We were very satisfied with the unit we stayed in. It was comfortable and very clean. All of the appliances and the air conditioning worked as they were supposed to. The view from our balcony was great. I would highly recommend staying in this unit.

Clean condo and complex. Great location, beach service is a plus! Bed in 2nd bedroom is full size, not queen.

8/10

Property was clean. Very spacious. Being above the pool was a little loud but it was a last minute rental. The master toilet flush would get hung so had to constantly go back & jiggle the handle to get water to stop running. Door code didn’t work on our last day & had to call to get a new code but mngmnt picked right up. All in all a good short stay at the beach.

Considering what you’d pay for a single hotel room, this two bedroom with a kitchen is much better. Second floor was nice because, rather than having to take one of the two elevators up and down each time we left, we took the stairs. The floors were clean and there were plenty of extra towels. The beach is close and the pool is perfect size. Complex was quiet which was good for having brought my wife and 3 kids. I would definitely stay here again. Having 2 beach chairs and an umbrella was nice so that we didn’t have to carry that back and forth.

8/10

Overall this was a great room. Had everything that was advertised. Great location for anyone that wants immediate beach access. Easy access to property and room. Everything provided remotely so you can get in the room immediately after check-in. Two chairs and an umbrella were included, which was greatly appreciated and was used multiple times throughout the week. Was perfect location for a beach wedding since public access is right next door. Only issue was a foul smell from the dishwasher and sink. Pipes need to be cleaned. Small items to note is that one trash can did not have a lid and the other had a broken lid. Also note that main bedroom gets flooded by pool lights all night long so don’t pick this one if you are sensitive to light when sleeping. With that being said, we would stay at this property and in this room again.

The views are amazing. We love being at beach with an ocean view. We love having our morning coffee and watching for the dolphins passing by. Unfortunately when we arrived we had a couple of issues with the condo. The first and biggest problem was the master bedroom bed was broken in the middle. After several phone calls they were sending someone out to fix it. Later that night a called them to inquire about our request and they told us it was rescheduled for tomorrow. It would of be nice to receive that information but we did not. After making other sleeping arrangements for the night they showed up and fixed the problem. The second issue was not as big of an deal. We had a couple of pans that had baked on food left on them and placed back in the cupboards. We were not able to contact anyone in house cleaning to remedy this problem so we bought our own scouring pads and cleaned them ourselves. One thing we would recommend to other guests is that if you bring small children with you you will need to have your own plastic table service for them. We had many mixed dishes but nothing suitable for children. Everything supplied was breakable and that explains the mix match dishes.

When booking this trip we cancelled our first room because there was no balcony access do to some construction. I communicated with the owner to make sure that we would have access to the balcony in this room. I was told that wouldn't be a problem. We arrived on the date of check in, there was construction going on all over the property. Very noisy, the condo we were given was not the condo we booked and the balcony was closed. I called to check on the reasoning for that, he said it was owner discretion and he said that typically meant they were staying in it. I don't have a clue if that was the reason but the whole situation was frustrating because we specifically requested we have a balcony that was accessible. This property had way too much construction going on to be staying in it for the price we paid. Had I known there was that much construction we wouldn't have chosen that property to begin with. The young man at the front desk was amazing. He immediately found us another property up the street that fit our needs and had it ready to go within a few hours. The transition was a bit of a pain, since we had already purchased groceries and such but we made it work and the switch was well worth it. This was my first time using VRBO and I was not impressed. I feel like they had more fees than just contacting a property and booking right from them. I will definitely be doing a lot more research from now one before booking anything.

We really enjoyed our stay! It was a great location right on the beach with beautiful views. The unit and property were clean and quiet. The only noise was from people at the pool which is directly below the unit so when you are in the unit you will hear people at pool; but we were out at the beach or gone most of the time, plus pool closed at 10:00, so no big deal. The unit had everything necessary in the kitchen for cooking/eating but could use a few more spoons, as there were only 4 small teaspoons. The unit was clean and nice, but it could use a few minor repairs…a little water damage around shower wall, dated/old bathroom fixtures, baseboards need repainting in some areas, corners of walls a little beat up in higher traffic areas, etc…But overall a great condo for the price. Another fun plus was the pickleball/tennis court, as our kids love playing pickleball. We were also very pleased with the communication from rental company. They sent several messages making sure everything was ok. Overall we had a wonderful stay! Would definitely stay here again.

This product was perfect for our girls' trip (there were 4 of us)! Right on the beach, right over the pool, super easy access to everything! We'll definitely rent this condo again.

Loved being able to sit on the balcony and watch the waves! Places we have been before were nice but not this close to the beach. Just walk outside and there you are on the beach. Chairs and umbrellas included. Great restaurants around from local to chains.

Beautiful room, perfect location. Would definitely book again. Thank you!

This was our 14th visit to the Destin/Ft Walton area. We have stayed in many different condos over the years. This one met our needs perfectly, providing the space we needed, as well as a beautiful ocean view. We were on the second floor above the pool, which initially concerned me due to worrying about the noise from the pool area. But we could not hear anything when inside the condo. We would definitely return to this condo.
