1304 EDGEWATER - ON THE BEACH, Destin Area, Florida Vacation Rental by Owner

We loved staying here. One of the reasons we picked this one, is because it was updated and looked wonderful. When we arrived, the condo was very clean, very updated and everything we hoped! We loved sitting on the patio that had a great ocean view! We definitely plan to visit again next year! Highly recommend!

My first trip to Destin in years! I spent a week in Edgewater 1304. Part of the time with family and part with a friend. The unit is so clean, beautifully updated and comfortable. Donna has gone above and beyond to stock it with everything you may need including beach chairs and toys! It has a large balcony with a beautiful view! The pools were awesome and the beach service was beyond my expectations! The sand and the water were so perfectly clean and beautiful! Edgewater is conveniently located near groceries, restaurants and shopping! Such a joy working with Donna! Thanks to both Bill and Donna for a wonderful week of memories with my grandchildren and friends! I look forward to many more summers in 1304!

The condo was awesome! Everything was updated and very clean! Donna was extremely easy to work with and was right there to answer any questions we had. We will most certainly rent this condo again on a future visit!

This is our family’s second time to stay with Bill and Donna! Their attention to detail is wonderful! The condo is beautifully decorated, always clean and very comfortable! We prefer to do a lot of cooking on our own and the kitchen has everything you could ask for! Thank you again for making our week perfection!!

Donna & Bill Arkell's reply:

So happy to have you back with us!!!! Let me know when you're ready to get your toes back in the sand and have a wonderful year!!!

Donna's attention to every detail is amazing! This condo was the most well stocked condo in which we have ever stayed! Donna is so accommodating too! She definitely wants to make sure you are happy! We made awesome memories this week that will be talked about for years to come thanks to Donna and her beautiful condo!!!

Great condo! We love staying in 1304 and Donna makes the experience! She ensures the condo has everything you need including pool/beach toys. My nephew (3yrs old) calls this his Florida Home and on flight home was already wanting to go back! I have stayed here a couple of times and will definitely get on schedule for next year - and maybe this year if I can! Definitely one to mark as a yes! Everything is clean and amazing view. Great balcony for morning coffee. ?? Beds are really comfortable. Kitchen is well stocked with cooking needs. Thanks Donna for another great visit ?

Donna & Bill Arkell's reply:

Kandy, it's always so great to have you with us! I love the story of your nephew!! Tell him his Florida Home is waiting - looking forward to having you back again (hopefully sooner than next summer). Thanks so much!

Absolutely beautiful condo with everything you need to have an amazing vacation. The unit is completely updated with beautiful decor and the view from the balcony will take your breath away! The owner, Donna was the best- she responds promptly and with all that was going on with COVID she was willing to give us a complete refund or let us reschedule at a later date. Do not hesitate to book this unit...it's perfect!!

Donna & Bill Arkell's reply:

Dana - thanks so much! I'm so glad we were able to reschedule your vacation and that you had such a wonderful week of celebration! Can't wait to have you and your family back again soon! All the best! Donna

This was our 1st time staying in 1304, but our 3rd time renting from Donna. Let me start by saying that she is the BEST to rent from. Great communicator and always right on top of everything. I would not hesitate to rent any of her units again. Now to the condo, it is everything you could possible want. Spacious unit with a great view. We had 5 people staying there and it had plenty of room. The sitting area has comfortable chairs and a great tv. Master has a comfortable king bed and bath has a huge walk in shower. Kitchen has anything you can think of. The entire area is nicely decorated and always clean. Beach setup is a nice addition and Donna provides extra chairs to carry to the beach. We love the Edgewater because it is close to some our favorite restaurants both in Destin and Santa Rosa, but also because it's a little quieter than being in the "heart" of Destin. I would highly recommend this unit (or Donna's 1BR unit) to anyone looking for a great place to stay; it is our favorite.

Donna & Bill Arkell's reply:

Thanks Angie! It's always great to have you with us and we look forward to your next stay!

We got to Donna’s 1304 Edgewater condo on Saturday, May 23rd and came home yesterday, May 30th. The moment we walked in, we were amazed with everything!! Donna checked in with us several times to make sure we were happy. The balcony is huge and the view is perfect. The condo has EVERYTHING you need!! We will be back! Donna, I can't thank you enough for opening your place to us and your kind heart!! I have stayed in many places and yours is now my favorite!??

