Celebrating-- early -- our 50th wedding anniversary, we chose Unit 305 at Cabana Club in Destin. Right on the beach, it has a wide balcony with seating to sit and view the beautiful blue and green Gulf of Mexico and the powdery, white sandy beach. For the two of us it was a spacious accommodation: the living area right in front of the big, sliding glass door to the balcony, contained a sleeper sofa with a table lamp on either side, a coffee table, large screen TV and a floor lamp. There was a galley kitchen with refrigerator, stove, microwave, flatware, dishes, dishwasher, and so forth. There was also a table in the corner with four chairs. There was a bath with shower, jacuzzi tub, sink and toilet, and a half bath with sink and toilet. There were mirrors in the bathroom and in the hallway which helped to reflect light and make the place brighter. The bedroom was spacious, as well. We felt at home and loved the easy view of the ocean and the quick access to the beach. The Crab Trap nearby, although pricey as almost all restaurants are in Destin and the "Emerald Coast", was within easy walking distance and featured good food and helpful servers. We went to Destin in April to avoid crowds and heat and humidity, so some of our days were a bit cool. However, the beach was not crowded right in front of our unit, although there are umbrellas and chairs set up daily. It is a public beach with public access nearby and some areas did tend to get a little crowded on either side of us.
Access to the beach was through a gate with a security code, which led to a wooden walkway down to the beautiful white sands. There is a station with a water hose for removing sand from beach sandals and feet upon returning.
The owners communicated well and were nice to deal with. They recommended Crab Trap and Crackings restaurants, and we had good meals and good experiences at both places. If we should ever go back to Destin, we would not hesitate to rent this unit again. The color of the water is amazing, and the sand is white and powdery, like sugar. It is a lovely place, and we loved our stay.
