The main bed was very comfortable. The only downside is that the shutters on the window into the hallway don't block the light well. The kitchen is good-sized with all necessary items stocked. The couch was okay, but not the most comfortable. Best part was the private balcony that looked out on the beach. The view was incredible. Fortunately, the balcony is set back and protected from the weather, so we were able to enjoy it even though the weather was cold and windy.

We only had an overnight stay and I was honestly glad. The condo was filthy and I would have been super upset if I was staying a week and having my son's young family (2 yr. old granddaughter) come over to visit me which lives in the area and is the reason for our vacation in Destin. Super glad a I booked another home for the remainder of our 10 day stay. I have supporting pictures to back up my statement of just how filthy the unit is. If the unit was to have a major cleaning it'd be an awesome stay.

We were not informed of the renovations going on, very loud. Nor were we informed that there would be no access to the balcony.

I have stayed at this location plenty of times and loved it. This time around I knew there would be some construction going on but I NEVER though it would be right on top of the master bedroom of this room. Got woken up horrifically at 7:51AM the first day. I couldn’t believe it. They said construction is allowed from 8am-6pm. The noise was so loud even the tv couldn’t mask it. I finally called to see about room change and they were helpful in getting it done. at 2 PM finally got a room on 14th floor. it was better but the noise was still there, not as loud. I think i read construction is till May 2024 so I highly don’t recommend staying until after. I will come back because this place has good amenities but not till construction is done.

We arrived around 4 pm. No issues with check-in. Staff was polite and helpful. Unit easily accessed with code. Unit was a bit dirty and we found medication on the dining table. Beach service is available but should be reserved in advance. Bring extra towels and wash clothes. Washer and dryer available near the unit but they are not clean. Parking available onsite was convenient.

Condo was okay ...be careful with the top bunk bed. The rail guard is level with the mattress so anyone can just roll off and fall

This is going to be long
Pros: I’ll start with the resort itself first. The location was perfect! The property is very secure. My husband and I felt safe the entire time we were on the property. The workers are nice. There is a cafe and tiki bar on-site. Both are great! Beware ice for coolers are scarce. Once they are out, they don’t get anymore until the next day. This is the second time we’ve stayed at this resort and the first time with this owner. Now the condo itself. The view from the balcony is beautiful! This condo is on the 5th floor and the pool is right below. It closes at 5 so there isn’t any noise at night. I pleasantly surprised to see there was no carpet in the condo even though the pictures show there is.
Cons: The condo floor was covered in sand when we got there. I know it’s hard to get it all but the other condos we’ve stayed in, the floor was much cleaner. The shower head in the master bath is disgusting, there is mold on it. Gross. If you are tall, you’ll have to squat down some to use the shower head. My husband is 6’2 and had to use the other bathroom because he couldn’t stand the other shower. There was hair in the sink and on the counter when we got there. Also gross. When they say they don’t supply much, they mean it. 2 trash bags in the place, one roll of paper towels, no salt or pepper, no scissors, barely any dishes, and no extra blankets. The quilt on the master bed is very thin. The couch is not comfortable and very small. The balcony furniture is very low to the ground so you’re staring through the rails the whole time you sit out there. I had a question about check in and I sent a message 6 hours before we were set to arrive and didn’t get a response from the owner until like 3 days later so that was very annoying. Not good communication at all. When we first got there, the refrigerator was not very cold. I’m not sure if they unplug it and then plug it back up when a new renter is coming. Either way it took 4 hours before it was actually a good temperature for a fridge.
The next time we come to Destin, we will be going through a private owner and not a company owner. Our experience with a private owner was much better than this one unfortunately.

The room was very big and beautiful. The shower curtains were a little stained and the floors were a little bit sandy, but it is the beach so that was expected. Overall great place to stay and the views were amazing!

Great view. Condo was very nice. Did not use beach service as you have to reserve it well in advance to get a spot close to the water. Used our own chairs and umbrella ans saved money but was required to stay behind the beach service chairs. Tiki bar on beach was very nice. Overall a very nice stay.

We’ll definitely be back. The host was so responsive and helpful. The resort itself has such an amazing family friendly vibe. Everyone was so nice and playful. The views can’t be beat. We saw dolphins, turtles, and several stingrays. We booked a chair service so we didn’t even have to bring chairs down to the water. Drinks and food can be ordered from the cafe and brought right to you. The pools are heated and our kids had an absolute blast.

My family and I stayed for just a weekend. We really appreciated that this place has multiple pools and even a cafe on property. Security was tight. You have to check in at the gate upon arriving and the front desk hands you a FOUR PAGE document of rules you must follow. There are placards posted everywhere about all the rules as well. I guess a lot of out of control people visit this place but we had no issues. I rated the condo itself 4 stars because there are minimal amenities provided inside the condo. Absolutely no food items (salt, pepper, cooking spray, coffee filters) and the sofa bed bedding didn't even come with a comforter, only a set of sheets. There were also no additional throw blankets, only 2 garbage bags, no beach chairs or beach towels. I wanted to inquire about the beach chairs and the type of coffee maker in the unit prior to our visit but had no contact information for our actual host. For the record, no there are no beach towels to use or beach chairs and the coffee maker is your standard drip coffee pot (not a Keurig) and make sure to bring your coffee filters when you come!
