The property was incredibly clean, and the views were terrific. It was nice to be behind 24/7 security (though totally NOT needed in this area), and in more of a private resort community. The hosts were terrific, and incredibly responsive when a surprise need to connect occurred with the door keypad. All good. This one was great!
Wow! I've stayed at many rentals over the years and this one truly was above and beyond my expectations. In addition to comfortable beds, great view, and plentiful kitchen equipment, this unit also had many extras such as soft throw blankets, lots of hooks on the walls, beach towels, a welcome box of travel size shampoos & soaps, and even a first aid kit. Thank you Sarah for all the extras you provide your guests!The complex is at the back of a large gated community and felt safe for our teens to go between the unit, pool and beach without us. The large balcony was perfect for foggy mornings listening to the waves. I saw other guests enjoying basketball, pickle ball and shuffleboard on site. I would definitely stay in this complex and specifically in this unit again.
Overall stay was fun and the condo was very nice. Unit needed floors cleaned better and several light bulbs had to be changed out. We would stay there again.
The condo was very nice and clean. There was plenty of room for the 5 of us staying there and for our family to come visit. The kitchen was very nice and the appliances were new and updated. The view of the beach and ocean was still excellent despite being on the side of the building. Overall an excellent trip and stay!
This is a perfect location...easy beach access (and great views) as well as fun family amenities. We played putt putt golf multiple times in our 4 days at this site. Our son also enjoyed the basketball court. We were going to play pickle ball, but that court area was often busy when we wanted to play. Both Sarah and Brad were very quick to reply to any questions we had while we were there. This is a location I would stay at again on a Destin vacation.
The resort is beautiful and clean. The room was as pictured and most importantly, it was clean. Typically, I go in and clean before bringing in luggage, but that wasn't necessary. The beds are comfortable. Brought a mattress topper, but didn't have to use it as I have hip/back issues.
There were things for both children that traveled with me from basketball, pools, chess, and mini golf. The balcony was the best part. Enjoyed the view and had a great seat for fireworks. The poolside restaurant had great food after a long day at the beach.
I would recommend this unit and plan to stay again in the future.
We had never been to Destin/area so we never knew where to stay. This was in a private little area way off the road on the beach. Cute little condo. Had everything we needed. We loved this location as we had afternoon sun rather than morning sun. We loved sitting on the balcony (huge BTW) and having either a sweet tea or an afternoon adult beverage. The beds were comfy & roomy. The "private" pool dedicated for this condo building only was much nicer as it wasn't as crowded as the other pool. The location was great. We had everything we needed. No issues finding food to eat at either. We chose to make a few meals for supper. Overall. This was a great place! We are contemplating booking for 2 weeks next year, this far in advance. Thanks to the owners for a great visit! We really enjoyed it.
Wonderful views... stayed dec 23 to 27th and had really cold weather... but unit was cozy with beautiful views... veranda was spectacular... few small things were needed such as cheese grater..knife sharpener...(knifes needed sharpening) and if you are a family staying a week and cooking no pantry or place to store food... all on counters...also wonderful large shower in master ... a plastic bench would be great for older people to sit on... and beds were very comfortable... this would be fantastic in warm weather months beautiful pools and great access to beach....
Beautiful place and location, but noisy parking lot
The unit itself was large and beautiful. Very clean and fit everyone easily. The pool was relatively warm and we all enjoyed shuffleboard and mini-golf. The security team is really on top of their game, almost too much. They would come around and actually wake people up from their naps by the pool to check that they had yellow wristbands on (mandatory for the Tides guests to use the upper pool.)The main problem with this place was that while the balcony was HUGE with great views and lots of seating, you couldn't even hear the waves because the parking lot you overlook is so loud. He still needed to work for 3 days of our trip but figured at least he could work outside with the view. Unfortunately there was someone sawing all day for almost our entire stay (just down below in the parking lot) and the neighboring parking lot of the condos next door had some refridgerated food truck that had a generator going 24/7. It was obnoxiously loud. It would go off for a few minutes and you'd think it would be done but then it would start up again for hours. My daughter and I were excited to sleep on the balcony one night as an adventure but we couldn't with the noise. Made it very unpleasant to be out there at all. We appreciated the management company we used as they were helpful and in other circumstances we'd stay there again, but the noise and getting woken up from napping at the pool really stunk. Not the relaxing trip we were looking for.
Place was clean. Other than the master closet door being off the track, everything worked perfectly. The kids loved the bunk beds. The building is nice, pools are great. Only drawback was the beach umbrella rental was outrageous. Quoted me $120/day for a an umbrella and 2 chairs. The building is at the end of the hotel row, and we found it a lot easier to walk 100m down the beach and set up our own in front of the houses to the East. Beach is beautiful. Management was easy to deal with. Emails replied to. Calls and texts answered. All the codes given worked. No fuss. No problems. Would consider returning in a heartbeat.
We loved this condo, the balcony is HUGE and has a stunning view! The condo itself is very spacious, plenty of room for us..3 adults and 2 kids. I do have to say the master bed was not very comfortable, you can tell itâs old with obvious dips on each side, but not a deal breaker. We did have issues with all of the remotes in the bedrooms, they were all either out of batteries, had corroded batteries in them, or just didnât work at all. TV remotes and Fan remote in the master...the fan remote was more important to me because I need to sleep with a fan on, but we did find an occult ting fan in the closet so I just plugged that in. And these things are easily fixable, and werenât so big of a deal..but could be to someone who needs a tv to go to sleep with.
