Wonderful Stay!!

We stayed at Fred's place for the 4th of July holiday for five days and it was wonderful! The place was super clean and very comfortable. There were 6 of us and we all slept very well. Everyone was very impressed and happy with the condo. The pictures do not do it justice. The balcony views are incredible!! We never left the condo. We cooked there everyday and enjoyed everything the place has to offer. The beach is literally steps away! On any and all future trips to Destin, I will always stay at Fred's place. Aside from the condo just being perfect, Fred is a great host and communicates very well. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

Nice location and exactly as described.

Our stay at "Home by the sea" was very enjoyable. The condo is directly across Scenic 98 from the beach and is conveinient to all Destin activities. The condo is not a frontal property with a direct view of the beach but is a corner unit in the second row of buildings that has a nice angle on the ocean and is close enough to hear the surf during quiet hours. Every morning I would get up and enjoy some quiet time reading the scripture from the master bedroom balcony which has the best view of the ocean. It was excellent! The public beach acssess was conveininet and the beach was very nice and well maintained. The water was very clear and had the beutifull emerald color that Destin is known for! The condo was in good condition and offered all the necessary amenities and even had beach chairs for our use. The first floor entry way was a great place to store our beach gear and keep the sand out of the rest of the condo. If coming to Destin we would definatley consider a stay at this location again.

Truly enjoyed the multi-level aspect of the townhouse.. Having 2 1/2 bathrooms is a real + as well! Very close to the beach and right down the road from Pompano Joes too!

We were a bit disappointed in how trashy the public beach was.. We normally stay somewhere that has private beach area and its well maintained whereas this public beach was not cleaned at all for the most part.. The june-grass (sea weed) was piled up with trash/cans/toys etc in it day after day. I asked one of the chair rental folks and he said the city had not brought in the tractors and equipment to start cleaning the beaches yet this year..

Anyhow - the townhouse itself was great! I will have to say the office for the facility was never opened a single minute we were there which we found odd however, we didnt need the office as the owner had everything taken care of.

At the end of the day, I'd stay here again, but in July when the june grass is gone and the beaches are cleaned daily.
