Phenomenal staff and the best beach views I have ever had at a hotel, you can literally walk onto the beach from your room. If you frequent Destin, you have to come here!

I really enjoyed my stay. I was scared because some of the reviews and was about to cancel. I decided to take the chance and it was so worth it. The room was so clean you could smell the freshness as soon as you stepped in. The view was amazing and just feet from the beach. Everything was in close proximity to the motel. This motel is definitely worth the stay and the price is super affordable for such a great stay.
