As advertised! The cove the condo sits on is perfect, it rivals the best of Caribbean beaches with white sand and crystal clear water!! Check-in is simple with gated entrance and keypad on the door! Updated furnishings and fixtures throughout the condo. Harborwalk village only a 10-12 minute drive and beautiful views of the harbor from your balcony! Highly recommended and hope to return!

A bit of a rocky start as the gate code given was incorrect and keypad not user friendly, but I was able to easily get in touch with the property owners to resolve. The condo was very well stocked, exactly as described, and had lots of great personal touches. Definitely recommend!

We absolutely loved our stay here. The property was extremely clean and stocked with everything we needed minus our snacks, obviously. The only con we faced was it’s a bit of a walk to the nearest beach. We knew this when booking though. Just wanted to mention it incase you’re booking with elders that it may not be ideal. We will certainly keep this place in mind when we come back. Was a great trip and the host were quick to answer when we needed their help. Enjoy!!

July 4th

The condo itself was perfect!! The beach access was little to desire, you have to get past the Emerald Grande private area and then you can find a place to setup, its a pretty good distance to walk we ended up going over to Ft Walton to enjoy the beach. July 4th we had to wait for someone to leave in order to park in our own gated community because another vacationer decided to jam the gate open and the parking was a free for all.

GREAT location! Nice condo with everything you need for the beach. Chairs, tent, toys, cooler n body boards. 5 min away from drugstores, food and beverages. Kitchen has blender, toaster n coffee maker. Needs a few more pots/pans if you're cooking for large family. A/C works great. Awesome spot for snorkeling. Fish galore, sea turtles, sharks, dolphins, stingrays etc. Can't wait to go back!

Perfect vacation

Perfect vacation! We loved everything about our unit. This was our second time staying at the pool side villas and we loved the location and interior of this unit. The exterior of pool side villas does need some maintenance as it does look like it’s currently under construction in some areas. Hopefully by next year it will be completed. Our unit wasn’t included in the construction areas and didn’t affect our experience though! We love it here! Thank you for a wonderful vacation!

Destin Vacation

We loved the condo! The condo was super clean, and everything was well taken care of. We loved how beach items were provided and we could tell that the owners loved providing a good experiene.The dryer did take about three cycles to dry as home, but eventually got the job done. The property was mostly well maintained. The pool was rather small and got crowded at certain times of the day. There were certain guests that were too loud and other members had to call authorities for them to remain at a quiet volume so we could sleep. The beach access was AMAZING. We loved how the beach was shallow enough that our kiddos could play all day. This was the best part for us! We loved how everything you needed, grocery, restaurants, etc. was close by and only took a short trip. Overall I highly recommend staying here for the amazing beach trip and location!

We very much enjoyed our stay here. It was clean and location was great. I was hesitant based off of some of the reviews from others on the walk to the beach area. Turns out it's not as far as anticipated. Also, the four cove areas at the end of the street are within walking distance as well. The parking for this area basically ends directly in front of where we stayed. Would recommend beach bags vs carts which are more difficult to pull in the sand. We did parasailing through Just Chute me which I highly recommend. I almost bought tickets to snorkel but would have been highly disappointed as the boats drop off snorkelers right at the beach we were on! Foodwise we recommend Boshamps, get there around 4:30/4:45 or be prepared for a couple hour wait! Bistrology was great for breakfast and common marketplace has delicious sandwiches. Saw a few turtles from the rocks by the beach and also walking to the end of the island.
