Tides At Tops'l
Review Submitted: June 11, 2008
Date of Stay: June 2008
Our experience started with an assurance from the owner that we would not be disappointed. So, when arriving at the property I was hoping my high expectations would not damper our experience. We were delighted with The Tides from the gated entrance to the ocean view. The condo itself was very large and spacious and felt like home. The Master suite is very large and comfortable, with a King size bed and huge bath. We arrived at night, but the sounds of the waves, the view of the pool and beach from the huge balcony were too inviting to pass up. After unpacking, I sat outside, enjoying the sounds and smell of the ocean. My wife and children were delighted with the property as well, so the job of providing a nice relaxing place to stay had been accomplished.
The next morning we were greeted with a breathtaking view of the ocean, beach and pool area, which proved to be very convenient for us all week since with a small baby, once of us would often be in the room as she napped. In no way did I feel disconnected from the beach as I waited for her to awake, because the wonderful balcony makes you feel a part of all the activity at the pool and beach.
Noting some things about the stay that made it special-high speed internet allowed me to stay connected. The keypad door entry eliminated the need for a key. Parking was very convenient. The condo felt like home away from home due to its size and appointment. The location is convenient enough to excellent restaurants or you can opt to eat in. The location is also secluded from the hustle that is Destin proper.
This property is literally on the beach, and unlike some that advertise "beach front" or "Ocean View", you are merely steps down the boardwalk from the pool to beach. Amenities are available such as grill & bar as well as beach equipment for a nominal daily fee.
In summary, a great place to take your family young or old. Like us, you will not be disappointed.
