About the Community of Grand Caribbean East

A lovely and quaint vacation is calling your name at the three story condominium, the Grand Caribbean East. The Grand Caribbean East is arguably the most prime location in Destin- it’s close enough to where all the action takes place, but far enough away to not be caught up in it. Enjoy the amazing scenic views of the Gulf and beach, the lavish landscape that brings you into a tropical paradise, and the charm that attracts vacationers of all ages. The onsite pool is great to lay out or make a splash! The whirlpool spa hot tub is just begging for you to use after a long day of fun. Make your tasty BBQ dish on the community grill and dine on the conveniently located picnic tables. The condominiums also feature full kitchens for those looking to dine indoors. Onsite parking is always for packing, unpacking, and those that are always on the go during their vacation. With the beach easily within walking distance, the Grand Caribbean East is perfect for you. Amenities such as golf, tennis, biking, boating, water sports & more are available locally at additional costs.

Great location for a family trip and a quick walk across the road to the public beach access. Although, not super clean and did not have some of the necessary items to stay at this place (i.e. parking pass), overall was a great stay and good location. One thing though, my mother and father stayed right upstairs and was 10x as nice and clean. Would likely stay at this place again!

The property was just as described! Literally across the street from the beach, and when it got too hot, the pool with shaded areas was just right! We will be back for sure!!

Super place with easy access to the beach. Condo is in good condition and had a small need for maintenance and property company responded quickly and fixed the trouble immediate (shower drain). Will be visiting next year & booking here.

Our daughter got married on the Saturday of our stay. The rehearsal and wedding was at the beach directly across the street, so it was very useful to just be across the street for a few older family members to be able to wait until right before the wedding. It was a great place with beautiful views.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Very nice unit located on Scenic HWY 98 with cross street access to the beach. Property is well maintained and Manager is accessible. Easily sleeps 6 as bunk beds are a great added touch. Location provides a nice walking area and is close to some retail and churches. A new mattress and vacuum cleaner would be a good addition.

We have stayed in this condo before. It’s an easy walk to the beach. The only issue we had was the app didn’t update with the correct pool code so we were having to ask other guests for the code. The main bed is also really uncomfortable. The owners have made some nice updates with the other furniture in the room. I would suggest fixing the balcony door because it was hard for us to get it to work. We look forward to staying again!

The property was nice and a very short walk to the beach. The bedding was super comfortable especially after a long day on the beach. The convenience of the pool was wonderful. The only struggle was there was very limited cleaning amenities without purchasing your own. There was one trash bag provided in the kitchen and I did not want to purchase a case of trash bags. My other concern was the shower curtain was moldy. Over all the stay was fine.

Cable company were changing out boxes in the Condos and it would have been nice to have been informed about that before hand. Drains in bathroom sink and tub did not drain well at all. Beach chairs were old and rusty and needs to be replaced. Location was perfect and overall the stay was ok.

Property was very nice and as described. Booking was very easy and communication was amazing. Very close to all major events in the area and steps to beach. We felt safe and secure at this property. We stayed on the 2nd floor with no elevator but it wasn’t bad. Parking was easy and lot was well lit with easy access to dump trash as well as take shower after the beach. The outdoor furniture is ready to be updated but interior was clean and accommodating. The management company was on point for everything from check in to check out. Plus they provided beach chairs and toys for the littles. Saved us from having all that in tow. Thank you for a wonderful week!

Loved our stay. The condo was well equipped and well maintained. Rated this a 4 because: Did not receive our code via the app so had to make many calls and texts to get to the right person. It was 7pm so this was an oversight on the management’s part. The ice maker was not working and no ice trays so had to go buy ice. TV remotes barely worked - could be low batteries. Light over stove did not work. Would be nice if coffee filters were provided since only needed a few for our stay. But we would stay there again. Especially with the issues above addressed. Thank you!

We absolutely love this unit and the Grand Caribbean East property. This is our second time staying in this unit and we won't stay anywhere else in Destin. The unit is beautiful and cozy yet spacious and clean and has everything needed for a very comfortable stay. The balcony overlooks the pool and street traffic, providing an amazing view of the area. Since the unit is across from the beach you can also see and hear the water from the balcony. This unit has quick easy access to the beach and walking trail that is steps from the condo. No car is needed to go to the beach or to go for a walk/run. The property is also close to the main highway for quick and easy access to shopping and other Destin activities. This unit is also very kid friendly. We had our 4-year-old and 22-month-old with us and they loved this unit as well. They had a blast playing on the balcony and watching all the people and the sightseeing helicopter that flew by many times a day. The on sight amenities are also amazing. There is a pool that I've mentioned and a hot tub, grills, picnic tables, and easy parking. We highly recommend this unit.

My high school Senior was staying with friends for Spring Break in Destin and my husband and I thought we would "tag along" and stay nearby. We haven't been to Destin in ages and were pleasantly surprised! We had some of the best seafood that we've had in ages and there was plenty to do no matter your interests. We almost didn't say at this condo because of the negative review. But after staying here, I think it was completely unfair! It is not the owner's fault that a previous guest illegally smoked pot. And yes the pool chairs etc were in bad shape. If that is something that is important to you, I would bring your own. But the location was perfect and the beach was just across the street. For the price, it was a great value. The unit is nicely decorated and well stocked for it's size. As far as the pool and hot tub are concerned... there were times where is was very busy. There seemed to be a mix of family and young people. But there were a few owners that live there that were completely comfortable enforcing the 10PM rule. We never heard any loud noises after that the entire time we were there. I'm not sure the next time that Destin will be back on the list but I wouldn't hesitate to stay here again.

Access to the unit is in the back parking lot and there is no elevator, just stairs. Unit was clean and did the job as the majority of our time was exploring and being at the beach.

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The unit was nice. We believe the management company was unorganized. They threaten to fine you if the discount card in the unit is missing when you leave. Our unit did not have a discount card upon arrival, had to call about that. They threaten a fine if you do not have your dishes washing in the dishwasher when leaving. We could not get our dishwasher to work, had to call about that. They charge $170 cleaning fee to clean up after you leave, even though you take out the trash and get dishes in dishwasher. However, it would have been even better if they would have cleaned the unit prior to our arrival. Dust on surfaces, hair in tub, sink and bathroom floor. Hairs laying around make us very unhappy. We cleaned it up, as we had to. We may recommend this unit as it was modern and a nice location. If renting this unit we would advise to confirm with management that it gets cleaned prior to arrival and that they keep up their end of the bargain. They delivered the discount tag, but it was too late for us to use it, as we had a short stay.
