Ciboney 2006 Updated Unit with Beach Service, Destin, Florida Vacation Rental by Owner

Our family just completed a stay at Beach Blessing 2006 and loved Trish's and Mike"s beautiful condo. Great beach access, easy walking distance to Pompano Joe's, close to a couple of specialty ice cream, coffee, and souvenir shops. The condo had everything our family needed and more. Trish was easy to work with and responded quickly to questions we had prior to our arrival. Plan to stay there again in the future.

Brandi Wastler's reply:

Rod, so glad you and your family enjoyed your stay despite the delays in travel getting there. We would love to have you back!

This was our first time to stay at Ciboney 2006, Everything was great. Location is awesome. The Condo is gorgeous and very spacious. It had everything we needed. The Beach Service was a great bonus, (Really thanks for that). We got to bring our new grandson and it was just a wonderful relaxing trip. Trish is amazing to work with, she was very personable and responsive. Texting with her made me feel like more than just a renter. Thanks again Trish for sharing your great condo. Until next time.

Brandi Wastler's reply:

I am so happy you and your family had a great stay! Looking forward to having you back next year!

This was our first time staying here and it was wonderful. Trish is very friendly, personable, and responsive to any question you may have. The condo is beautiful, and everything you need to cook a wonderful meal. Our favorite area was the balcony. The view is gorgeous and so relaxing. Beach service was a plus, and we didn’t feel rushed to get down the the beach each day because your chairs and umbrella were already set up. It’s a private beach and not crowded at all. We hated to leave, but will definitely be back. Thank you for letting us stay at your place Trish.

Brandi Wastler's reply:

Amy, so glad you had a good time and the weather was nice! Would love to have you back next year!

If you are looking for a great area for families, this is the best! Trish's unit was a great stay for our family! We were able to spend time together as a family! Our previous stays have been in crowded areas on the Gulf and this was perfect! The area was not crowded and having the beach chairs was a plus. We did not have to rush down to the beach in the mornings as we already had our chairs there! The unit itself is gorgeous and had everything we needed. We will definitely be back!

Brandi Wastler's reply:

Thanks Nikki, hope to have you and your family back next year!!

We had an absolutely wonderful time at this condo. It was beautifully decorated, had all the amenities we could ever imagine. The beach service was an added bonus. The beach service company even set ours up as the first one closest to our beach entrance every morning making it super easy to get settled for a day in the sand and water. You can walk next door in 5 min or less and get ice cream or souvenirs. You can also walk to an indoor/outdoor beach restaurant Popano Joe’s in 10 min or less. If you want to avoid the crowds- order to go at the bar and have a drink on the boardwalk while you wait. This was hands down one of the funnest and easy trips to Miramar to date. Can’t wait to book again.

IF you're looking for a really nice, comfortable place to stay on your next trip to Destin, Beach Blessing is the spot. Trish & Mike will set you up with the finest condo on Miramar Beach. It has EVERYTHING you could possibly need : complete kitchen, full size washer & dryer, and much more, & only steps away from the Sugar White Sandy Beach. Memories made here will Last a Lifetime.

My family had so much fun making memories that will last a lifetime! The condo was beautiful and nicer than it looked in the pictures! The short walk across the street to the beach was no problem and the view from the balcony way great! The beach service was a great addition to the rental and the private beach was not overly crowded like some. We are hoping to make this condo a yearly tradition! Trish was great to work with. We can’t wait for our next trip!

Brandi Wastler's reply:

Tnanks Lindsay for choosing our “beach blessing” for your family vacation. Looking forward to having you back next year!

We returned today from a wonderful 10 night stay at this beautiful condo. We have stayed at this complex, Ciboney many times over the last 10 years but never stayed in 2006, owned by Trish & Mike. We will build our vacations around availability in this unit going forward. The owners have outdone themselves with decorating. The unit is gorgeous. Many people put use filters on pictures to make them look better but what you see in these pictures is actually what you will see when you walk in the door. The furniture is very comfortable. Beds are very comfortable and nice quality bedding. Fantastic layout. Kitchen has all the essentials. These owners created a home for themselves and share it with others. We can' t wait to go back and stay here again.

