My family stayed for 7 days. The space was very clean and well equipped for our stay. It is a great location just minutes away from stores and restaurants. The private beach is a 30 second walk from the back door. Daily beach chairs and umbrellas are provided free of charge. If you are looking for a beach vacation this is the spot! We would highly recommend!

One of Florida’s most beautiful beaches and communities. We felt right at home in this well equipped condo.

This unit is perfect, the host thought of every detail you might need.
You are right on the beach, just steps away which was perfect for our 6 and 9 year olds to run back and grab lunch or take a break from the sun. The chair service was excellent.
Highly recommend and would stay here again!

If you want convenience to the beach, this is the place! The boardwalk to beach was directly to the left of sliding glass doors and patio with two showers to wash the sand off. The only reason I gave four stars on cleanliness is the toilet seats were in need of a little cleaning. Other than that it was very clean everywhere else. The kitchen was completely stocked with everything you need. The bed was very comfortable. There are two bunk beds down hallway if needed. Modern washer and dryer was very handy. We had a great time and hope to go again sometime.

Third year in this condo and it was great as usual. Everything you need is there, it’s steps from the beach with beautiful white sand and crystal clear water. Several great seafood restaurants within a five minute drive. Couldn’t be better. Thanks to Linda!!

Just steps from the beach and the view could not have been better. You cannot be closer to the beach. The hosts were very gracious with an unexpected last minute special request. The property is exactly as described. We enjoyed our stay.

How do you know you’ve had the perfect vacation? You and your family know you are where you need to be when mid week the only thing bad about your vacation is you find yourselves counting days/hours dreading the end. This room comfortable accommodated a family of four. Local shopping was close enough for us to attain within minutes yet, was far enough away to keep the sanctitude of a vacation spot. The room is located in a manner that allows for easy to and from without having to use steps and elevator. The location also allows for a communal atmosphere as when you are sitting on patio you may acknowledge those staying and meet travelers looking for the same getaway. We have no complaints and look forward to our next visit - specifically in this room - anything else would feel … sub par. Kansas City Love!

My spouse and I enjoyed celebrating our 35th anniversary at this beautiful location. We both adore Destin, and being near the beach was a top priority when searching for a rental unit. We couldn't have asked for a more perfect experience!

Condo was exactly as listed. Great beachfront location. Was the perfect size for our family of four. Beach service was the only thing not great, some days they did not even put chairs out. I understand the weather was not perfect, but 65 degrees feels great to us northerners. One day the all but took the chairs from under us because rain was coming in later that afternoon. Beach service is great included in the rental, if the service was better. No reflection on the condo or host what so ever. The condo was very well stocked with all soaps and paper products to start. We were very pleased overall, would definitely book this condo again!!

Great Location
Everything was great with the property except no sheets for fold out sofa and the TV in the bedroom would not change channels. Not sure if there was a remote missing? WE loved walking of the door onto the beach. Lots of great memories made with our family!

Best beach stay ever
My wife and I have rented in Gulf Shores, Panama City, Ft Myers, Bonita Beach and others but this condo is far and above the best. Linda has everything stocked that you could possibly need. The location is perfect, the condo was super clean and the beach was perfect. The daily beach chair and umbrella setup is a real plus. We will definitely be back!

Absolutely Wonderful
Great location right on the beach. Just the right size for 1 or 2 couples with smaller children. Plenty of pots, pans and bakeware to cook with. I rearranged some of the cabinets so that I had a place to store boxed and canned foods. Full size washer and dryer are a wonderful plus! The TV system was hard for me to figure out but then again I watch very little TV. Just a couple of football games I needed to watch as they involved my local NFL team. Owner is very responsive to any needs or problems. This is a wonderful place to stay!
