Beautiful Views
The condo unit was very nice with amazing views. The owners responded quickly. The property itself wasn’t as expected. Only 1 elevator was working and you would have long waits at times. Several gates were zip tied or chained that we should have been able to access so we couldn’t access the beach easily. The complex itself smelled of sewage. But overall we enjoyed our stay.

Great location
Wonderful location, loved the views. The room was advertised to look bigger than it actually was but it was still spacious enough. The furniture in the living room was uncomfortable. All batteries in the remotes were dead. Also countertop in the kitchen could use some repairs. Overall, great condo with excellent views and great parking accommodations. Also, close to all amenities.

Perfect getaway
First time booking with VRBO and I must say I’m impressed. Everything at our condo was fabulous and the quick responses from the property owner eased my anxiety. The condo definitely lived up to my expectations. It was quiet, relaxing and beautiful views helped decompress. Will always remember this vacation

Safe & Stuck
The property definitely felt safe due to all the different locks and codes. We could only unlock the car gate code & condo door but We had problems with all other gates we attempted to access(walkway, directly to property beach spot) we would stay again but we would like our own access (bombing other guest codes)

Beach condo
The property is at the end of a dead end. Quiet and right on the beach. The pool is nice. The condo is very nice and spacious. Beds are comfortable just note there are 2 twins one king. If you plan on cooking there are pans and such for that but no staples such as butter,
Oil, condiments, or spices or coffee. You will need to buy that.
The water taxi was not running due to wind issues maybe but it’s about a ten minute drive around to the other side of destin where all the restaurants are. About 20 minutes to Miramar, beautiful beaches there and swimming. Or take a boat out to crab island or another sandbar and swim there. Paddle board jet ski etc… very fun area with lots to do.

Nice Condo
We were there during an unplanned power outage, so our experience was not the norm. It would be unfair to use our experience to make a choice. However, the owner communicated consistently and kept us aware of all options. We agreed on compensation for the inconvenience and he was very fair.

Weather Bad Location Good
Nestled between Destin Pass and Destin Harbor this rental was in a quiet and remote location but still in close proximity to dining and shopping. The balcony was the perfect setting to watch the boats in and out of the harbor. A previous reviewer warned against the noisiness of the Harborwalk at night but it was never a problem for us. One of the elevators on our tower was undergoing maintenance while we were there but we never had to wait long for an elevator. There’s no public beach on the property but Norriego Point was just a short walk away and allowed our kids to swim when the larger public beaches were closed to swimming. The weather was a detriment to all our plans while we were here but we worked around it. There were a couple minor problems that we had to contact the property manager about but he always replied promptly and our issues were dealt with expeditiously.

Great Location and Service
Everything went exactly as planned with our trip and with this property. Had a blast with my buddies for the weekend. Great location, great balcony, beach, etc. Make sure you get a water taxi number (or Uber) and coordinate early to get across the bay to the party areas / bars (if you're into that kinda stuff). Awesome place though, worth every dollar.
