Everything we needed and more
This place was cute and cozy. We felt right at home and had everything we needed. The kids loved the sand and water toys. Loved having a washer and dryer to wash up clothes and towels after being at the beach all day. We could see the beach from the balcony and we only had to walk across the street to get there. I highly recommend and hope to book here again if we visit Destin again.

Awesome Experience!!!
What a great experience we had. The location was perfect. Just a short walk to the beach and easy access to Hwy 98 where you can find all the major stores.
Scenic Coast Highway is a beautiful drive and offers several great dining locations.
The unit was thoughtfully stocked with the necessary beach equipment which was a pleasant surprise. And appropriately stocked with kitchen necessities.
I would say the listing images & description is true what you experience. And the owner was very responsive to any questions that we had before and during our stay.
Thank you.
