“Good. Nice place, clean, all stuff needed for a stay. View was great. Only issue was only one elevator was operational during our stay. So, it was a long walk to the one that worked and there were waits to get on because of all the users only having access to one working elevator.”

“Very nice! Location was perfect. Not on the ocean but had an ocean view! Not all the Destin traffic, but close to most attractions. Can’t wait to go back!”
