This unit was clean upon arrival and this was the first time we've stayed in this particular unit. We've been coming to the Tides for 20 years and have stayed in a variety of different units otherwise. The kitchen was well stocked with everything needed to cook. Plenty of glasses and silverware in this unit. The couch in the living area is a bit old and sunken but not so much that it was uncomfortable. All 3 tvs worked and they worked easily using just one remote!! We've been staying at the Tides for 20 years and, with the advent of "smart tvs," we've been made to feel really dumb trying to operate the tvs in numerous units. For the first time EVER, it was such a pleasure not to have to call a tech to come and teach us how to use the tvs!! I would stay here again just for the tv situation and the comfy bed in the master bedroom. The only recommendation I would have is that the living area could use a rug. Upon our arrival, there were two throw rugs hanging from the top of the master bedroom door but they were actually too slippery on the tile floor (no rubberized backing) to use so we pushed them aside. Additionally, (and this could be a housekeeping or TOPS'L thing) there was no bar soap anywhere in the unit. There were pump containers in each bathroom and the guest bathroom had a smaller pump jar of soap, but the master bathroom had no soap at the sink so bring your own guest soaps. Also, I usually request two extra blankets upon arrival and guest services in visits past have always sent them to our room that evening. Not so this time. The young man told me "we don't provide extra blankets anymore." I asked him to speak to someone about that and I followed up as well. Anyway, the blankets arrived the next day. Another issue-may be a change in how TOPS"L operates now-is that the key to safe in the master bedroom closet was missing and I was told by guest services again that "we don't do that service anymore." Not sure if that is correct but I'm mentioning it now so TOPS'L can provide clarification. All in all, very nice unit and we will stay here again.
The beach and ocean view
Good square footage and very nice outdoor furniture. Indoor decor/quality needs some TLC considering how much it costs to rent.
We have been going to Destin for over 20 years for our annual trip. We usually stay at different condos but for the last 3 years we have stayed at this condo. I it is very large and has lots of seating in living room, a well stocked kitchen , large deck so we can have our morning coffee and enjoy looking at the ocean. The condo is always very clean and the beds are very comfortable. Vacasa is a great management company and is always available if you have questions. Will be back next year.
TOPS'L Tides is a lovely area for those who love beach and tennis together. This unit has a very nice living space and a great view of the ocean. We did see the dolphins from the balcony without binoculars.
The layout is perfect with lots of space to gather together for conversation, games, eating, etc. Beautiful view on the patio for morning coffee ❤️
