Eric was easy and fast. The condo was clean and well equipped. It was a great week and we played mediocre at great courses. I’d come stay again in a heartbeat. Thanks Eric

Eric’s condo located in San Destin is an excellent spot for a golf trip. The condo has plenty of space and a relaxing porch overlooking the bay. There are several golf courses located in the community and the wharf is a short walk. We will be coming back again next year.

Eric, the home owner was very good at communicating details we needed for our stay! I appreciated the reminders.

This adorable three bedroom, three bathroom home is located in a private gated community near Destin. It was clean and had all the amenities for our stay. The view from the balcony was beautiful at night with the sun hitting the water!

It was relaxing to walk the neighborhood, swim in the three private pools available, ride the golf cart provided to the beach with easy access within the resort neighborhood!

Grilling at night on the screened in porch was very comforting! There were also restaurants and shopping within the resort as well as within close proximity!

TVs are located in each bedroom and a washer and dryer are available in the home as well. He provides beach towels and beach accessories you can use while enjoying the pool or beach.

We enjoyed our stay and look forward to staying in one of Eric’s homes for any future traveling adventures!

Highly recommend the 1942 Boardwalk Dr property for your family vacation in Sandestin! This is our second time and we’ll be back again. It is spacious, clean, and stocked with all the amenities (e.g. – grill, laundry detergent, dish soap, toiletries, etc). The kids bunk room is a huge hit. The (2) 6-seater golf carts are the added bonus. We used them to go to the beach, Baytowne Wharf, grocery store, shopping, etc. Eric is there to assist you when needed and is excellent with communication/information.
