"Excellent location and lovely space. Breakfast was great too."

Remodeled Beachfront 😎😎 HGTV WORTHY ⛵️⛵️ Perfect Balcony View 7th Floor 🐬🐬

10/10 Excellent

"The condo was absolutely perfect! It is wonderfully decorated and so clean. It had everything that we needed. It has a perfect view of the pool and stunning view the beach. The unit has an assigned covered parking spot which was very nice. The hosts are super nice and very easy to communicate with. We had a couple of questions before and during our stay and they were very quick to respond. They even offer services to make special occasions memorable. They set up some very nice anniversary decorations for us. We would definitely stay here again."

Club Destin Condos

10/10 Excellent

"We had a wonderful stay at this hotel! The room was clean, comfortable, and welcoming, and the entire property was well-maintained. The staff was friendly, helpful, and made us feel right at home. Everything was convenient, and we really appreciated the attention to detail"

Wingate by Wyndham - Destin FL

10/10 Excellent

"Breakfast was great! I asked for an upgrade, and they said not available. That happens quite often. I would like to be able to get an upgrade every now and then especially since my husband uses Wyndham for his work travels. He is a loyal customer."

"Exactly what we expected and had a great time!"

Destin Inn and Suites

8/10 Good

"The room itself was clean. Asthetically there were a few flaws with the flooring/drywall/symmetry of the wall hangings. The only thing we had an issue wih was finding a quarter to get ice."

Incredible Ocean Views & Beach - The Heart of Destin Action - Walk to the Beach

10/10 Excellent

"Our stay at Terrace of Pelican, Room 803, was wonderful! From the moment we walked in, it felt welcoming. There was a thoughtful welcome note, snacks, a fresh smell, and everything was so clean. The beach towels, beach items, and little travel essentials people often forget made our stay even easier.The owners were amazing. They even messaged us about a seafood festival happening nearby and shared the dates and times so we could check it out. The room looked just like the photos, but the photos can’t capture the warm, home-like feeling our family enjoyed while we were there.Beach is only a quick walk across the parking lot. You walk to some of the most beautiful views in Destin. You absolutely cannot go wrong with this property!It’s a great place for a family vacation or a getaway. I would stay here 1,000 times over! Thank you for making our vacation stay top tier! "
