Destin is located on Florida’s Emerald Coast, which gets its name from its beautiful, clear green water. Beaches here have extremely fine, soft sand, so if you’re a beach-walker or your kids enjoy building sand castles, this could be a great destination for you.

We stayed in Aerial Dunes 2 room 607. Room was ok . Needs some painting and updating for sure! Great location, walk across to the beach. Whales tails is just over bridge. Restaurant at resort has good food but understaffed like every other place in Florida. Would definitely stay here again.

Family of four (mom & dad; 10 yo boy; 14 yo girl) went to Destin for Spring Break. First time in Destin or anywhere on the Florida panhandle. This is an AirBnb/Vrbo condo place. General review we were pleased with the location, safety, and cleanliness. The pool & hot tub area were nice, heated, and good alternative to the beach. Beach service was also good -- unfortunately when we stayed the red flags were almost always up because of the high winds and rip tides. Still the view couldn't be beat and you could still get your feet wet. We liked the set up beach service of chair and umbrella to and love the luxury of not having to worry about setting up your own chairs & hauling stuff. Your position on the beach just varies by the day you rented your unit. The first day we were in the 2nd row of chairs, by the third day we were in the front row. No complaints the view was good either way. Pros: Location and view of the gulf from our unit - A+; also nearby good restaurants (go to the Back Porch!) and stores if you forgot or needed something; quiet and peaceful -- never heard neighbors on either side or above and below -- good soundproofing. Cons: One of the elevators was out the first two days we were there. It was fixed before we left, so they addressed it, but one working elevator with that many units is a nightmare. We definitely got in some extra fitbit steps on the stairs -- not an option for everyone. Biggest con was our unit #513, the king size bed of the master suite is a mushy lump. My back is still sore from it. It NEEDS TO BE REPLACED stat! If vacation is about resting and relaxing it's hard to do that when you dread going to bed, because the bed so uncomfortable. Tips: Kinda related to cons but just in general the kitchen could be stocked better. Hand soap should be provided in kitchen & everywhere. They provided ONE automatic dishwasher tablet. So after the first night we were doing our dishes by hand - not cool on vacation. Would it kill them to provide a few more? So my advice and this goes for all non-hotel rentals, be prepared to bring your own soap, detergent, extra tp, and extra paper towels. I did bring my own k-cups -- and you will need to, none are provided. Final tip - they use a coded number system for everything: room entry, gym, pool, and beach access, etc. If you're like me with a million passwords in your head trying to remember more, is just not gonna happen. Take a picture of the passwords and keep it on your phone. Do that the first day! Overall good though, and we would stay at this property again.

My family of three stayed on the third floor of these condos. It is a great condo, clean place. They have a community place to grill. 2 pools that are great. A nice balcony with a side view to the ocean. We get access to a private beach. Which makes it not as crowded on the beach. Condo is small but clean. Beds are comfy. There is a place to wash laundry.

This is one of the most neglected condos I have ever stayed at. I do know they spray for bugs because there were 3 dead roaches to greet us . They have no maintenance (which should be obvious) so we had to pick up the roaches and clean the unit ourselves. Couldn't use the pool it was green. The beach is beautiful however it is a 10 minute walk from the 500 building we were in, the gate code however did not work. Destin has a lot of condos to choose from this would not be one of them.
