It was a fine place to stay for 3 nights, but not worth the money.
Pros:

It was on the Gulf and close to Destin restaurants.

Cons:

It felt like a tired place. Elevator light broken the whole time we were there, pizza box on the ground of the 4th floor elevator area not picked up for 2.5 days. Even saw a cleaning person walk right by it…

Beautiful stay, quiet and comfortable.
Pros:

The condo was beautiful and quiet. Wonderful location and views. Accommodations were as promised.

Cons:

Security was a little rude at times. The elevators are being remodeled and the new one they have done closes its doors too quickly.

Great place to stay, had everything you would need.
Pros:

The location is great. The view off the balcony is beautiful.
