East Pass 508 -Breathtaking Location & View!, Destin, Florida Vacation Rental by Owner

We have been coming to East Pass 508 for over fifteen years. So many wonderful memories and pictures have been made there. My grandbabies have sat on the balcony waving their little American flags as the air show (with fighter planes) that flies over at sunset. We would fish till the fireworks show at 9 p.m. that happens every Thursday evening. We've ate breakfast, lunch and dinner all together at the bar that sits everyone so it makes for fun cooking and awesome relaxing conversation. In the evening, we have taken the boat taxi across to Harbor Docks for dinner. A few years ago, my 5 year old grandson rode the zip line ... we were all there to celebrate him on. We've also celebrated our June birthdays there, playing games on the deck, dolphin watching, boat watching...don't forget the pirate ship! Like I said, so many memories. This condo has everything you need and then some to enjoy your vacation. Btw, the beds are so comfortable, well equipped kitchen for all of your cooking, two great rooms divided by the huge open kitchen. Also, we rented a boat slip across from East Pass. Great place for family pictures for an unobstructed sunset. Done that too, although it's time for another session. As you can tell, we love this place.

Lisa, you are so kind to say such nice things. We have been going to Destin for over 25 years and East passed was one of our favorite places to stay. We loved it so much, we purchased a unit there in 2021. Glad to know you love it as much as we do.

We stayed at East Pass 508 the week between Christmas and New Year's. We found the condo beautifully decorated and fully stocked for anything you might want during a week vacation! The owners are great to work with and it was especially nice to have an extra refrigerator in the laundry room for sodas and water! We have stayed on Holiday Isle many times and love how it seems quiet and laid-back but close to all the action. The views at East Pass 508 are the best anywhere in Destin and would definitely recommend East Pass 508 to anyone looking for a fabulous vacation in the Destin area!

Iggie Perrin's reply:

Thanks so much Jessica for the kind words! We are so happy that you and your family enjoyed your stay. Since we also stay in the condo, we manage it as a place we would like to stay as well. This is unlike a lot of other places which are mainly investment properties. Hope you consider staying with us again!

This condo is GORGEOUS! There are views from each window and every room is well appointed and comfortable. There is a lot of space too! The kitchen has everything you need - unless you are a baker. If you are, bring your own mixer. LOL Everything else is there! The balconies have plenty of seating to watch the constant parade of boats that come and go. The water is brilliant emerald, turquoise, and blue during high tide. It's hard to not just sit and stare! We had front row seats to the fireworks Thursday at 9:00 p.m. hosted by the Emerald Grande. Having a washer and dryer in the condo was so handy as was the extra refrigerator! We kept water and soft drinks in the second fridge leaving plenty of room in the kitchen for regular items. We spent most of our beach time at the O'Steen beach which is in the pass. At high tide, the water is brilliant. When the tide goes out, the water looks more like lake water because it comes from the bay. I'll be honest: I've had back surgery and am not in shape (unless round is counted) and the walk from the beach access point to the water was tough! The rest of the family (husband and 20 year olds) had no problem. If you want to go to the Gulf, I'd recommend renting a golf cart because that access is quite a distance from the condo. I loved the slower pace of Holiday Isle and the ease of access to so many restaurants and shops. There is no doubt in my mind that you would enjoy a stay at 508N in East Pass Towers.

This condo is wonderful. The view the decor everything was perfect. Spacious living and the kitchen over stocked with everything you could need.

Iggie Perrin's reply:

Thank you so much for choosing East Pass 508. We are glad that you enjoyed your stay and appreciate your good feedback!

We have stayed in countless condos in the area and this one was by far our favorite!! The attention to detail was second to none and the views were absolute paradise!!! We had a dolphin show in front of the condo every day and the kids LOVED it! There is so much space so everyone isn’t on top of each other and the privacy of the location is a dream!! All the perks of Destin without all the chaos! Catherine was excellent to work with and we can’t wait to book here again!

Iggie Perrin's reply:

Thank you for your kind words and choosing East Pass 508. We are the new owners, Iggie and Christine Perrin, and we look forward to hopefully hosting you again in the future. Catherine has been wonderful in the transition such that our guests would hardly know there was a change of ownership. We have been staying in different places over the past 20 years and fell in love with East Pass Towers. When this unit came on the market, we jumped on it. It is by far the best view in Destin. You can also look at our new website www.Eastpast508.com

Absolutely the TOP OF THE LINE of condos in Destin.Great views and location with all the amenities.Great place to relax with privacy.

I was extremely happy with this large 3 Bedroom 2 1/2 bath condo. There is a large laundry room with full-size washer and dryer to spacious separate sitting area is very clean. The wrap around balcony was perfect overlooking the water! I would definitely recommend this condo and would rent again myself.

