I’ve been to Destin many times, but this was a first at this property.
Pros: Excellent communication with owner - she was responsive usually within 5 min. Outstanding!! Beach was beautiful and right off the back of the property. Condo was exactly as shown in pictures. Very clean as well. Kitchen was well-stocked. Beds were very comfortable. Wifi worked well and having a Roku there was a plus.
Cons: Being this far west in Destin meant hearing all the traffic from 98 - and there is a lot! The condos aren’t soundproofed very well - we could hear a child/toddler running back and forth in the condo above us. The condo itself needs at least some ottomans as it was hard to enjoy lounging in the living room. Overall, the seating in the condo is not the softest - those of us who need a cushion on wooden chairs are out of luck. The most comfortable seating is on the balcony, in my opinion. The second bedroom lacks any type of closet space, so my 2 16-year-olds kept their suitcases in the living room. The bunks also take up all the space in the room so it’s hard to move around. The area rugs in the main bedroom are somewhat threadbare but did their purpose. The master bath is slow draining (I’m used to that in vacation rentals); it started slow and got worse as the week went on. The master sink and other bathroom sink were slow draining too. One of my biggest issues was that we had virtually no cell service (T-Mobile and Verizon) while in the condo. In order to make sure phone calls went through, I had to be standing outside the front door. Obviously some of these things are not owner related, though might be important for other travelers.
Overall, we had a nice stay but we wouldn’t stay here again simply because of the road noise and cell service. If the building could be transplanted further east, we would come back in a heartbeat.
