Emerald Gulf Balcony View! King Size Bed! , Destin Area, Florida Vacation Rental by Owner

I rented Frank’s Condo for January/February 2020 and was extremely pleased with this Condo. Frank is an excellent host, he responds quickly to all of your needs. Great location and access to the beach and local restaurants. Would highly recommend to anyone!

Destin Beach View Condo
This condo on Scenic Hwy 98 was a perfect location. It is a few blocks from Destin Commons, which has shops and restaurants. Crystal Beach is just across the road where you can walk on public access ramp to the beach. There are restaurants close enough to walk to. The condo would be a good size for a family of 4. It was fully stocked with essential cooking utensils plus some basic grocery items (salt, pepper, paper towels, toilet tissue, hand soap, garbage bags, etc). The unit was very clean. The king bed was very comfortable, the sofa and chairs in the living room were comfortable as well. It was nice to be able to sit on the balcony in the mornings with our coffee while looking at the ocean. The beach chairs provided were nice and we kept them in the trunk of our car as Frank suggested, a great idea. We had no issues during our stay. Frank called our first day giving us great suggestions on things to do and our last day to see if all went well during our stay. If we are ever back in Destin, we would definitely reserve this unit

Great place!
We stayed 6 days and 5 nights. This property is GREAT. Not only is it beautiful, its right across the road from the beach. Frank was a huge help with everything. He called to make sure everyhing was in order upon arrival and he even called to ensure we made it home safely! We couldn't have asked for a better place to stay during our first week as a married couple. 100/100 recommend this to anyone thinking of visiting the Destin area. We will be staying here again and again. THANK YOU, Frank!

The location was perfect. Frank was so accommodating to us, made sure we made it ok and that the condo was clean. Thank you Frank for your hospitality. Sincerely The Boyett Family

Another Great Vacation
We have been to Destin for 14 straight years and this was our best vacation yet. The Condo was the nicest we have stayed in. Frank was very friendly and took care of everything that we needed.

Frank was an absolute pleasure to deal with. The condo is fully stocked with anything you may need for vacation. There is also chairs, beach toys, floats, etc. for you to use. I loved the location, it is close to everything.

We had a great time vacationing at Frank’s condo. We loved the ocean view, hot tub, pool, and the fact that the beach access was right across the street. The location of the complex was perfect, close to everything you could need! Frank was a gracious host and was just a phone call away if needed. He even called when we first booked to introduce himself. It was nice not having to go through a third

Really enjoyed the stay. Everything was ready to go with our stay. Frank was on top of everything we needed. Highly recommend

Comfortable, relaxing, best equipped rental we’ve had in Destin, across the street from beach. Outstanding, very engaging and caring owner, who was a pleasure to work with throughout the rental process. Highly recommended!

Great for couples or families. This is the perfect location to relax, unwind and play. Wake up to a view of the beach, palm trees, pool and people strolling, jogging or biking. The biggest decision is to join them or go back to your coffee on the deck. Spend the afternoon enjoying the beautiful beach and deciding on which of the wonderful restaurants you will dine at . . . or just decide to stay back to BBQ or prepare a meal in the fully equipped condo. Frank is a generous host and very easy to work with. Could not have enjoyed our time more!

Wonderful Stay!
Condo unit is well maintained. The photos of the property and views of the ocean are exactly as they appear on VRBO. Frank was great! He was responsive and checked in periodically to see how things were and gave us a few ideas on where to go/what to do. We preferred to go to the public beach access just east of the condo because it was a shorter walk to carry your beach stuff as you park right next to the beach. And, just as Frank suggests, leave everything but towels and coolers in your car for next beach day. Overall great stay! Go to Mcguires, Boshamps and Mimmos for great food. Lulus was best for frozen drinks

Cute condo. Loved the decor. Easy beach access which is nice Bc you don’t have to worry about parking. Condo includes an umbrella and 3 beach chairs.

Frank was a fabulous host! The condo had everything we needed and was close to everything. Breakfast on the porch, watching the ocean and dolphins was perfect! So thankful we found this gem! Thanks for everything, Frank! We'll definitely be back!

