The property is stunning. The beach is feet away from the front door. Destin is a beautiful town with a lot of things to keep you busy even in the off-season. Patrick was a wonderful host, very informative and helpful from the day we booked until after we checked out. We will be back!! Great experience!

We enjoyed our stay at this condo. It was clean. It was a great location, right by the pool and a 2 minute walk to the beach. We had good communication with the owners and we had no issues during our stay. I would highly recommend.

Great location short walk to beach and next to the pool. Lots of great restaurants and stores within a couple of miles, but the condos still feel remote and peaceful.

We really enjoyed our stay and everything was as advertised. Condo was clean and well supplied and the location next to the pool was convenient. The beach towels for all of us and beach toys for the grandkids were great and they had a wonderful time. The beach is a minute walk away from the condo and was beautiful even after the hurricane. The owner is very responsive and super nice and he kept in contact with me due to the fact we were arriving a day after the hurricane. Very happy with our stay and hope to return soon.

The house was everything it was advertised and more. We had everything we needed, for all ages. We ranged in age from 9 months to 70, and no one lacked for comfort. The grounds are beautiful, the home is comfortable, the beach is easily accessible. I would absolutely stay again and bring my family.

Clean, great furnishings, kitchen had everything we needed and great beach stuff for all ages. Easy walk to beach and chairs and umbrella provided was a nice touch. We’ve been renting places at the beach from Mexico Beach to Destin for 30+ years and this place ranked near the top in all areas.

We love the location of this property. It’s easy to go back and forth from the beach to the home (even for little kid potty breaks!). Also right next to the pool, we love it. I have been in a number of the other southbay townhomes, and this one was my favorite from a decor/cleanliness standpoint.

This was the perfect beach vacation. Everything we needed for a low key, fun, family vacation. The lake was an added bonus for my oldest son, who loves to fish. Property was perfect for what we needed!

We had 6 adults and 3 yr old and fit perfectly
The kitchen was well stocked. Seating for everyone was ample, The community was close to attractions, Destin Commons, outlets, and restaurants. It was only about a block to the beach. It was great to have an umbrella and 2 chairs set up on the beach daily, There was 4 beach chairs in the owner’s closet. We would highly recommend a stay here.

We loved our stay at this wonderful townhouse. The beach and pool access were very convenient. We enjoyed the private beach and free beach set up. The beach service gentleman even had great things to say about the owner. The townhouse was updated and had every convenience that we needed. The house was clean and was exactly like the pictures. The owners were friendly and explained things perfectly. Overall we can’t say enough good things about the place. We will definitely come back and stay here again.

2 minute walk to the beach, 2 chairs ready for you by 9am in front of the waves, and 5-10 minute drive to all the restaurants you’d want to try on a Destin vacation.
This listing is clean and was great for our stay. Wish there was the basic kitchen pantry items like salt, pepper, and cooking oil included but we enjoyed our stay!

Another amazing stay in this house, it is our second time and plan on coming back next year. Perfect spot for beach and pool time. It is a beautiful unit. Love the updates and the oversized beach towels added this time. We enjoyed every minute of our time here. We had the best vacation ever. Our 2 year old and 4 year old had so much fun. Owners are super responsive and so nice as well. Wouldn’t change a thing about our stay.

From the beginning, everything went smoothly. All of my questions were answered almost immediately before arrival. Check in was easy. We did not experience any maintenance issues. Everything was as described/pictured. We loved being next to the pool and a very short walk to the breathtaking beaches. The location is near everything. The home was equipped with everything our family needed during our stay. We are already excited to rebook for next year.

This is our 3rd time to the complex and second time in this unit. I loved the updates they did to the extra counter space/drink refrigerator since our last visit, you can tell the owner really cares about the guest experience. Great beach and comfy beds. If you do go and plan to eat in a lot - bring extra paper towels and trash bags - not a big deal but a friendly tip.

Nice property for a getaway. Only one downside. The neighboring properties don't respect that screaming children in the pool can be annoying.
Pleasant owner, property manager and maintenance staff.
