DESTIN WINS TRAVEL CHANNEL'S BEST FAMILY BEACH 2013:
'Focus on the family is in our DNA'
Published: Friday, March 8, 2013 at 13:56 PM.
DESTIN — What Emerald Coast residents have known for years has been confirmed with the Travel Channel’s online poll for the Best Family Beach of 2013.
The Destin area received 43 percent of the votes cast for the best beach destination for a family. Also in the running were the Outer Banks, N.C., Paradise Island in the Bahamas and Cape Cod, Mass.
“This didn’t just happen,” said Dan O’Byrne, director of Okaloosa County’s tourist development department. “The focus on the family is in our DNA. Our attributes are self- evident from our accommodations, our beaches, our people. We’ve been the family vacation spot for decades.
Right on the beautiful, sugar-white sands of Destin. Destin Towers is a low density complex with only 45 units, only half of which are on the rental market. This makes for a relaxing, uncrowded beach vacation spot.
In addition to an uncrowded beach environment, the two bedroom beachfront condominium units in Destin Towers are extremely large (1350 square feet, plus generous balcony space) compared to others in the Destin area. This gives our guests room to stretch out and relax, inside as well as outside.
The Chateaux Champagne condo in Destin Towers (#141) was the nicest accommodations we have experienced in our many years of vacationing in FL. We really enjoyed the quietness and privacy of the Destin Towers. Also, the unit was very well-equipped and decorated. One suggestion for improvement would be to go to a keyless entry system. If we get back to Destin in the future, we hope to stay in the Champagne's Chateaux again.
The weather was great the week we were there. The place was very nice, but it could use some improvements such as a new king size mattress and pillows. We didn"t know we had to bring our own toliet paper and kleenex! A little paint would do wonders. Very nicely decorated and overall a good stay!
Clean, comfortable, and in a great location. Loved the easy access to the beach, the beautiful heated pool, and the spacious balcony. Would definitely book again.
Everything was fine except 3 things. Killed 3 roaches, 2 in the mail living area, one in the cabinet beside the microwave. The lamp beside the bed in the master is missing a bulb. The dishwasher was difficult to start. You had to close, open, close again to get it to operate.
The only issue we had with the condo was the noise from above. Every footstep and furniture movement was heard. The condo was beautiful and very well stocked. The location was great and the view was wonderful! Overall great vacation!
We had a wonderful time in Destin. This is a nice unit. Gerry’s communication with us thru email was excellent and precise. The instructions were more than accurate and helpful. The unit was clean and well stocked. It has a gorgeous view of the ocean/beach and ample balcony to enjoy it. The only thing that doesn’t work as well as you wish is the WiFi , but that could be provider issue . Also, the property gas grills were not working at the time we were there. Overall our experience was a fantastic one.
Destin is located in the Florida panhandle, on Florida's 'Emerald Coast,' between Pensacola and Panama City.
