Lakefront condo with WiFi, water&beach views, pool
Guest rating: 1.8 / 5
Overview
This lakefront condo sits within the Destiny Beach Villas community in Destin, offering a cozy coastal retreat with both lake and beach views. Two balconies let guests take in vistas from the front and back of the unit, and the property is a short walk across the street from the white sandy beaches of the Emerald Coast. Note that the unit is accessed by a staircase, so mobility should be considered when booking.
Kitchen & Living Space
The condo features a fully equipped kitchen with a dishwasher, oven/stove, and microwave, making it easy to prepare meals for the whole group instead of eating out every night. Living spaces include air conditioning, cable TV, ironing board, and washer access, along with a smoke-free interior throughout.
Amenities & Recreation
Guests can use the shared outdoor pool right at the condo community, along with free Wi-Fi, free parking, and direct beach access just across the street. The two balconies and patio provide additional outdoor space to relax and enjoy the water and beach scenery.
Dining & Location
Beyond the condo, guests will find several dining options just across the street, including The Crab Trap and other local eateries. Silver Sands Outlet Mall is a short drive away for shopping, and the beach itself is close enough to walk to with chairs, towels, or beach canopies.
Best for
This condo suits beach-focused vacationers and families who want a self-catering stay close to the sand, thanks to its fully equipped kitchen, in-unit laundry, and beach access just across the street. It also works well for small groups or families with teens who appreciate extra bathroom space and comfortable common areas, plus the shared outdoor pool for days when the beach isn't calling.
Travel tips
Pack light beach gear like your own chairs, towels, and canopies since the beach across the street is public and doesn't include amenities like public restrooms nearby. Keep in mind the unit is accessed via a staircase, so plan accordingly if traveling with heavy luggage or mobility concerns. A car is useful for reaching Silver Sands Outlet Mall and exploring beyond the immediate walkable dining options.
What guests say
Guests consistently praise the water and beach views from both balconies, calling the condo a relaxing place to unwind morning and evening. Comfortable beds and seating areas, along with cleanliness and easy check-in/check-out communication, were also frequently mentioned as strengths. The very short walk to the beach was highlighted as a major convenience. On the downside, some guests noted the sofa bed mattress was thin, the dryer took multiple cycles to fully dry towels, and at least one mentioned a stained pillow in the reading nook needing attention.
