Loved this place. Very pretty and well kept grounds and the condos are so nice. Also, it's one of the only resort areas along that stretch of road with its own redlight and that's a huuuuge perk. If you've been to Destin before you know what I mean.

It's close enough to everything to get there fast, and the market/shops that are adjacent are really neat.

My only issue at all with the place is the actual Beach. It's very VERY overcrowded. The beach area is nice enough but not nearly enough space for the amount of people. We got there early (for my family, on vacation) at 9:30am to catch some sun and sand and we were already too late by about a bajillion people.

The people and chairs were already stacked 5 deep at that point. Even with a rented set of chairs with the umbrella, you're probably still going to have a great view of 2-3 other families stacked up in front of you instead of the water.

I know the crowding is really a problem with Destin more than this resort but it's something to consider.

The pool though was incredible.

I only say 3 stars because of the Beach itself. For the rest of the resort, it's an easy 5 stars. If the actual beach part of your beach trip isn't that important than you'd love it. Otherwise, I'd say try a resort in Ft Walton about 15 minutes down the road. Less crowded and (in my experience) a little cheaper vacation to be had.
