Good location
We have stayed in Destin before at a similar location/condo set up and thought we would try something different. Location was perfect as it's right on the beach, but as others have mentioned it's a bit dated. We also got unlucky as we had what seemed like a family of Clydesdales above us as we heard footsteps and balls bouncing constantly, so I would maybe recommend the top floor.

Great View
This unit/condo is as described. Beachfront with fantastic view from balcony & living room. Plenty of room for 2 travelers and all their stuff. There were 2 beach chairs & 1 umbrella available on beach first come first serve. Wasn't real crowded so that worked well. Condo on second floor with steps and/or elevator. Basic kitchen supplies. Very nice area. We enjoyed our stay.

Great view
Great view and right on beach. The condo needs some updates (couches and appliances)and deep cleaning (like the tile). There’s not many extras in the kitchen. For example there wasn’t even a cookie/pizza sheet. The main bedroom is right by the stairs and you could hear people at all hours. The sound proofing isn’t very good either. People above us were very loud at odd times. Could hear every step they made too.

Great waterfront property
You could not ask for a better location. Right on the beach with a wonderful Waterfront view, close to a variety of restaurants and shopping areas. The staff is amazing. Rooms are very clean and comfortable.

Get it!!!👌🏻
I love everything about this beautiful place. The view, peaceful, friendly... everything. Definitely we are going to comeback next vacation. The most I loved it was that the place was a very big space of private beach for only guests from the this condos.

Excellent vacation location
This location is convenient to everything while being somewhat private. It’s a yearly reservation for us. We do regret to see the public park going in next door though. Thank you.

Perfect location, right on the beach
It was nice for us to be able to gather our things and walk right on the beach within a minute. This property is attached to the walkway to the beach, so it was perfect. I just wish a crib was available for our 1 year old, but we worked it out! Great family vacation.

Disliked: Cleanliness, communication
Smoke + Mildew = splitting headaches
Upon arrival was met with an overwhelming stench of mildew and cigarette smoke. Just walking through the unit, myself and my girlfriend started experiencing sharp headaches. Went to property manager and described the issue. They said they would have the cleaning crew to spray the room. Waited on the balcony for about 20 mins (which was quaint and did not smell of smoke or mildew). Realizing that there is no way the cleaning crew would get this stench out during our 2 night stay. We decided to just leave the property and went home after being on the propertyfor 30 mins. Vacation ruined. Called the customer service representative for Vacasa (who owns the property) and was met with a representative that stated they were going to pass the issue to a supervisor and that they would call back soon. Still have not recieved that call after 44 hours. Sent a follow up email that night describing tge issue and my experience and still have not recieved a reply. Called again the following day and finally was able to speak with a supervisor. She said she would coordinate with the property manager. It is over 24 hours since that call and still haven't hears back. Just want my money back

Nice place, too much of a 'hotel' feel for us
This property was clean upon arrival and well stocked with plenty of towels for our family. The location was perfect, right on the beach with easy access. The check in process was easy, althoughi suppose we have been spoiled with previous VRBOs letting us in a little earlier than check in if the space was clean/ready. The code was not activated until right at 4 (we have a long drive and ended up getting to the condo 20 minutes early). Check out time was 10 and the code was deactivated 5 minutes early. We also didn't care for the check out time being communicated via email and text, yet some person with vacasa still hand to bang on the door 40 minutes prior to remind us. Also just fyi, there is also nothing in the way of cooking staples, i.e. salt, pepper, cooking spray,etc. Just little things so overall it was still a nice stay for us
