My family and I enjoyed our stay in this comfy condo. The beautiful view of the beach was so nice and got to enjoy it with my morning coffee ☕️ . The location was perfect everything was so convenient 5 minutes to the grocery stores, restaurants and beach. Loved that there was two complementary chairs along with an umbrella and table at the beach ⛱️ set up daily with my last name, all we took to the beach were our towels and the kids toys. It was such a family friendly stay, kids had a blast, pool was great. The condo had everything fully equipped the only thing that I didn't like was that there was no washer or dryer in the condo, having little ones that's a must other than that everything was great. The staff was very responsive, we will definitely book again.

The condo was attractive, clean, roomy and very well appointed. Beds were super comfortable too and I’m picky about mattresses. The balcony had an awesome setup. I sat and played games with my grandson and read. I brought a book but read it in 24 hours so I took advantage of the existing book collection and read 4 more while I was there. The books and games were a nice addition. I would suggest mentioning the coffee maker uses basket filters vs cone. There were none so I had to run to the store. I left some behind for the next guests. The air fryer was a great touch. Thank you for opening up your condo. It was a memorable and much needed vacation. I would highly recommend the condo.

We were pleased with our stay. The condo was the perfect size for our family with enough space for everyone to relax or get some quiet space. The large balcony was a big favorite of ours in the evenings and mornings, before and after the beach as well as for dinner on the nights we stayed in. Located in between the beach and the pool made going to either very convenient. Because these condominiums aren't a high rise building like some of the others located along the beach, I loved that our beach access wasn't crowded at all. We enjoyed our stay and will consider this unit when we return to Destin!
