Leeward Key 601, Destin, Florida Vacation Rental by Owner

Have been vacationing in Destin over 40 years, and this was our 1st time at Leeward Keys. Nice property, well maintained. Condo was easy to access, true to pictures, well appointed kitchen, nice sized bedrooms, beautifully decorated. Owners were easy to communicate with, and are very attentive to the details. Would definitely rent here again! (VRBO Review)

The beds are comfortable. We had an awesome time. The only down side is that there are not many restaurants within walking distance, but that is only a minor problem. The owners are fabulous to deal with. We would definitely stay again and recommend it to our friends and family. (VRBO Review)

There were 8 of us that stayed in this condo. It was very clean and had upgraded finishes that we really liked. It was in a great location, the pool and beach access were very close! The pool was not heated but didn’t stop the kids from jumping in. We would definitely stay there again! (VRBO Review)

We came for a wedding with 10 of our friends. Plenty of space, bathrooms, and some fun games! Beach access was convenient. And the check-out rules were simple to have done in time! We only wish we could have brought our dogs!

This place was great! Clean, convenient, beautifully decorated, affordable…you name it! Would definitely stay here again.

We had an amazing stay! Everything was perfect and the condo had everything we needed. The location is perfect for going to the beach, eating, and shopping. We would love to rent this property again in the future!

Very nice and welcoming. Would stay again. Great location and a lot of rooms for family and privacy when you are with a crowd. Beautiful beach 🏖 views from the huge balcony.

We had a fantastic time! There were 10 of us; 8 adults and 2 teens and we had plenty of room. Condo is in a great location. Loved having restaurants within walking distance and the pool on the beach. Owners were super easy to work with. Will definitely be back. Thanks so much for a great week away!

We had a great stay at this condo. They have taken great care in making this place light airy and pleasantly decorated. We were very happy to see it was just like the pictures. We have stayed at the leeward key many times before as it allows dogs. We like the location and the pool on the beach. Also close to two great restaurants. Kenny D’s being the most reasonably priced. 

Large enough to accommodate 8 people comfortably. Great location across from ocean! We also utilized the heated pool across the street, which was great! Wish there were more stores and restaurants within walking distance, but that’s no fault of the owner’s.

Beautiful property exactly as described. Loved, loved, loved the place

This place was just as described in the listing. Plenty of room for the 7 of us and our fur baby. It had everything we needed to cook our Christmas dinner and more! Apparently when its super windy(25 miles an hour) the elevators will stop and we did get stuck a couple times. Overall a fabulous home and a great time!

Family from Houston and Naples, FL found this unit to be the perfect halfway venue for an early Christmas and birthday meet-up. The four bedroom, three bath layout suited our group perfectly. Aesthetically pleasing and well stocked furnishings provided us with an easy and worry free gathering. Due to Covid we ate every meal in and thoroughly enjoyed the kitchen.. Our weather was cold so our time on the beautiful large terrace and the pool and beach were sadly limited. Next time! DD

Great for watching sunsets from your balcony or walking across the street to the beach. Within walking distance to restaurants and shops. We’ve enjoyed staying here the last two years.

We really enjoyed being so close to the beach, early morning walks on the boardwalk was appreciated by our dog while we enjoyed getting coffee from the coffee shop nearby. Sunsets are perfect, white sand on the beach is unbelieveable, pool and restrooms were always maintained. The property owner’s meticulously prepared lists for eateries and activities around the area is a great welcome.

VRBO Review #54388222
The condo was beautiful. The size of the balcony and the view of the ocean was amazing. The bedrooms were spacious and the beds were comfortable. We had 3 families to come and we had we plenty of room. The walk to the beach was very accessible and the pool being right at the beach was wonderful. My elderly mom came with us and we were able to get her to the pool where she could be right there at the beach and see the ocean without having to struggle to walk in the sand. She really enjoyed it! The other pool was great too. While we were using the grill...the kids and the other adults could hang out there and swim and enjoy themselves until the food was ready. The kids loved the bicycles that were available to rent. The kids and adults also enjoyed the cayaks and paddle boards that were available to rent! The location is very accessible to many activities for the whole family. We had a wonderful time and I would highly recommend this condo! If we decide to do this again next year we will hopefully be able to rent here again!

Beautiful condo, perfect location. Several restaurants in walking distance, grocery stores about 2.5 miles away. Watching sunset from the balcony was wonderful. Kitchen is small, but had everything we needed to cook great meals. Gas grills out by the pool worked great.

The condo could not have been any better and our family could not have had a better time. It was extremely clean and roomy. The week went too fast. Time flies when you're having fun was a very true saying during our stay in unit 601 at Leeward Key in Miramar Beach Fl. The huge balcony and view of the Gulf was amazing and probably the best thing. And we have to give the elevator a review because it was so clean, smooth and quick. Thank you Renee and Laura. The Fink Family

VRBO Review #28853624 submitted 10/14/2019
This condo was perfect for our two families-(12 people). Nicely decorated and very comfortable. Beach access was very convenient and the 2 pools were refreshing. Couldn't have picked a better property to stay at. Located next to a lot of places to eat and close to shopping. Only blemish was there must have been a leak in one of the master bedroom showers with some drywall damage-(probably from upstairs property) but that did not hamper our stay and was not a problem. Overall i would definitely rent this place again

This property was perfect! It was beautifully decorated, perfect location and the owners were awesome and responsive! Highly recommend!

