The property was clean and we'll maintained. We were overly impressed with the little amenities we didn't realize we would need. Friends staying in same complex didn't have things like a dust pan to pick up all the sand. Or a toaster! The view was gorgeous. Mike was amazing to communicate with. He answered all our questions and made the entire experience seamless!

Perfect weekend getaway!

PRIME location, beach access across the street, comfortable fit for my family if 4. Front door to unlock is tricky, we were successful on getting inside but not really sure how we did it. Recommend bringing a griddle or additional pans to cook with, if cooking for more than 2 people. Not a complaint just a suggestion.

This condo is on the second floor which gives you a great view of the Gulf and setting sun in the afternoon. Across the road is public beach with restrooms and a lifeguard. Also, Pompano Joes is about a block from the condo. There are also restaurants close by some within walking distance. There is a pool, hot tub and parking. All in all we had a great time.

First time in Destin!

This was our first time in Destin and it was beautiful! Beaches were great the condo was close by to a lot of great restaurants, shops, a bike path and the beach itself. We enjoyed our time here and our family stayed in separate condos close by so it was great walking distance to meet up with them for beach time. Thanks for being great hosts and opening up your home to us!

A GLIMPSE OF HEAVEN

All I can say is WOW, THANK YOU for allowing Edward and I to enjoy your BEAUTIFUL home away from home. The description does not do it justice. From the check-in process which was simply simple to the departure check out process, EVERYTHING was well thought of and informative. The BEST part of it all was the VIEW of the beach right from the balcony. From the rising of the sun to the going down of it as well, the view was breathtaking. We truly enjoyed our moment in Destin and will be returning real soon. Once again THANK YOU both for everything.

Great property

The Check in process was great. Mike is easy to get into touch with but there will be no need to contact…. The place has everything you need. Great location for pompanos joes food and deliveries. I sat on the balcony and could watch my kid swim in the pool and listen to the waves at night after the cars stopped passing by. There is Enough room and space for a small family to spread out with privacy but be close enough to be bothered. There is enough chairs and umbrellas that you could borrow. And he also has board games and a small Nintendo gaming console for the kids to keep them occupied. He thought of it all. I would definitely stay here again.

Summerspell never disappoints!

We had a wonderful family vacation at Summerspell 202. The condo was clean and well stocked. Everything worked the way it should. This was the perfect space for 3 adults and 2 kids. The view was great and the condo is in a perfect location! The condo is well stocked with not only items you need to live for the week but with all the things you need for the beach as well including chairs and an umbrella. No need to pack beach or pool toys because 202 has those too! Highly recommend!

It was nice

The property itself was nice, it was in a nice location and had he promised plus, some beach chairs we could use down on the beach. My only complaint is the room number wasn't on the description so we had to walk around looking for this fake room number they put on the pass and then the wifi password they said to use was wrong, which would have not mattered if the service in the room didn't suck. Overall I had good stay and I would recommend this place, just with a few warnings first.
