5 Stars

The stay was everything that was described. We even saw the dolphins from our balcony on the last day. It was cool for a few days during our stay so we really didn't do much by the pools, but others did. The resort was beautiful and well maintained. If I had questions, they were answered promptly. We would definitely consider staying here again.

Amazing Condo Great Trip

We loved this condo! It was clean, spacious, plenty of room for our family or 6, and you can not beat the view of the bay from the bedroom window and the balcony! The hot tub was also a huge bonus! We would not want to stay anywhere else for any future trips to Destin!

Great Family Condo

We had a great time at this condo. It was very well stocked with items you could need and had plenty of space for our entire group. The amenities of the complex were an added perk; I only wish it would have been a few degrees warmer to fully enjoy them! Would definitely stay here again.

Great stay over New Year's

We had a great time at the unit, which was huge and just fantastic. We loved the hot tub and the amenities, which we got good use out of, even though it is winter. We were really pleased with the location, and it was just beautiful being on the water, a short walk across from the ocean, and close to my wife's family in Fort Walton.

Wonderful condo

The condo is just wonderful! My four kids love staying there. The view is gorgeous, the hot tub is great, and it's convenient to lots of restaurants and the Gulfarium. We had a minor maintenance issue and the Coastal Vibe team immediately answered our text and got it resolved quickly. We will stay again!

Family Christmas Vacay

The property was very clean and cozy. We enjoyed the view of the Gulf. We saw dolphins swimming by a few days out of our stay. Sam the squirrel stopped by the last couple of days, and Tom the cat decided to pull guard for us during our last night We will definitely return to this property, perhaps during spring break or summer vacation.

Family Vacation

Beautiful condo, perfect location with a quiet view, and so many memories made. 3 kids spent sooooo much time swimming in the heated pools that our youngest went from never putting his head under to swimming underwater by the end of the trip. Loved being able to walk over the skywalk to the beach side. Loved the sea lion and dolphin shows at the nearby Gulfarium. Looking forward to a return trip!
