Everything was great. We enjoyed the adult hot tub, the view and the local Harbor walks. Since it was winter and chilly outside there weren't a lot of other vacationers and there was daily outside maintenance going on. None of that really took away from the great room/view.

Easy check-in. Love the location in the off-season. It was great to have an easy walk and drive to so many restaurants. There was a banging outside the window from something metal outside, so we had to download a noise maker to sleep, but we went away after two days.

This was a great property and was within walking distance to the board walk. We loved the restaurant where we were staying. There was a lot of excursions within walking distance and a nice restaurant across the street called McGuire’s. We would definitely stay here again.

I highly recommend the condo we stayed in. It was wonderful... it was very spacious, clean, comfortable, and with one of the best views of the gulf we have ever had on any of our stays in the Destin area. I would recommend your VRBO to any of my friends.