Donna & Bill Arkell's reply:

Thanks Heather - so happy to have you and your family with us and look forward to having you back again soon!

Donna went above and beyond to ensure my family and I had the absolute best vacation experience possible! We will continue to book with her time and time again. It’s very rare these days to interact with people who truly care about your experience and satisfaction and Donna is a true professional and a downright wonderful human being, I cannot thank you enough!!!!

This was by far the BEST trip we have taken, and we have been doing this for years! Donna was amazing to work with and I know that we will be back!

Our family REALLY enjoyed every minute of our stay in unit 1304. Donna and Bill are wonderful to work with and the condo was very well stocked - everything we needed and felt like we were right at home!! The view on the balcony is absolutely stunning!

We absolutely had a wonderful stay in 1304. Donna was an awesome host. She gave us all the needed information about the condo, the local activities and restaurants in the area! The condo was lovely and very clean. The pool was awesome and the tiki bar offered breakfast and lunch.

My husband and I, along with our two children just left 1304. Donna was so kind and a pleasure to work with. As you walk in, you can smell and see that the condo is very clean. It is newly remodeled, warm and cozy which made us feel at home. The grounds were clean and my children loved the little playground. The beach service included was a huge plus!! We had a fabulous time. Thank you Donna.

I rented this condo for my daughter and her family. They loved everything about it. It was beautifully done and had everything they needed. Plenty of room for her family of 7 with the baby in a pack n play. Great views, handy shopping very close by and lots of restaurants, . They loved it so much they want to stay there again. Donna was wonderful to work with and so helpful. Thanks for sharing your beautiful condo with us.

2nd time staying at 1304 and it will not be the last! We love this condo, it feels like home as soon as you walk in the door. Donna has everything you need in the condo for an unforgettable beach vacation. It's a few steps to the beach and tiki bar if you want drinks or snacks. Having beach service included is GREAT! It's also super convenient with grocery store and restaurants right across the street! Donna and Bill, thanks so much for a wonderful vacation and for being such awesome hosts! We WILL see you soon!

We stayed in 1304 for the first time just last week. The condo was clean, spacious and cozy. It offered everything we needed. We will definitely stay with Donna again! Thanks so much for a fabulous week!

Our trip last week was amazing! Donna is an excellent hostess and she was warm and inviting, which made us feel welcome. Her Edgewater Unit #1304 was pristine and offered a gorgeous oceanfront/pool view. The grounds are meticulously kept. Donna's kindness and attention to detail at her beachfront condo made for a perfect trip. The furnishings were clean, modern and everything was in perfect working order. The unit had free Wi-Fi and we had no issues with it. Unit #1304 provided an outstanding location. It is across the street from the outlet mall and Chick-Fil-A :) There are many great restaurants nearby which offer oceanfront dining. We loved the covered parking and the beach chairs/umbrella included in our unit rental price. I plan to rent from Donna on my next trip to Destin...you should, too! You will not be disappointed.

We had a great week, perfect weather, great location, beautiful views and an absolutely gorgeous condo. The color palette was warm, beachy and felt just like home. I have been coming to Destin for years and have never had an owner with such personal care and welcoming. We will defiantly be back again. Thank you so much Donna!!

My family of 4 loved staying here for fall break! The condo has everything you need for a great vacation! We looked to book for spring break but someone beat us to it! We would stay again in a heartbeat!

My wife and I stayed at 1304 in October. We have vacationed in Florida many times, but this was by far our most memorable and enjoyable trip. Donna was very friendly and inviting. Seemed as if we were renting from an old friend. The condo itself was perfect. The location is perfect. Right on the beach. Great food within walking distance. Outlet mall across the street.A short drive into downtown Destin or a short drive tocSeaside. Just the perfect spot. We peaked in at Donna’s one bed room unit also. We are definitely going to be renting both units this summer and taking the whole family. 5 stars!!

Donna & Bill Arkell's reply:

SO great to have you with us!!! We look forward to having you back again next summer. Welcome to the family!

My husband and I stayed here in October 2018 and all I can say is....everything was perfect! Super clean and comfortable. We travel a few times a year now and this is by far my most favorite place to stay! Donna has thought of every detail to make your vacation relaxing and memorable! The kitchen has everything you might need. And it’s the small things that impressed me...like the cozy blankets for just relaxing on the couch or the binoculars. I seriously can’t think of one thing I would change. We can’t wait to book for this summer!

