Excellent condo with a beautiful view. Clean and well appointed accommodations. Our family will definitely return there on our next trip to the Destin/Ft Walton beach area.
We loved the condo and the area. We go there every year and can't wait to return. The condo is beautiful and we had plenty of room. Great views from the balcony.
This is our 6th time at this resort. I would definitely recommend this property for a large family to stay together. Fun and everything you want for a beach vacation. Easy access to lots of wonderful activities.
We had a few issues but the owner was incredibly responsive and repaired the issues as soon as possible. The resort had great amenities that were well taken care of and easy to access. Despite having to leave early due to hurricane threat, it was an amazing vacation and the condo offered great space for my family and a stunning view.
This was an awesome place to stay. Close to the pool/hot tub, close to the beach, and an overall nice place. The deck was awesome and had plenty of seating. The owner provided a wagon, beach chairs. and some other items for thee beach. We would go back. the beach.
5 guys on a fishing trip. great location. easy to communicate with owner. beautiful view. January wqs cold and rainy, it was nice to have covered parking.
Enjoyed this property very much. It was windy during our stay so the porch was a little on the chilly side. Beds were nice as well as the view. Only gripe was with the pots and pans. We cook a lot even on vacation and the nonstick was not up to our cooking/health standards. Joe was a great host!!
A group of 10 of us stayed and have no complaints. The view from the balcony overlooking the bay is fantastic. Plenty of room for everyone inside the condo. The kids really enjoyed looking at fish/crabs in the bay. The property is amazing plenty of pools and a awesome lazy river. This was our first trip to the gulf coast and the beach was definitely what we had hoped it to be. Joe checked on us during our stay and was very easy to communicate with.
Annual Office Trip for 2023 included 6 of us. Despite the fact that it rained the entire trip we made the best of it by shopping the nearby outlet stores and getting in the beautiful lazy river when the sky cleared well enough and we ate well at the nearby restaurants. The stay here was absolutely perfect with a magnificent view all the way around and the home was as nice inside as the view outside. Highly recommended !!
Property was amazing! So much room for our group and everyone had beds. Loved the wrap around deck with views (we saw pods of dolphins and stingrays off the balcony!). Easy and convenient walk to the beach. Can't beat the lazy river. Highly recommend if you rent a boat/pontoon the docks next door are a quick walk over less than 5 min and easy to bring stuff with you. Plenty of kitchen supplies and ice trays. Beach Cart chairs if you need in a closet. Place was amazingly clean. Easy to get ahold of host and he communicated promptly. If we come back to Destin I would book this place again in a heart beat! Thanks Joe!
I’m not so good at these reviews but Joe was so kind and on top of everything I have to give this my best shot. The condo has a very beautiful view from the large patio. The patio alone is another living space. The rooms are plenty large and the master suite is the best of them all with a large room and even larger bath suite. This is a great location because you’re just a few minutes from crab island and all the rentals but not in the middle of it all. Pools and lazy river are a big hit with the kids and teens. Beach is a short walk over the sky bridge. Plenty of room to grab a spot and enjoy the white sand. I’m looking forward to returning asap.
The condo was perfect for our family, and we loved the location. Getting to the beach was easy and the lazy river was very nice. We loved being able to look out at the bay and the pool. The corner balcony was great. We will definitely be back.
We had the best time. The condo was perfect, very clean and big enough for all 10 of us. It was well equipped with everything we needed and more!! The kids had a blast and so did the grown-ups. Would definitely stay here again!
This unit is VERY nice and roomy! The wrap around balcony gave us an excellent view of the sound and the sunrise.All of the amenities and rooms were up to date. In fact, it was like staying in a newly built condo. The host is very responsive and was very helpful with suggestions on where to keep my boat and other local information we needed. I will definitely stay in this unit again!

Liked: Cleanliness, location
The facility was clean and very spacious, large rooms and that view from that large patio was everything. The host Joe was very attentive, we had a slight issue when we entered the unit I called him and he respond instantly and helped us solve the issue. The area is nice and good for families everyone was kind courteous and helpful. My only recommendation is plan to have everything for cooking. I’ve been to other facilities before and usually find salt/pepper and other spices this one didn’t have it. Guess they dispose of anything left behind for safety. No big deal Public’s and other places are in the area some within walking distance, just wasn’t expecting this. Now as far as the kitchen utensils it’s all there. Everything for grilling, baking, coffee, toaster etc.
Property is exactly as listed! Beautiful balcony view right on the water and short walk via skywalk to the beach. Our family enjoyed every moment spent here. Very spacious for large or multiple families. Patrick was absolutely fabulous and took care of any issues promptly. Definitely will be coming back for our Florida stay!!
