You can’t beat the close proximity to the beach. Just a short walk. The issue I had was there are 2 private beaches. On the left is Destin Towers, on the right is Holiday something. RealJoy couldn’t tell me specifically which beach we had access to. We wore our armbands per the rules and Hasselhoff & the Destin Towers beach police told us to leave. They said we were “supposed to be over there” (Holiday). I texted RealJoy, which was cool, I got a response pretty quick most of the time. I asked which beach we were supposed to use. The response I received was “you’re supposed to have access to the private beach but (regarding Holiday beach) use your best judgement. Not helpful. There are signs posted on the border of the beaches facing both directions saying “private beach, not trespassing.”
We took our chances and used Holiday the rest of the time, no one bothered us.
Now we went during Fall Break, 2nd week of Oct, and I can imagine how crazy busy these 2 little strips of beaches could be during the summer!
This unit has a king bed that’s on a split adjustable frame. The owner, or somebody, didn’t leave the remote, or lost it. The head of it was propped up a little. The worst of it is that it’s not a split mattress. It was very uncomfortable the first night. My wife went & slept of the trundle in the kids’ room. At least a maintenance guy was available on a Sunday to come look at it, then leave to get the owner’s permission to take some bolts out to lay it flat. He came back in a couple of hrs and did that.
We saw about 10 big roaches during our stay.
This place needs some kid friendly dishes & cups. At least dishes, everything is breakable. It also needs a skillet or griddle pan to make your kids bacon & pancakes. And a toaster. Other than that you pretty much have what you need.
The kids liked the full bed w/ twin bunk. 2 bathrooms & the washer dryer came in real handy too.
