“LOVED IT”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed July 14, 2012

Our unit (207) was very clean & elegant. Ceramic floors, granit countertops, perfect view & beautifully decorated. The beach was just right (not overcrowded). We will definately be back!

Room Tip: There are no washer and dryers in the room. They have a laundry mat system that can be used. Wifi i...

“Dumpy place”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed June 19, 2012

Currently staying here, place is rundown, owners need to spend a little $. One door to balcony is completely broken, other one requires 2 people to open. Great location, shame the place isn't better maintained. Will go elsewhere next year.

“Shhhh! Don't let the world know how perfect this place is!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed June 3, 2012 via mobile

We found this place nine years ago, and we have returned each year since. We've stayed in a number of different units here, and though they vary in decor, they all are convenient to the beach and the pool. If you are looking for nightlife, this is not the place for you, but if you are vacationing with kids or grand kids, there is no better place. The small number of units means the beach is never crowded, and there is only one line of beach umbrellas. The beach boys put up your complimentary umbrella and two chairs each day, and the walk from the condos to the beach has to be one of the shortest in Destin. Grocery store and other retail are literally within two minutes drive. This place is well maintained, and the office staff is friendly a d helpful. You can always find a free barbecue, and two laundry rooms serve the complex. I rarely have had to wait for a machine. This is a "no frills" place, but the units are constantly being renovated, and most are beautiful. All are comfortable. We'll be back!! After thirty-five years of vacationing in Destin, this is truly the best condo complex we have found!
