***LOCATION and PRICE****
We had a slight hiccup on the checkin process but communication was great so it was quickly remedied. The patio was not accessible for our stay which was disappointing. It is extremely convenient to everything in Destin and we felt safe and at home the two nights that we stayed here. Price was great!!! Highly recommend for a quick and casual beach trip.
