This was the perfect spot for a trip to Destin
Being able to walk right onto the beach or watch the sunrise/sunset from the back patio was great. Would definitely recommend and will try to book this again if I am back in Destin.

Everything is exactly as pictured
BEAUTIFUL view, easy access to the beach, and updated living space. Short drive to shopping areas, too. If the weather is nice, the walk to Camille's for breakfast or lunch is just 10-15 minutes.

Great location
So wonderful to be so close to the beach! The picture looking out the glass door is exactly what you will get! I enjoyed my coffee every morning before walking a few steps to the pre set up chairs and umbrella. Definitely will stay again!

You cannot beat this location.
Step right out the sliding door and onto the beach boardwalk! It’s a relatively quiet section of beach with a few low rise complexes and beach houses. You can walk to Crab Trap or Camille’s. We have been to Destin so many times but never to Camille’s, incredible breakfast/coffee, lunch and dinner, a new fav restaurant. The condo is cozy but not cluttered. The master bed is very comfy! We will definitely be booking here again.

The condo was beautiful and the view was breathtaking
We watched dolphins from the beach in the morning. The daily beach chairs and umbrella were incredibly helpful since we had everything else to carry down for our 5 year old. The men working the beach service kept an eye on who was using the chairs... felt very safe, very clean and friendly. Would absolutely stay again!

This is such a great location.
Being on the first floor makes transporting stuff to and from the beach so simple, plus the condo includes beach service, so the chairs and umbrella are setup for you each morning.
