⭐️ Whenever I vacation, I look for 3 things: A gorgeous view, A comfortable bed and a nice resort close to everything. This condo checked all my boxes and then some. I would recommend 604 and this resort to anyone seeking a great vacation!⭐️

⭐️ If you’re debating on whether to book, you will not be disappointed with this rental. It was exactly as described and was immaculate. The kitchen was well-equipped with everything we could possibly need, and the starter supplies provided were more than what we needed during our stay. The hosts were so friendly and responsive, and it’s very clear they care about you having a great experience at their property. This was our first time in Destin, and the location was perfect. We loved having breakfast on the balcony in the morning and spotted several dolphins swimming, which my daughter absolutely loved. The beach is beautiful and clean, and we did rent umbrellas prior to our stay which I recommend. It’s a very short drive to the marina, shopping, and great dining. We also loved visiting the water park right across the street. ⭐️

⭐️ Impeccably clean, great place to stay, we enjoyed our vacation there very much. The condo was so cute, and very clean. I highly recommend this condo to stay!⭐️

Our family of five had an amazing spring break vacation! The unit was perfect for us—our kids especially loved the bunk beds, and the kitchen had everything we needed to prepare our meals. The breathtaking beach view made our stay even more special. We would absolutely return!

We booked a trip for a quick beach vacation. Loved the security at the resort. The condo was exactly as pictured and we had everything we needed in the condo to cook. The option to order food and drinks from the waitresses was a huge plus in keeping everyone fed and happy. A+ stay and trip!

This property was as good, if not better, than advertised. It felt larger than I had thought it would be. I think 6 people would be very possible, but for just my wife and I, it was quite roomy. The balcony was our favorite spot in the evening, and walking down to the water takes only minutes with direct beachfront access and no streets or boardwalks to cross. Perfect! My wife used both pools during our stay and said they were very nice. The condo itself was nicely updated with well thought out design that constantly remind you that you have arrived at the beach. I didn't try the bunk beds, but I bet young kids would love them! We are already planning our next visit and hope this condo will be available. The manager of this rental, Kris, was responsive and very helpful.

From check in to check out, this condo was terrific. The only slight complaint I have was there are no "beach towels" available, and had to purchase these at WalMart. Not a huge deal, but would be helpful to know prior to arriving. Another issue, not related to the condo, is their beach chair service company. We made reservations weeks before arriving for 3 days, and found that the last day was not included even though our reservation showed it was. The gents putting out the chairs would not assist, and quite rude with their responses saying we had to call their office. We did and were told by the operator to try and work it out with the boys placing the chairs. Again they were rude and would even discuss the situation. VERY UNPROFESSIONAL and has since been disputed with my credit card company. Would have saved them a lot of headache and money to do what is right the first time.

I have stayed at many VRBO units over the years. I do a lot of research before I make my final selection. I have rarely been disappointed and usually my choices are all close to a perfect match. I can usually judge if the unit is good as soon as I walk in the door. This unit was as close to perfect as you can get. When you walk into the unit, you see that green table and chair set on the balcony and the Gulf behind- PERFECT. I do not think I even unpacked. I grabbed a glass of wine and sat on the balcony - Just looking at the view. And when the sun set, it was perfect every day. You could not make it any better. Then add the pools, the hot tubs, the ocean. To top it off all the restaurants were close. It was smack dad in the middle. Just as advertised
