Between the pools and easy beach access we had plenty to do. We brought our 8 year old and she enjoyed the 3 pools as well as the hot tubs. Also, the unit is located right by the elevator which we enjoyed as well.

Great Vacation

We loved the condo and how we could run down to the pool or beach whenever we wanted to. We spent a lot of time at the beach or on the balcony. We also loved how we could walk to go grab food, ice cream, or coffee! Overall, it was a great and relaxing vacation!

Perfect Family Rental

This condo was perfect for our family's needs! The bunkbeds were perfect for our two teenagers (heights being 5'4" and 5'8"). Bunkbeds are near the master bedroom, but not too close.

Great family resort

Great location in Destin. Awesome beach access, the tiki bar and staff were awesome. View from 17th floor was nice, downside was half the elevators were down so it took a little long to go up and down. Love the Destin area though. Great spring break! The family loved it.

Firstly, the unit was very clean and had a great view. The AC worked flawlessly the entire stay. The only problem we had was with the front door. It closes on its own when you open it, but it doesn't always latch. We actually discovered this when we returned from dinner and the door was open. Fortunately, nothing was missing. Also, the bed is very comfortable but the pillows are not good. I would suggest getting higher quality pillows for the bedroom. Otherwise, it was a great place and excellent complex. The tiki bar service at the beach was definitely a plus!
