"Leeward key 501 09/23 - We loved the condo. An email was sent with check in instructions and check in was flawless. Everything was exactly like advertised. Beautifully decorated and had plenty of room for all 11 of us. I would definitely recommend this room to anyone looking to get away to the gulf. Easy access to the beach and we loved the shower/pool at the beach to wash off all the sand."

"This is a great location. It’s easy to get to beach and within walking distance to several restaurants. We also enjoyed how their were two pools."
Stayed July 2023
"We had a great time. The listing was as described in the photos and the balcony had plenty of room and good views of the water. Beach is easily accessed. Speedy elevators were a plus."

"Great location! - Great location directly across the street from the beach with direct beach access. Balcony had a beach view. Little bar & grill next door that had great food (and karaoke on some nights). Room wasn’t finished being cleaned when we arrived at check in time but that’s okay because we had a wonderful time."

"Nuestra estadía fue excelente, solo que hay parqueo para 2 carros y considero que en una casa de 12 personas deben disponer de más parqueos. En nuestro caso íbamos 3 carros y estábamos con la incertidumbre de donde estacionar el tercer carro. De resto nuestra estadía súper."

"We really enjoyed our stay here and the location was perfect. It was very convenient only being steps away from the private beach access. A few things that would have made our stay even better is being able to keep a golf cart at the property. We noticed a few other golf carts at the property the first few days, however we were told golf cart rentals were not allowed. This was a bummer because golf carts are very popular in the area and make it easy to travel to the local shops and restaurants. It would also have been nice to have a set of beach chairs and umbrella included with the rental since the prices to rent these at the beach were quite expensive, especially for the entire week. Overall, we had a great experience and would definitely stay here again and recommend it to others."

"Wonderful stay although pictures of the “bunk room” need to be updated. We got there to find out there was only one set of bunk beds, a full bed and a twin mattress on the floor shoved under the full size. Other than that the condo was great, love the location and it was beautiful."

"Great stay! - We had a fantastic time - nice and comfortable accommodations, convenient to beach, short drive to restaurants and offerings of Destin/Miramar and vicinity"
Stayed May 2022
"Absolutely love it! - The property was just like the listing. It was so beautiful upon arrival. It was clean for the most part. Only thing was the floors was gritty. Everything else was on point as far as cleanliness. Two thing I'll say is provide more tissue. It was only one roll per bathroom. Also provide laundry necessities I didn't see any. Great location to the beach and restaurants. I am coming back next year. Thank you for the stay."

"Spacious with a great view! - This is a beautiful condo with a great view! We’ve stayed at Leeward Key a few times but this was our first time in this particular unit. What you see in the pictures is exactly what you’ll get. Check in was a breeze. Communication was great. We received our email with the codes timely. There was an issue with the tub (apparently the jets weren’t working and it leaked downstairs)and we didn’t realize there was even an issue until they reached out to me. Someone came up right away and immediately knew what the issue was and simply hit the switch. Some reviews mentioned the cookware was outdated however I felt the cookware was perfectly fine. It wasn’t brand new however it wasn’t old and dirty to where we didn’t want to use it. The only other suggestion would be to have certain things available in the kitchen as a great host such as coffee pods and cabinet items such as sugar etc. and maybe Beach items. Such as beach towels, chairs, and a few beach toys for the kiddos. Sometimes when you’re traveling with a large families you don’t have room for those things. The host that we rent from regularly at Leeward has those things available so we just may be a little spoiled lol. However I understand that they may not be allowed to do that due to Covid. Overall this condo was great, our family had a blast and that’s what’s important. Would definitely recommend and we’d definitely rent from them again."

"Great condo, great location - Loved this property. Everything about the listing is accurate. Very spacious. We had 2 families, 9 total people and we had plenty of room. Great views from the balcony. Had all of the kitchen supplies needed for cooking, etc. The location is great, near several restaurants. Loved the beachside pool. Would definitely stay here again."

