My family and I had a great time on vacation. Everything was nice and clean when arriving and everything was easily accessible (elevator, trash shoot, bar, and pool). The pool was amazing. We had a couple of days where it rained heavy and the pool cleanup crew was there early the next morning to clean it up. Overall we loved our stay. Something to note, if you want to go to the beach, I suggest going to Henderson Beach right down the road. It is easier to find a spot to put up tents without having to worry about private beach owners. Henderson Beach did start a new process that you have to make reservations online, it's quick and easy though.

Thank you for the 5-star review! Glad your family had a great time at Palms Resort #1503 Jr. 2BR. We're happy the unit was clean and that the elevator, trash chute, bar, and pool were easy to access. It's great the pool cleanup crew had everything ready after the heavy rain. Thanks for the Henderson Beach tip about reservations—very helpful for future guests. We appreciate you staying with us and hope to host you again. RealJoy Destin

We really enjoyed this resort! 5 min walk to beach or you could take the shuttle. The water current at beach was high (double red flags), so we didn’t get to spend as much time in the water, but the resort’s pool and amenities made up for it. Good vibes Cafe and the coffee shop are so cute and fun, and everything was great! Loved the convenience of having so much onsite. The condo was clean and as described. We would definitely stay there again. Thank you!
