Kids 1 and 3 needs 2 BDRM condo in Destin

We are traveling to Destin in June with kids and inlaws. I am very overwhelmed by all of the condos on the internet.

I would love some advice on some nice resorts/condos that are clean and would be a good choice for a family with small kids. I definately want to be on the beach.

Thanks in advance

There are lots of places to stay in Destin and it can be overwhelming. We bought a place down there a fews back to be close to family when we visited without having to be too close! I like the places along Scenic Gulf Dr best. Further down the beach gets way too crowded and everything from restaurants to shopping is pretty much on the Eastern end of Destin. The Baytowne Wharf on the San Destin resort has tons for families to do. Fireworks every Thursday night too. Anything at the Sandestin Resort will be good but pricey and possibly already booked. We love our place at Majestic Sun which is on the Seascape resort and has a great pool, tennis, golf, etc. and the view is unbelievable. There is a two lane road right in front of the resort but the condos are still closer to the beach than most of the others towards Ft Walton. When we bought ours, some of the gulf front units were set so far back you couldn%26#39;t even sea the ocean. From our unit on the 3rd floor we watch the dolphins play along the sand bars. I like Resort Quest for a rental company when you are choosing where to stay. Make sure they have good pics of your unit and also make sure it%26#39;s well stocked with everything you need. I hate when there aren%26#39;t enough kitchen utensils or towels. We make sure everything you could need is there because some places barely give enough toilet paper. Good Luck and I hope you enloy Destin.

When you are looking at Destin keep in mind that several of the complexes are accross the street from the Ocean. For that reason we like to stay in Ft Walton Beach where most of the complexes are directly on the Beach. We like the Destin West Beach and Bay Resort. This property has both a gulf side and bayside complex with loads of pools. They have ahugh 5000sf pool on the gulf side and a 700 ft lazy river on the bay side along with many smaller pools, hot tubs etc.

dolphingirl- I see you bought at Majestic. We have booked at Ariel Dunes. They look like they are by Majestic. Do you know anything about them. This will be our first trip to Destin in May and we are so excited. I just have not heard alot about Ariel Dunes and would love to hear comments. Thank you

Or, go to VRBO.com. Lot%26#39;s of nice places to chose from.

Remember, beach view is not beach front. You want beach front.

Thanks for all the reccomendations.. From what I am seeing most places that look nice are pretty expensive. But, with kids I really want to stay somewhere where there is a lot to do close and that is very clean or it won%26#39;t be much of a vacation.

Thanks again for all ther replies.

I seen your kids aren%26#39;t school age, so could you come in May. We are coming in May before labor day weekend and are saving about 140 a night over what it would be after labor day weekend. Check out the difference in the prices.
