Much needed beach vacation!

My family and I had a wonderful stay at this very well appointed condo. Steps away from the private area of beach with absolutely stunning views. Very short drives to all the food, shopping, and nightlife that you could want.

Christmas in Destin

We loved how easy it was to get around the island from this location, the kitchen is fully stocked with dishes, utensils, virtually everything you can imagine for indoor cooking and outdoor grilling. The beach front views are spectacular for sunrise and sunsets. The condo is beautifully laid out and decorated. We throughly enjoyed our stay.

Lovely Beach Vacay

Location: right on the beach with the most beautiful views! Couple steps down the private beach entrance and you are on the beach and in the water! Parking on site. Nice hotels, homes around this location, upscale area. So convenient to shopping, dining, and attractions (we didn’t travel more than 10 mins for anything, with grocery options <1 mile). Quiet location (on site and surrounding) made for a relaxing time!
