Great location

Great location for a family trip and a quick walk across the road to the public beach access. Although, not super clean and did not have some of the necessary items to stay at this place (i.e. parking pass), overall was a great stay and good location. One thing though, my mother and father stayed right upstairs and was 10x as nice and clean. Would likely stay at this place again!

Super place with easy access to the beach. Condo is in good condition and had a small need for maintenance and property company responded quickly and fixed the trouble immediate (shower drain). Will be visiting next year & booking here.

Wedding weekend

Our daughter got married on the Saturday of our stay. The rehearsal and wedding was at the beach directly across the street, so it was very useful to just be across the street for a few older family members to be able to wait until right before the wedding. It was a great place with beautiful views.

Our favorite Destin condo

We absolutely love this unit and the Grand Caribbean East property. This is our second time staying in this unit and we won't stay anywhere else in Destin. The unit is beautiful and cozy yet spacious and clean and has everything needed for a very comfortable stay. The balcony overlooks the pool and street traffic, providing an amazing view of the area. Since the unit is across from the beach you can also see and hear the water from the balcony. This unit has quick easy access to the beach and walking trail that is steps from the condo. No car is needed to go to the beach or to go for a walk/run. The property is also close to the main highway for quick and easy access to shopping and other Destin activities. This unit is also very kid friendly. We had our 4-year-old and 22-month-old with us and they loved this unit as well. They had a blast playing on the balcony and watching all the people and the sightseeing helicopter that flew by many times a day. The on sight amenities are also amazing. There is a pool that I've mentioned and a hot tub, grills, picnic tables, and easy parking. We highly recommend this unit.

Great little condo close to the beach

My high school Senior was staying with friends for Spring Break in Destin and my husband and I thought we would "tag along" and stay nearby. We haven't been to Destin in ages and were pleasantly surprised! We had some of the best seafood that we've had in ages and there was plenty to do no matter your interests. We almost didn't say at this condo because of the negative review. But after staying here, I think it was completely unfair! It is not the owner's fault that a previous guest illegally smoked pot. And yes the pool chairs etc were in bad shape. If that is something that is important to you, I would bring your own. But the location was perfect and the beach was just across the street. For the price, it was a great value. The unit is nicely decorated and well stocked for it's size. As far as the pool and hot tub are concerned... there were times where is was very busy. There seemed to be a mix of family and young people. But there were a few owners that live there that were completely comfortable enforcing the 10PM rule. We never heard any loud noises after that the entire time we were there. I'm not sure the next time that Destin will be back on the list but I wouldn't hesitate to stay here again.

Great condo with ocean views

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Great condo located on old scenic highway 98 with views to the ocean on the left and right. Perfect place for our 5 person family. Unit comes with beach equipment, toys, umbrellas, chairs, etc. the unit is on the second floor and is in front of the pool. Access to the unit is in the back parking lot and there is no elevator, just stairs. Unit was clean and did the job as the majority of our time was exploring and being at the beach.

Cable company were changing out boxes in the Condos and it would have been nice to have been informed about that before hand. Drains in bathroom sink and tub did not drain well at all. Beach chairs were old and rusty and needs to be replaced. Location was perfect and overall the stay was ok.

Short Stay

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The unit was nice. We believe the management company was unorganized. They threaten to fine you if the discount card in the unit is missing when you leave. Our unit did not have a discount card upon arrival, had to call about that. They threaten a fine if you do not have your dishes washing in the dishwasher when leaving. We could not get our dishwasher to work, had to call about that. They charge $170 cleaning fee to clean up after you leave, even though you take out the trash and get dishes in dishwasher. However, it would have been even better if they would have cleaned the unit prior to our arrival. Dust on surfaces, hair in tub, sink and bathroom floor. Hairs laying around make us very unhappy. We cleaned it up, as we had to. We may recommend this unit as it was modern and a nice location. If renting this unit we would advise to confirm with management that it gets cleaned prior to arrival and that they keep up their end of the bargain. They delivered the discount tag, but it was too late for us to use it, as we had a short stay.

The only complaint I have was no sheets were provided for the sofa bed. The can opener and some of the utensils were rusted. The broom that was provided was broken. I contacted management with no response, so I went and bought one so I could keep the floors swept. Overall it was a wonderful experience because of the location to the beach. Would recommend staying there again.

Great vacation!

We really enjoyed our stay! Even though the beach was across the street, it was still easily accessible and just a short walk. The ocean water was the clearest that I have ever seen and the sand was so soft and fluffy. The pool was clean and we didn’t have to share it with a ton of people. The condo was clean and had everything we needed. We will definitely be back for a return trip.

A little disappointing

Rating Details: The property manager was adequately helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Overall the condo was fairly nice and clean but there were a few things that could have been updated/ changed (bedroom tv is tiny, small appliances were very dated). Half of the balcony patio furniture (2 chairs) was held together with black electrical tape and the other half (wicker chair) the bottom was busted out of and would be dangerous to sit on. On day 2 of our stay the pool and hot tub were drained to be refinished without any notice to us. It was a very loud process most of the day so we weren't able to enjoy our view or the pool/hot tub. I sent a text curious if I had missed some sort of notification that the pool and hot tub would not be in use during our stay with no response.
