Family vacation

The check in process was amazing! We were able to check in at noon! The location was fantastic and the beach really was 75 steps away! The pool was great and close by and all the people around were very friendly. However, the floor was filthy! We all had to wear shoes in the townhouse! We had 8 people and there were not enough bath towels for all of us! A few more towels would have been nice! Overall, we enjoyed our stay and the location was worth it!

Great location!!!

Condo is literally less than a minute to the most beautiful beach!! The unit is nice, but missing some necessary items in the kitchen and some throw rugs. Picture of outdoor table and grill were very dated. Actual items were rusted and falling apart. On a good note, everything was replaced while we were there. Management company was great at responding to any issues that came up. Everyone in the community was very nice and welcoming. Traffic is tough on 98, but location is great to get to tons of nice restaurants. Really enjoyed our snowbird experience on Destin.

Great beach vacation

Our family of 10 had a wonderful time at “75 steps to the beach”. We loved being able to walk to a great beach in around 3 min to an umbrella and chairs already setup for us. We could go to the beach for a while, and go back, eat a sandwich, and return to the beach easily. Great restaurants near by. One night we grilled hamburgers/hot dogs on the grill provided. Another night we visited a Seafood Market called Blalock’s, just a couple of red lights down the street, and bought fresh shrimp and fish and prepared a great dinner. My wife said this was the best stocked kitchen we had ever stayed. Winn-Dixie is just across the street. Our teenage grandsons played pickleball on the courts across the parking lot. Both our daughters told me this place is one we need to return too. Sarah was fantastic to work with in setting up our stay. Our 4 year old grandson cried on the way home, because we had to leave “the beach house”. So we plan on a return.

South Bay By The Gulf is a community of townhouses, and there is a community of snowbirds that come every year too. So staying here felt like you were the new neighbors getting welcomed in. It was nice to have such a short walk to the beach. The tennis, pickleball, and shuffle board courts got resurfaced while we were here. Look like new now! Pretty convenient location to restaurants, groceries, shopping.
