Everything was wonderful! The accommodations were perfect for all of our 11 guests. Easy access to the beach with wonderful trips to the very nice pool on the way back. We all felt very safe with the gated parking and beach access. We prepared most of our meals in the condo and the kitchen was more than up for the task. Sleeping arrangements were clean and comfortable. The condo made the trip unforgettable. I would highly recommend it and I would definitely stay here again.

Just spent an incredible week at the beach with our grandchildren. The condo is beautiful and the beds were very comfortable. The kitchen was well stocked with dishes, glassware, pots and pans and even a crockpot. The pool area and boardwalk to the beach were just steps away from the patio. There was a very nice grill station just off the pool area overlooking the beach. Krystelle was a wonderful host and responded very quickly to any questions. I wish I could rate it above five stars because the condo was everything and more that we needed for a relaxing week at the beach. We will definitely stay there again!

The pool and beach access is unlike anything I’ve ever experienced in my 30 years vacationing on the gulf. You walk off the large patio onto stepping stones directly taking you to the lounge chairs and pool. A few stairs (the only you’ll encounter on the property) and a short boardwalk and you are on the shore. Truly remarkable. The living space and kitchen space was exactly what we needed for 6 adults 2 children. It is very spacious. Comfortable beds. Air conditioning worked wonderfully.Host responded very quickly to any message and accommodated our requests. Was a great experience.

Great condo! Was extremely clean and is loaded with amenities and some cool bells and whistles. We also loved the location of the condo. It’s the end unit on the bottom floor so it feels private, yet the pool and beach are literally steps away as you walk out of the patio. Definitely hope to return!

The place was perfect. The beach and gulf were steps away. The pool was right outside the door. The condo was spotless. We wanted or needed for nothing. The beds were heavenly comfortable. The adults had as much fun as the kids who wore the pool and beach out. We are already planning our return to the Salty Jewel!!!

Beach Front Condo
My family and I were very happy when we walked into this condo. The pictures look exactly how the condo looks. The beachfront access and being right there where we can step out and be next to the pool was everything. We traveled with our 8-year-old, 16-year-old and our 2-year-old grandson and it was something for everyone to do. When we come back to Destin next year I will definitely look for this condo. The host was easy to communicate with and responded to every question promptly.
