Friendly staff, great location!

The view was amazing, the condo was beautiful, the only disappointing thing was that the pool wasn’t heated as mentioned on the website and it was too cold to swim in the ocean.

The host that welcomed us in was very gracious and kind. The condo was very nice but could be updated and deep cleaned. The rugs were very old and the 2nd bedroom smelt like someone had a cat in there and they went on the rug. We did enjoy the complex and the view was fantastic. . Just needs updated, new rugs. New furniture in living room and deep cleaning . Location is awesome. We loved it there.

Let me start with cleanness and view which is correct as per listing however here so many negative about property Property as listed on is very old and not as per amount which it is listed . So many stuffs are aging out and master bedroom remains warm while whole house chill on air condition.Not worth money Ghosting: host stopped communicating two days before stay and did not provide check instructions till time of checkin . I was traveling from Atlanta with 2 year old kid without knowing where to go for checkin and gate all.Photos as listed did not matched at all .Overpriced

The unit is very pretty and decorated well. We enjoyed our stay and the unit was well stocked with dishes, pots and pans, toaster, coffee pot etc. It really had everything we needed. The only negative is the carpet in the bedrooms and main living area that is showing its wear with stains etc. All in all it’s a beautiful unit with top notch finishes! We enjoyed our stay.

Great 2 bedroom 2 bathroom condo right on the beach with a pool onsite. Parking and check in are easy. Recommend bringing beach needs and essentials with you (trash bags, detergents, soap, shampoo, etc. if staying more than a weekend as the starter supplies run out quick. Location is great just off Highway 98 and easy to get anywhere in Destin within minutes. Views from the balcony and master bedroom are amazing.
