Leeward Key 705 was perfect for our family. Very spacious and clean, as well as ideal location overlooking the gorgeous beach. Some local restaurants close enough to walk, but overall, regular use of a car is necessary. (VRBO Review)

Everything was wonderful. We really enjoyed the condo and the location was central to everything. We stayed for 2 weeks. When I had a concern or question the communication was prompt and helpful. The condo and building were very clean. My only suggestion for the condo would be to have more hangers. My only other complaint would be the air ventilation in the workout room. I was impressed with the equipment but the airflow was hit or miss. More fans or at least have the fan not on a motion sensor so it can run continuously. Would recommend the condo and property to other for sure. (VRBO Review)

It is always scary renting an unfamiliar place, but this condo lives up to everything listed and more. Check in is a breeze with the code provided by the owners. The condo is well decorated and very comfortable. The shower is fabulous. The kitchen is well stocked, if you are going to do much cooking (we were on vacation so we did very little cooking). Access to the beach is very easy. Was a little concerned about having to cross the street but it is a piece of cake. There is a cross walk and most traffic stops to allow for crossing. Sitting on the balcony is pure heaven. The place is very quiet. Only noise from others was an occasional chair upstairs. At the time we stayed, pets were allowed but the rules may be changing by the HOA which will prohibit us staying there again, BUT if pets were again allowed we would definitely stay here again . Lovely home away from home!

We had a great experience staying at the condo. It’s newly updated, open and clean.

Condo was very nice & clean. Location is great! Walking distance to 2 restaurants near by. Access to the private beach plus the 2 chairs & umbrella was awesome! The only downfall was we have a 2 year old & there wasn't a deadbolt on the front door, so he could easily open the door.

Have been traveling to Destin for almost 30 years, so we’ve stayed at a lot of properties. We are very particular about where we stay. We want perfection, or as close as we can get. This property, Leeward Key 705, was as close to perfection as we’ve seen. Gorgeous inside and out, spotless inside, high end furniture and bedding. The mattress felt exactly like mine at home, firm and high end. Slept soundly every night, and I’m an insomniac. Two large bedroom, two king beds, two large bathrooms. Kitchen high end, tops and floors gorgeous. No carpet! Yay! The building itself is immaculate along with the grounds. Lightening fast elevators x 2. Unit is right across from the elevator. Solid thick walls. We never heard anything from neighbors. It’s a quiet, peaceful, well maintained property. There are vending machines and a spotless workout room with high end equipment. Kudos to Renee and Laura for being right there always, just a text away from the moment we checked in until we left. Thank you both for making our stay spectacular. We were even able to rent an extra night at last minute so we could arrive Christmas night. 8 glorious nights! Will definitely be back here. Don’t miss out on this property. You won’t be disappointed. Oh, ice and water dispenser and fabulous coffee pot and pet friendly. Our dog was sooooo happy and relaxed, and he tends to get nervous at times. Also, Publix delivery if you are a member of Instacart, which I am. What a bonus to have groceries delivered.

Just headed home from an impromptu visit to Miramar Beach. We absolutely loved the condo and the location was perfect. Beds were comfy, the kitchen was well-stocked with everything we needed to cook in breakfast and a few lunches. We never waited for an elevator and the pool and beach access were both super easy. If I had read my instructions better, I would have known there was no hair dryer but that was my only surprise. We hope to return again and really enjoyed our stay. We could not ask for better service and communication. Very smooth.

Condos was beautiful and well equipped. Beach was outside front door, two outdoor pools, great parking. We were here in slow season and it was wonderful. Beds were super comfortable and lots of pillows. Weather was cold for the area, but the whole country was cold! We would return to this condo again in a heartbeat.

Spent 2 months in this beautiful, well appointed condo! Beautiful view, clean and stocked with everything you might need. Hubby got sick and the owner directed us to an Urgent care center! Our Bichon loved her home away from home as well. Looking forward to next year!!
