Sunny Corner Condo, Ground Level, Direct Lazy River Access, Free Beach Service!

8/10 Good

"Really nice condo. However, the TV in the area where the bunk beds are did not work. The television in the master bedroom did not show a good picture. Other than that, we really enjoyed our stay."

Destin Festival!! Sept 24 - 28 Available

10/10 Excellent

"Beach side of the complex is the best, we had great view of the pool with its huge private patio, ocean could be seen through beautiful palm trees, the host provided all the beach supplies needed for those flying in with no vehicle access,these included buckets shovels, umbrellas, a big wagon to pull everything. The beach is very accessible from the ocean side. MS.Bonnie is a wonderful host who makes her guest feel very welcome, thank you Bonnie we will be contacting you for future visits."

🌊Gulf Dunes 605 - Emerald Destiny | Gulf Front+2 Pools | Beach Service🌊

10/10 Excellent

"The condo was exactly as described and pictured. We would definitely recommend the unit and/or working with Kris. We encountered an issue with the air conditioning and Kris was extremely responsive. She had a tech there within minutes. When the issue needed a part that was not available until morning, Kris arranged for us to spend the night in another unit so that we weren’t uncomfortable. The air conditioning was fixed he next morning and we were able to continue our vacation without missing a beat."

Destin West Pelican 505 ~ Amazing Views of the Lazy River

10/10 Excellent

"This was one of the best vacations I have ever taken. All my children 8,8, 14 and 15 were happy. Plenty to do and with in walking distance. Gas station next door, Publix 1 mile away. The pools are amazing. Bay was nice, even had a tiny beach area. Wish I brought fishing rods. Beach was right across the road but we used the bridge and walked over the road . The unit was better then expected, everything needed was there. Washer and Dryer was so nice. I was able to wash out beach towels. If your thinking of staying DO IT."
