"This was our first stay in Destin. We were very happy with how clean the unit was. It was a very good place for a couple to stay. The view of the gulf was the best part. We started and ended every day on the balcony."
Stayed October 2023
"Would definitely stay again, perfect little get away spot . - Location is perfect, condo is darling , gorgeous view . All the staff was great very personable.
Bed is a little hard . Floor is very “gritty” Might be a electrical issue in the bedroom, when I adjusted the ceiling fan the TV would turn off. ( Minor issues )"

"Great hotel stay - The room was very clean. The view of the ocean was beautiful. Great location. The only thing that could have been better was the internet connection.
We would definitely stay there again."
Stayed August 2023
"Great stay - It was better than the pictures listed online. It had some modern updates that were really nice. The views from the balcony were amazing! The chair service that was purchasable on the beach was a great bonus. We enjoyed the restaurant in the lobby and the shop which had anything we may have needed while on the beach. It was a little warm in the room considering the air conditioning unit is on the balcony and makes it hard to hear the ocean from the balcony when it’s running."

"1703 - We had a wonderful stay. The only hic cup was we locked ourselves out in the balcony within 30 minutes of arriving. Luckily, I had a phone in my hand and was able to call front desk for help. Security came VERY shortly. He told us this happened often. Perhaps since it does then at the very least put a warning on the door reminding to close door carefully."
Stayed June 2023
"Relaxation station - Great stay, Great views, Great beaches and plenty to do! What more do you need! There is plenty of room for a blowup mattress in the living room if bringing 2 teenagers. Two minor things, captain chairs on the balcony need to be replaced (which I'm sure they would've done if I called) and internet is hit and miss (which was fine by us)."

"SunDestin 1703 - 5 stars
This was our first time here and we loved it. Our 1 bdrm condo was perfect for us because it was just hubs and I. The furniture wasn’t the same as the picture which included a recliner, but there was a small hideabed couch. It worked, we didn’t spend much time in the condo anyway.
The view is magnificent which is the primary reason I picked the SunDestin. The room faces just west of due south, but not by much. We could not see the sunrise directly or the sunset directly, guessing because of the strip of condos. Anyway it’s beautiful. Would highly recommend.
There’s 1 1/2 baths which was cool and a walk-in linen closet off the half bath. Perfect for two people. I couldn’t get the iron to work in the half bath, but it worked in the bedroom.
The internet/wi-fi in the room was spotty. The wi-fi/internet reception on the beach was terrible. Had to listen to music on my iTunes app on my phone rather than stream, and even Verizon data didn’t pick up. That was frustrating.
We never could get the tv in the bedroom to work and the toaster needs a better one. Minor things to say the least. Overall, it was a spectacular trip and we loved the condo. It was perfect for just the two of us. We will be back."

"😍😍 - Had a wonderful time with some of the most beautiful beaches! The condo was clean & well stocked for what we needed it for. There was a pigeon that lived on our balcony-but we named it & it never gave us any trouble! Truly an amazing time & I would definitely go back!"

"Best view in Destin!!! - For our first time in Destin, sundestin resort is the way to go! It was amazing. Everyone was so nice and accommodating and the balcony view is stunning. The room could have been cleaner, a bit dated, but overall we didn’t care. It’s right on the beach and plenty to do on resort as well as close to EVERYTHING, and the resort will help you set activities up bc all that was a little overwhelming since we’ve never been in Destin. As for the room, it was perfect for my family of 3. I would have liked a sample bottle of shampoo/conditioner like most rooms do, bc I forgot mine of course! And the pull out bed and couch was a little old and not comfy as well as the king bed was not the best. But for the price, and that view.... still worth it. And realJoy stayed in contact with us the entire time. I was confused about the DVD rental and emailed them late and still got a quick response. Will definitely use RealJoy again. Thanks a lot for making Destin my new favorite vacation spot!!!!"

"Spacious apartment with all amenities you need. Only issue is WiFi which needs sorting. - Being in the 17th floor has many benefits. Sunrise and sunset are truly beautiful (being at either end of the beach). The balcony is lovely for breakfast and dinner drinks, and the living room is spacious. Being higher means you are away from the noise a little aswell (spring break in this case!) Bedroom is a little old fashioned, but the bed is huge and comfy. Bathrooms are ideal with jacuzzi bath a nice addition. Very little to fault - my two boys want to come back to the same apartment, which is good enough for me! Overall an absolutely wonderful vacation. Destin is a great family place."

"Beautiful! - This was our first time in Destin, FL. Condo was very clean and in great shape. It's on the 17th floor, so the view was amazing. The only problem we had was that the resort wouldn't let us bring our own umbrella. They make you rent their umbrella and chairs for $35 per day. We thought that was insane, so we drove down to the Henderson State Park where it was $6 per day and not as crowded. We loved our stay and have already booked another trip for September!"
