This was a beautiful clean property with all the promised amenities. The location was superb with beautiful views, access to the ocean, beach, and pool. It was within a short driving distance to many restaurants and shops and not too far from the airport with a rental car. Everything was communicated clearly from the host and we will stay here again when we are back in the area.

We had an excellent experience at this property! The beach was easily accessible, we loved sitting on the balcony with the beautiful view and we even saw dolphins early in the morning. The kitchen had all the basic necessities and more. The unit was clean and smelled good, the beds were very comfortable. If we ever come back to Destin we definitely will be staying here again.

The condo is great and had everything we needed. The carpet in the bedrooms was a little worn but overall the condo looks great and just like the pictures. One of the reasons we chose this condo because it was a little further down the beach and away from a lot of the public access. That meant we had the beach pretty much to ourselves every day and the pool was fairly quiet too. There is still a service where you can rent beach chairs, umbrellas and bikes. Management company was very responsive to any questions. We would stay here again.

Great property but out of date. Kitchen not stocked with all utensils. No brush for basting. Can opener didn't work. Coffee pot old and slow and didn't drip full amount of water. Toaster is a disgrace. Pool not heated. Loved it overall but they need to update. Gate to get into property had light burnt out so at night you couldn't see number pad and had to get your phone light out. They fixed gate but never the light. RealJoy was wonderful and helpful.
