This property was good and very nice. We were just not is happy with how far the beach was based on the listing description. Also the gate code to the beach were not correct. Other then those two problems the place was great would definitely consider it again.

The condo was clean. Very close to the pool. The walk to the beach is a little longer than anticipated but it was shaded and scenic. The beach was gorgeous. I recommend going early in the morning and in the evenings it's less crowded by chairs and umbrellas and you are more likely to see dolphins during those times. I also recommend doing the events on Harbor Walk. And I recommend the Hydro Jet excursion over the dolphin tours. We saw more dolphins and had more interaction with them then on the dolphin cruise. Overall we had a great time my only complaint was the upstairs shower head hardly had water pressure. P.S. if anyone is sleeping in the pullout sofa bring a fitted queen sheets and a blankets.

The condo is in poor condition, furniture is very dated, floors, tub and shower dated, patio area cracked bench dirty needed to be cleaned or painted, table in patio old umbrella broken. Beach chairs limited and could not be used, had to pay $30.00 a day to go to the beach to rent chairs. Long walk to beach area. Paid way to much to stay at this condo. Air conditioning in upstairs not working well would not recommend this condo to anyone

Poorly maintained. Tried to make the best of my stay. Had dull headache for 2 days, kitchen ceiling vent had BLACK MOLD on the outer edges of the vent, I am sensitive to mold. Called the owner she came and cleaned the black mold, she told me her husband would come the next day for additional cleaning, according to the owner her husband stopped by but no answer at door. Why her husband could not text, call or leave a note is beyond me. Furniture is dark wood, dusty upstairs and downstairs. Kitchen faucet leaks. Patio furniture dirty with leaves and dirt, concrete in poor condition. Owner lists fire extinguisher and smoke alarm on property it isn’t Living room couch uncomfortable, kitchen table seats uncomfortable. Other condos in the area are modern, cleaner and updated for a comfortable stay. Upstairs hot and difficult to sleep comfortably needs dehumidifier. Way overpriced, do not waste your time. Here is my email if you want to see the picture of the moldy kitchen vent, and filthy overhead kitchen light cover RN10392@yahoo.com Subject: Destin Filthy, poorly maintained, no smoke alarms or extinguisher, black mold

Great location for the price! The property listing is in NO way misleading. The walk to the beach is NOT that far. We traveled with 3 teenagers and a 5 and 4 year old. The littles never once complained about the walk even after hours at the beach. The bridge was actually the highlight of the walk because the kids were fascinated with all of the turtles! I do recommend to take advantage of the wagon provided as this will make your walk much more pleasant. The home was clean upon our arrival. Upstairs was hot but we anticipated that due to heat rising and it being mid day….Easy fix….shut the doors to the rooms, turn the air to desired temp and utilize fans if needed! Make sure the sliding glass door stays shut so the unit does not have to work harder. The pool was literally outside the door which was great for the younger kids. There is plenty of beach toys for kids if you don’t want to buy any and beach towels furnished. We enjoyed our stay and would definitely book here again. We had a small unforeseen issue but Lynda had it fixed within an hour. If your looking for affordability and a great location this is the place for you. There are things that need to be updated in bathrooms and areas around the house so if your looking to rent a “perfect modernized home” for this price, this is NOT the place for you. If your looking for a quiet, clean and family oriented home look no further!

This is the second time our family has stayed in this unit and we were a little disappointed on the condition it is in. I hate to leave this type of review but feel people should be aware of the condition of the condo. The kitchen has very few pots and pans so bring your own. There are no serving bowls. Plenty of plates and bowls. The dishes were not very clean when we arrived. We found large roaches in the unit through out our stay so do not leave food out!!! When I let the management know I was told it was just a part of being in Florida. So don’t leave food out. They are mostly downstairs. The floors downstairs were not mopped prior to us getting in the unit. The unit was not thoroughly cleaned. The sofa and loveseat definitely need to be replaced. If you are counting on having someone sleep on it, bring an air mattress! Also the television downstairs has limited channels. The master bedroom has a bed that is very uncomfortable and the quilt is thread bare, bring a blanket. If you don’t plan on hanging out in the unit it’s a good place to stay due to the closeness to the beach, pool and shopping. The unit has a good washer and dryer and plenty of towels.

Good location. Nice size rooms. Sitting areas nice and open with room for gathering. Galley kitchen is a bit tight, but workable. Nothing fancy, quite outdated but we weren't looking for a showroom condo. Little stingy on paper products and trash bags. Could use some personal touches like directions to beach walkway, tissues, maps or brochures of area attractions. Back yard area had a lot of trash scattered around and AC drain made a continuous puddle. Overall it was adequate.

Place smelled musty, obvious water damage in ceiling, no knobs on kitchen cabinets. The pool was really dirty. Beach wasn’t far, but we had to ask several people how to get there, as there was very little signage. We did like the turtles in the lake. Would not stay here again or recommend, though.

Southbay by the Gulf is an older property. Pros are that it’s townhouses and you park at front door, no waiting on elevators. Unit #30 has a nice large pool directly outside of front door. All 3 upstairs bedrooms have TVs and plenty of closet space. It was nice having a half bathroom downstairs. The kitchen was adequate, fridge made plenty of ice, good dishwasher, nice having a full size washer and dryer. We used the wagon located inside patio closet to take our chairs and umbrellas to the beach. Cons - unit #30 needs updating. There was an issue with the hot water heater but the property manager sent someone right out to repair it. Needs a new couch! The winding walk to the beach takes about 6 minutes but you walk over a nice bridge where you can fish and we stopped to feed turtles with bread we brought. Units #129 thru #132 would be much closer to the beach. Even though there’s a “private” beach, most of the space is taken up by umbrellas and chairs to rent. There’s some open space at the west end and you need to get out early to claim a spot. There’s a Winn Dixie across the street. There’s a Mellow Mushroom, The Pancakery and an ice cream shop all on the same side and within walking distance of Southbay by the Gulf. Overall we enjoyed our stay.
