10 / 10Outstanding·Jul 2026
Clean unit and owner was very responsive for check in and check out. Only concern was the listing said twin sleeper couches which turned out to be patio furniture not a sleeper couches which required us to purchase an air mattress. Over all I would recommend for no more than 6.

Great place to stay! Right in the heart of Destin, but nestled back in a cove that feels less busy, safe, and right on the beach, but still has the convenience of being in the middle of everything. Everything was perfect and pictured/described as advertised. We will book again! Thank you for a great week!
8 / 10Excellent·Jun 2026
Easy walk to the beach and the pool. The condo is in need of an update. The photos are more forgiving than in person. Kitchen is very small. No pantry or empty cabinet to put food that doesn’t need refrigeration. The shower had hair all over it when we got there so we had to clean it. One of the tubs is missing the stopper so if you have multiple small children needing to have a bath at once, that can’t happen. It rained one night we were there and the next morning there was water that had leaked onto the floor through the glass door (even though it was closed and locked). Overall, condo could be a nice space but needs an upgrade and a deep clean, a lot of dirt/dust around the vents, baseboards, walls, dirty spots in the paint, cracked bathroom tiles etc.

Beach was great! Location is perfect. Taylor, the beach attendance, very nice and accommodating. Owner, Patrick, very easy to work with, great communication. Condo is dated, but that was not reason for three star. We communicated some house cleaning issues, that i trust will be addressed.
