An amazing time

The property was amazing, just like the listing showed it. The property manager was easy to communicate with the entire time we were there. We also ask them for an extra day and they were able to make that happen within 24 hours. Very well maintained and clean home away from home. I will definitely use them again for our next trip to Destin.

Totally Recommend

I can't say enough good things about our condo. I am a total clean freak and the level of cleanliness in the condo was amazing!! We had such a good time and the small things like having a chain on the door and a key pad entry was so nice and made us feel very safe. The bed was so comfy and the short walk to the private beach was stellar! We can't wait to book with them again. It was nice to not have to worry and to be able to do what we came to do, relax!! Thank you guys for everything and making this trip one for the books!

Breathe Easy made everything easy from day 1. Enjoyed the condo, quick walk to the beach, and the free perks that were added. Everyone had a great time! The only thing that I had a problem with was the lighting in the spare bedroom. Need a light fixture.

Family fun

Location is great. Condo is as pictured. It was a little different renting from a company instead of an individual. The kitchen could use an upgrade and I thought the water wasnt very hot. I think better bedding would be nice with extra blankets. I brought one from home so it was good. Overall the condo was good. The grounds was maintained very well. It was roomy for us 4.