We so enjoy our time here every year . It is a great place to stay and enjoy the beach with your family.

We spend a week here and absolutely loved every minute of it. The views are breathtaking! Condo was clean, beautifully decorated and had everything that we needed. VERY pleased with the ease and speed of communication with Catherine. We will be back!!

This was our 3rd stay at this condo and we are always pleased! We absolutely love the views and spaciousness of this condo. You don't feel crowded inside or outside. The complex is in the heart of Destin yet unbelievably peaceful. You will not find better views than this condo and East Pass Towers offers tranquility in beaches every time.

We stayed at this condo for the week of July 4, 2019. To say it was amazing is an understatement. The location is incomparable. Your view of the pass is perfect from any of the 3 balconies. The place is huge, so much space to spread out in. The view of the Destin Bridge and Crab island is perfect. The Harborwalk is just a hop away as well as all the restaurants and shopping you could ask for. Its quiet and the privacy was a really nice switch from what we are used to. You have your own private beach and pool. I just cannot rave enough about the place. Mrs. Catherine was great to work with and quickly responded to any questions we may have had. If you're looking for the perfect Destin location, this is it. You will NOT be disappointed

We enjoy this space so much we keep coming back year after year. You can not beat the ocean views. Great place to make memories with loved ones .

We really enjoyed our stay at this condo. It has everything that you want and need. Out each deck the views are beautiful.

Really enjoyed our stay. We were able to rent a boat slip in the marina and have our boat close to be able to enjoy all Destin Harbor has to offer. Easy access for the water taxi to pick you and your family up and take you to any restaurant in the Harbor. Fantastic views and great patio. Owner was very easy to work with.

The condo was great and the views are spectacular. You cant find a better place to watch the sunset. The condo is huge and has plenty of room for 8 people. Building is not very crowded and neither is the beach. I would definitely stay here again.

This was our first trip to Destin and it was awesome. The condo is super nice and it has more than enough room for 4 adults and 4 children. The balconies were huge and the views are wonderful. The kids really enjoyed the pool. The laundry room and extra refrigerator were surprisingly handy. I was a little worried about the trek to the adjoining public beach but it really wasn't that far or that crowded. Perfect for our beginner swimmers and full of ocean life. I felt sorry for the hermit crabs but they all made it back home by the time we left for the day :). We would definitely like stay here again when we come back!

What a great place to stay, the view was just unbelievable and the condo had more room than expected. It’s very convenient to wherever you need to go and we kept our boat just across the street at the new marina. I look forward to stay there again, it has spoiled us. We have always stayed at the Emerald Grande but no more

This condo is beautiful! You can't beat the views and the two large balconies allow you to enjoy them fully. The condo is spacious and has everything you need. It is beautifully decorated and very well-maintained. The pool is very nice as well. It was great to be able to watch the fireworks right from our balcony! The owner was organized and made the entire process seamless. I would highly recommend staying here!

We had a great time the place was very nice and very comfy. We will be back next year for sure. I could not ask for a better place and location for Destin . Ms. Catherine is very easy to work with and very professional. We have been coming down to Destin for the past 20yrs or so and this place is the best place we have stayed at. We did not want to leave:).

We have been coming to Destin for the past 20 years and have never stayed on Holiday Isle. I wish we had investigated this area sooner. Came down for a relaxing Mother/Daughter and friend vacation before she started her Senior year of High School. I was afraid 2 teenage girls might be bored, but they loved every minute of it. The way the condo was layed out, there was plenty of room for everyone, lots of TV's, so next time I hope to bring more of our family because it has 2 separate family rooms. The kitchen was absolutely fabulous where we actually stayed in a couple evenings and cooked so we could just sit and eat on the balcony and enjoy the view. The place was very quiet, we had the beach area almost to ourselves, took the water taxi in the evening over to the Harbor Walk. The girls took the water taxi over to rent Paddle Boards one afternoon, while I walked down a little further to the end of the island to swim. I cannot wait to come back again, but from the look of things, it looks booked until January. Owner was very easy to get in touch with, so everything was perfect.

We just got home from our 3rd trip to this awesome condo and had a fantastic time with our kids and grandkids. Plenty of room and everything is 1st class. If your stay includes a Thursday you are in luck due to the fireworks and air show that happens right off the balcony. This place has all that you need for a great stay. We will be back.

