    10/10 would recommend staying here if you visit the Destin, FL area. The condo was exactly as described, clean, and comfortable. The 2 pools were so well-kept, and we really enjoyed them. The beds were comfortable. We especially loved the 2 decks overlooking the lake... so pretty and enjoyed seeing the turtles. The condo had great parking where you pull right up in front of your unit which was very convenient. Short walk to the pool and while it states a 3-minute walk to the beach it's more like 10 minutes or so, but it wasn't bad and loved the private beach access with beach service. The condo had a closet with boogie boards, pool noodles and other fun stuff which was great! The condo was close to shopping, restaurants, etc. The only thing I would suggest is updating the frying pans which were in poor condition making it hard to really cook with them.

    We stayed for a month- late Jan through February. The location overlooking the lake on the water and a short walk to the Gulf beach was excellent. Parking was right outside our door with easy access to everything off of 98. Our host was nearby, attentive, and easy to access if needed. We cooked at home with all the tools needed. We also found several great places to eat— highly recommend— Crackin for breakfast and lunch; Louisiana Lagniappe and Mimmos for dinner; and for a special night out— Bijoux in Miramar Beach! The ‘snow bird’ community at Southbay is friendly and welcoming from all areas of the country. Only sorry that we missed the shuffle board tournament and potluck! Great place for our first ‘snow bird’ experience— home away from home!

    We loved the area—absolutely beautiful, with a short walk to the beach. The condo had everything we needed and was beautifully decorated.The only downside was the hot water heater. Unfortunately, only one person could take a quick hot shower before the hot water ran out, which was challenging with kids waiting to shower after a cooler day at the beach.

    You're staying on lake front property with a very short walk to the Gulf beach, so you have beautiful views and 2 decks to enjoy. 2 story condo was exactly as shown. It was comfortable and we felt at home for our extended stay. Coffee bar in main bedroom a nice touch as a way to start your day on the covered deck as you roll out of bed! Laundry on upper level where living, dinning and kitchen located (with a half bath!!!) was convenient. Outdoor shareable grill was close by off the parking lot. Many choices of grocery stores nearby - farmers markets on weekends. Sunsets were beautiful...beach was so quiet and empty during our stay. Destin had lots of choices for local things to do too in the evening when the sun went down...a BBQ Fest, circus, Harbor Village, fresh seafood markets, breweries. We tried to not live like visitors but to embrace the beautiful seascapes, sunshine & warmth of Florida. Had the opportunity to meet Diane - very nice host. No complaints except that we couldnt stay forever! :)

    While myself and daughter have been on many vacations, my friend and her 2 kids have never been on one. She wanted her 9yr girl and 3 yr old boy to experience the sea and beach. It was a perfect place to stay with our 2 families. Perfect amount of room and bathrooms. Was able to fix dinner if we were awake enough after the short walk to play all day at the beach. So glad there was beach equipment and toys for us to use. And we couldn’t forget about feeding the turtles right off the balcony. The kids loved that every morning.
