Has potential but I would not recommend
The location is amazing, but overall our stay wasnt great unfortunately. The condo was dirty upon arrival and looked like it had not been cleaned. I contacted the Vasca property manager number multiple times our first day, they did nothing about our concerns for over 3 days. Additionally, at the same time I was being contacted multiple times while on the beach because apparently they were going to replace our fridge in the middle of our stay for unknown reasons. When I asked what we should do with our fridge full of cold and frozen food, they suggested we put it in the new fridge that was warm. The property has great potential, but the management is extremely poor and it is clear nobody takes pride in it. I did ask to speak with the owner of the property & that request was declined. I would not recommend staying here. Spend your money elsewhere that isnt being managed by vasca. ** After our trip we were refunded the cleaning fee we paid of $160 when I sent Vasca photos of the condition the condo was in.

Good for any and all.
Great place to stay. Great view. Easy access to beach. Would highly recommend. Good for any and all ages. Only dislike was filling out some online form & paying for parking passes (not a huge issue). Just would think that would already be included in your condo price.

Beach Stay
Overall impression was the property seemed clean and fairly well taken care of. It was considerably older than I would have thought it was by looking at the pictures. Also the check in and everything was somewhat confusing with having to deal with 4 different companies. I would have thought there were more amenities by the listing and the other reviews.

Great for families with teenagers!
This was perfect for our family! Our teenaged kids were able to go to the souvenir shops, play mini golf, ride go karts, and eat where they wanted which meant we could relax and do what we wanted without driving all over Destin. We had direct beach access and a great view. The only suggestions is adding black out curtains to the master bedroom and a Keurig (thankfully I brought mine). Overall I would stay here again!

Beautiful place!
Super nice condo! Beautiful view, staff was so nice. Only thing I wish I knew before was that no personal umbrellas are allowed, and if you bring your own chairs there’s a specific spot you have to be in. We ended up renting chairs and an umbrella because I can’t be on the beach without some shade at some point!! Haha.

Overview of property
The condo itself was very nice but there was an issue with the master bedroom shower. It hardly had any water pressure. The washer and dryer were also making funny noises. They need some maintenance. Other recommendations would be to have salt and pepper in the condo as well as more than just one dishwasher pod and two garbage bags. The last comment was that the daytime security person at the pool was somewhat "overbearing" and tended to make guests a bit uncomfortable. The nighttime security folks were much more personable. But over-all the stay was fabulous. I would definitely recommend the property and would come back again.

The view you have been seeking!
Beautiful view from sunrise to sunset! The balcony is the perfect place for relaxing with the clear glass railing and the comfy glider. Fantastic unobstructed view of the beach from the large balcony with doors from the living area and master bedroom. The two swivel leather chairs in living area are great! All the furniture is very nice and updated. Kitchen hasn’t been updated, but not an issue for us as we ate out for most meals. The landscaping is beautiful and very well maintained. Needed extra bedding and front desk was quick to accommodate all of our requests. Wonderful and relaxing week after Thanksgiving.

Beautiful Condo and Beach
We absolutely loved staying in 805. It was such a beautiful and clean condo. We loved the decorations and beach touches. We all slept comfortably, the sleeper sofa was perfect for the 4 year old. The views from the balcony were amazing, we saw dolphins running along the shoreline chasing fish. The location was nice and we were able to get to different places easily. I would highly recommend this condo to anyone, and will probably stay here again (especially in 805....it was sooo cute!).
