College Roommates Grad Trip

We had a great time. The view was so pretty. The lazy river was so nice. My daughter and her 3 roommates just graduated from Mississippi State this past weekend and we wanted them to have a one last trip together to relax before they go in different directions in life. They had a great time. The condo was very nice and roomy and the hot tub on the balcony was throughly enjoyed. The condo had everything thing we needed in the kitchen. It was well stocked! Great trip!

Family Vacation

Beautiful condo, perfect location with a quiet view, and so many memories made. 3 kids spent sooooo much time swimming in the heated pools that our youngest went from never putting his head under to swimming underwater by the end of the trip. Loved being able to walk over the skywalk to the beach side. Loved the sea lion and dolphin shows at the nearby Gulfarium. Looking forward to a return trip!

Great stay over New Year's

We had a great time at the unit, which was huge and just fantastic. We loved the hot tub and the amenities, which we got good use out of, even though it is winter. We were really pleased with the location, and it was just beautiful being on the water, a short walk across from the ocean, and close to my wife's family in Fort Walton.

Family Christmas Vacay

The property was very clean and cozy. We enjoyed the view of the Gulf. We saw dolphins swimming by a few days out of our stay. Sam the squirrel stopped by the last couple of days, and Tom the cat decided to pull guard for us during our last night We will definitely return to this property, perhaps during spring break or summer vacation.

We loved this condo! It was clean, spacious, plenty of room for our family or 6, and you can not beat the view of the bay from the bedroom window and the balcony! The hot tub was also a huge bonus! We would not want to stay anywhere else for any future trips to Destin!

Check in was easy. They even messaged us to say our unit was ready early! The condo is gorgeous. The views of the bay are beautiful. Walking next door to grab dinner and drinks was amazing. The pools are so fun and you will love coming back to your condo to your own hot tub! We loved every minute.

Family Getaway

This was our 2nd stay at this resort. We wanted to have this condo last year but was booked. We booked early this year and got it. The view is the best of the bay and the most amazing sunsets. We had 6 people in our group young kids to seniors. We all enjoyed it! There was everything we needed in the condo. Very clean, comfortable beds, and loved the hot tub in the evenings. Great communication between the host. We would love to stay again!

Great place to stay with lots of room for our two families, 4 adults and 3 kids. We were impressed by the amout of space. The balcony with hottub had a nice view of the bay and the beach was a 5 minute drive. Close to all of the shops and restaurants also. The condo was stocked with everything we needed including a pack-n-play for our little one. The place was very clean and overall a great place. We will stay there again if we come back to the area.