Fantastic Frank and Grand Caribbean East, Destin
This property was just what we needed, with protected pool (yet in the sun) and Jacuzzi to escape the double red flag wind warnings on Destin beaches. Frank was incredibly understanding when we were two days late on arrival, allowing us to extend our stay two days on the other end. The beaches are beautiful white sand with potential for incredible walks at the end of your day. Extremely comfortable condo - couldn't think of anything missing to make it better. Even a blender in the cupboard to whiz up a favorite mango frozen drink

LOVE THIS PLACE!
I wish I had found this place years ago. Frank is a pleasure to work with! This condo is the most comfortable and home like place I have ever stayed at. Every time I needed something....He already had it provided. The view from the L shaped balcony is excellent. The pool is heated to 80 during cold season and the hot tub was so nice. Great hours too, 9am to 10pm. Hot tub and a glass of wine is an excellent way to end the day. He has a Kuerig machine so be sure and bring your favorite K-pods. I will always try to stay here when we come to Destin. Kenny D's is right down the street if you need a good gumbo fix. Thanks Frank!

I have been coming to Destin and renting condos for many years. I wish I had found Frank's condo long ago. I have never felt so comfortable in a rented condo! Every time we thought we might need something...It was already provided. There is a Kuerig machine so be sure and bring your favorite K-cups. The view from the end of the L shaped balcony is excellent and we had our morning coffee there. The pool is heated and the hot tub was so nice and great hours..9am to 10pm. Frank is so easy to work with. Every time I head down to Destin...You can bet I will be trying to reserve this place. Thanks Frank for making our stay so wonderful.

We stayed in Frank´s Condo for 2 weeks in Oct / 2018. Had a great time there. Condo is very clean and the kittchen is well stocked ( including chairs and umbrella ). The location is great.Frank is a very nice and correct guy. We had to move to Alabama for two days ( Hurricane Michael ). When we came back Frank wanted to pay us back 250 US Dollar for our costs we had in Alabama. Is that not amazing ? Again, he´s a incredible nice person.We can gladly recommend this wonderful Condo.

Mr. Novak's place was beyond what we expected. Everything was perfect from the comfortable beds to stock kitchen, to how clean it was. Me and my wife cannot wait to go back to Destin and hopefully stay here again. Last I would like to thank Mr. Novak for allowing us to move our dates back a few days due to hurricane Florence.

Our family of 4 returns year after year due to the location, equipt condo, and attentive, caring owner.

Frank's vacation rental is one of the nicest and most cared for properties I have stayed in. You can tell he has pride is providing a well-stocked, clean, and wonderfully decorated home for others to enjoy. The location is great (and the view will be even better once those palm trees off the balcony grow a bit higher). The kitchen was very well-stocked which is a huge plus when vacationing. The furniture and master bed were way more comfortable than other properties in the same complex. Frank's handy little helpful notes that he leaves around the home are proof that he wants you to enjoy yourself. The laundry room was also well-stocked which was a plus. Overall, very attentive property owner and lovely place to vacation. We'll definitely be back next year.

The condo was perfect for my family. It was like we were right at home. The condo was more than we could ask for. We loved our visit and hope to visit again sometime soon. Thanks Frank and family for allowing us to stay in your beautiful beach home.

Property was very clean and well stocked. We were really comfortable here and the area is very nice. Just a short drive to restaurants and shops, and walk across the street to the beach. The price is reasonable and Frank is a really nice guy. I would not hesitate to stay again in the future. My wife and I really enjoyed it!

Would definately stay here again. Lots to do for kids and families.

I have had such a phenomenal experience with Frank and his condo, that I have returned year after year! This condo is extremely clean with wonderful updates. While the condo is across the street from the ocean, you still get a wonderful view! This is truly a home away from home- comfortable bed, washer/dryer, lots of towels, dishwasher, stove, and even a Kuerig! I have never had a disappointing experience with this condo as it exceeds my expectations every time.

Beautiful view of the ocean. Very nice place. Definitely recommend staying here

My husband and I spent the month of February 2018 at this condo. It is just as it looks on the pictures. The accommodations are very comfortable and the condo is very clean. I can't think of one thing that we would have needed . Frank is very accessible and will immediately answer any questions that you have. He is very concerned that your needs are being met. The weather was beautiful while we were there. Shops and stores are easily accessible in the area. The beaches are beautiful and the area is excellent for a walking or bike riding. The whole coastline can be explored in a day trip by car. We will definitely be back to this condo. It is in a great location. Thank you Frank for sharing your condo with us. Kim and Wayne

Frank's condo was as described and more. Nice Gulf views. Easy access to the beach. Well equipped kitchen. Quiet area close to stores. Well kept premises. Frank was very easy to work with and responded quickly to our inquiries. Will definitely stay again when in the area.

