Family Vacation
Loved our stay. Condo is as advertised with a great location! Private balcony and direct access to the sand is wonderful. It was very clean and well equipped. We had 6 adults and a 2 month old and never felt crowded. The provided beach service with two chairs and umbrella is nice to have. There are also extra chairs provided for sitting on the beach as well as toys for children to play in the sand. Definitely recommend this property!

Will return here!
The accommodation was excellent for our family stay of six. The property was clean and comfortable. Access to the beach was a breeze from the unit. Nearby shopping was just across the highway form the Mainsail property.
This was our fourth vacation in this area of of the panhandle and this accommodation made it even more enjoyable. Management made several inquiries to be of assistance to us if needed. Views on both sides of the unit were great. We appreciated the extra beach chairs and umbrellas\ from the unit as well as the two chairs and umbrella provided from the beach service.

The Cozy Dune
Very nice condo with all the things that you will need. Keurig and an air fryer! Beds were comfy. The mirror in the second master suite is not very functional for a bathroom though. The biggest complaint is the parking. This unit is right at the beach and parking is on the other end of the building. Not a problem
for us but could be for some folks. Quite a walk for the elderly or young children. Location of the resort was very good! Had a great time!!

Great Family Vacation
We stayed in this unit 6/1-6/8 and were completely in love with this place! Upon arrival the space was spotless. The 3 king size beds were perfect for the 3 couples that joined us. We loved that you had your own staircase down to the beach/pool without having to use elevators. The view from the balcony was priceless. This condo was conveniently located to grocery stores, souvenir shops, and other activities. We will absolutely book again for our family vacations!

Excellent condo
We had an amazing stay at the Cozy Dune. The pictures and description online are exactly what you get. Our GlamDestin representative checked in frequently to make sure everything was ok and was very responsive if we had any questions. The condo was easy to access and we had no problems entering the gated community. Location was perfect for dining, shopping, and groceries. The access to the beach was perfect. The condo was clean and had a very well stocked kitchen. The beds were comfortable and all the linens were clean and a nice quality. It was a perfect set up for our family with everyone having their own bedroom and bathroom. The beach was clean, no seaweed or shells, and has the softest sand. The chair service was a nice addition to the rental, however the two chairs and umbrella you get with the condo are not reserved for you and are first come/first served. There were a lot of paid reservations so we had a hard time actually getting our “included” chairs. Not sure if anything can be done to change that, but it would be nice if you could actually reserve for the week as a paying guest of the condo. Overall we had an amazing vacation and would definitely rent this condo or another rental from GlamDestin again in the future.
