PERFECT SPOT
Despite the comments in the following paragraph about the beach service, this condo ranks near the top of the condos we've stayed at in Destin. While it's not the largest property we've ever rented, the location is great; it's just the right size for 4 people, and the balcony view cannot be beat. With only 3 units on each floor, the property isn't overly crowded and every room has a Gulf view. The condo is clean and well-decorated, and the kitchen well-stocked. The one drawback is beachside - BE FOREWARNED. The reason the rating received four stars is because of the beach service. (The situation was frustrating enough to give 3 stars, but I felt that was overkill.) The condo property has contracted with a beach chair/umbrella service that sets up in front of the condo daily. If you bring your own chairs & umbrellas, you cannot set them in front of the beach service which means you get a backside view of the people in front of you, and get to peak through the wall of people to the water. Furthermore, do not bother bringing a "shabumi shade" tent because they will make you remove it. The condo properties buffering Destin Towers will not allow you to set up on "their beach" -- in fact, you're not even allowed to walk on it without one of their wrist bands. It's really ridiculous. The beach service runs about 100/day for 2 chairs and 1 umbrella - so they are making a mint.
