The location of the property was good, but the price didn’t warrant the inside, very dated, needs new beds and updates. The ice machine kept us awake every night, we left a day early.

We always like to stay in the Crystal Beach area. We are very familiar with the neighborhood and there are several restaurants that we go to that are within walking distance. During our stay both, staircases were closed for several days for maintenance. We found that inconvenient since we were on the third floor and using the staircase was an option we would have used. I also wonder what would have happened had there been an emergency.We liked the idea of using a code to enter the unit, but wonder if it could be possible to have a code assigned that would be familiar to us. We were repeatedly checking our phones to read the code from the email when we returned.Thank you.

This is absolutely the most wonderful condo we have stayed in and we have been coming to Destin for over 40 years. Large rooms, beautifully furnished, extremely clean, complimentary beach chairs, washer/dryer, and 2 showers (always nice at the beach) .AMAZING VIEW- corner unit with no high rise blocking view, nice breeze for sitting on balcony. Within 5 miles of our favorite Dewey’s seafood on the bay and best shopping centers are even closer . Perfect trip! We plan to stay in this condo every trip from now on.

The location of this condo is wonderful. Right on the beautiful Destin beach and close to an adorable coffee shop/restaurant. The included beach chairs were a major plus. And the pool was very clean. This condo lacked cleanliness and felt very grimy and dirty. Cabinets were falling apart. Stains all over the drawers so much I didn't want place anything inside them. Our washing machine was not working upon arrival, and the property management was very rude to dealing with this situation. We had booked with plans is utilizing the washer and dryer unit in the condo. It was replaced by the end of the stay, but we went through a major hassle in dealing with that. There were a lot of missing kitchen utensils (like a pizza cutter and bowls and containers). There were not many blankets or towels. And not was very bare bones. Which.i didn’t expect for what we paid.
