Words can’t adequately describe how great this place is. For starters you get the million dollar view from the 15th floor of the whitest sand beaches and emerald green waters I’ve ever seen. The Unit itself is extremely clean and beyond luxurious. From the floor to ceiling windows everywhere, to the fully decked out master suite (with Jacuzzi tub overlooking the beach, steam shower and sauna) to the gourmet kitchen, and spacious open concept design; the Unit exceeded even our highest expectations. The spacious Unit was ideal for our family vacation with our 4 and 6 year old as the ample space made even our inside time stress free and enjoyable.
In addition to the Unit, the resort facility had great common amenities. My 6 year old son was excited to see the large community pool with a 9’ deep end in which we spent countless hours. The resort facility also had a good size gym overlooking the beach and nice tennis courts on the north end to accommodate some active time.
Last, but not least, is the huge white sand beach just steps away. We’ve been on numerous Caribbean vacations with great beaches but nothing compares to the sand in Destin. Walking in that sand was like walking on powder. We could not get enough of it. In fact, I would wake up at sunrise every morning to walk 6 miles on the beach before my kids would wake up just to soak it all in. The beaches are so large, we never felt crowed even on a holiday weekend. The emerald green water was great as well. My kids loved boogie boarding and mining for shells in the water (even finding a hermit crab in a small conch shell).
From a practical perspective, the Unit is ideally located in Destin, being in close proximity to groceries, beach stores, Target and restaurants, with many being walkable. Also, on a day we needed a break from the beach, the kids loved going to the Go-Cart tracks and mini-golf courses down the block.
All in all, it was the perfect family vacation. We are already planning our return trip next year.
