We were looking to spend about a week in Destin, FL and we came across Lisa's property right after she posted it as a new listing on VRBO. We contacted her and she was very prompt in replying and very accomodating, especially considering the last minute dates we had picked. Lisa stayed connected with us throughout the booking and check in process as well as check out process, all of which went very smooth. When we arrived at the property, everything was as described and as pictured on VRBO. We truly enjoyed spending our week at Lisa's place - it had everything we needed and wanted: private beach access, gated entry, multiple pools to choose from, tennis courts, golf, and close proximity to Crab Island and Harbor, as well as grocery stores, coffee shops (highly recommend Capriccio Italian coffee) and restaurants near by. It also had fully stocked kitchen (with filtered water available), balcony with seating and a sleeper sofa. Outside closet was stocked with beach chairs, umbrella, tennis racquets and golf equipment, as well as a wagon - all of which was very handy. The interior of the unit was very inviting, clean and well- appointed. Even thou it is a 1 bedroom only unit, it worked out perfect for the 3 of us, as the living room sofa turns into a queen size bed and the bathroom is a nice size with large tub. Both sofa bed and king size bed in bedroom had very comfortable mattresses. We truly enjoyed our stay and would not hesitate to stay at Lisa's property again! The only thing we regret is that we couldn't stay longer...Thank you Lisa for opening up your condo to us! We had a phenomenal time and are looking forward to coming back some day, hopefully soon :)
FYI :
- there is a restaurant on site (we havent tried it, but it has amazing views)
- there is water taxi operating from the restaurant that can take you to the Harbor for a fee
- for those wondering about the proximity to the beach from the unit- it is definitely walkable, altough the unit is located towards the back of the property. We walked to the beach and back each time with no problem (but we do normally walk a lot). However, if you're not into walking, you can drive your car into the private parking at the beach (provided there is a spot available).
- parking for the unit is not reserved (its on first come, first serve basis), but we did not encounter any issues finding a spot during our stay.
- bring extra paper towel, toilet paper and toiletries just in case.