Brandi Wastler's reply:

Thank you so much Julie.. so glad you had a wonderful time. We can't wait to have you back next year!!

We stayed at Ciboney 2006 to kick off our summer (June 2019). This was our second time staying in Destin- but the countdown is on for when we can return to Ciboney 2006. The condo is beautiful, and the owners obviously care deeply about the renters and making sure they have the best experience possible. I could not believe when Trish emailed to apologize that it rained for part of our stay-as I expressed, they care about EVERYTHING! Even when it is raining, sitting on the deck and watching the rain is an awesome, peaceful experience. The walk to the beach and having chairs and an umbrella waiting (at no additional charge) was a bonus that we had not experienced in the past. Destin's beaches are beautiful, but it really enhances the experience to have a reserved front-row seat that Ciboney 2006 provides. Thank you for sharing your Beach Blessing with us!

We stay at Ciboney 2006 two to three times a year. There are many reasons we always come back. First off, the location is perfect. Literally steps to the beach. Also easy access back to Hwy 98. As Trish knows, we love happy hour at Pompano Joe's, haha. The condo is decked out with first class furniture and appliances. A/C works like a champ. The best thing we like about the condo is Trish. She always takes good care of us and is attentive to our needs. Communication is a two way street and Trish earns AAA+ in our book. My wife and I are looking forward to going back for a week in July. Thanks Trish for all you do!

Brandi Wastler's reply:

Sean, I am thrilled that you and Kate love coming to the condo with family and friends.. so please keep coming back!!! Thank you for choosing our beach blessing... we love sharing it with others!

We have stayed in Trish & Mike’s condo 3x now. Each time Trish has been nothing but fantastic to work with. She truly cares about everyone’s stay down to the smallest details! This super clean,gorgeously decorated, wonderfully comfortable, and well located Ciboney condo is the perfect getaway! A short walk to Coffee and wine, and even shorter walk to ice cream and beach stores..including bikes & motorized rentals. Located right across the street from Ciboneys private beach spot so you can run back to the condo if neeed in less than 5 minutes. The seasonally available umbrella and chair set up is icing on the cake! The beach view from the balcony is my favorite! A perfect place to relax anytime of day. Hearing the waves roll in and seeing that emerald water is my “happy place.” We love that Pompano Joes is walking distance and is great for happy hours and/or lunch and dinner. A short drive gets you to innumerable Shopping opportunities or down into the harbor walk/Destin area. Thank you Trish and Mike for sharing your home away from home!

Brandi Wastler's reply:

Tia, so glad you were able to make it back this year!! Looking forward to having you back again next year!!

Truly a magnificent two and a half month vacation!!! Warm & welcoming describe the owners and their beautiful condo. All the comforts of home with exceptional location along with comfortable beds, well stocked kitchen, etc. The list goes on & on. I look forward to my next visit with family so they can experience special times at Beach Blessing as well. I thank you both - Trish & Mike for allowing me to share your wonderful condo.

Brandi Wastler's reply:

MIch, it was a pleasure meeting you and we are so happy that you enjoyed your time at the condo. We look forward to having you back again!!

This was our first time staying here. The condo is incredibly relaxing and perfectly furnished. You can tell a lot of time and thought went into the look and feel of the condo. The closeness to the beach and shopping makes this a perfect place to stay. We can't wait to return to beautiful Destin and will definitely be contacting Trish and Mike again.

Thank You, Trish and Mike, for sharing your beautiful "Beach Blessing" home with us. The condo was perfect for us for our long weekend at the beach. So beautifully decorated and perfectly located right across the street from the beach with use of private umbrellas and chairs and close to great casual restaurants and other local amenities. Additionally, it is a short drive from the Ft. Walton/Destin airport. You will be our first call when we go back.

