The condo has the hardwood-looking tile throughout along with new paint. It is decorated with soothing coastal blues and tans. The kitchen has granite countertops and stainless steel appliances.

Loved everything about this place

Communication was great. When we arrived, our first impression was how beautifully decorated it was and how tidy and clean everything was. The location is perfection. We were close to restaurants and stores. This condo building is wonderful because it isn’t a high rise, so the private beach and pool were never super crowded. The beds were comfy, the water pressure was great (which is so important when washing sand and salt out of hair!). The kitchen was well stocked. The provided beach towels to use were a nice/convenient touch. We will plan to stay here again!

My husband and I just spent the week in this beautiful condo. We enjoyed everything about it! The furniture and bed was very comfy and they are very generous with the towels and wash cloths.The location was very convenient to the elevator and has a prime spot in the parking g garage. Our host, Stacey was very professional and gracious! She was even able to get us into the condo a little early! She was very prompt in returning my text! I would definitely recommend this lovely condo to anyone!

The most wonderful owner on VRBO - Stacey!

We missed our first night due to the impending Hurricaine Milton in FLorida. On what was to be day 2 of our stay - we decided to evacuate and take advantage of the rest of the vacation we had already paid for, since Milton was coming right toward us. The unit was beautiful and clean! And then there's Stacey the owner - I dont have enough room to tell you how great she is. Knowing we were very concerned about the hurricaine, she made every effort to reach out and make sure everythig was ok and that WE were ok. The other person deserving priase is Elizabeth in the office - again, anything we needed she was on it! I will rent this unit again, and again. THe beach is beautiful and the building is well kept - the pool is beautiful. Not staying anywhere else in Destin!!! This is it!

Exactly like the photos!

This booking was extremely easy and convenient! Very convenient location to lots of local restaurants and shops, as well as the condo itself was conveniently located near the elevator and parking spot. The condo was absolutely beautiful and perfect to unwind and relax. The pool/hot tub area was very nice as well to relax after a day at the beach. Having the beach chairs and umbrella included was a very nice touch, it made it hard for us to want to leave the gorgeous beach! Our host was very friendly and responsive which put us at ease in case we may have any questions during our stay. It was overall a very relaxing and chill vacation and we will definitely be booking again for future vacations!!

Beautiful Location

First time in Destin and first time using VRBO. Location was great, lots of activities close by, easy check in and perfect parking in the garage. The condo does need a little tlc though. The mattresses were well worn, the main shower was a challenge to get into and the shower heads almost took my skin off. It also would not be amiss to have extra paper products in the bathrooms.

Well kept, Beautiful, Updated. Perfect location

The pictures are 100% accurate. A VERY clean well kept unit (211). Great view and the entire property was so clean and maintained very well. So convenient to get to the pool and beach - great perk having chairs and umbrella as well. I don't think you can beat the location either. Less than 10 minutes from the best restaurants (Boshamps, McGuires, The Back Porch, and Lulu's). The ease of getting around was amazing. Great balcony where we had coffee every morning enjoying the view of the beach and pool. The private stretch of the beach was also pristine, well kept, and CLEAN!! We would love to stay here again. This property just had everything going for it . The owner was also super responsive, and easy to work with. Entering and exiting the property was also a breeze -- not to mention the great parking spot in the garage so close to the stairs and elevator and pool/beach entrance. Oh! and it was so quiet too...Hands down the BEST property I've ever stayed at.

Beautiful views and very convenient location

Our family loved the beachfront view and the ease of access. The pool and hot tub were great. The condo was located close to the grocery stores and walking distance from restaurants (The Back Porch was awesome) and several souvenir shops and we also took advantage of the grills in the common area and stopped by Blalocks Seafood Market which was very close also for some fresh shrimp to grill. We had a blast and looking forward to our next stay. We planned on walking to Big Kahunas…but that will have to wait until next time as we spent all our time at the beach or the pool. The balcony was a great place for a cup of coffee in the morning to watch the sunrise too.

Great spot

The condo was beautiful and well taken care of, the location was great and it was wonderful to be right on the beach. Check-in process was easy and we had no issues with our stay. The only constructive criticism I have is the temperature of the pool. The pool water was hot, and the hot tub was unbearable. After a long day at the beach, a cold pool to cool off in is great. However, I understand it’s on the beach and the sun heats the water considerably, and I don’t have experience taking care of pools so maybe it’s inevitable that the water reaches that temperature at this time of the year (July). Other than that very minor criticism, everything was incredible. Highly recommend the condo!

Nice condo in a Low traffic complex

Condo was as described in listing. Stacey was quick to respond to an issue we had the first day. Lower rise complex with less units made for quick access to elevators and being on the second floor made it easy to use stairs as well (2 flights to Ground floor to access pool & beach). Property was well maintained. Gym was quite small but well maintained and served the purpose for a quick workout during vacation. Gate codes to beach and pool and onsite security ensured access only to those staying at the complex. We used the grills twice and they were in good condition and situated where you can see the ocean and feel the breeze while cooking. Parking was easy in the assigned spot that is perfectly located at the garage entrance. Balcony was larger than most and enough for all 4 of our family to sit. Kitchen had everything needed. A few things that could be improved: Check in process. While wasn’t a big deal, I’d rather not have to visit the office to get park pass and pool wristbands. All other places I’ve stayed had these ready and waiting in the condo upon arrival. Shower/tubs were skipped in the renovation of the condo. They were functional: clean, good water pressure, and drained well. However they are old and discolored. Would love to see these tiled with glass doors instead of gross shower curtains. Curtains in the bedrooms are sheer and allow the hallway lights in all night. Need thicker curtains or a blackout liner applied to existing curtain.

Great condo

Overall, this was a great place to stay and Stacey was a great host. I would definitely stay here again. There were a few minor things that housekeeping could have done better (like the front load washer seal needed cleaning which I did myself before using), but nothing too bad. The condo requires a separate fee of $15 per person for wristbands, which I don't think was listed when I booked but has since been updated. I'm not sure if this is standard with other condos as well. The condo was beautiful and tastefully decorated with a great view of the pool and the ocean. Stacey was pretty responsive when I messaged her. I loved that this condo came with a covered parking place and 2 beach chairs and we thought this was probably the best stretch of beach too.

April 2024 stay

Mattresses in both bedrooms were uncomfortable, probably old, no cushion support at all. Bath tub in master bath needed to be cleaned better, I wiped it down myself; possibly needs replaced because it has stains leading to assumption it’s rather old. Shower head in second bath needs replaced. Rest of condo very nice, stocked kitchen. Location is perfect and we enjoyed our stay despite some of the needed improvements.

We had a great stay. Listing for this condo is very accurate. It was perfect for my husband & I. If traveling with small children it would be a great condo, more than 2 adults maybe a little too crowded. The accessibility to beach & pool is perfect, the beach chair & umbrella service were so nice. Centrally located for getting around. Crab Island is a must if you have never been as also dine at Boshamps!! So good. A drive to down 30A is well worth it also. We never needed the host until the last day & she was very accommodating.
