Ok, we loved our trip to Destin Florida, being out first, we left knowing that this is some place we would like to return in the future, but it wasn't all beaches and sunshine, there were some downsides.
There is only one thing preventing me from leaving a 5 star review for our stay, and that was the sleeping situation. The murphy bed's mattress was very uncomfortable and it was only a full size. Hardly enough room for one adult, but that was nothing compared to the couches pull out bed which was a larger queen size, but was only like 3 inches thick and felt like you were just laying on metal, because you were. We had to go purchase an air up mattress from Target and that also wasn't very comfortable. So for our entire stay, I didn't get one good nights rest, which is what vacation is all about. I really thought about leaving less than 3 stars just because of this. However, I had to think hard and consider that I do have back issues. My wife doesn't have back issues, and she agreed with me that the sleeping situation was bad. For the amount we spent, we expected a better mattress to sleep on and for the amount of money this place likely makes in a year, it should be something replaced often. This would have changed the review from 3 stars to 5 stars. If you don't have back problems and there is only one or two people renting, then you may not have the same opinion about the sleeping arrangements The rest of the furniture was comfortable. It also rains almost every day. Something to think about if you are not from the area. Mother nature doing her thing.
But the positives far out-weight the bad. The best thing about this rental is Location, location, location. It was so close to everything, dining, shopping, and of course the BEACH. We walked to the private access beach and only took us about 5 minutes to get there and what was because we had to wait for the cross walk light to change. The water is beautiful. We went to Ft Walden one day and even though they are so close, the waters in Destin were far superior (the waters in Ft Walden had green floating algae which stuck to our hair.) The trip was worth the long drive we had. The unit is upstairs, but I have always preferred upstairs because of noise. The unit overlooked one of the pools on the property. We would rent definitely rent this unit again. We would just come prepared with air mattress. Fantastic sun rises, sunsets, water, we were really enjoyed the location.