We love this place! Perfect for our family and easy access to pool and beach. The condo is beautiful and the views are awesome. The big balcony allowed for all of the family to hang out at night. Can’t wait for next year!

We really enjoyed staying at this condo and would stay again without hesitation! Beds are comfortable, unit is updated, and decorated very well. The location is actually closer to the beach than I was expecting based on pictures. The beach service was a nice addition. The condo is clean and very spacious. It had everything we needed- regular coffee pot and k-cups, pots/pans, etc. We did bring extra toilet paper and paper towels. Next time we would also bring extra detergent tabs for the dishwasher since we did eat several meals in. I would also bring extra trash bags. We spent most nights on the deck which has plenty of seating. We didn't realize that the beach does not allow dogs until after we had reserved our condo but it seemed safe to walk around the neighborhood even at night. Nearby: Capt Dave's restaurant is across the street and the food was delicious- we would go there again!. Kenny D's next door was just okay and the service was pretty bad so we would skip it next time. The location of this condo was very convenient- grocery and shopping is just a 10-15 min drive. The traffic in this area was much better than down in Destin. We had a wonderful time!
VRBO Review #26244278 ssubmitted 5/22/2019

Can’t say enough good things about this place. 4 very nicely sized bedrooms all split between 2 bathrooms to provide some added privacy. Great place for big families or group couples. Great big living area and balcony for entertaining. Open plan to the kitchen for added convenience when cooking/socializing. Kitchen appears to be recently updated with new cabinets and a fresh new update of granite and tiles. Looks great. Outside of the condo, there is the added bonus of being able to request a beach setup for a little extra cash which is totally worth it And reserves you ringside seats to gulf coasts awesome waters. We’ll definitely come back here again

Loved it!  Great location!! We will definitely be back !!!

Enjoyed our stay. Beautiful condo. 

The condo was large. Loved sitting on th balcony watching sunset. The unit is very clean Will go back 

Great property, great view. My family had a wonderful time making memories here! 

The condo was exactly as the discription said it was. A close walk to the beach. The condo was amazing and well decorated. I believe the owner is an artist because she has paintings throughout that She has painted and they are nice. The beds were comfortable and the condo was well maintained. I would suggest this condo to all my friends and I can't wait until next year. Thanks Renee for everything! 

We really enjoyed our stay at 601 leeward keys. This was our first trip to Destin and it was amazing. There were 5 adults and 2 children and we had plenty of space; condo is very spacious. The condo is stunning! Beautifully decorated and extremely clean. One of the nicest places I've rented. The beds were comfortable and the kitchen met our basic needs. The balcony is big and provides a nice view. Leeward keys is in a great location with ammenities nearby but still a quiet area. There are restaurants within walking distance. We loved the ocean front heated pool and the chair and umbrella service. Being directly across the street from the private beach access was awesome! Everything was just so convenient and easy. We would love to rent here again! Our only issue was that we struggled with the tvs a bit (getting channels regularly) and one of tvs in the bedroom took us days to figure out why it wouldn't change channels, but not a big deal at all.

Renee Clayton's reply:

Thank you so much for your review and thank you for being our guests. We hear often from our guests how much they love the condo and the pedestrian community feel of our area. Leeward Key is such a terrific complex in the Destin / Miramar Beach area. We are look forward to your return. The TV issue is a bit confusing for some guests due to the way our cable company works from a "mini box" now but we generally work through those issues quickly.

It was a lovely condo, beautifully appointed and spacious for our group of five adults and two children. The kids enjoyed both the pool and the beach - both a short walk across the street.

My husband and I booked Leeward Key 601 for an anniversary getaway and we were not disappointed! The photos of the condo just don't do it justice. It is very beautifully decorated with a sophisticated, yet comfortable touch. The bed we slept in was tempurpedic and SO comfortable! We loved sitting on the balcony (which is also well appointed with nice and comfy outdoor furniture) each day and watching the sun rise and set over the beautiful gulf of Mexico. The unit was close to the private beach associated with the property as well as close to several choices for dining and shopping. The property overall was the cleanest we've ever stayed in with the owner and staff being incredibly courteous and attentive. We will definitely be back!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at 601 Leeward Key. The condo was beautifully furnished, has a large balcony with a great view of the gulf. The beach and 2 pools were easily accessible. The pool on the beach was heated in the winter.

We had a fantastic week at this condo. The condo has been decorated beautifully. Having two master bedrooms with great ocean views was a major plus for us since we had two families. Beach is right across the street and couldn't be more convenient. The patio was large, very tastefully appointed and was wonderful for relaxing after a day at the beach. The kids really enjoyed the beachside pool and we found everyone to be so friendly. Condo was fully furnished with everything we needed to make our stay like home. Renee, the property manager, communicated all the necessary information to make our stay stress free. Definetly will stay here again!