"Great location, views were good although not beach front. The sunsets were spectacular from unit. - Overall we enjoyed our stay. It was priced very reasonably. Location was great. The building is nice and the beach is super close. The pool was heated and warm most of the time. This was a huge plus for staying here. The chairs and loungers by the pool and on the beach were great.
Kitchen was nice and easy to cook in with all the needed supplies. Beds and linens were nice. Living room TV was big and new. Every room had a tv but we mostly used the living room tv.
As soon as we walked in we noticed stains on the sectional so we covered it with blankets to be more comfortable. They need to replace it with furniture that can be cleaned. It’s is a microfiber material. Very comfortable though.
The guest bathroom tub water runs and it’s difficult to shut off. The kitchen sink looked new but was not completely done. It’s was as if someone installed it but left everything loose. We had to call maintenance on New Year’s Eve because it was leaking. No one was able to come to look at it due to the holiday so we had to go without a sink for the New Year’s Eve until we finally notice all the knobs were just loose. We tighten everything and it was fine afterwards. One night during a storm we heard a loud noise that went on for several hours. We called them to check the next day and they responded immediately. However they couldn’t tell what it was. It didn’t happen again and they said they would check the exterior of the building to make sure it wasn’t something outside.
The management was very quick to respond when we had anything we needed help with. We stayed for about a month.
Overall, I recommend this unit. I recommend replacing sectional with easy to clean furniture and replacing carpet but this did not ruin our stay and we felt the price was good for the unit.
We would definitely stay here again and we think leeward key is very unique. We had so much privacy and it was a very safe and comfortable. There is a lot to do within walking distance. It was fun to walk to the rolled ice cream store & to the badass coffee shop. We loved just walking up from the beach to the restaurant next door. The parking was great. I highly recommend the units in this building.
Positives are location, beach access, private, quiet, clean, safe, heated pool and views. Negative is stains on carpet and sectional.
We would definitely stay here again.
We enjoyed the complimentary snacks, cokes and games that greeted us upon arrival."

"Beautiful view - Overall, I will give the condo a five star. I rented this for our family. It has 4 bedrooms with the best views in a room that has 2 double beds, the livingroom also steps out on the balcony. Nice TV with large sectional. Large king bed, 2 doubles, another double in another room, and bunk room that probably sleeps 6 more. Three nice bathrooms!!!We ate breakfast outside most mornings as 7 could sit outside comfortably. The bedrooms slept comfortable. We loved the ease to the beach. The water is absolutely beautiful. Great trip!!!! Good condo!!!"

"will do again - Plenty of space for all 11 of us 4 of which were very small children. Very nice condo, easy access to the beach. Both pools were always clean. It isn't facing the ocean but you have a side view from the living room just like in the photo. I think my only complaint is the ice maker not big enough for as many people were there but of course that's easily fixable by buying a bag. I would stay here again. I was not disappointed at all. 5 stars from me.
Kenny D's restaurant is right beside it and the food is great."

"Great spot! - We rented the condo for a bachelorette party and it was perfect! Tons of space for a group of 12 girls, everybody was really pleased! We were close to the beach, loved the pools... couldn't ask for better! For the size of the condo, we did run low on toilet paper but otherwise zero complaints. We'd absolutely go back again!"
Stayed March 2015
"Perfect family vacation! - My husband and I brought our family of 5 kids and 5 of their friends for a Spring Break getaway to Destin. We've been many times before, but this was our first stay at Leeward Key. We were extremely impressed with the condo! The layout is great - perfect for our 6 teenage boys and 4 teenage girls! Everyone had a bed and the bathrooms were ample size for all to have room. Plenty of hot water and tons of extra bath towels, pillows, and blankets. The décor in the condo is beautiful - no detail is overlooked. The kitchen is a great size for big groups and the appliances are top notch! The view is not directly of the water, but you definitely can enjoy the ocean from the large balcony. Our kids loved the easy access codes for the condo and the beach/pool so no one had to keep up with a key. Everything is well thought out and made our stay effortless!
The building is in a fabulous area - tons of sidewalks to go exploring in walking distance from restaurants (one being right next door!). We were a bit concerned that the building was across the street from the pool/beach area, but it was never a factor once we saw it in person. It's a short walk and a small, slow street. No problems! The beach area is pristine - lots of room to set up a volleyball net and play all day! The kids loved the heated pool by the beach because the ocean is still pretty cold in March. No hot tub on property, but the beachside pool was nice and warm! The Building is minutes away from Destin Commons as well as the Outlet Mall - we enjoyed both! It's also a 10 minute drive from Destin Harbor so fishing charters, etc. are a quick trip down 98. We had two days of deep sea fishing with Locked Up Charters and caught our limit!
Customer service with this unit is awesome - we booked the entire trip online and had absolutely no problems. The RealJoy app made it super easy to get all of the information I needed. We needed a new access code to the beach and all I had to do was make a request through the app and it came back ASAP. Welcome instructions, departure instructions, frequently asked questions, requests, etc. happen instantly, 24/7. What a gift! No checking in at a desk or waiting for someone to meet you with keys. Effortless!
This vacation was priceless to us - the memories will last a lifetime. Thanks for an incredible stay - we will definitely come again!"
