Best host ever!
The location was wonderful. The condo was BEAUTIFUL. Most importantly, the constant communication between myself and the host was the best in my experience with VRBO. Please don’t book this condo….we need it available for us! ❤️

Wonderful Home
We were in town for a baseball tournament and this property absolutely delivered on meeting our needs and expectations. Condo itself was well put together and very cozy. Location was great, property amenities were wonderful and we enjoyed utilizing the bell hop and valet services. Food at the Palms Bistro had good food and drinks so it made it easy to never leave the property.

Wonderful Family Florida Vacation
This was my Family's first time to vacation in Florida and rent a Condo. This property was amazing in so many ways and would highly recommend it for a Family vacation! The condo itself was spacious, comfortable beds, clean, and amazing beautiful views from balcony! The owners were very kind, resourceful, and responded in timely manner from time of booking, to check-in, during stay, and check-out. The place is close to many different amenities, beach, and activities. The coffee house, restaurant, and bar were great and staff was very kind and friendly. We stayed in December so pools were not open, but the hot tub was relaxing and great way to warmup. Would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a relaxing fun vacation time in Destin! If we go back to Destin for a vacation, I will look at going back to this property!

Perfect condo at The Palms
We've stayed at The Palms before but this visit was by far the best due to the size and quality of this condo. Plenty of space for our family of 5 to stretch out. Great amenities. Beautiful condo. Highly recommend.

Nice complex, but unit not worth the price
The cost was too much for the property. The room was dirty upon arrival, obviously not fully cleaned from the prior guests. The dresser was sticky, bathroom was dirty with a dirty/hard towel still in the shower. Master bedroom curtain was broken. Stove knob broken. Towel rack in bathroom broken and kept falling off the wall. Sand still on the floor from prior guests. Zero blankets in the room. Sink stopper broken in master. Dirty food residue and trash under the couch and in the cushions. There wasn’t soap in the bathrooms. There was not enough dishes or cookware. Master bed was hard as a rock! The view was nice from the balcony though one of the recliners that were advertised was broken on the porch. Porch table is very wobbly and unsteady, with the rug underneath constantly bunching up.
