The property was beautiful, but the view from the balcony was AMAZING! We enjoyed the beach and the pool and when weather was less than desirable, we sat out of the balcony and took in the sounds and smells of the ocean. The kitchen was well stocked. It would have been nice to have a highchair and pack and play included in the rental to make it more child friendly. The host was very responsive!

Destin Getaway
We had a great time at this property. The penthouse was the perfect size for us. We had 3 couples, the bedrooms were nice and the beds were so comfortable. I usually have issues sleeping away from home because of my bad back but I didn't here. Our friends said their bed in their rooms were way comfortable as well. The two decks to sit out and relax on were perfect. The view of the ocean from them was so nice to have. You can listen to the ocean all night which was so peaceful. Our other favorite part was the private beach access and the area designated for guests that stay there. It wasn't busy and was great for relaxing. The condo was clean which is a must for us. The heated pool was clean and not too busy.. We would definitely come stay here again.

Avoid the crowded beaches
Loved the 1 floor layout of this penthouse. The Master was huge! The other bedrooms had plenty of space as well. A quiet unit, didn’t hear anything! Updated nicely to be an older unit. Loved the close proximity to the beach and how it was never crowded. Also loved the views and all the windows.

Destin at the top
We enjoyed our stay in Destin. The unit has a general "well used" feel about it and needs some TLC both in maintenance issues and upgrades to furniture / fixtures. Propery Manager was very responsive to most of the requests; some, like the mattress with a huge hole in it had to be referred to the owner. Check out was a bit rude, cleaning crew showed up 45 minutes early, walking in without knocking; then maintenance was at door changing the lock key code right at 10 a.m. without even checking to see if we were still in the room. Location on the beach is excellent; needs some shade at the pool; pool service at beach is excellent even if a bit expensive. One parking spot for a 4 bedroom unit sleeping 12 is seemingly a bit weak but we made it work. Elevators are prompt but not well cleaned.

Great stay!
We had 11 people staying in this location, 8 adults and 3 children. The layout was set up perfectly for us to all have our own space, bathrooms, etc. The balconies were very spacious and you simply cannot beat that view! It was fairly clean aside from sandy floors, which I realize is a never ending battle. I would have liked to have seen at least some basic spices stocked. No salt & pepper even?!
The dryer went out during our stay but the maintenance man was there promptly to evaluate and had it fixed in a timely manner. Great communication from him.
Overall our stay was very enjoyable and we are already looking at dates to come back!

Joyful vacation experience
This condo is huge and unbelievably clean! Loved "keying in" on the numbered push pad! No keys to keep track of. My husband and I played "Marco, Polo" in order to find each other as we got there first and the place is big enough to get "lost" in. Our daughters and their families, which included 3 grandchildren had room to spare. The covered parking space was wonderful and there was ample parking for other family members who arrived separately. Luggage carts were available to help unload the baggage and groceries. Maintenance came quickly on a Sunday when one of bathroom sinks needed attention. We rarely rode up in the 2 elevators with other guests. We liked the fact that the building is small for a beach condo. The living room balcony was separate from the Master Bedroom balcony. Both huge balconies had very nice outdoor furniture. Pool chairs were available when we needed them. We were able to rent a couple beach chairs with an umbrella for the week. There was a beachfront restaurant about a mile north of the condo that welcomes patrons in bathing suits. Perfect place for a Bloody Mary later in the morning when the "old folks" took a leisurely beach walk! Food there was fantastic. Our favorite family activity was renting a pontoon boat, with a "lily" pad and visiting crab island, which isn't an island at all! If you go there, we found more sea life (large hermit crabs) by the sand dune to the west of crab island. Loved this family vacation!

Perfect beach vacay
Destin’s crystal clear emerald water is amazing especially being viewed from the 16th floor penthouse, Modern Serenity in Destin Towers. Couldn’t have gotten much better than this rental. Updated decor, clean & spacious unit with VERY comfortable beds, lots of seating, highly functional, large, well stocked kitchen, impressive master bedroom & bath that just cannot be compared to others, and, oh, did I already mention the amazing views of the gulf from the fabulous balconies?!!! Older, somewhat smallish building with a gated under cover parking spot. Nice clean, heated pool & hot tub area, friendly beach rental guys, kayak rentals & a Tiki Hut bar & grill just a short walk down the beach. We had one small glitch where we set off the alarm after a thunderstorm & maintenance was right on it minutes after we called. All in all, a truly wonderful vacation to remember.

Amazing Gulf Views
The property around and the building itself was not so well kept. When we arrived on Saturday a glass door exiting to the pool/beach walkway had been cracked and broken in several pieces. A hand written note attached for caution. Very dangerous especially with small children who push on the glass to help open the door. Giving grace I assumed it was the weekend and by Monday it would have been repaired. It was not throughout the week or our entire stay.
The Penthouse was lovely and served our family well. The bathrooms were not the cleanest upon arrival. One appeared not to have been cleaned at all.
The views of the Gulf from the balconies were spectacular from sunrise to star gazing at night. The balcony furniture was also fantastic and we enjoyed the rocking chairs as a bonus!
Distance to the beach was great especially with small children.
We had decent weather and a wonderful week making memories!
