"Exceptional - It was clean. I loved the decor. It wasn't to beachy( those god awful orange, yellow, and green colors). The decor and seating was what caught my eye first. Loved the views from the balconies! They were awesome. We had a great time celebrating my daughter turning 16!
The bed was a little too firm for me, but that's a personal preference problem really."

Each bedroom has it's own bathroom, which was nice with our adult family group. The glider recliners in the living room were awesome. Great place to relax. Plenty of easy parking. Easy check in (keypad door entry). Very clear instructions including parking, Keycode, WIFI password, gym code were all conveniently provided the day of check in. Everything was exactly as described. Highly recommend!"

"This was my first time in Destin and renting a condo. The stay was amazing. The view was gorgeous. The condo was very clean. We had everything we needed. The communication was great. The ice maker wasn't working when we checked in so called them and spoke to Lisa. She was super nice and sent someone over in the morning. We had one good day at the beach and then the Red Tide came in so we spent a lot of time at pools which were very clean and well kept. So much to do in that area, didn't get to do which mean we'll be back and for sure will be staying at Ariel Dunes again. Thanks so much for making our first trip to Destin amazing!!!"
