My family of 4 made a quick getaway before school started. We've been to destin/ft. .walton many times. This location was close to everything in town without being able to see it. The beach is a little small in this part of destin so we weren't able to put up our own tent, which was fine as our kids are older, but if they were younger, that would have been a problem for us. Very impressed with Holiday Isle and would stay again. Loved having security and a gated community. The condo itself was amazing. Clean, the beds were comfy, plenty of space, good ocean view, and the kitchen was well stocked with everything. The *only thing I would say, is this unit would not be good with little kids. Ours are 12 and 14, but the tables are made of glass, and there are reachable breakables everywhere so I would be a nervous wreck with toddlers. The couches/living room furniture are small and uncomfortable, so not a spot for a family movie night or anything.