We would definitely stay here again. Enjoyed it!!

I would like to thank again to Mr. Frank for using his beautiful condo for another vacation last month. Everything in the condo was perfect and the kids love the most the big tv and nice and warm swimming pool. Mr. Frank is always helpful with any issue we might have during our stay. It does feel like a home away from your home. Thank you from whole our family.

We have stayed in Franks's condo several times over the years and it's always a great experience! Frank is very helpful and responsive to messages and calls. Any issues that come up are addressed immediately. We will continue to come back due to his great customer service and the facilities!

Our family of 3 just spent a relaxing week in this condo and we couldn't have been happier! Frank was super great to work with and very accomodating. The condo was clean and stocked with everything you could need for the week. This condo is in a super great location on the east end where it's quiet and traffic is not so bad. We truly enjoyed our first visit to Destin and the gulf shore and cannot wait to visit again in the future. Thank you Frank for everything

Second year staying here. We love Frank's condo! Wouldn't want to stay anywhere else. It's a very short walk across the street to the beach and the condo has everything you need during your stay.

Frank is kind, considerate, and very easy to work with.

The condo is very clean, the kitchen is stocked with everything you might need, comfortable beds, and beach chairs and umbrella to use instead of bringing or buying your own.

A few recommendations on restaurants...Merlin's pizza has great pizza and three cheese bread if you want quick and easy. Bric a Brac restaurant is a quirky, fun place to eat and has THE BEST manicotti I've ever tasted. Live music on certain nights and a dance floor.

I highly recommend staying in this condo and a big thank you to Frank for allowing us to rent from him and giving us a great place to stay for a wonderful vacation!!

Right across from beach! Nice view from porch! Relaxing unit, spacious, nicely decorated, and easy access to anything you want. Owner great to work with. We will stay again!

By far the best vacation Ive ever been on. Beautiful would be an understatement. Saw dolphins, a manatee (within 10 ft of us), and sting rays.

The room was amazing! We will definitely be back!

Thanks Frank ;)

We stayed her over spring break. What a beautiful condo right across the street from the beach!!! Very clean and homey!!!! Made my girls and I feel very comfortable!!! Frank went above and beyond making sure we were having a great time checking in with us seeing how things were going. He was very accomidating and I will be staying here again no doubt!!!

Thank You Frank!!! Cheryl Brown and the girls :)

My husband and I just spent our anniversary getaway in Frank's condo. We have stayed at Grand Caribbean, both East and West many times, but this was the first time in this unit. Everything was perfect, from the personal calls from the owner to make sure everything was good to the very clean unit that was stocked with everything we needed. I would highly recommend staying here. The views of the gulf were amazing and the condo is located close to all our favorite places in Destin. Thank you Frank! We'll definitely return 😊

I believe the owner of the condo and the condo itself deserves a rating above five stars! First, I need to thank Frank for his hospitality and genuine kindness. The condo on the Home Away website far exceeded our expectations. The condo was immaculate, very well maintained and had all of the extra amenities to make our stay comfortable.The balcony view of the Gulf is gorgeous. The pool and hot tub were a hit with our 5 year old grandchildren. The beach access is right across the street, which was a plus for a family that has little ones. During our visit, Frank recommended the Fishing Rodeo and Harbor Walk. Our grandchildren loved it! We also enjoyed the National Aviation Museum, fishing and dining at several local restaurants. I would definitely recommend this property to anyone.

This was our family's first big summer vacation and our first time to Destin. We loved everything about this place! The location is perfect and the views were great too! This is a small complex which we like so much better than big high rise condos. The unit is very clean and has everything you could possibly need. We absolutely loved having the washer and dryer in our own unit! There was plenty of room for our family of 5 (3 kids ages 7, 5, & 2). The older two loved the bunk bed in the hallway! Frank is a wonderful owner who will answer any questions and give you any advice and recommendations on the area and things to do there. He is very reliable and easy to get ahold of if needed. We absolutely loved this place and would highly recommend this rental! We can't wait to return!!
