Outstanding Destin Condo - Exactly As Advertised!

My husband, myself, and our 8 year old son stayed for a week end of March on our first visit to Destin. The unit was exactly as described and is absolutely beautifully decorated and well kept with a gorgeous lagoon pool view. The beds were comfortable and I found everything to be very clean and welcoming! The unit has a washer and dryer in it which is a great bonus! The doors to the balcony have voice notifications on them when opened which was great with a young son, plus they are not easy for a small child to open. We also could not hear noise from the pool area unless we had the doors open which we did many nights and even then the music was enjoyable and shuts down at a reasonable time. Lisa has everything covered including basic supplies for the first few days, beach/pool towels, games, a wagon and necessary beach items (chairs, umbrella, toys, pool float) and is extremely friendly and available if needed during the stay. I did not need her as everything was perfect. We enjoyed access to on site food/drinks, and easy walkability to the beach and nearby restaurants. I will say in response to other reviews I have seen related to the Palms of Destin, there is a short walk to the beach and while it does cross a busy highway there are cross walks and it is completely reasonable to do with a family.The parking garage is clean and secure, right in the fence of the property. Definitely recommend this unit!

Just okay!

We just got back from our stay at the Palms of Destin Resort. Lisa was really great with communication and addressed some issues we had at the very beginning of our stay. Some main items were not very clean upon arrival (sheets, rugs)- Lisa was very upset when I talked with her and tried to help the best she could from afar. There are several things that were disappointing (some out of Lisa's control). I felt the resort was not very clean itself- the hallway carpet leading to the room was very stained and looked dirty. The halls/resort smelled like a dull cigarette smoke with freshener spray to cover up the smell. The listing shows there is an indoor pickle-ball court, but it was being renovated. The listing also shares there is a game room, but there is not- there are a few arcade games located in the Bistro restaurant, but not an actual game room. It is also shared that while the resort is across the street from the beach, there is a shuttle that can take you over to the beach at any time. This is not true- since it is considered "off season" currently in Destin, the shuttle only runs on the weekends. I wish we would have known this sooner. The pools were dirty, the splash pad never worked and they even had to shut down the main pool one day while we were there. There were no family things offered as advertised (movies in the courtyard, etc.). I wish I would have known all of these things sooner.

Just what we needed

Lisa made our stay simple and easy. She responded quickly and told us everything we needed know to make our stay go smoothly. The condo at the Palms had everything we needed for the week. My three kids enjoyed the pool, the hot tub, and they made friends from all over the US. The washer and dryer worked well, and we were able to use the beach gear from the condo at the beach. The condo is only a couple of blocks from the beach and any type of restaurant you could imagine. We truly enjoyed our time in Destin and hope to come back and stay again soon!

Very Accommodating

Lisa was very accommodating to our family, which includes a teenager, tween, and toddler. We were able to avoid traveling with a crib, due to the on-site pack and play available for our toddler. We were also able to modify our check in time, which was extremely helpful. Our toddler was able to move around safely, with no safety hazards. The condo itself was clean and well decorated. We traveled with family and the other three units, in the opposite tower, paled in comparison. This will be our go to unit when traveling to Destin. Thank you, Lisa.

Great Accomodations

Our family of four really enjoyed the room and had plenty of nearby amenities to keep us busy. The place was clean and well stocked with everything we needed. The beach toys and wagon were a life saver and we had a great view of the pool as well. The only downside for us was the beds were hard, but that's coming from a family who loves their pillow top mattresses. I would recommend the room regardless!
