This villa was clean, and an excellent location to the pool at The Palms of Destin Resort (directly across from pool with direct access). Kitchen had all we needed to cook for a family of 5. They also have an outdoor sitting area that we enjoyed using every morning and evening. It was a nice and relaxing stay!

Decent stay!
The place is gorgeous and amenities were awesome. Hosts were wonderful.
I do recommend asking them beforehand to offer extra blankets, pillows, and towels for your guest count as we planned for 5 guests and had no blankets for the futon they promoted and just barely enough towels.
Otherwise I highly recommend!

Amazing Getaway
The resort is amazing. The amenities are awesome, especially the pool options! The only downside would be access to the beach as there wasn’t many for the public just across the street so you would have to go to another area or wait until after 5pm. However, the resort is in prime location to shopping, restaurants, rentals, etc. I also wish we had access to the pantry inside the villa. Overall, we had a blast. We will definitely be back!

Overall the property was nice, the Palms itself could use to update the grills and playground area. The room was as expected and very nice. I was confused that there were no extra sheets etc. as it was specified as four beds in total. There is a futon, and the couch which also is large for a bed. We went and bought blankets for them as when I asked they said it’s only two beds and a futon. The manager did reach out and offer to help after I purchased so I didn’t take them up on that.
I did also like I could leave my unopened items for housekeeping as donation! The food at the property was really good! Pool was great! The room was clean and in great condition.
Overall, the room was very nice and had everything we needed minus the above. The rooms location was really nice as it was right near the pool (no sound when doors are closed) which makes it nice for kids needing the restroom. I think an extra set of linens provided would benefit greatly, and a mirror in the smaller bedroom with the king bed since there is not an attached bathroom. The live music and bar was great and the mermaid at the pool and pirate show were greatly enjoyed!

Beautiful Villa and great location
The Villa was beautiful and clean! We had a wonderful stay and would recommend this unit to family and friends! The only downfall was the shuttle only runs Wednesday thru Sunday and has specific times and locations so don't plan on it being your source for getting around unless you want to go by their specific schedule.
