The location and view were stunning! We really enjoyed the huge balcony! The condo was spacious & the layout was perfect for little ones. Two master bedrooms were a definite plus! The pool area was amazing and beach access was very easy. There is only 1 dedicated parking slip & we had difficulty parking in the overflow with the 2nd vehicle a few times. The walls were very scratched up & it is obvious the condo has been well loved. It had not been well cleaned but nothing we couldn't take care of ourselves (ie food under coffee table, face pad & hair in bathroom floor). Overall, it was a lovely vacation for our family that we will remember forever!

Great condo. Really enjoyed our stay. Great space. Would have liked to see bath mats in bathrooms and more towels. Also felt like security guards are overly aggressive about asking for arms bands. Would definitely stay here again. My family really enjoyed staying there!

Very nice unit

We enjoyed our stay in Ocean Aire. Very nicely done unit with a beautiful view of the ocean. It could have been cleaner. We found long black hair all over the unit. And after showering, we used a towel to wipe up some water and the towel turned black from the dirt on the floor. Nothing major and because the unit was so nice, it would not prevent us from staying again.

Beautiful Beach Rental

Condo is beautifully decorated and plenty of room for everyone!! Conveniently located to plenty of restaurants and shopping. Great view of the beach (loved watching the sunrises) and the pool. The only thing I could recommend is to have a few extra blankets for the beds. It was chilly a couple of nights and the blankets on the beds are thin for the warmer months. Otherwise we had an amazing time and would definitely rent again!!

Great Condo

Everything in this condo is exactly like what you see in the pictures. Perfect Gulf views and Bay views. We loved our time here! There are only a couple of things that would have made our stay better: washer doesn’t spin water out and dryer took forever to dry clothes. The gulf view bedroom mattress is very firm compared to the other beds. The rug in the living room needs cleaned, our crawling grand baby had some dirty hands and knees. An Insta Pot/Crockpot would be a great addition to the well stocked kitchen. Overall, great place to stay!

Heavenly

I have stayed in Destin at least 10 different times. I have stayed in condos half the time and houses the other half. We listed the pros and cons on our way home from this trip. Pros: condo is beautiful. I love the set up, space, decorations, THE VIEWS and location to beach and other activities in Destin(perfection). Upon arrival the couch was soaked from being deep cleaned is my guess??? Which that is fine, we stayed off of it the first day or so. We had serious plumbing issues in a bathroom with toilet and the shower would not drain and then another toilet as well. This was night one at about 10 pm. I contacted the number and I the issue was addressed early the next morning. It took maintenance about 3 hours to work on it to fix it, but the rest of the time it worked PERFECT. I think it would be handy for some cleaning things to be left at the place. There was NOT a broom and we went to store and they were sold out!!! What are the odds? That would have been very helpful b/c a lot of sand and junk that we could have cleaned up ourselves. There is a loud noise when dryer goes, but I think it may be a neighbor's dryer actually? We thought it was the air vent for a bit, but not sure. So the loud noise was a lot but not too much for me not to have a terrific vacation and HIGHLY recommend this exact condo!!! I would do it again in a heartbeat. Stuff will always come up!!

Beautifully newly remodeled condo! Excellent location! Friendly staff and great service. Our only complaint was that the floors didn’t seem to have been cleaned because the baby’s knees were getting dirty from crawling around. Other than that, very pleased!
