With fabulous views of the Gulf, the shared pool, and the shared hot tub, this condo is ready to welcome you to Destin. Located on the first level (not ground level), you can unwind into vacation mode enjoying the central air conditioning inside, or take refreshments out to the extended balcony.

The living room offers an electric fireplace to add heat on cooler nights or just to add some ambiance while sitting back enjoying family time. Younger guests will love the bunk room with ocean-themed decor and a Playstation 4 to be enjoyed. Every bedroom comes with its own television and ceiling fan, though guests staying in the main bedroom will enjoy a standalone shower and soaking tub in their en suite bathroom. Everyone can help cook up something tasty in the full kitchen, or you can take it out to the shared gas grill to add extra flavor.

The beach is just a short walk away. Don't forget to stop at The Back Porch for some crab legs once you arrive! Henderson Beach State Park offers clear waters with plenty of wildlife to observe (and fish to catch!) just one-and-a-half miles from the condo. Gator Beach (just under two miles from the condo) hosts free shows and exhibitions featuring one of Florida's most famous animals.

Unit 113

Overall the property was good. Big space. Comfy bedrooms. Great view. There were a few kitchen items I thought should come stocked we were missing which would have made cooking in the unit easier. For example: oven mitts. It was in a good location and easy/quick to get onto the beach.

July vacation

The only positive thing about our vacation was the location of the condo. It was very close, walking distance to the beach. The condo literally was “falling apart” and we heard other people on the beach talking about the same thing. Washer, dishwasher ice machine were falling apart. We asked HOA about extra trash bags and they said we had to buy our own, along with purchasing wrist bands for the pool at an additional 10 each. I would have thought they would have been included in the price like other condos we’ve stayed at. Security is another concern. Security guard was a little extra watching us like a hawk every move we made. It was a little too much and made us not want to be at the pool because of that reason. Overall, I wouldn’t stay here again.

Overall Good Pick

The location of this unit is perfect. Close to the elevator for loading/unloading or you can take the stairs one flight. The balcony views are hard to beat. It is close to the pool so, the noise can be disturbing but wasn't unbearable. The building is super close to the best restaurants and stores like Walmart and Publix. The property staff was very nice and accomodating. The unit is a spacious two bedroom which was nice. The owner should strongly consider updating the sofa and love seat as well as the shower and bath in the master bedroom.

A Great Time Being Together!

It was a great time being together on the beach. The view from our condo was so beautiful and only a very short walking distance to the beach. It was awesome and we can’t wait until our next stay at this condo!
