It was great, unfortunately the indoor pickleball court wasn’t as described or depicted in the photos. That was one of the only real reasons we booked this location as pickleball aficionados. But outside of that, the location and apartment was wonderful!

Wonderful stay
we enjoyed our stay! Condo was clean and well taken care of. Pool and dining area were beautiful. We visited in March so not super hot, the pool was pretty cold, but my kids still enjoyed it. Great food and service. We got there a bit early and couldn’t do an early check in. Which after a long drive was frustrating and there was some confusion with door code/playground gate code. BUT that was resolved and we had no issues with our stay or accommodations. The area was great, located walking distance to restaurants and beaches. You do have to cross a busy road if you decide to walk. The shuttle driver was very convenient after our day out we didn’t want to walk back again. He was very friendly as well. All in all we definitely enjoyed.

Loved staying here. Just wish the parking garage was closer to the building. But that is not the property owners fault. This was our first time in Destin and if you want to walk to the beach you need to stay closer than this place.

Great experience
Everything was as described. Super clean, great view. Loved the pool and the on-site restaurant was decent and has a kid-friendly fenced-in yard with games. Lots of stuff for kids to do. The pack-n-play was very nice to have. There is a blow dryer, though it wasn't mentioned in description. My only gripe is that there were a few amenities missing that I would expect to have: coffee filters, oil for cooking, salt and pepper. Would definitely go back.

Spent the weekend here with a few friends & loved every moment, there’s lots to do at the Palms. The suite we stayed in were nice & clean, decor felt inviting, the pool/ocean view from the balcony gave us beautiful sunsets.
