Enjoyable stay with accurate representation online. The master bedroom and bath is quite impressive. Great ocean view with easy beach access and local attractions. Having said that there are a few oddities. The faucet for kitchen has it’s hot and cold water reversed (handle has to reversed in order for the faucet to fit), the shower in the one the smaller bedrooms is a mystery to figure out (there’s a hidden switch), the ice maker in the fridge is broken (there’s a secondary ice maker near the sink), and there’s a few places like air vents that need some maintenance. Despite the cleaning charge and Covid sanitation promise, there was sand and dirt on the floor and counters when we arrived. Overall though this was a nice place and very enjoyable.

Our stay was amazing, the condo was clean, spacious, and well-appointed. The large balcony was outstanding for taking in the gulf view and listening to the waves and at this time of year you get both a sunrise and sunset over the water. I highly recommend this property.

FANTASTIC WEEK IN BEAUTIFUL CONDO!!!
FANTASTIC WEEK IN BEAUTIFUL CONDO!!!
We spent a wonderful week in this Condo and it was was absolutely beautiful and exactly as shown in the pictures. There were 6 adults and 3 toddlers and it was perfect for all of us. The kitchen was the best stocked kitchen in any condo that we have stayed. We cooked in several nights and there was not one kitchen utensil missing and plenty of dishes and cookware. The furniture was so comfortable as were the beds. We have been coming to Destin for over 30 years and this was the nicest condo we have stayed in. We loved being on the end unit as the condo was so light and all the balconies were great. Our grandchildren loved the balcony and we all spent a lot of time out there....the furniture was so comfortable and there was plenty for all of us. There were also so many beach toys, chairs and floaties in the owners closet....didn’t have to buy a thing. We have beautiful memories with our daughters, their husbands and our 3 beautiful grandchildren that we will always cherish. We will definitely stay here again on our next trip to Destin!!!
