Further details for this vacation condo rental in Destin, Florida

Interior and Security: There are queen size beds in the second and third bedroom, and three full baths. The second bedroom is, in effect, a second master suite with access to its own full bath. The great room sofa is a queen sleeper, and an additional roll-away single twin bed is also included, most suitable for a child. This condominium has all the comforts of home. Tastefully decorated, Villa Champagne offers more than 1950 square feet of living space, so you will be able to enjoy your time indoors as much as your time on the beach. Destin Towers is a gated resort, with modern electronic security at all accesses (even the beach gate), so you will feel safe and secure during your relaxing stay.

Southern Living magazines recommends Destin Towers: The April 2007 edition of Southern Living Magazine contains a feature article on vacationing in Destin called the 'Destin Family Beach Guide.' You can go to Southern Living on line, and search Destin to find the Southern Living Destin Family Beach Guide Slide Show. The feature includes information on lodging, activities, restaurants, and shopping. The authors conclude that when vacationing in Destin, renting a condo is the way to go, but choosing a condo can be tricky. To assist the reader, the authors list their top picks in the 'Condo Favorites' section of the article, and name Destin Towers as one of the top picks, noting that after a few days at Destin Towers, you will feel more like a resident than a visitor.

Beach and beach services: Beach service is available from March - November at very reasonable daily or weekly rates. Destin Towers is a low density condominium and owns the Gulf-front beach. There are only 45 units in Destin Towers, and only about half of them are available for rental, so the common areas are uncrowded, and you won't have to jostle to get that 'front row' beach spot. Also, with two elevators, you won't be wasting valuable vacation time waiting for an elevator. This is a non-smoking condominium. No pets are allowed. Minimum age for renters is 25 years old.

Other Activities: Deep sea fishing. Destin harbor provides easy access to Gulf of Mexico

Our Best Condo Experience

Mike and MJ Cleveland, OH
Review Submitted: February 13, 2009 Date of Stay: February 2009
There is no hyperbole in the description of this beautiful oceanfront condo. When you walk trough the door you feel as if you have walked into the pages of "House Beautiful". Unlike many condos we have rented, everything we need was provded, and Gerry called us on the first day to assure that all was well. Try Commander's Palace for a great gourmet dinner, and should you care to cook for yourself in the well-appointed kitchen, go to Destin Ice Seafood for their fresh shrimp, home made key lime pie, and prepared foods from their deli. Acme Oyster House at the wharf in SanDestin is great as well. Golfers will enjoy playing at Emerald Bay Golf Club (bring an extra sleeve of balls as there is water all around!)

Better than Imagined

MSBanker Summit, MS USA
Review Submitted: September 22, 2009 Date of Stay: September 2009
The condo was everything in the description and so much more. It was spacious and tastefully decorated, clean and equipped with whatever we could have needed. The master suite with LARGE walk-in shower and private balcony was to die for. The kitchen was stocked with lots of extras. And, of course, the view from the balconies was beautiful! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will go back.

The condo was truly beautiful. The views from the balconies will stay with you for a long time. The Champagnes try to make your stay as perfect as possible. The beach and water are the best although a bit chilly in November!

HAC171199 Alto, Texas
Review Submitted: October 13, 2008 Date of Stay: October 2008
Our stay at the Villa Champagne was absoulutely awesome! Hurricane Ike was roaring in the Gulf, and the beaches were closed so we spent a lot more time than intended inside which made us appreciate even more the spacious and homey comforts of the suite. Without a doubt, I would recommend this as a place for a family or couple to stay.
Owner's Response: Sorry about the weather, but we are very happy that Josh and his group enjoyed our beach front home for their vacation.
