Capri by the Gulf 117

Our rental at Capri By The Gulf was just as described on VRBO. The best part...the view! Chairs & Umbrella were included. For a busy holiday weekend, we felt right at home! Zero fighting for space on the beach. Front row view daily. Easy to check in and the rental was very clean and neat. We will definitely be back!

Everything about it was awesome! I cannot say enough about the location! The complex is in the middle of a nice neighborhood and close to everything! Being a smaller complex was so nice! While on the beach, it was not crowded at all like a big condo complex! Chairs and umbrella were included with the company setting them up was a huge bonus! Unit 117 was so nice and had everything that we needed! The property was very clean and well taken care of! Loved having the palm trees on the property! Price per night was great! Can’t wait to come back! Though so helpful and informative I got way too many emails and text before the trip.

This was our second visit to Capri. It is a smaller unit, which is a plus. The units are updated and very nice and clean. Because the property is one story, there is a lot of room on the beach, you are not packed it. You cannot get closer to the beach. Management was very friendly, good communication via text msg. Unit 117 has a smart TV but did not have traditional cable TV. I used my Comcast account on my PC for that purpose. Parking is very secure as the property is gated. I will try to stay here again.

The rental was clean and adequately supplied. It was conveniently located to the beach. We enjoyed sitting on the deck area overlooking the beach every morning over a cuppa coffee and again in the evenings at Sunset. The beach was extremely close and made it easy to go back-and-forth to the room throughout the day when needed. The chairs and umbrellas that were made available made it very easy to set along the water and just bring a towel and bag. The office staff was extremely responsive and supportive when we had to reach out due to low battery on the keypad access to the room. Wonderful location! Great vacation!

Able to break away for a few days and were lucky enough to once again get a couple of units at the Capri. Best kept secret along old 98. Rooms were very pleasant, nicely appointed, comfortable beds, and quiet. Not to mention the direct, unobstructed view/access to the beach, beach service, and ideal location for shopping and dining.

The manager gave us all the information we needed to arrive directly to the apartment: gate code, door code. The house was super clean, the kitchen is fully equipped. Comfortable bed, good bathroom, modern, like it was recently remodeled. AC unit working perfectly. No complaints about the apartment. It couldn't be closer to the beach!The apartment has two big TVs that we haven't use because we spend all of the time on the beach."Sunrise, sunburn, sunset, repeat!" Wonderful, clean, clear, warm waters. A paradise. We totally recommend this apartment community. We'll be back! Thank you Harmony Beach Vacations!!Sergio

This was our first time staying in Destin, FL. The condo unit was steps from the beach. Because this is a single level complex, there was no hauling items up and down in an elevator and parking is located directly in front of unit. Unit was in very good condition, with all necessary items provided. Very convenient getting in and out of complex. Management office helpful with inquires. Information provided for arrival and departure easy to follow. Would stay here again if our travels should bring us back to Destin.

it was the perfect location you could hear the ocean while sitting out in front of your door short walk to go to the beach with easy access. Much more quieter and Serene than a high-ri condominium. And it was gated and made you feel so safe. The only thing that was missing was a pool.

We have stayed at this same unit numerous times over the years. Not even sure how many, and we always have a great time. Love the location which is right on the beach. And beach service was an added perk. Only thing I question is why the Friday to Friday rental policy? We lost out on a day because we could not come in until Saturday so then of course we had to check out on Friday. This is something that had changed since the last time we stayed at Capri.

This was our second time staying at Capri 117. It is our favorite unit so far. I loved everything about our stay except for one thing. When we arrived at 3:45 p.m. hoping to check in a little early, the office staff said it would be fine but he needed to do a quick walk thru before we checked in. He walked in the unit and discovered that it had not been cleaned yet. By this time it was 4:00 p.m. He made a phone call and said it would be cleaned ASAP and asked if there was something we could do for a while until it was cleaned. So basically we didn’t get to check in until 5:00. I know mistakes happen, but the NEW checkout time is 9:00 . It is a real struggle to get up and out by 9:00 and I think if Capri is going to impose that early of a checkout time, they should make sure the room is cleaned in a timely manner. I heard other guests also complaining about such an early checkout as well, so you may want to revisit that decision.