Spent a week in Destin and we certainly chose the right accommodation. This condo is huge and in a perfect location. The views of the Gulf of Mexico, East Pass and the bay toward Crab Island are spectacular. If not for the allure of the beach and Destin, we might have been content to spend 7 days without ever leaving the condo. This place is really nice...the master bath 'rain shower' alone was worth the price of admission. The master bed was way too firm/hard for my comfort, but I lean toward a soft bed anyway. TV's everywhere!!! The kitchen is perfect for cooking meals and we were not lacking for anything...even found an ice cream scoop. The convenience of the water taxi cannot be overstated, especially considering the sometimes difficult evening parking availability at Harborwalk. (mornings are ok for parking) Just be sure to call ahead for the taxi. Eating suggestions: AJ's and La Paz. If you are going to rent kayaks, waverunners or a pontoon boat, look no farther than Luther's. They were very service oriented and even met us at the car to help unload our things. Wanting fresh seafood to cook? Go to Sexton's market and you will not be disappointed...take cash because they don't take credit cards. Back to the condo...Catherine was great to work with throughout this process. This place was worth every bit of our 9-hour drive. Seriously considering a return trip...might fly next time though.

Each year we love staying here at the East Pass Condo's, next to Noriega Point. We love staying here and spending each day on the whitest beaches on the Gulf & snorkeling in the crystal clear waters. This 5th floor unit has beautiful views of the gulf from 5 different rooms. We especially enjoy watching the many fishing boats leaving the harbor each morning heading out into the Gulf of Mexico and then returning in the afternoon. It is truly a beautiful and relaxing site to watch from any of the many balconies in this unit. This condo is so spacious, it has 3 large bedrooms, a huge kitchen with stainless steel appliances, 2 large walk -in showers, 5 TV's, & laundry room with extra refrigerator. And there are so many great restaurants to dine at too! It's a little hard to sort through the many restaurants, but one bit of advice is to skip the chains. Our favorites are: Louisiana Lagniappe, Dewey Destin's, Bayou Bill's Crab House, The Red Bar in Grayton Beach and a homemade desert from the Donut Hole Restaurant.

Enjoyed our visit to this beautiful condo with an awesome view. Loved watching the boats go by in the early morning while drinking coffee on the 2 spacious balconies, or sitting out in the evening and enjoying the sunset. The luxury of this condo is amazing, beautiful decor, spacious, top notch appliances, extra refrigerator, tv's in every room, all the amenities needed for our stay. The Water taxi is very convenient and took us over to the harbor where we enjoyed dinner at Harbor Docks. Rented a pontoon boat and went to lunch at Dewey's on the Bay and floated around at crab island. Also had a wonderful anniversary dinner at the Beach Walk Cafe. If you want to stay somewhere quiet and first class this is highly recommended. The owners are easy to work with and very nice. Look forward to our stay next year!

Just spent a week in this luxurious condo. We vacationed with another couple but had more than enough room for each of us to have "our space". Beautifully decorated with first class décor and furniture and so very comfortable. Outstanding views from all of the many balconies with views of the boats going out for a day of fishing the morning to awesome sunsets in the evening. Had all the comforts of home including a second refrigerator in the spacious laundry room. Out of the many condos we have stayed in all over Florida, this was absolutely the best. Catherine was once again wonderful to work with and very accommodating. We loved it and will definitely come back again.

Enjoyed a week in this fantastic condo. Beautiful, quality décor yet comfortable and inviting. The beds were extremely comfortable and the bathrooms were spacious and luxurious. Condo was stocked with everything you could possibly need, plenty of dishes, cookware, towels, blankets, even water toys and beach chairs and umbrellas. Utility room with a full-size washer and dryer, an extra refrigerator, and more storage space was very handy. Our son, his wife, and our toddler grand-daughter joined us for part of the stay and the layout of the unit was very nice as the master bedroom is on one side of the unit with the living, dining, and kitchen areas separating it from the other two bedrooms and bathrooms. A very nice set up for privacy when staying there with a group. We've vacationed in various condos in Destin many times and this unit was by far the best we've stayed in. The location is perfect, quiet and not high traffic, but yet close to everything. We used the water taxi multiple times and that is a fantastic convenience for getting over to the Harborwalk Village and restaurants, picks you up and drops you off right outside the complex gates. But without a doubt the best feature amongst so many outstanding features were the balconies. Two huge balconies overlooking East Pass and even a view of the Harbor. The views were totally breathtaking. Sat out on the balcony every morning enjoying our coffee and watching the parade of boats go in and out and even saw dolphins swimming in, view of the sunset in the evening was perfect. This condo is worth every penny and I would highly recommend it to anyone considering it.....you won't be disappointed. We definitely hope to return!!

