Fantastic Family Vacation 2012!!
Submitted: May 18, 2012
Stayed: May 2012
My family (4 kids, 4 grandkids, and my sister) and I really enjoyed our stay here! It was clean and well stocked with everything (just like home), including bath wash in all the bathrooms. Just bring your own beach towel and you will enjoy! There are 3 floors with 3 balconies and I had to try all 3. The views are magnificent and amazing! I loved having my morning coffee off the living room balcony. I really enjoyed grilling hotdogs/hamburgers a couple of nights with the kids while watching the ocean waves. Soooo relaxing!! At night, it was great sitting on balcony reading my nook, star gazing and listening to the ocean. Heaven!! Their are 2 bedrooms on the bottom level with a little kitchenette (sink, fridge, mircowave, coffee maker) which was really handy for drinks or snacks for those downstairs.
Linda was great to deal with and was easy to reach if we had any questions. Her welcoming notes made me feel truly welcome when I first walked in.
We discovered a great restaurant, Pompano Joe's, within walking distance, about a block or so. The food was great, there are out side decks with live music (relaxing), and you can just throw something on over your swimsuit or dress up, whatever you prefer. Another favorite of mine and my family is Mcguires at the other end of Hwy 98 toward Destin Harbor. They have daily lunch specials for about $6.79 and their food is awesom with large portions for feeding a large bunch. The nachos alone will feed up to 6 people for $10.00! It's rated the 2nd best place to eat in Destin. AJ's is another favorite. They have outside dining with a view of the harbor and fishing boats and the food is great.
My sister and I tried our hand at deep sea fishing and had a really great time. The kids went para sailing. My favorite times were those when we were all on the beach though! My youngest grandson had a blast (he's 3 yrs old) looking for seashells and little fish to put in his sand bucket. The older kids loved playing frisbee in the sand.
I can't express how wonderful it was to have my family there and to see the wonderful time they were having. It was such a blessing! One day, me and my grand daughter got up early and walked out to the ocean and she said, " Nana, it's so beautiful here, I keep thinking I'm dreaming, but I'm not." And she was right, it was like a dream, a beautiful dream that you wake up from with wonderful, happy memories.
I thank you Linda for helping to make this a dream vacation! God Bless!
