“Wonderful Stay!” We absolutely enjoyed our time here. Everything was what we expected. Plenty of room for everyone to move about and do their own thing! Will be booking again!!

“Perfect location in a great condo!” My family thoroughly enjoyed our stay! The condo was spacious allowing us to spread out! The owner provide the kids with lots of fun things to use at the beach & the two kitchens was a huge plus. The iwner's communication was very good & promot! We'll probably return!

“Great experience!” We spent 5 nights at Paraiso to attend a family wedding in Destin. The house comfortably accommodated seven of us during our stay. The home is tastefully furnished and was very clean upon our arrival. There are a few areas that could use a little bit of touch-up paint and the carpet shows some wear in places, but that's to be expected for a vacation rental that likely sees a lot of use. The home is spacious, especially the bedrooms, which all contained dressers and/or roomy closets for storing clothes and luggage. The kitchen is equipped with all of the main items you would need for doing some stay-in cooking (pots, pans, various utensils, cooking oil) and there is a propane grill available on the front patio as well. Paraiso is in an attractive gated community and, even though the homes are closely packed together, we experienced no issues with outside noise. It is a short three-block walk to the beautiful beaches and the community pool is a fun place to spend some time with its rock island waterfall in the middle of it. The home's location is also convenient to Publix, Whole Foods, Destin Commons, and several restaurants. Finally, I want to comment on the home's owners. I found them to be very accessible during the booking process and were very responsive when we had a minor problem getting the thermostat adjusted upon our arrival. On most occasions when I called, they answered on first attempt, and on the few occasions where that did not happen, they returned my call within less than an hour! We would definitely stay here again should we return to the area.

“It felt like we never left home.” We were down for 7 days for a baseball tournament and needed a large but affordable place for my family of 5. This house was perfect!! It's located near a big grocery store and many great local places to eat, as well as some bigger familiar food chains. The house is super clean and spacious and has enough smell good products going on, that every time we walked in, a scent of freshness would welcome us. Thanks for having us!

“Couldn't have asked for a more perfect rental!” To say that we were skeptical about renting a condo in Florida from the owner as opposed to through expedia or some other travel site would be an understatement. A million "what if" statements were brought up, but renting the Beachside One condo from Gary was, without a doubt, the most pleasant renting experience we've ever had. Gary was unceasingly open and accommodating throughout the entire process. He was willing to work around our schedules and accommodate our needs with no hesitation. Within minutes of arriving to the condo we realized that any skepticism or doubt about renting by owner was completely unnecessary. The condo was perfect! I thought that it looked nice based on the pictures from the website, but they don't do the rental justice. Almost everything we needed on our trip, short of clothing, was provided. Just to name a few of the wonderful aspects of the condo, there are flat screen Tv's in every room, WiFi internet access, a spacious kitchen, and a wonderful back deck. I would suggest the condo to both family and friends, and to anyone who want to be sure that their vacation is nothing but relaxing. Beachside One is located in a great location on the beach. We were in walking distance to numerous shops and restaurants that appealed to both a younger or older guest. In addition, to restaurants and shops within walking distance, there are countless within a few minutes drive. The area can provide you with the feeling of being secluded on a beach getaway, or in the middle of the fun and excitement, all depending on what you want to do. We can't express how grateful we are to have come across Gary's rental. It was, by far, the most comfortable, relaxing trip we've ever had.

“FUN! FUN! TONS OF SPACE” This house was at a great location and so much space, we could've invited our whole family! Loved that there was 2 master bedrooms.....and enough bathrooms. Back yard scenery was a little bit of a bummer, but everything else was good.

“Vacation” Excellent, we enjoyed the condo, it was clean, the property was clean. The owners did a nice job of keeping you informed of any issues.

“Great Getaway” Sterling Shores is an excellent property with great amenities and an excellent staff. Our condo was clean and up-to-date including flat screen Tv's in each bedroom. Great balcony where you can sit out at night and see the Gulf and hear the waves. Nice linens and a very functional kitchen as well. It also had beach chairs with it that we could use. The beach is just a 2 minute walk across the street and the famous Back Porch is right there with great food and service. The beach offers umbrella and beach chair service as well. The property is centrally located in Destin and has close access to all the sights and activities that Destin has to offer. Highly recommend!

“Great View and Open Space” Loved staying at this property. The rooms were spacious and perfect for the casual bachelorette party that I wanted. Great view of the ocean right across the street. It is farther from all the hustle and bustle of downtown Destin. If that is what you are looking for than it was perfect. Darlene was so helpful and welcoming.
