Very disappointing, my husband and our two children (3yr & 9 months old) stayed here for Labor Day weekend. The apartment itself is in a great location in regards to proximity to the beach but the unit was not clean. My 9 month old was crawling and picked up a sizable amount of marijuana that was left on the floor from I'm assuming was a previous tenant. Thankfully I saw her pick something up and start planning with it before she could ingest it, that would of been a whole separate issue. I contacted the unit manager and she didn't seem to understand the severity of the situation.The floor was so dirty it left the bottom of everyone's feet black. I ended up having to Uber to Walmart to get cleaning supplies and spent a good two hours out of my vacation to clean the unit appropriately. The manager could have at least refunded my cleaning deposit and reimburse me for the cleaning supplies. I would not recommend a family with children stay here.

This condo was great for my son & I. Communication was great and the owner promptly replied if needed. The pool area & tiki bar were also very enjoyable. The owner has put a lot of thought into making her property feel like home. Everything you need should be in the condo! The only reason I only gave it 4 stars is because we were very disappointed that we were not allowed to sit our chairs up by the water. (This is completely out of the owners control.) We are huge water people & when we are at the beach we want to sit & enjoy the view. I would NEVER sit in front of paid rentals, however the first day when I went down to sit up my beach chairs the La Dolce Vita worker pretty rudely informed my that if we didn’t pay for chairs we had to sit behind the 3 rows of paid chairs. It kind of ruined it for us to just have a view of the backs of chairs. The second day I waited until about 3 pm when people started clearing out and sat right on the waters edge and while I was out swimming I noticed the worker had come & stood right next to my chair to again tell me to move. I have been bringing my kids to Destin since they were babies & have never had this happen to me. Had I known that I probably would have stayed somewhere else. It’s sad because it’s a great condo. If you don’t care about that there should be no other issues!!

This was the perfect room for our escape to Destin! Owner was very easy to communicate with and the room was clean and well decorated with plenty of amenities including beach chairs and toys! The oceanfront view was amazing and we would definitely come back again!

This might have been the last real family vacation we get. Between our son graduating and going off to college and our daughters’ travel sports schedules. Destin was a great choice. Lots of activities for all ages. Our commons areas of the resort showed some age and wear. But our living area was beautiful. Great balcony view of the beach and gulf. The pools were crowded but manageable and everyone was pleasant. Julie, our host, was fantastic. We never met her but communications via text and email were 2nd to none. I would book a future stay in one of her homes. Thank you for the great memories Destin!

We stayed here for a week in July. The pictures for the unit are beautiful, but when you walk in the unit, you are just amazed, it is beyond beautiful! Beautiful views, the condo was perfect. Beautifully decorated and comfortable. Julie is the perfect host we could not be any happier with our stay. The sand was white and soft. The beach was warm and clear. The pools were crystal clear, and the Tiki Bar was great. I could get my grandkids non-alcoholic pina coladas! We made wonderful memories and had the most amazing time. We will be back!

My family of 5 had the most wonderful stay at this beautiful condo. The location of this property is amazing and the condo has everything you could possibly need. The host Julie was so amazing to communicate with. I could not recommend this place even more, I wish we would have extended our stay longer! We will definitely be back!

We stayed here with our 2 boys ages 5 and 8 and it was the most perfect location. The condo was gorgeous and was furnished with everything you could ever need! We ended up extending our stay because we didn’t want to leave. It truly felt like home and Julie was the best host. We will be back!

Great place to stay, perfect location, and perfect view of the beach. Would definitely recommend and will visit again!
