My son & I spent 3 nights and had a great stay. Loved the location as it was safe & quiet, yet close to all area attractions. Great beach, pools, gym, hot tub & sauna! Appreciated the beach chairs and towels, along with kitchen & bath supplies. Great size for an efficiency unit. James kept in contact & we had no issues. Can't wait to return!

ProsThe host was fantastic. The rate was pretty good rate. Once you walked to the beach it wasn’t super crowded.The pool was really nice. The building was super quiet. We really enjoyed our stay. ConsIt is not a one bedroom one bath. It’s a studio.The view is majority of sand dunes of the Air Force base. The building is only two stories tall.We thought we were gonna be on the 6th floor by the condo number. You had to walk about a hundred yards or so over the hot asphalt to the beach crossover. These are the reasons I give it 4 instead of 5 stars. The host was definitely 5 stars for sure.

Wonderful views

The unit was very clean and well organized. It was just the two of us, but would have been comfortable for 2 couples. There were some issues with the elevator, but it was only out of operation for a few hours.

The property owner was very responsive to questions. Very pleased with the property, cleanliness, even the bed was comfortable. A little tight for 4 people, but manageable... anything bigger in the destin area with brach location like this was just too expensive. There was washer and dryer on property and vending. Very nice pool at the bottom of the stairs It is the 2nd pool on the property hidden back a little bit, very quiet compared to the bigger pool

Great value

It’s a very comfortable place, clean, tastefully decorated, but most importantly functional. Fill kitchen , open floor plan , nice views. Really the only negative and it really wasn’t bad, was it seemed like it was a private bedroom when it actually was open to the entire home, studio fashion. Even though that was unexpected it still worked out perfectly for us. All in all incredible value for the money.

This place is positioned away from the main building but close enough for a short walk to a beautiful, secluded beach. Dunes from an undeveloped area are adjacent to this property which makes it unique and tranquil. The tennis court and gym are right by this building. My daughter engages in these activities so she was happy about that. There is a heated pool, sauna, basketball court, grill and whirlpool steps away from the building as well. Its a very cute, cozy dwelling that we'll visit again.
