First trip at Inlet Beach a success!

Rated 5.0 out of 5
January 3, 2026

We were very pleased with our stay at the property at inlet beach. Our host Eric was very helpful and gave clear, prompt communication during our visit. The home was clean and comfortable for our family of 5. We loved having use of the golf cart to visit the beach which was a quick trip down the street. The home was close to restaurants, shopping, grocery store and just about anything needed. We cant wait to return and would recommend this property if you are considering a trip near the 30a area.

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

3 bedroom condo - San Destin

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.
