Clean with a great view

We enjoyed our stay in this condo, it was very clean with a great layout, my wife and I along with our son and his girlfriend had plenty of room and privacy. The balcony overlooking the lazy river provides a great view of the well manicured and maintained grounds and river itself, the parking was convenient too. We would stay here again.

Spring Break

We were very impressed with how well the entire complex was kept up, especially with so many people staying during this time. The hallways, elevators, and pool areas were all kept clean. We normally stay beachside but decided to stay bayside for a different view this time and we’re so glad we did! This condo was very clean, updated, tastefully decorated with great views of the bay and pool/ lazy river. It was the perfect size for our family of 4. (2 adults, 2 teens) We knew several others that stayed in different units on the property and whenever they’d walk in ours they raved about how nice it was! We definitely recommend this unit. Also the property Manager Madison was extremely friendly and had great communication!!

Great location !!!

I recently visited a resort that had a great location, perfect for families with younger children. The amenities and activities available were excellent, but the real highlight was the lazy river. It was absolutely fantastic and provided endless fun and relaxation for both kids and adults. I can't recommend it enough! If you're looking for a fun-filled family getaway with a relaxing twist, I highly suggest checking out this place. I think you'll love it just as much as I did.

Beautiful and Comfortable Condo

We had a great time in the FWB/Destin area. Lyndsay was very prompt with communication, and the condo was great. It was clean, comfortable, and beautiful. We always enjoy staying at the San Destin. We relaxed in the lazy river and easily walked across the skywalk to the beach. Our teenagers appreciated the TVs at the end of each of their bunks. Would definitely recommend this condo and stay again.

Stunning Condo ~ Amazing Host ~ Don’t miss out on this listing!

First off arrival was so easy. We received a door code the day of arrival and were able to walk right into the unit at midnight. The unit is stunning! Chandeliers hanging as lamps next to the beds were beautiful. Unit is completely updated! No detail has been missed. Each bunk bed has its own tv and the remotes all work. Kids were able to use Netflix and other streaming services easily. The kitchen was stocked, granite countertops, beautiful living room with more chandeliers hanging and beautiful ceiling fans. Good water pressure. Stocked with nice beach towels, beach chairs, toys, and a full kitchen. Toiletries were provided along with dish washing liquid and laundry detergent. Very nice brands! Will hopefully get a chance to book again. We had terrible storms and the host was extremely helpful with checkout during a very scary storm.

Absolutely beautiful!

Booked this condo in an emergency situation where I had to stay in Florida after sending my family home. We stayed as a family in another condo in the same facility the week prior & this condo was absolutely stunning & so clean. They provided more than enough basic necessities like laundry detergent, toilet paper, paper towels, dishwasher tabs, way more than the previous unit we had stayed in as a family. They also went above & beyond to get me in prior to check in time, bc I was kinda homeless on a rainy day between checking out of previous unit & checking in . 5 stars plus.

Very cheque and updated condo.

This place was super clean. The overall condo was updated and clean. Although the bathroom could use an update it was still clean and nice. Only thing that I could say is in the master bedroom if you lay in bed with your phone take a longer cord, as the outlets are a little too far away. But are close enough to plug in on the nightstands. Overall extremely satisfied with my stay!

Wonderful stay!

Not only was the property as pictured, but the hosts did a great job of communicating with us. They answered any questions we had in a very timely manner and were easy to get in touch with if we needed anything. They sent out a nice welcome packed explaining everything, which was helpful. The location is perfect. It was a very short walk to the lazy river (which is where we spent most of our time!) and about a 10 min. walk to the beach on the other side of the property. There are plenty of restaurants within walking distance which was nice. We walked to Wild Willys and rode go karts, played in the arcade, played laser tag and conquered the ropes course. It was nice having all of that within walking distance! The only thing I would maybe “complain” about is the shower in the master bedroom. There is barely any water pressure. Other than that, we really enjoyed our time there! Thank you for being such great hosts and keeping your property clean and maintained :)
