Property was very clean. Patrick the owner was easy to communicate with. I appreciated that he engaged directly with me about codes, checking in and out. It was also accurate that the condo was a three minute walk to the beach with access to beach chairs and an umbrella.

Wonderful Getaway!

We truly enjoyed our stay in this home. From the flowers, convenience to everything, and the well furnished kitchen, everything was lovely. I will have to say I now want some Hinkle hexclad pans of my own. The beach was serene and so close. The house was very welcoming. My husband wants to let you know that the thermostat was blinking with a battery light prohibiting it from working, but he was able to find batteries and all was well. Patrick was very informative and easy to reach. He answered every message quickly. Again, thanks for sharing your home. It was fabulous! I would recommend to anyone who wants a convenient beach experience. So much good food nearby too! We are leaving now.

Week in Destin

The location was wonderful with a short walk to both a nice pool in the conplex and beautiful clean white beach and clear emerald ocean. Our unit was dated but decorated well wirh everything we needed. Unfortunely, the carpets and rooms were not clean in corners and along edges and we had roaches in the unit.

Great Place to Stay in Destin

Nice townhouse to stay in that is close to everything Destin has to offer. For a place that is rented weekly by different families, it was clean. It could use a few more cooking skillets and wash rags. It was a little dated on the inside, but still nice enough for a great vacation.
