    This was a convenient place for walking to whatever you need - a few miles here and there. We had what we needed with the exception of beach towels, which I brought thanks to another review. The beach isn't just steps away unless you walk over homes, and when you get to the beach its mostly all roped off as private with rental chairs...it was disappointing to have to be kicked off the beach and asked to walk down to the public sections... there are two public beach access points across the street which is easy enough and close to get to. The unit has sliding doors that wouldn't close tight making the cold nights real drafty. We had issues getting the cable to work as well but after a lot of trials we managed to get live cable to watch in the evening during the cold snap. The pool area seemed okay, the pool water was cold! This unit is perfect for a couple, with a little TLC this would be an amazing place.

    The location was nice. Close to shopping, biking trails, beaches. However the manager was extremely hard to get in touch with . Which added undo stress to our vacation!

    Location, location!! Very clean place so close to beaches and commerce. However, even the most attractive property doesn't not shine enough without its host. Christina is not only very professional, but she is sincere human being caring for her customers. Her attention to all details and the way she is focusing on their clients is second to none. Thank you for all your help!

    Parking right next to the unit. Small but perfect for a couple just needing a comfortable place to crash. Beautiful beach just one block away!

    If you’ve ever wondered what it’s like to live underneath a 24/7 toddler marathon training camp, this is your chance. The upstairs guest (a very energetic child, we assume) started their daily sprints promptly between 6–7am and kept the training going well into the night yes, including around 2am. Impressive stamina, truly.Unfortunately, the soundproofing seems more “paper-thin chic” than peaceful retreat. At one point, I’m fairly certain we could’ve participated in their upstairs conversations if we wanted to.As for the bed… calling it “uncomfortable” feels generous. Between the mattress and the nightly/early morning footrace above us, sleep was more of a hopeful concept than a reality.If you’re a deep sleeper or enjoy the ambiance of constant footsteps, this might be your place. Otherwise, you may want to pack earplugs… and maybe your own mattress.

    The cottage was conveniently located near the beach. You could leave the cottage and be standing on the beach within 3 minutes. The cottage was fresh and clean and felt comfortable to stay in. I liked that the host was quick to respond during the booking and checking-in process.

    The rental is small—but you must already know that if you’re booking a studio condo. There are no frills—be prepared to buy toilet paper, salt and pepper and basic necessities. But this was clearly advertised and it definitely met our needs. The beach was gorgeous and steps away and the pool was a wonderful way to unwind after the beach. Camille’s is a restaurant in walking distance but otherwise be prepared to drive to other locations and attractions. Or Uber, there is lots of availability in Destin.
