The place was as described and comfortably on the eighth floor. The safety flag at the beach was visible from our balcony which was very helpful. Beds were comfortable and the atmosphere was peaceful. All the appliances worked accordingly; we cooked and washed. Huge pool area was a family favorite. The beach was walking distance.

We loved our stay. The property has a great pool area! We loved the closeness to the beach and the shuttle convenience! I also appreciated the door locking mechanism as we have toddlers. We were able to lock a door if we didn’t want a child in that room, but easily unlock when we needed in the room. The condo was very clean. The location is also great!

Everything was great, only issue was the very loud noise the toilet in the second bedroom makes when flushed. I also think that even though it was stated prior to us booking that more supplies, such as, trash bags, toilet paper, and towels should be provided according to the amount of guests that are staying. Other than having to constantly wash towels, everything was great!!! Unit was clean, beds were comfortable, showers were always hot and water pressure was great!!! The pool area was the absolute best!! Would definitely recommend!!

The Campus was nice with convenient parking. It’s centrally located to restaurants and stores. It is not really within walking distance to the beach. Definitely need to drive or ride the shuttle. Kitchen was stocked. Only issue was bathrooms. The toilets were loud and shower leaked. Overall it was a good place to stay.

We absolutely LOVED our stay at this condo! The Palms of Destin Resort was amazing with our 3 kids. Having a restaurant, coffee shop, outdoor bar by the pool, arcade games, splash pad, and the best pool in Destin made our stay so enjoyable and easy. We also didn’t mind driving to the public beaches we wanted to go to, even though the condo offers a shuttle to a couple. We definitely highly recommend RealJoy’s too! The one time we contacted their office they were super helpful, informative, and quick. We had an amazing trip!
