Spring Break 2025

We have stayed in Destin the last 4 years. The location of this condo is in a great spot. Right across the street from the beach, a park a couple blocks away, pool and hot tub onsite, and in a family friendly area. The condo was clean with laundry available in the unit. There were a couple issues but none of those were concerns. The property manager fixed those issues and was prompt when I messaged or called. We will definitely consider this on our next stay in Destin.

Great place across from the beach access

The condo was clean and comfortable. Great space to relax inside and outside (had a nice table and chairs facing beach side). Location is excellent with a great coffee and sandwich shop a block away. My only suggestion would be to have shampoo, conditioner and soap available to guests. Living room tv was hard to figure out (bedroom tv was easy). Overall, a great stay!

Great location.

Wonderful condo very close to the beach. In a great location. Condo was very clean and the instant check in was very convenient. We were able to walk and get coffee from a great little cafe just a few hundred feet away. It was great being able to look out the back door and seeing what flags were flying for the water conditions each morning. Would definitely stay here again.

Great location!

The unit was nicely decorated and clean upon arrival. Angela honored our check-in request a little early, which was great. The location can't be beaten, and the beach access is across the street. I gave four stars instead of 5 because the living room queen "sleeper" was a queen blow-up mattress. My 13-year-old slept on it but was uncomfortable, and the VRBO description is misleading. There is no way two people could fit on the queen blow-up, not to mention the inconvenience of blowing it up and down every day/night. There was also a lot of contradictory information between the VRBO site, the framed Wi-Fi info, and the unit manual. Such as check-out time and, the pool code never worked for us; luckily, one of the neighbors let us use theirs, which was very kind. Communication with Angela was excellent up front but dwindled when I asked about the queen sleeper issue. She was still nice over text but the response time dropped for sure. Overall, we made the best of it and it was an excellent stay outside the communication and misleading description.

Be aware! False advertisement!

Where do I even start? First of all we were never given a unit number so we had to pull up the pictures and figure out what door to enter the code in based off of the patio furniture. Upon entering we spent 10 min looking for the 2nd bedroom which it is listed as. After calling the property manager she assured me it was has never been advertised as a 2 bedroom....she couldn't be more wrong. This condo needs a major cleaning! There was so much hair that I think I could have made a wig. The dust is so thick on the light fixtures that I doubt it will come off. I hope the owner of this unit reads this and takes over the property because it is not being taken care of. I will be contacting VRBO for a refund on the falsely advertised 2 bedroom.

Great condo for our family of five, with one HUGE safety issue

Cute condo that worked great for our family of five, almost... The location was great, the agent super helpful, and the condo almost perfect. However, we nearly had a life changing event happen because of a rather large safety issue with the lock mechanism on the front door. I stayed with my wife, 5yo, 3yo, and 1yo. Our problem occurred becuase the front door, whether locked or unlocked, can always be opened from the inside. There was no deadbolt, latch, or secondary system to make sure it was opened from the inside. My 1yo was able to open the door and get a considerable walk down the sidewalk before we realized. This would have likely been a 4.5/5 star review if not for this...

The condo was in a perfect location. Close to a lot of stuff. The property was as listed other than a different couch. The bath towels were in need of replacement. Nothing that would deter me from staying again. Quiet, nice pool, close to the beach. Definitely would stay again.

Great Trip to Florida!

Comfortable condo - had everything we needed. Beds were comfortable. When we had a "duh" moment with the door, property manager answered immediately, was very friendly and helped problem solve quickly. Very impressed by her. Place could use a little more attention to wiping down kitchen cabinets (they are white and grime accumulates and is visible) and the bunk bed shelves. Same thing with tile in shower. Pool was great - very clean, perfect temperature. Location to beach is very convenient. Only downside is that there is about 30 feet of "beachfront" as the rest is roped off for condos and properties on the beach. It got crowded some days. We actually went down the street and found it much less crowded. Otherwise, place was clean and would stay again.

Weekend getaway

Location was real nice and was walking distance from beach, but the only bad thing is that most of the beach in that area is privately owned by most of the condos, so the entrance to the beach would get real packed with guest trying to find an area to set their things down ( which there isn’t enough room) you have to drive out either way to find the public beach. So we had to go out early morning to set our things out and claim a small space. The water is beautiful….. we will be returning.

It was a great place. The only negative thing was the floor was extremely dirty. You could not walk around without shoes on or your feet would be black. Other than that not a bad place for the price and location.