Our September girlfriend trip to teh Beautiul Ciboney 2006 was fabulous. this was a new place for us to stay on our annual trip. We could not have asked for a lovlier place to enjoy our weeks stay . The condo is quiet and beautifully decorated and provides a beautiful Guld View. It immediately felt likehome away from home. the condo iis spaciuos and so comfortable. It truly was a beach blessing for us!!!

We live in Dothan, AL less than 2 hours from Ciboney 2006. Out of all the units we've stayed in, including others in Ciboney, unit 2006 is the best! We've stayed in Trish's unit probably 5-6 times. We just completed a long Labor Day weekend and the beds and appliances were perfect. Free beach umbrella and chair service is just icing on the cake. Trish knows we'll be back, hopefully sooner than later!

We had such an amazing family vacation during our stay in the beautiful beach blessing. The condo was clean, quiet, updated and within walking distance to the beautiful white sandy beach. The condo was really decorated very nice and updated with everything you would need. The condo was close to many restaurants and shopping. Trish was awesome before and during our entire stay. Can't wait to visit again!!!

I highly recommend “Beach Blessing” it is extremely clean, quiet and comfortable. The view is amazing as well. A very short walk across to the beach which is gorgeous. The beach rental is a huge plus. The condo looks exactly like the pics! Trish is amazing and very easy to work with. If your looking for a fabulous condo close to the beach without breaking the bank this is the one!! 

My family has stayed in condos all the way down the Gulf Coast over the years, and this one was the cleanest and prettiest one we've ever stayed in! It is beautifully decorated, and Trish has thought of everything to make her renters' stay perfect. The location is wonderful. Super close to the beach, souvenir shopping and ice cream right next door, and tons of restaurants within a mile or two. The beach was also beautiful and super clean and not nearly as busy as we anticipated. We had one minor issue during our stay, and Trish got it taken care of immediately. She was awesome with communication as well. Thanks so much for an amazing vacation! We highly recommend this condo and will be back ourselves!

Brandi Wastler's reply:

Lindsay so glad you enjoyed your stay... hope to have you back next year!!

We had such a great time during our stay. The condo was clean, quiet and comfortable, and it was great to find a place that slept six so comfortably. The space was updated and within walking distance to the private beach. We would highly recommend it.

Brandi Wastler's reply:

Vickie, glad you and your family enjoyed your visit! See you in September!

This is our 2nd year coming to "Beach Blessing" and we simply love everything about this condo and its location. Its close to so much including the BEACH!! Trish and Mike are so easy going we can't say enough about their willingness to accommodate. We cut our stay short because of bad weather and Trish offered a discount if we would come back again next year. This place is a true home away from home.

The condo is absolutely amazingly beautiful! The decor is so beachy, the atmosphere is so welcoming. Mrs. Trish is amazing to work with and easy to communicate with. The facility as a whole was very laid back and relaxing. Plenty of room throughout the condo and nice and up to date! Been coming to Destin for years now and this condo has made #1 on my list! Would highly recommend this condo!!

One of the main things I look for in renting a beach condo is owner flexibility. Trish has gone well over the call of duty to make our multiple stays great. That's why her place is booked almost all the time. The condo is well furnished and up to date. Extremely clean! At the first of the year, Trish contacted me about booking for Mother's Day 2018. She is so well organized! When the description says walking distance to the beach, you basically have to walk across the road and down the stairs to a private beach. So location is awesome! As for the beds, they are so clean and comfortable. Usually I don't sleep well if it's not my own bed. Well I sleep like a newborn on these beds! Also like that Trish's condo is at the intersection of Scenic Gulf Drive and South Holiday. So easy access back to Hwy 98 to go to Destin or the Outlets to the east. I put a pic of my wife and I on the back patio overlooking the gulf. We have made Trish's condo a staple to stay at each and every year. Thanks Trish for everything!!!

We spent the past couple days here and had an amazing time I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a place to stay in Destin. There is a great beach access as well as an awesome view! The condo itself is kept up very well and made us feel right at home. Thank you Trish and Mike! You guys have done a great job with this place and we look forward to the next time we can schedule a trip down to the 'Beach Blessing' condo!

