our family vacation spot
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 07/14/07
My family and friends have stayed here for the past 5 years every summer, so I think I know my way around this place pretty good. I love the location of these condos. They are right across the street from the sand and the Gulf. These are individually owned condos so it is a good idea to get the person you are renting from to thouroughly explain the particular condo you will be staying in. (# it sleeps, bathrooms, pullout couches, etc.) The pool is very small with only a 19 persons capacity. There are 2 hottubs, which is nice. There is a sauna, sometimes it works, sometimes is doesn't. There is also live music on the pool deck every Thursday night. Another way to access the beach is the skybridge on the pooldeck. The gate to go down the enormous flight of stairs to the beach is only accessible with you room key. It is the same for the gate on the street to the beach. This is a good safety feature along with the security guards they have. There is usually plenty of parking in their parking deck. One of the only complaints I have is about the elevators. There are many rooms but only two elevators and THEY ARE SOOOO SLOW. I use the maintenance elevator sometimes. It much faster and they can only scold you if you get caught. I do think that these condos are a bit overpriced. But, so is everything else in Destin. Get ready to shell out some cash!
