This place was perfect for our family of 4. Clean and cozy accommodation with comfortable beds, clean linen. Very convenient that there are two bathrooms. The kitchen is convenient with the ability to cook food. View and access directly to the beach. Two or three pools on the hotel grounds. The white sand is incredibly beautiful and the color of the water in the bay is simply incredible. Great place

Wonderful
I love that everything was close. The beach view was perfect. There were a lot of pools. Good value for the money. It is a cafe on site. I felt it was a little over priced. The home had the basics. The kitchen had everything you needed to cook with. We ended up going to Walmart to purchase some items to cook with. We stayed for 6 nights. I thought it had a washer and dryer in the home it did not. However at the end of each level they have a community laundry room. It was $2.00 to wash and $2.00 to dry. To help the lobby has a coin machine next to the vending machines. There was an cashless option as well.

Our family had a great spring break trip in Destin on the beach. One thing we wished we knew ahead of time, in order to enjoy the beach you need to rent chairs otherwise there is a very limited area to hang out and people reserve these days to months in advance. Our condo smelled clean when we got there. We did find floss threaders under the bed and dirty clothes next to the wall of the bunk beds otherwise we were happy with everything else.
