the host was super responsive. communication started immediately. she was quick to respond when I let her know of a few things we noticed. there is a washer and dryer unit on each floor that is $2.25 to run each. the beach was super nice- very short but clear walk on their boardwalk.

We loved our stay! The location was great your about 10-15 mins from Harbor Walk depending on traffic and about 7-10 mins from Walmart or Publix and Winn Dixie are just down the street. The chair service was great we had no issues getting chairs daily. We did just go down at 8a when they opened and reserved the chairs and came down when we were ready. You get 2 chairs and 1 umbrella. There is also extra chairs and sand toys in the closet which was great. The kitchen is stocked well and we were able to cook meals with what kitchen items the condo supplied. The washer and dryer were convenient since it’s super close to the condo. Just a few doors down. It does take a really long time to dry but none the less it got the job done. Communication with real joy was great and they were very responsive with any questions or concerns that we had. Overall we will be staying here again in the future!

This condo was so pretty and just like the online photos!!!! The view in the morning is amazing! The beds were so comfortable. I didnt take any photos of the rooms because we were having so much fun on the beach. We went for fall break so the beach was nice and calm, not crowded like other times of the year. This is going to be where we come every year from now on. If you are coming as a family, they have beach toys you can use for your kids and yourself lol. The pool is decent sized and they clean it every morning. The walk to the beach is literally right out the back of the building. Beach service with chairs and umbrellas is great, they even have paddleboards. Book this condo, you wont regret it at all. Make some memories to last forever. Nothing

This was a nice condo and would stay here again. The only downside we can really say was the master shower had low pressure and the faucet had just as much water coming out of it as the shower head did. Made it a little hard to rinse off completely. Especially if you got sand in your hair (per the girls). Listing states beach umbrella and chairs are provided but unless you get down there early you won't have any or if there are some extras available you will be set behind all the others, obstructing your view. Overall if the shower was updated/maintained it would of made it perfect.

Enjoyed our stay at this oceanfront condo. It was right down the street from our friends who live on Holiday Ise. We were able to walk to all of the week's wedding festivities at their home. The condo has magnificent views of the Gul, white sand beach, and pool. it was very clean, well-stocked for cooking, and within walking distance to restaurants and shopping. Grocery stores are a couple of minute ride away as is the Destin Harbor and all the wonderful water view restaurants like Boshamps Seafood & Oyster House.
Couple of minor issues are the front door sticks so you have pull it closed and it's a bit tough to open. It would be great to have a blow dryer in each of the bathrooms, so the gals did not have to share the one.
