My daughter (18) and I decided to take a small vacation together here as a getaway before she started school. We picked this spot because of the lazy river. To our surprise this was the most amazing stay. The condo has 2 decks. The main one is off the living room and faces the lazy river and Bay. They play great music out there and it was not busy while we were there.Then on the other side of the main bedroom, there is another deck that is mostly sunny facing the road and the gulf. It was nice to be able to sit out there in the sun. The kitchen had everything that we needed to cook but we mostly ate at the nearby restaurants. We did end up having to buy our own beach towels, those are not supplied even at the pool. They also don't supply any shampoo, conditioner or soap, so just make sure you bring everything you might need for personal use. The master bedroom had an actual fan! I sleep with a fan on and it's rare that renters have that, so bonus points for that. As far as location, this condo is very conveniently located across from the boardwalk with shops and restaurants. We did not rent a car. We just took Lyft, however we should have rented a car. We took a few trips into Destin and the parking is very easy. So I would recommend renting one. Also the best part of our trip was waking up early together and going across the street just past the boardwalk the the pier to watch the sunrise and the dolphins! Magical! I can't wait to return.
