for a long time and we finally did it! The place we selected in Destin was absolutely perfect and we had a blast! What a beautiful place to reconnect with old friends! So much to do and, of course, some serious beach time on the cool to the touch sandy beaches. Our vacation was a 10 for sure! Planning for next years trip with our friends already!!!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Enjoyed our visit to the Property with easy access to pool and beach. Tennis courts are an added bonus. Beach was beautiful and the chairs/umbrella allowed us to stay in the shade as the day went on. Condo was updated with nice features, comfortable and clean. View from porch was perfect with the water and sand glowing. Definitely will make a return trip!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: #518 was our home away from home for 5 days-enjoyed every minute of it. The condo included every amenity you would need - the kitchen has a new water purifier that we used daily to fill our water bottles, beautiful quartz counter tops, custom dry bar with wine cooler and every type of needed bar ware, very comfortable king size mattress in the master bedroom, bar height table and chairs on the balcony to comfortably view the beach, read a book, have a drink. Highly recommend. #518 very clean-will book again. The HSRC staff was very helpful with all of our questions/concerns about our stay.

Only issue is for two years our rental was cut short by two weeks. We used to be able to stay until March 11th. Next year we can only stay until Feb. 29th. It would be nice if the owners kept the same end date. Thanks.