Donna & Bill Arkell's reply:

Thanks for the kind words, Carrie! It was a pleasure to have you and Brian with us this year and we look forward to having you back again and again!!! Welcome to our Destin family!!!

We enjoyed every minute of our beach getaway! The condo is beautifully decorated and clean, very nice and equipped with lots of extras. Beach chairs a plus! Keyless entry, very comfy beds (king with awesome ocean view ) and nice balcony. Would highly recommend renting this unit. Great location close to grocery, outlet shopping and very secure. Donna is a pleasure to work with too! We will Def be back soon :)

Excellent place, will definitely use again! Owners worked great with us!

What a wonderful place ! This condo has everything you need for a great vacation and the view is unbelievable. How nice to get up in the morning and sit on the balcony and look at this beautiful beach view. There are so many great restaurants & shopping in the area. We have been coming to Destin for many many years but this was our first time at Edgewater and I would absolutely come back. I have known Donna and Bill for a very long time and you couldn't ask for anyone better to rent from. They are the best. If you are looking for a great condo with a spectacular view you need to get this one booked because it is well worth it. Enjoy!

I cannot say enough positive things about our time in Destin staying at Donna and Bill's home at Edgewater. Waking up every morning with a hot cup of coffee, sitting on the patio watching the dolphins swim by, was just what we all needed. It was my parents first time visiting and I know they will want to return. The unit was beautifully appointed and wonderfully remodeled and just plain comfortable. We had everything we needed. Having the beach rentals included was just icing on the top. Donna is always a joy to work with and we will be returning. Thank you again.

Donna & Bill Arkell's reply:

Jean, it was so wonderful to have you with us here at our new Edgewater home! Always a wonderful thing to have our guests return and bring others with them! Thanks so much! Can't wait to have you and your parents visit again!!!

We have booked with Donna and Bill several times. Always love renting from them. This was our first stay at Edgewater. We took our 15 year old daughter and 3 of her friends. We had a great time! The condo was nicely decorated, comfortable, and the view was great! Donna is always available to answer questions and help out if help is needed. We hated to leave, but we will return!

Donna & Bill Arkell's reply:

It was so great to have you with us again!! Thanks for staying - let me know when you're ready to get your toes back in the sand!

Morning coffee outside, on a large patio, with my family, on the 13th floor, watching the ocean ... my dream come true!! This condo is beautifully remodeled, completely equipped with anything you might need and is in a great location. We were within walking distance to many restaurants, shopping, grocery store and most importantly, the beach. We took advantage of the grills, hot tubs and the gym that is on the property. Donna was so easy to work with and responded very quickly to questions. The condo absolutely felt like home!!

Lets get to it !! LOVE the view from the master bedroom BED!! Opening my eyes to see the ocean in a super comfy bed is, well priceless!! Essentials- want to cook, play on the beach, family game night, maybe movies ? Owner has you covered. They even have additional beach chairs in the "extras"closet just outside the front door. Yeah, check that closet out! Owner is attentive and genuinely wants you to have all you need for a relaxing vacation. There is a cool connection with the artwork throughout. Owner is an artist, very unique touch! See you in 2018. Thank you !!

For the past 8 years my husband and I have been going to Panama City Beach. This year we decided to try somewhere new. Donna set us up in her Condo in Miramar and we fell in love. Miramar is the cleanest, safest place we have ever been too. There is alot of things to do in the area and lots of things to see. Edgewater was very nice. Gated condos, security and police officer were there every day and night, the grounds are well kept up. We loved that you have beach and pool view from every single balcony there. We also loved how there was so much grassy areas to play soccer and throw a football. Edgewater is smaller so alot less people so your not crowded on the beach. The Arkells condo was very clean and had everything we needed. Im very particular about my spaces being clean esp bc that is the field i work in and it was perfect with no complaints. The beds were super comfortable and everything felt like home. Donna even check in with us to make sure everything was perfect during our stay. Needless to say we will never return to PCB as we have found our new home away from home. Hands down to the best condo owners who made sure we felt like we were part of their family. See yall next year!

Donna & Bill Arkell's reply:

It is so great to have you as part of our Destin family!!! Looking forward to having you stay with us again and again!
