This place is amazing. So spacious and plenty of room for the kids. Its very convenient with being so close to the beach and the waterhose on the back patio. There were plenty of toys and beach chairs to use. It was very simple and clean. I cant wait to book again.

Amazing time and place

Amanda - host, was amazing! The place was nice and conveniently located. Lots of amenities. Only “complaint” was the air conditioner is a little hot but we like it cold. Nothing unbearable. Would stay here again for sure! Love Destin.

The ultimate in relaxation

There were 5 of us adults, my 6 yo, and my 2 yo traveling. The check in was easy, the home was perfect and met all of our needs, the kitchen was spacious, and it was the best place to come and relax after a fun day at the beach! Was walking distance to so many places (beach included) and there were toys, umbrellas, a cooler, and any beach need you could have! Would definitely recommend to any larger groups/families. Our children (6 and 18) geeked out over the bunk room. We will for sure stay again next time! Love , love, love!!!

Dynamite

This town house if perfect for a family of 10 . The only complaint is it stayed allittle warm inside for us. When we reached out to our host she put the unit on 70 degrees. We had an issue with tiny tiny ants every where inside the towmhouse so we just kept everything in the freg EVERYTHING.

Love our stay!

Condo is clean and comfortable. Great bunk bed room for the kids. Only thing is the tv in the main bedroom would not work due to limited internet. Other than that everything was great. Everything is close by in car. Restaurants walking distance. Beach is walking distance but you have to pay $30 for 2 chairs and an umbrella so we went to Walmart, bought umbrellas and drove to Henderson Park. We had a lovely time.

Girls trip

This was the perfect spot to have our girls trip weekend. Just a short walk down the boardwalk to the beach, and super close to all attractions. The mexican restaurant next door was not that great, but that has no bearing on this property.
