Overall great place, master shower was tight-would benefit from a rounded shower curtain to accommodate more space. Loved the well stocked kitchen utensils/pots/pans. Great ocean view!

Great first Vrbo experience!
Condo was great for our first family vacay (mom, Dad, nine year-old). This place had plenty of space to stretch out when we had too much togetherness. We walked into a clean condo and we found it very user-friendly and available. You overlook the pool, and the ocean view is awesome. We utilized most of the amenities-there were lots of extra kitchen appliances if wr needed them. We cooked most nights or warmed up leftovers. Our family would love to stay here in the future. My kiddo loved the pool too much! Notes on stay: -Bring your own bath towels. We were only provided two for our group of three. Shampoos and soaps were included. -Make sure the washer lid is pushed all the way down. Laundry detergent was included. W/D is located behind the very first door on the left when walking in. -No recycling on-site -No extra blankets in the condo so bring your own -Hair dryers were included in each bathroom -Beach chairs and umbrellas were set up each morning and removed in the afternoon by staff -Pool was cleaned each day by staff -A coke vending machine was on the first floor -Parking was great (one of my big anxiety triggers) but the lot was big and we could park our F-150 just fine -Be up by 7 am to see the dolphins

Chance to visit nearby family
My husband, 94 year old mother in law and I found the unit to be just as beautiful as the pictures. The management was very helpful and great at communicating with us. The kitchen was very well stocked, allowing me to enjoy cooking and the balcony view was incredible! Having staff set up chairs and umbrellas on the beach was so much appreciated amd convenient! Thank you for a lovely stay! We will told our son and daughter in law, who live nearby, to reccomend to their other family and friends who need a place to stay. We will be back!

We were on the 5th Floor and the view was just great. The Owner had some really nice high chair/stools that were just perfect to prop your feet up and watch the beach gowers go strolling by. Plenty of blankets, comforters, extra pillows, all fresh and clean. Kitchen utensils were plentiful and varied. Linen and towels were fresh and clean. We really enjoyed ourselves, and guest and neighbors were to a person friendly and outgoing without being overwhelming. Will definitely be thinking about coming back. The Property Management Company was excellent to work with and very helpful.

Wonderful!
The condo was just as pictured and was perfectly clean. We got excellent instructions for check in and Brooks and Shorey called as promised on our check-in day with our door code. We arrived at the condo and went right in. Right on the beach. The beach is beautiful and immaculate. We had some issues with algae in the water but nothing that stopped us from swimming. The water in Destin is a bit cooler and clearer, but the beach was so much more relaxed and less crowded at our condo. Great experience and would go again.

Great location!
This property was very nice and clean. The location of the condo was close to the elevator and close to the pier to get to the beach. Several restaurants nearby that were very good. I would definitely stay here again. The only thing I would suggest is fixing the fan in the Master Bathroom (it was very loud) and replacing the laundry baskets that were broken.
