Family Beach Getaway
My family of 4 stayed 3 nights. Overall, our stay at was nothing short of amazing. The combination of the private beach, pool access, stunning harbor views, and friendly atmosphere made it a vacation to remember. The owners were quick to reapond to any questions that came up. I highly recommend this property for anyone looking to enjoy a perfect beach getaway.

Perfect vacation
Perfect vacation! We loved everything about our unit. This was our second time staying at the pool side villas and we loved the location and interior of this unit. The exterior of pool side villas does need some maintenance as it does look like it’s currently under construction in some areas. Hopefully by next year it will be completed. Our unit wasn’t included in the construction areas and didn’t affect our experience though! We love it here! Thank you for a wonderful vacation!

Great place for a small family.
The unit was nicely decorated, updated, and super clean. Location is perfectly situated in between the bay and ocean. The street outside is quiet and perfect for anyone wanting to get out and exercise without fighting busy street traffic.

GREAT location! Nice condo with everything you need for the beach. Chairs, tent, toys, cooler n body boards. 5 min away from drugstores, food and beverages. Kitchen has blender, toaster n coffee maker. Needs a few more pots/pans if you're cooking for large family. A/C works great. Awesome spot for snorkeling. Fish galore, sea turtles, sharks, dolphins, stingrays etc. Can't wait to go back!

A bit of a rocky start as the gate code given was incorrect and keypad not user friendly, but I was able to easily get in touch with the property owners to resolve. The condo was very well stocked, exactly as described, and had lots of great personal touches. Definitely recommend!

My family enjoyed our stay here. It’s the perfect location. We don’t like getting knocked down by the waves on the beach, this location is perfect. The water is calm and fun to snorkel in.

Great! Right on the beach
We loved our stay in Destin! First problem we had was that the gate number they gave us was incorrect so we were unable to get into the parking area and when we tried to call the cell phone numbers provided, it took several attempts to contact them. Once we got in, however, it was perfect! The only thing I wish we could have changes was that the balcony sliding glass door would not lock. This was a bit of a safety concern since our children were sleeping on the pull-out couch, but because we were on the 3rd floor, we felt ok about it. Overall, great location and property!

Great falls break stay.
We enjoyed our stay during fall break. The condo was clean and nicely decorated. The beds were comfortable and we appreciated the beach chairs we could use. Only issue was you have to have a streaming service ( netflix etc...) we did not have one so we had to sign up. Wish we would have had a heads up in the description. Not a big deal, still had a GREAT time. Thanks for sharing your property with us!
