Amazing ocean views!!
Words can't express, nor photos, of the amazing views from this one of a kind condo! Owner response was always nearly immediate, prompt at very least, and check in was easy as 123. Like no exaggeration, it's a must stay! statements

Beautiful view, across street from beach, relaxing family vacation!
The property has a fabulous Gulf view from directly across the street from the beach. Condo is nestled in beautiful surroundings of luxury homes and condos. It provides 4 chairs and an umbrella with straps and handles for easy carrying that all packs up easily. It's a very easy walk straight across the street, through the gate and down to the beach. The condo had everything we needed and then some including a stackable washer and dryer upstairs. The location is very nice and easily accessible by car to the mall, restaurants and stores. The property allowed our family dog so he got to come along. Our host was very responsive and helpful. Sand Pebbles 3 is a gem!

Sand pebbles 3
The house was nice but could use a little tlc. Light over sink didn’t work. Upstairs flooring was uneven and had a damaged spot entering the bathroom. Top of refrigerator was dirty. Large umbrella on upper deck was broken. But, I understand that rental properties always have small issues. Our biggest issue was with the late night noise. Golf carts constantly blowing horns,Harleys leaving the bar a block down the road.and booming car stereos are a constant annoyance. I don’t have a problem with any of these during the day, but at 2am,that is a problem when your bedroom is 100feet from the road. This is nothing that the property owner can fix. However, local police need to crack down on this noise after hours. In conclusion, it’s over all a very nice property and would be perfect with a few updates. If you are a night owl and enjoy a street party 100ft from your bedroom, then you will have a great time.

Perfect getaway, a short walk to private beach and food
Very nice location, short walk to the beach. Stan provided a basket of snacks the kids enjoyed & backpack chairs, umbrella and children’s beach toys. Coffee pot didn’t work but there was a kettle for back up. The breaker flipped after we turned on the lights,without us plugging anything in. we had a hard time getting that back online since it was hidden behind a giant mirror we were afraid to break and technically since my neck surgery I’m not supposed to lift more than 20lbs. The plugs and disposal in the kitchen never worked for us. Might just be a breaker /electrical issue needing updating. Said basic kitchen spices only had corn starch, cooking sprays and curry powder. Had an empty salt shaker-I bought more salt and filled the shaker for the next guests.Overall the space was clean had plenty of toiletries and the beds were amazing! Best sleep I’ve had in months! Would definetly come again and again an and again! Thanks for having us!

PERFECT, especially if flying
Great location, right on the beach! Property was very clean and well kept. It was especially nice that the owner provides beach towels, chairs, umbrella, etc so if you are flying in, you do not have to worry about any of those things. Plenty of other extras in this condo made our stay so convenient such as trash bags and detergent, we didn't have to go out and buy all of those things. The basket of goodies on the counter was especially nice!! We would definitely return to this condo!! Excellent host!

Very Relaxing Visit -Beachfront
Very relaxing visit to Destin. Stan was very responsive and unit was very clean and well equipped. Great location across from the beach (definitely enjoyed my daily walks and time on the beach). This was a working trip for me (my husband and dog got to really relax) . Best part was being to bring our dog along with us on our stay! Stan had beach chairs/cooler/etc. to make it very easy to enjoy this beachfront townhome.
