We had 11 people staying in this location, 8 adults and 3 children. The layout was set up perfectly for us to all have our own space, bathrooms, etc. The balconies were very spacious and you simply cannot beat that view! It was fairly clean aside from sandy floors, which I realize is a never ending battle. I would have liked to have seen at least some basic spices stocked. No salt & pepper even?! The dryer went out during our stay but the maintenance man was there promptly to evaluate and had it fixed in a timely manner. Great communication from him. Overall our stay was very enjoyable and we are already looking at dates to come back! ##### Kandis M.

The unit has a general "well used" feel about it and needs some TLC both in maintenance issues and upgrades to furniture / fixtures. Propery Manager was very responsive to most of the requests; some, like the mattress with a huge hole in it had to be referred to the owner. Check out was a bit rude, cleaning crew showed up 45 minutes early, walking in without knocking; then maintenance was at door changing the lock key code right at 10 a.m. without even checking to see if we were still in the room. Location on the beach is excellent; needs some shade at the pool; pool service at beach is excellent even if a bit expensive. One parking spot for a 4 bedroom unit sleeping 12 is seemingly a bit weak but we made it work. Elevators are prompt but not well cleaned. ##### Steve S.

The Master was huge! The other bedrooms had plenty of space as well. A quiet unit, didn’t hear anything! Updated nicely to be an older unit. Loved the close proximity to the beach and how it was never crowded. Also loved the views and all the windows. ##### Terri D.

A few wonky things, like a broken towel bar and jiggly toilet paper holders but these are very nit-picky things didn’t change anything but that we only noticed. ##### Samantha W.

The place was very nice sized, great for 2 families. The beach was private. Beach Chair rental is a bit pricey ##### Kelley P.

The penthouse was the perfect size for us. We had 3 couples, the bedrooms were nice and the beds were so comfortable. I usually have issues sleeping away from home because of my bad back but I didn't here. Our friends said their bed in their rooms were way comfortable as well. The two decks to sit out and relax on were perfect. The view of the ocean from them was so nice to have. You can listen to the ocean all night which was so peaceful. Our other favorite part was the private beach access and the area designated for guests that stay there. It wasn't busy and was great for relaxing. The condo was clean which is a must for us. The heated pool was clean and not too busy.. We would definitely come stay here again. ##### Ali R.

The size and location was perfect and overall everything was great. We really enjoyed the spacious balconies, views and open living area. The down side for us was accommodations in the condo were extremely basic... We all travel often and are used to places having certain items standard such as at least one blow dryer available, at least one box of tissues/Kleenex, enough coffee for the first morning and basic spices in the kitchen like salt/pepper. ##### Jennifer B. Stayed 3 nights in Nov 2018 Archival ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kevin B. 10 Apr 2017 #### Three Family Vacation Excellent property, great vacation. Great Views and easy access to the beach. Great central location close to plenty of things to do. We had 3 family's of 4 people each for a full week and there was more than enough room for everyone. The kitchen is top shelf, well equipped, and the grilling area was very nice as well. Simple, easy, and active during the day, quiet at night. This place was more than we could have asked for. Would highly recommend. And, special thanks to Shannon and Jilenna at Forever Vacation Rentals, they were very helpful, communicated everything very well, and made the whole process very easy, they were great to deal with. ##### Kevin B.

Couldn’t have gotten much better than this rental. Updated decor, clean & spacious unit with VERY comfortable beds, lots of seating, highly functional, large, well stocked kitchen, impressive master bedroom & bath that just cannot be compared to others, and, oh, did I already mention the amazing views of the gulf from the fabulous balconies?!!! Older, somewhat smallish building with a gated under cover parking spot. Nice clean, heated pool & hot tub area, friendly beach rental guys, kayak rentals & a Tiki Hut bar & grill just a short walk down the beach. We had one small glitch where we set off the alarm after a thunderstorm & maintenance was right on it minutes after we called. All in all, a truly wonderful vacation to remember. ##### Deb L. Stayed 7 nights in May 2023 Archival ### 10/10 Excellent #### Robert k. 4 Aug 2016 #### Awesome condo This is a great condo and can fit and feed lots of people. The kitchen is extremely stocked with everything you need which is quite unusual. In the past, I have had to buy kitchen supplies, cups, flatware, etc. but not this place. There is enough kitchen utensils, plates, etc. to feed an army. The living area is big enough and the bedrooms are away from each other which gives you privacy and quietness when you need it. One bedroom sleeps up to 8 people! More condos should have a bunk room like this place. A great room for all the kids. The other three bedrooms have king size beds with big screen TVs, however, the TVs were rarely used. The master room is huge with a private balcony. This unit is one of two on the 16th floor, so there is even more privacy. If you choose Destin, you cannot go wrong with this condo. I will definitely try to rent it again. ##### Robert k. ---