My husband and I shared this lovely condo with my daughter, her husband, and their two toddlers. This was the perfect place to share. There are two masters in separate living layout. They were close to the girls' room, and we were on the complete opposite side of the condo allowing privacy and so much space to spread out. The bathrooms are wonderful in their decor and luxurious . The laundry room is such a nice addition so that we were able to wash our clothes before we left and just unpack clean clothes when we got home. The kitchen was great with all available conveniences. The views are just simply gorgeous. We consider ourselves "foodies" but we just couldn't drag ourselves away from the balconies to go out for dinner. The location puts you right near anything you can possibly need...fun, dining, adventure activities, golfing, sailing. We felt very much at home and never wanted to leave. We absolutely loved it. I am extremely picky when it comes to maintenance and the property management does a superb job keeping this place clean, clean, clean...and everyone is extremely friendly and helpful. We will return as often as we can. It was a great experience. I miss it already. The owner was easily reached for any questions or concerns. Go For It! You won't be disappointed.

We have been in several condos in the Destin area, this being the best. My wife, four children (age 22, 19, 11, & 7) and two of the older children's friends, were all completely satisfied by the décor and spaciousness of the unit. It had been updated to today's standards (beautiful!!). Very comfortable. The balconies were more than ample and appointed with comfortable patio furniture. We loved the additional refrigerator in the laundry area. With a large group, it came in handy. Our first time in the pass, but not our last!! Location, location, location :) Loved everything and definitely will be back to very same spot!! Applaud applaud!! Thanks for the memories :) !!!

We had a wonderful stay at this condo. It was really large with 2 dens and the pictures just do not do it justice. Each room in the condo has a beautiful view of the pass. You can stay in the condo and have a great beach view from any spot. The beds were very comfortable! The kitchen was well stocked and we loved the view from the balcony! All in all probably one of the best places to stay in Destin.

Although the property looked great on the internet, we were taken away by the beauty of the condo when seeing it in person. It was much more than we had imagined. The furnishings were sensational, the condo had everything we needed and more, and the view was breathtaking. The property was spotless. The owner responded quickly to any question we had. It was a pleasure talking to her. We would highly recommend this property. Also, there were many restaurants in the area; Bubba Gump Shrimp, Joes crab shack, Olive Garden, Carabbas, Outback, Fridays, Applebees and much more. The outlet was close by, next to the Bass Pro Shop. This was a vacation we will never forget. Also, my better half says the fishing was exceptional. Plenty of deep sea fishing charters to choose from.

My family and I have spent our last several vacations in Destin at different rental properties and I must say that this was the best yet. We really enjoy the Holiday Isle location because of its proximity to attractions and restaurants but with the peacefulness that you want on vacation. The views from all areas of the condo were magnificent. Beautiful sunsets, dolphin watching and my favorite pass time of drinking my coffee on the balcony and watching the fishing boats leave the harbor. Catherine was a pleasure to work with... extremely helpful and friendly. She even went as far as letting us know of a festival that was taking place that we were not aware of. The accommodations were excellent from the quality of the furniture, mattresses, cookware, amount of towels for usage and even chairs and umbrellas to use on the beach. We were fortunate to meet some great people while enjoying the pool area and had some great conversations. My family and friends will definitely be back and I will recommend to everyone I talk to about great vacations to see what East Pass Towers has to offer.

Wow..what an outstanding place to stay. From the decor to the balconies that face equally beautiful waterfront views, this condo lacks for nothing. Fully equipped with everything you might need even the quietest dishwasher we have ever been around. Because the kitchen is centrally located that was important. Restaurants and attractions are very close by. We took our boat for the first time and it could not have gone better with the boat slips being right across the street. The owners are so easy to work with and really understand what vacationers are looking for. We will be back.

We absolutely loved the condo. It was even prettier than in the photos and very spacious.

My family vacatoned here for two weeks and had a great time. The Condo was great, very spacious, great amenities and we had great views from the balcony. The beach area was private and easily accessible. We had an infant and the easy access really helped. It felt secluded, but we were close to many restaurants. I would recommend this location to anyone looking to vacation in Destin.

I am really picky about where I stay when vacationing. My home is nice and it's hard to find a place to stay that meets my expectations. I felt right at home with nice furniture, linens, and all accommodations of home. The view was amazing from every room! This is a nice place to get away and relax without having to fight the crowds found in high rise condos. We will definitely visit again!

This condo is perfect! Clean, comfy and very well stocked. Loved the decor! The large balcony was such a wonderful place to relax. Loved watching the boats and dolphins and fireworks....and the pool was perfect for us, and the fact we could use floats (that were provided) was a nice surprise. We would recommend this place to everyone! The owners were very easy to work with and checked with us to be sure all was well. Keyless entry to each area was a huge plus for our family.
