    Not sure if the people above us were visiting as well or owners, they were super loud during the night and early morning. Other than that, this was a GREAT place to stay and perfect access to whatever you want to do. I suggest you go eat at least once at Camille’s!!! That place is fantastic!

    This was a fantastic place to stay. Beautiful little place to hang your hat, eat in, watch a movie, read and comfortable master bedroom. You can see the beach from the location and just a hope, skip and jump to that beach. We absolutely loved it ... highly recommend. A downer is you can not check in until 4PM on the day you are paying for and have to check out by 9AM on the day you leave. Really cuts into your vacation time.

    We stayed at this condo for a wedding and had a great experience overall! The space was very clean, and communication with the host was smooth and straightforward. The location was convenient, and the bed was super comfortable. The pool area was also well-maintained and inviting.A few helpful notes for future guests:If you’re planning to check in early, be aware there’s an additional fee. Also, the condo provides a starter supply of essentials like toilet paper and paper towels—enough for about a day. You’ll want to bring extras along with items like trash bags, coffee filters, and seasonings. This isn’t a complaint, just something that’s good to know in advance so you can be better prepared.We would absolutely stay here again!

    Everything about the Beach Gem condo was fantastic! The two minor issues we noticed right away were taken care of immediately by our gracious host, Angela. The king bed is super comfy and the kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed to prepare our meals. My husband and I will definitely be staying in the Beach Gem at Caribbean Dunes again!

    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.

    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!

    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.