Brandi Wastler's reply:

So glad you enjoyed the condo.. sorry the weather wasn't the greatest, but wòuld love to have you come back!

The beach blessing was amazing!! We having been going to the Destin area for 20+ years and this was one of the best experiences we have ever had in a condo!! We stayed at another Ciboney unit a few years ago but the updates and full master suites made this the best stay by far! Trish has been great to communicate with from time of booking all the way through checking out. I couldn’t ask for a better stay and will definitely be making the beach blessing my new home away from home. We hope to become great customers for Trish and Mike as they continue to share there home.

Brandi Wastler's reply:

Ashly so glad you girls had a good time. Please let me know when you all are ready to come back! Thank you again for choosing our "beach blessing" for your girls weekend!

This "Beach Blessing" is truly the perfect spot for an amazing vacation. The condo is clean, spacious, and welcoming to anyone who comes through the doors. Equipped with two bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a bunkbed room - it is perfect for anyone (families, couples, girls weekends, etc) looking for a spacious place to stay in Destin. Complete with comfy furniture and a nice kitchen, it makes your stay at Destin both relaxing and like you are at home. Being a walking distance from the beach, restaurants, and shops puts you in a perfect location and allows you to stay close for a good time. I can easily say that my trip to Destin is the favorite trip I have ever had, and it is largely because of this amazing condo. The only complaint I have about my stay is that I had to leave, andI hope to return to Destin and stay in this "beach blessing" again soon!

Brandi Wastler's reply:

Brittany we would love to have you back anytime!!!

We enjoyed our stay at "Beach Blessing". The condo is beautifully updated and very clean. There is plenty of space and we had everything we needed during our stay. The balcony is large and looks out to the ocean. The beach is a 2-3 minute walk. There are a couple stores within walking distance and you can walk over to Pompano Joe's for dinner. We can't wait to return for a longer stay.

Brandi Wastler's reply:

Amanda , we would love to have you back! So glad you enjoyed your stay at our "Beach Blessing".

My family just spent our spring break in this condo and loved it. I’ve stayed in five different Ciboney units and this is the best by far. The condo is completely updated from the floors, decor and appliances. Each bathroom even had its own hairdryer under the sink. The bed and pillows in the master bedroom where I slept were very comfortable. The condo was very clean and even more lovely than in the photos. The modern refrigerator is huge and the freezer is XL and can hold multiple bags of ice. There is a great view of the ocean from the balcony and this unit is close to both the elevator and stairs. Trish the owner was very quick to reply to questions and very accessible. We look forward to staying here again.

Thanks Trish and Mike for sharing " Beach Blessing"! Spent the month of March and already planning a return ( : AWESOME!!! Beautiful updated and upscale condo. No one should be disappointed in their stay here. Perfect for girlfriend or sister trips, families, or anyone just wanting a great place to stay. King beds in 2 bedrooms with comfortable mattresses and nice linens. Digital HD TV's in bedrooms and living room. Kitchen had everything needed. View from balcony was a great way to start the day with a cup of coffee. Pool and grounds clean. Boardwalk for beach just across the street and I loved the beach service of 2 chairs and umbrella which was provided. Shopping close and as a female I loved the outlet mall ( : Great seafood within walking distance. Loved the Beach Church, also, which provided Sunday services 7.30a.m. outside of the Crab Trap.

Brandi Wastler's reply:

Marie, I am so glad you enjoyed your stay at the condo.. you were such a blessing for me to find to fill my gap after a cancellation! Would love to have you and your husband come back for a stay! Thank you again!

Starting the New Year out in Destin was great!! We only got to spend 2 days there and I knew we would be coming back. This place is the nicest place we have stayed in Destin and the owners, Trish and Mike are truly great people to work with and so very helpful when answering questions So great we just booked today for another week in August. This place has it all and is so convenient to shops and restaurants. We love your Beach Blessing!!

Brandi Wastler's reply:

Thang we are so very happy to have you back!!

