Everything was as described. The location was great and the walk to the beach was not bad at all.

Five stars overall, really enjoyed our stay. Listing was accurate, pool and beach access were great. Good overall location, beds were comfortable. Only minor complain was paper goods were not stocked for a family, so we ended up buying things I would consider included in stay, such as trash bags. (Only two bags for kitchen) would definitely consider staying again at this location. Thank you

It was just a short walk to the beach and the pool was right in front of the condo!! There was a BBQ grill and a full kitchen so we were able to cook most meals! It’s very close to great restaurants and a grocery store just across the street!

The townhouse was very well equipped. The walk to the beach was much farther than I expected. We did drive down to the next entrance to get closer and not have to walk but the traffic getting there and back was extremely heavy. The garbage disposal never worked and I reported it a day after we arrived. We did walk to the stores right by the townhome and ate at the Pancakery and at The Lone Wolf Pizza. Both very good. Never made it back to the candy store. The beach was beautiful as usual in Destin. Weather perfect every day. I would stay in these townhomes again but would choose one with ocean view.

The condo was everything that was expected and more. The location is great. The condo was in top shape. We really enjoyed the private beach and umbrella and chairs. The ocean was beautiful. We met many others staying in the complex and everyone was friendly. The boys fished and caught several fish. We will stay again!!!

Great place for our family of seven. Everything we needed was present and the beach is only a 5 min walk thru the complex. Property manager was great and communication was top notch.

My husband and I rented the townhouse for my 60th birthday. We invited 4 friends to stay with us. The townhouse was so clean and more than enough room for the 6 of us. There are a lot of bars, restaurants and grocery stores in the area to cover all your needs. I would suggest renting a car, however, so you can experience all the sights. You will also need a car if you plan on going grocery shopping. Also, the townhouse is closer to the pool than it is to the beach which we were fine with. The beach is about a 10 minute easy walk but if you are lugging a bunch of stuff, you may want to drive. We loved this place so much we hope to reserve it again next year. The Emerald Coast is stunningly beautiful and I would recommend this area and townhouse if you would like a nice, relaxing beach vacation.

This is a two story unit that is conveniently located between the beach and shopping. We didn't rent a car and honestly didn't need it, easy walk to the grocery store and any other needs. Everything was clean and necessities were available. I didn't see beach towels but we brought our own so it wasn't an issue for us. There are two chairs and an umbrella reserved on the beach for use - this was a great bonus! I think the distance to the beach is a bit misleading, it's a bit of a hike through the cimple if you have things to be out there for the day but

We were so impressed by this home. It had everything we needed for a comfortable stay with 6 young kids, and that's saying a lot. You really can just walk right out to the beach, and the pool is just steps from the door! I had lowered expectations because it's so affordable, but everything was perfect. Don't hesitate!

Overall, this was a very nice townhouse. The entire house was very clean except inside the coffee maker. It was to the point I would not make coffee in it. We didn't have any issue checking in or with the codes but the first night we arrived there was only half a roll of toilet paper in one of the bathrooms. The other two didn't have any. Instead of bothering the owner, we just went and bought our own. The next day, someone brought more toilet paper and towels and left them in a laundry basket on the dryer. I did not know anyone would have access to the home besides us during our stay so that was a bit of a surprise. This unit is located close to the pool which is very nice. It's also a short walk to the beach. You walk across a gorgeous lake with lots of turtles. The beach is beautiful! All in all, it was a really nice stay.

Clean and comfortable with responsive and accommodating owners
This was the perfect pick for our family! Well stocked, clean and accommodating. Right across from the pool and not too far of a walk to the beach. Close to the main road which also made it convenient for walking to the gift shops. Pancho was quick to respond when contacted with any questions.

This was the best vacation we've had and a great deal of that had to do with this property. Not only was the space clean and comfortable, we were directly across from a large clean pool and only about an 8 minute walk to the private beach area. Because of our stay here, we were given 2 free chairs and an umbrella every time we went to the beach. My sister came to spend the day with us and was able to rent the chairs next to us for her family as well. We had zero issues with the property, all the amenities worked perfectly, and we will definitely stay here again.

We traveled for Spring Break and wanted to try a new location. This townhome was an easy walk to a private residents’ beach which was amazing. The beach chairs were a nice bounds! The unit was clean, very well taken care of and had all the amenities of home. Unless you prefer a firm mattress to sleep on, this would be my only negative.
