    Terrible experience. First day of what was supposed to be 1 month stay was called and told they were turning water off completely for 5 to 7 full days and spent next 2 days going back and forth trying to find other arrangements amd only given portion of money back when i fill like should have been fully refunded with the issues and fact i spent entire time there trting to find somwwhere else to go so wasn't much of a vacation when it had to be cut short from a month to less than a week

    The beach and sound views from this 6th floor unit were amazing! Steps from the beach and plenty of room to explore in the uninhabited beach next to the property. Close to all of the activities in Destin. Stewby's is nearby and serves the best fresh seafood. Absolutely enjoyed every minute of our stay!

    Would definitely stay here again!! Perfect spot that backs up to the military owned portion of the beach so it’s incredibly quiet and no light pollution to the west (not that east is busy at all). The condo itself is better than the photos depict. They now have a Keurig and a drip coffee pot along with any thing else you could need in the kitchen, although no basics like sugar, filters, condiments. A super comfy king bed and the two twin beds can be pushed together to make a twin with a foam connector piece in the closet. Plenty of storage with cabinets closets and a huge walk-in closet. The bathrooms are great, and would accommodate a full house easily but have an odd layout. From the hall near the 2nd bedroom you walk into a vanity area, that opens to the shower & toilet area, from there there’s a pocket door to the other toilet & larger vanity area that opens to the master bedroom. Plenty of towels, linens, TP, but no toiletries, which wasn’t necessarily expected in a rental condo.

    Very easy reservation process. Great communication with Lynn. Everything and I mean everything was perfect!!! Lynn answered some questions I had about area attractions. The location and view was wonderful! We even tried to add on to our stay but it was already reserved.

    The condo was perfect for my family. Gorgeous views and a very clean place. It is in a quiet little area on the island with a great pool. Very short walk to the beach. They had beach chairs, an umbrella, and beach towels- really everything you need. It’s a short drive to restaurants but away from the touristy area so the beaches weren’t crowded. Everyone was so friendly in the area. It’s a gated community so felt safe at night. I would highly recommend staying here!
