Our family of 7 really enjoyed our stay and felt comfortable the entire time. There was plenty of space, the complex had great amenities (swimming pools were great, as was parking), and it was an overall wonderful experience. A few things that stood out:
1. Beach location. The complex has fantastic access to the beach, and the people running the beach service were great to work with.
2. The unit. It was fantastically decorated, beds were extremely comfortable, appliances and televisions were modern, the balcony was great.
3. Overall location. We loved this was located on the beach and in a quiet part of Ft. Walton/Destin, away from all the go cart tracks and other touristy elements (although all those things are a 10-15 minute drive). There were two great seafood restaurants within walking distance, and the area was safe.
If we’re being nit-picky:
1. There were times when the balcony was unusable because of the people on adjacent balconies were smoking. Not the fault of this unit’s owners of course, but wish there were better controls of unit smoking.
2. If you use your personal Netflix accounts on the smart TVs, make sure you delete them before you leave. (They do not automatically reset like at hotels). A subsequent renter could pirate your account if you’re not careful.
3. This unit faced the beach and had outstanding views. There were many units at this complex that are on the side and do not have good beach views — make sure you do your homework and get a unit like this one. One of the “side units” would have provided an entirely different experience. Make sure you get a unit like this one and aren’t tricked into one of the other units (doing our research, we found that some of the other unit owners aren’t very transparent about their unit’s location. After seeing the complex in person, we were so glad we did our homework and selected a unit like this one).
Again, we had a wonderful time.
