First time in Destin!

This was our first time in Destin and it was beautiful! Beaches were great the condo was close by to a lot of great restaurants, shops, a bike path and the beach itself. We enjoyed our time here and our family stayed in separate condos close by so it was great walking distance to meet up with them for beach time. Thanks for being great hosts and opening up your home to us!

Destin 2023

This condo is on the second floor which gives you a great view of the Gulf and setting sun in the afternoon. Across the road is public beach with restrooms and a lifeguard. Also, Pompano Joes is about a block from the condo. There are also restaurants close by some within walking distance. There is a pool, hot tub and parking. All in all we had a great time.

This is a nice property located conveniently across the street from beautiful Mirimar Beach. The 2nd floor balcony offered great views of the beach. The property owner Mike was very helpful and great to work with. I'd recommend staying here.

Perfect weekend getaway!

PRIME location, beach access across the street, comfortable fit for my family if 4. Front door to unlock is tricky, we were successful on getting inside but not really sure how we did it. Recommend bringing a griddle or additional pans to cook with, if cooking for more than 2 people. Not a complaint just a suggestion.

Fabulous condo!

We loved our stay! The location could not have been better as far as the view and proximity to the beach (right across the street)! The property was clean and the communication and flexibility with the owners was wonderful. We were able to check in a little early which was awesome and we would certainly stay here again. :)

Great stay, great views!

We had a great time at Summerspell 202 and really loved the Scenic 98 area. The condo was clean and had everything we needed. We were also happy to find most beach essentials were there for our use as well. The only problem we had is that the week went too fast.

Best Location with Everything you need!

Summerspell was a wonderful place to stay! None of us wanted to leave because we felt at home our whole stay! There is plenty of space with all the kitchen and beach necessities available. The best part is the view and VERY short walk to the beach. The pool was heated and so much fun for the whole family! If you are planning a trip to Destin this is the place to stay! We will definitely be returning the next time we visit! Mike and Ruthie are fantastic to work with and responded quickly to all ?s.

The property was clean and we'll maintained. We were overly impressed with the little amenities we didn't realize we would need. Friends staying in same complex didn't have things like a dust pan to pick up all the sand. Or a toaster! The view was gorgeous. Mike was amazing to communicate with. He answered all our questions and made the entire experience seamless!

Mike was awesome to work with couldn’t ask for better customer service. The location was awesome you are literally right across the street from the beach in this second-floor unit. My only recommendation is that the cleaning service needs to do a better job.

Summerspell never disappoints!

We had a wonderful family vacation at Summerspell 202. The condo was clean and well stocked. Everything worked the way it should. This was the perfect space for 3 adults and 2 kids. The view was great and the condo is in a perfect location! The condo is well stocked with not only items you need to live for the week but with all the things you need for the beach as well including chairs and an umbrella. No need to pack beach or pool toys because 202 has those too! Highly recommend!

Amazing View!

We had a fantastic week in this beautiful condo! The complex is small and well kept with easy parking at the door. We loved the location along scenic 98 - convenient to everything and the walking paths were excellent. The pool area was nice with plenty of furniture. The condo was very clean and we appreciated all of the hooks to hang clothes. The bed was comfortable, the kitchen was well stocked, and there were beach chairs, umbrella, etc available for use. The owners were very responsive to our questions and easy to work with. The best part - the amazing view of the crystal clear water from the balcony! Thanks for sharing your home; we can't wait to return!
