Very spacious and clean. We stayed for five days and had a great time! Just a five minute walk to a private section of the Destin beach, which really makes a huge difference in the level of enjoyment of the beach. A larger dinner table would truly be my only suggestion for improvement. Had a wonderful time and very thankful for this property.

Not as described!

I talked to the property manager one time to ask for early check in. That was granted. The location to the beach was the best part of the stay. The air b and b smelled old or musty. The air b and b does NOT sleep 9. The bunk bed squeaked and shaked every little move. The pots look old and like you are not going to cook in them. The blinds were destroyed upstairs and downstairs, so essentially the air b and b was open. Again the best part was the location to the beach other than that not worth the money we spent.

Nice and easy

The condo was smaller then I thought but I blame the mirrors lol. I was able to communicate with ms. Tiffany easily if I needed she answered right away. And we had no issues at all while we where there. Would definitely rent again in the future. My kids enjoyed the stay and one of them barely left.

La ubicación es buena

La ubicación está en buena área, y es cómoda pero la casa no estaba del todo limpia, las sábanas de la King bedroom estaban sucias y el fauce flojo, la tina de el otro cuarto también estaba sucio, la secadora de ropa no funcino y además las literas estaban muy flojas con miedo de que en cualquier momento se caigan .. la alberca de la propiedad siempre estuvo cerrada por cuestiones de salubridad y nuestros niños nunca la pudieron disfrutar algo que estaba incluido en el contrato.

Review

Overall it was a great stay. The dryer did not work properly, so it was frustrating. The property manager did try to take care of things, but it still did not get hot. It was farther from the beach, or so it seemed than the listing indicated. But it is private beach access and that was very nice. The picture of the balcony over the bay is for another unit. This unit is up front so there is no bay view from the condo.

Everything was great but the appliances

The location was great and very convenient. But we had trouble with the stove, microwave and dryer. We had to eat out every night because the stove did not work properly and the dryer took 3 cycles to dryer a half load of clothes. I only let the property owner know one time the stove did not work. I should have stayed in constant contact with the property manager. We thought they would take care of us but did not.

Not the best stay

The minute we walked in noticed the following: 1. Stains in couches 2. Struggle to open back door, which had a ton of oil on bottom. 3. Stove did not work until day before leaving. It turned out to be plug. 4. Bottom box spring in one room sheet was dirty, but that was acceptable. 5. Saw 2 roaches, one at 2am, and waking to to that in room was not pleasant. I know this is common in fla, but never had issue previously. 6. The owner offered to let us leave through part of stay, but we couldn't find anything. Tiffany was responsive, but I felt like stove/cleanliness issue could have been handled better. We lost food. 7. Curtain in room sort of facing ocean was so light that when sun came up I woke up. 8. Brochure talked about us doing some straightening up before leaving, but we paid 250 for that. We did clean towels, and left neat anyway. 9. The faucet was still broken from a previous review complaint.

GREAT STAY ! Best Place to stay

Tiffany was an outstanding host, her home was beautiful and in the heart of everything fun. I will continue to book this specific home for every vacation in Destin. It slept 8 of us comfortably and the neighbors are very friendly as well. It can be booked for an relaxing getaway or a fun filled getaway with the kids.

It was ok

There was a few things that could have been better. The faucet upstairs was so loose it felt like it was going to come off. The garbage disposal quit working. I thought the beds were bigger but that may be just me and I also thought we would have a view of the bay.

Perfect place for families

Me, my husband and 2 kids plus my sister, her husband, and her 3 kids stayed here. We loved the location, it was quiet and close enough to the beach we walked there daily. The kids liked having the pool close by as well for the evening swim. The beds were super comfortable and the pillows, I so badly wanted to bring them home with me. It’s very close to a lot of things to do in the area and lots of great places to eat, the longest drive we had was 10 minutes. Highly recommend this place and if we come back to Destin I’ll definitely try to book here again.

Great for family!

We spent a week at this property and only had a couple minor issues that were taken of within 48hrs. This home is so centrally located and in the middle of everything to do, but tucked away in a nice quiet neighborhood. Plus LOTS of towels to include beach and bath!!! We loved that! The only negative thing is that the beds that are listed are not the beds that are in the bedrooms. They are more full size, not king and queen. Also, the kitchen pots and pans could be updated since they are rusty, and the Teflon is peeling off. Other than that it was a wonderful home and we created some great memories! And would definitely rent from Tiffany again! She is GREAT!

Peaceful Getaway

My husband and I wanted a peaceful getaway where we could study, read, and write. Since we don’t lay on the beach, being next to the water without being beachfront was the perfect solution for us. Tiffany was quick to respond and extremely helpful, making the business side of the vacation smooth and uneventful.
