Perfect Summet spot in Destin

Condo was exactly as advertised - newly renovated beautiful corner unit close to the beach. The view from the balcony was perfect! The beach was a great spot and had sand bars and tidal pools when the tide went out in the evening. The board walk was very short which was a plus as the grandparents don’t like a lot of stairs. The pool was just the right size for all my kiddos ages 4 to 14 and the deep end was a plus. The beach chair area sells snowcones which was a big hit with the kids. The dryer needs the vent cleaned as it took all night to dry clothes and towels. Also the condo management needs to provide better instructions on entering the gym. There was no code and the office was closed in the morning. Overall this was a great stay and we can’t wait to come back.

Awesome view!

This condo looks exactly like the pictures! I will only book corner units from now on because the view was beautiful. Pros: spacious, well-stocked kitchen (no oven mitts or extra trash bags, though), balcony with 4 Adirondack chairs, close to trash chute, close beach access (chair/umbrella service available for cost) Cons: security gate was open/broken entire stay, only 2 rolls of TP per bathroom, 1 of the 2 elevators was out of order almost entire stay, shower water pressure wasn’t great—wash as much sand off at the outdoor shower as you can! Overall— I would absolutely book this exact unit again!

Great Place and Location

The condo was absolutely beautiful, and very clean. Fantastic view! Big downfall was the amenities - one kitchen towel, no salt/pepper or any seasonings, no condiments, one trash bag, no oven mitts, no laundry soap, etc. For 5 days and 8 people there definitely needed to be more of this stuff provided. Also, we were on the beach and saw our room cleaned by 1 and we were still not allowed in until 4 (the unfriendly front desk worker physically let us in at exactly 4pm even though he knew we were there with little kids and it was raining). Seems a little ridiculous. Again, the place was perfect but the side stuff needs work for that price!

Condo was recently updated, so it didn’t match the listing but it was a pleasant surprise.

Beautiful remodel! We originally thought there were only 2 bathrooms! When the door to the room with 2 beds is open it totally conceals the door to the 3rd bathroom!

Newly renovated

We were pleasantly surprised when we walked in and the condo had been completely renovated and redecorated. It was beautiful! 3 bedroom and 3 bathrooms with plenty of space and a wonderful balcony! This was easily my favorite condo that I’ve ever stayed in. Cleanliness wise, the floors were dirty and the showers had hair left in them. We found dirty dishes in the cabinets and a light switch that was covered in ?food? Other than that, this was perfect and I’d stay here again.

Construction Ruined Out Stay

I think this property could have been wonderful if it weren't for the construction. WE DO NOT BLAME THE CREW, they were great people. The rental company should have informed us that the construction was WAY behind. In the listing, and when I contacted the rental agency, I was told we would be without a deck for one day... we were not only without a deck the entire stay, but the construction crew's lift was based off of the balcony so they took breaks there and the lift was parked there day and night. There was no view, no fresh air, no privacy. CONSTANT CONSTRUCTION NOISE! They were grinding the decks. The door was locked from the outside, we couldn't even get an ocean breeze. The dishwasher did not work properly, it didn't finish the cycle so we hand washed everything (whoever stayed there next, your welcome). The unit itself wasn't very clean. There is not a hairdryer or kuerig. The unit has different furniture then shown in the photos, but that isn't a big deal. The location is great, and (when the construction is done) the view will be great. It's a larger unit. It's the 2nd floor so it's easy access to the pool, but with lower units you loose some privacy. I just wish someone would have called us AHEAD of time so we could have researched other options. The deck is so import to us, it really made a huge dent in our vacation. We were forced to leave the room every day to get some privacy and to get away from the noise.

Family Vacation

Loved the location and the condo, however, the construction going on was aggravating. The workers were very courteous but the banging woke us up every morning. I am also assuming that the construction caused there to be rodents outside on the scaffolding outside our room and we do not do rats!!! The air conditioner in the unit would not go below 77 so we stayed hot.

Great property and location

The condo was as it was listed. All the pictures are accurate. You are steps away from the beach. Very easy access to pool and beach. A completely stress free stay. The kitchen is well appointed with everything you need. Great water pressure, which is important to me. I loved that there’s no carpet anywhere. A really great central location to everything!!

Great central location. Gated property. Nice heated pool and steam room. Plenty of room in condo. Bathrooms are a little small. Beautiful view! Only wish they had more laundry and dishwashing soap, some coffee filters and salt and pepper. When only coming for a week you buy that and only use a very little and then it gets thrown away. But wonderful place to stay overall. I would highly recommend.

Nice Condo, Views are Amazing!

This condo is in a great location, view and access to beach is great. The condo was not as clean as expected (Sand all over the floors and in the shower upon arrival) the check in process was pretty annoying (the unit was not available for check in, until almost 5pm) and unfortunately the dryer did not work properly.

Bait and Switch

They only reason this condo even gets 3 stars is for the amazing location and view of the ocean. It is right on the beach. But for everything else it wasn’t what it appeared to be. The condo shown in my initial reservation was NOT the condo that they assigned to me. Even when I called Wyndham they made up excuses like oh it’s under construction etc. that is crap. Why would you show pictures of a pristine condo and then say it’s under construction. The condo we ended up with was large and spacious but the furnishings were very subpar. The couch was very old and uncomfortable. The bar stools were all about to fall apart and we were nervous to even sit on them, and the beds were very uncomfortable for our week long stay. Also, there were no beach towels, no beach chairs no beach anything provided in the condo which forces you to go buy more stuff and rent chairs and umbrellas from the resort. Not very convenient for people that have flown in and aren’t able to bring those items with them. The kitchen is very minimally equipped. There were no condiments like salt and pepper or cooking spray or oil to use so again, we were forced to go buy that and then throw away all the rest which is very wasteful. So for people that are flying in to this location be prepared to buy and supply everything yourself. Also the communication with Wyndham was very poor. The app they use gave no helpful information. We did not receive gate codes or anything prior to arrival. Only bright side to this place was the size of the unit and location to the beach!
