This is the one to choose
You want a relaxing place to stay? You will be so happy you made this reservation. Perfect spot across from Destin, close to bridge. After spending the day at the beach with the crowd, head on over to Drop anchor & enjoy the peace and quiet on the bay. It sits overlooking the marina with spectacular views. There is a restaurant right next door. Wendy was so attentive. We have never been taken care of so well. I was sad to leave & can’t wait to go back, and believe me, we will!!!!
