A Relaxing Stay
5/5 stars
It was a relaxing stay; upon entry, the view of the water from the bedroom and living room was serene. Nice, clean and quiet. Perfectly situated with multiple eateries within a 3-5mile radius. The short walk to the private beach... The beach was the icing on the cake. Water so clean, sand so white and smoothly fine. I definitely will plan a trip back because there is so much to explore within a short radius which I didn't get to.

Beautiful Property + Pristine Beach
5/5 stars
I really enjoyed my stay in Destin, FL in large part due to where I stayed and I am so happy I chose this place. The private beach, the amenities (free beach chair, umbrella etc), the clean, welcoming property and the prompt responses to questions... Everything about this stay was perfect. I still reminisce about sitting on that porch swing. I can't wait to be back. Thank you to the hosts.

Really Great!
5/5 stars
Condo was fantastic, fully stocked kitchen, and towels, linens, and was decorated very nicely. The deck views were amazing and for area, very private and quiet. Beach walk was short and enjoyable, crossing the bridge and seeing all turtles daily like they were greeting us was refreshing. Check-In was quick, easy and early, as we were texted for early Check-In, host was very quick with responses and pleasant. Absolutely No Complaints….
- Anthony
Great Stay in Destin!
5/5 stars
We were in Destin for a baseball tournament for our oldest son. The property was in a great location and proximity to the beach compared to a lot of properties that are pet friendly. It was clean, and everything worked properly. We enjoyed seeing the turtles and ducks, and the beach was absolutely beautiful. The beach chair service was great, too. The kids enjoyed playing with the beach toys, and the cooler provided was clutch. Check-in was easy, and the hosts were in touch just to check on everything once we were settled, which we appreciated.

Wonderful Stay
4/5 stars
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Southbay ~ Turtle Watch. The unit was clean and comfortable with an easy 5 minute walk to the beach. We enjoyed the free beach service on the private beach and everything else you needed was provided in the townhome; from the beach wagon to toys and extra chairs for the beach. We fished off the bridge in the lake and caught huge bluegills and enjoyed watching the turtles swim around. We brought up a couple of cosmetic items to the rental company just as an FYI and they were right there to correct the issues (an example is the porch umbrella had a tear and they came to replace it). They were easy to work with and super helpful. I am one who prefers to stay right on the beach but I would definitely return to this location!
- Melanie
Great stay
5/5 stars
We had a great time staying in unit #50. The condo was just as described and very clean. It was on the bay which was great to go out and see the turtles. It was a 3min walk to the beach and walking distance to shops and places to eat. Great location. We will be booking this unit again!

South Bay Destin
5/5 stars
The townhouse was very nice and in a great location. The pictures featured are exact and the place clean plus well equipped. The customer service was extraordinary. A simple phone resulted in the operations manager at the place within minutes. Staff was always helpful and friendly. When our unit was available early we were notified. Exceptional service.

Honeymoon vaca!
5/5 stars
My husband and I came here for our honeymoon & we absolutely LOVED the condo! It was absolutely adorable & in really great condition ( and very clean ) The beach access was literally no more than a 5 minute walk, it was super convenient & the walk was very scenic! The condo is also minutes away from from all kinds of restaurants, shopping plazas, & the boardwalk, which was really nice :) We loved our vacation to Destin! The beaches are beautiful, crystal clear water & white sand! Definitely want to go back!

Something For Everyone
5/5 stars
We were very happy with our stay. So much to do at this townhouse. Fishing, pool, and beach. There is something for everyone in your family. The boys loved fishing in the lake and on the beach. The girls loved the big pools and clear water at the beach. This is a must stay location. The townhouse was clean and updated. The decks were fabulous and we watched many sunsets. We cannot wait to stay again.

South Bay by the Gulf
5/5 stars
This is Connie. Myself and three sisters took a trip to Destin, Florida. My sister booked this townhome. We all loved it. It was very peaceful and clean. It fit our needs perfectly and my Sophie (small dog) loved it as well. It was true to the pictures and all that was told to us. Will definitely book again as soon as we can. Thank you!

South Bay 50
5/5 stars
Nice place, clean, good location, and hassle free. The complementary beach chairs and umbrella were a great benefit. I have no complaints of this rental. If I were to express a wish list it would be a parking area, closer access, or shuttle to the beach. The walk was substantial while carrying the family’s beach accessories. I also would like to have a covered porch roof to sit under. Especially when it’s raining to be able to sit outside and keep belongings dry. However this did not discourage our stay and did not disappoint. We had a great vacation with our expectations met.
- Chris

Beautiful Lake view cottage
5/5 stars
Thank you for letting us stay at this great cottage. It was so peaceful and quiet to sit by the lake each morning. It is so close to everything you need but no parking issues or crowds to deal with. Kitchen is adorable and loved the full size washer and dryer. Master bed was very comfortable and also enjoyed the private porch off of our room. Check in was super easy and Amber at Itrip was so helpful. We will definitely stay there again.
- Sarah

Thank you for your 5 star review. This is such a quaint unit but close to everything including the beach and pool! Please come back and stay with us again next year.
