Pros

Private entrance and soundproofed rooms in all units

Limited on-site dining with only a deli

“This beachfront property strikes me as particularly well-suited to families, with direct private beach access that eliminates street crossings. I think the multiple pools, dining options, and planned kid's activities add considerable value. It's a gated resort near attractions such as Destin Harbor Boardwalk, which gives me a sense of enhanced privacy and convenience.”
