The townhouse was so clean! We had a great time. The location is right by the gate to get into the pool and just a few minute walk to the beach.
The property is a convenient part of Destin
Both the owner and property manager were quick to respond.
We would stay there again!

Condo was perfect for our Destin fishing trip! Looked as cute and clean as pictures advertised. Kitchen had everything we needed to cook our fresh catch of the day . 🎣🐠
Beautiful private beach just steps away with chairs / umbrella to enjoy. Hope to visit and stay in #68 again!

The location of this rental is probably the best attribute. You are a short walk (200 yards) from a private beach with umbrella service included. The pool is directly outside the door. Within Destin, you are a within a mile of almost anything you would want to do in Destin including groceries, restaurants, theme parks, etc. The only challenge is locating the property the first time as they have another residential complex with a gate box on the way to this property and we were confused for about 10 minutes.
If you stay at this property, please note that they have 6 beach towels that you can use. They also have several inflatables in the closet with the beach toys. You should not need to purchase or bring anything for the beach. The unit was very clean and the instructions were clear. We would rent the same unit again!

We had 4 adults and 3 young children in the condo and we felt very comfortable. The rooms are a good size for the amount of time you spend in them. The kitchen has all the essential small appliances and is well equipped. This is our 3rd year to stay in the condo and we'll be back next year!

This condo was perfect for our stay! The beach was truly only a short walk. The beach service was a great added service. The unit was beautifully decorated and very clean. The boys loved the pickle ball court. I personally loved the well equipped kitchen. It had everything that we needed that made for quick meal prep. We hope to be back in the future.

This rental was perfect for a family! Everything was so clean and nice. The kitchen is fully stocked with everything you could need! Our children really enjoyed having the pool right off the back patio! The beach is just a quick 3ish minute walk which was absolutely perfect. The location was perfect and such a nice neighborhood. We would absolutely love to stay here again next family vacation :)

Our family loved our week-long stay at this condo. It had all the basic amenities and plenty of room for our family of 5. You cannot beat the access to the pool (the gate is literally 3 feet from the patio), or the 2 minute walk to the private beach where you always have an umbrella a two chairs waiting. The complex itself is centrally located on Harbor Blvd (US-98) so you are not more than a 15 minute drive from any Destin-destination. You are right across the street from the Target and Winn-Dixie for the basic needs for your stay. One aspect that was very fun for us was the lake in the complex, where you can stand on the bridge and feed the turtles. Our kids LOVED it!!!
The host, Kellie, was very accessible and easy to communicate with. She helped us with our check-in time and explained all the house instructions and rules very clearly.
The only issue we had was the cleanliness of the floors upon our arrival (our bare feet were dirty/grimy after a few minutes). Our first night we re-cleaned them ourselves, as we have a preschooler and a toddler who play on the floor and a crawling baby. It wasn't anything we felt the need to contact the caretaker about, and we took it upon ourselves as right now we are hyper-sensitive to floors because of the kids. Also, it's a beach house and we appreciate the challenges that come with keeping it "pristine" for renters. Everything else was spotless (bathrooms, kitchen, fridge, etc.).
We 100% would stay here again, and could even envision making it a tradition and coming annually with the family as they grow. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

This was our families first trip to Destin and the beach house was very clean and accommodating to our needs. We will definitely be coming back!

All the conveniences were there. Clean and nicely decorated. Pillows and beds weren't super comfortable, suggest bringing pillows for sure. Equipped kitchen allowed us to cook nice meals at night. Only drawbacks were the Wi-Fi was weak (problematic when little ones like to stream shows before bed or you need to take a work meeting). We would definitely book again.