This is our 3rd consecutive year staying at Beach Blessing! It's become our family's "home away from". The condo is updated, spacious, clean, comfortable, beautifully decorated & the location is perfect! Trish always makes sure everything is just right:) stop shopping around - you've found your place!

This condo was perfect for our needs. Fully stocked and updated kitchen. The style/decor was great and you can tell a lot of love has been put into making it nice. The beach service was convenient and the SHORT walk to the beach was ideal. The condo was quiet which is super appreciated when you have young kids trying to sleep. The owner, Trish, was always available whenever I text and was quick with her responses. She was great to work with. We will definitely be coming back!!This condo was perfect for our needs.

My family of five had a wonderful stay in this unit. Everything about the unit felt top notch. All was as pictured and described. No unhappy surprises. The owner tastefully and thoughtfully furnished the entire space. It felt like staying in someone's well-cared-for home. The balcony furniture was more upgraded than any rental I've stayed in. Lovely cushioned seats and ottoman... this was my favorite spot for morning coffee... looking out toward the ocean. The kitchen was well-stocked for cooking meals and the dishes and glasses were lovely, too. The appliances were updated and in great working order. There is a real laundry room, rather than a closet in a hallway or kitchen, which was great for dealing with all the needs of a family. It made washing beach towels and more much more pleasant. Securing the reservation and making arrangements was professional, timely, and easy. Before arriving I wasn't sure how I'd like needing to cross the street to get to the beach, but we were so close to the crosswalk and private beach access that this was no problem at all. And cars always stopped for us to cross. This was our first trip to the Destin area, and many years since our last beach trip. We had a fabulous time.

The condo was pristine when we walked in! Close to beach and everything...great family vacation spot!

we have been going to Destin for over 7 years and I can honestly say this is the nicest, cleanest condo we have stayed in. The owners were terrific and even called when we got in to make sure we had all we need for our family vacation! We forgot some things in the condo and Trish was able to get then shipped back to us... great customer service! We've decided to go back in the fall for a weekend getaway! Thank you Mike &Trish for L sharing your "beach blessing" with us

I have been to other rentals in the past that said fully stocked but we not, this property is fully functional. Two families of three stayed together comfortably. We cooked several times and without any issues of not enough dishes. Trish was super nice and easy to work with. Very clean, and nicely furnished. I would have moved in forever, if I could have.

Our family was looking for a long weekend getaway for my birthday, as well as Mother's Day. Ciboney 2006 is the real deal. The pictures do not do it justice. It was super clean and remodeled with the best furniture. A/C worked great! Plus, it's right across the street from the beach. As for the location to restaurants and shopping, it is right in the middle. This was our 2nd Mother's Day weekend at Trish's place. She is very easy to work with and super nice. Hopefully we'll be back again soon!

The location is great and close to everything you would need. You can either fix something to eat there or go to the restaurants close by to enjoy. Very clean and comfortable ... would definitely go back. GREAT job of remodeling and updating ...

The condo is beautiful! Very clean and decorated beautiful! We loved sitting out on the balcony and listening to the waves! Trisha was very sweet and helpful! We are looking forward to going back to their condo hopefully soon!

Ciboney 2006 exceeded our expectations. The location is awesome, the condo is maintained to a very high standard and the beach chairs as part of the rental are a great bonus.

We absolutely loved our stay at this condo. Everything was beautiful and we felt like we were at home. We have stayed at the Ciboney for several years and this unit is by far the best and our favorite. Thanks again for sharing your beach home with my family. We had a wonderful time and hope to return next year.

We have spent the last 3 months, enjoying Mike & Trish's Beach Blessing condo in the Ciboney complex. The decorating is so well done. Bright and cheerful. It was spotless upon our arrival. Bed's and living room furniture are nice and comfortable. Well stocked kitchen if you choose to eat in. The high top chairs and table on the deck are wonderful for sitting and watching the Gulf. The paved sidewalk is great for walking and biking. Beach chairs and umbrella are a very nice plus. Parking is so convenient. Unit is within steps of the elevator.We will definitely be back.
