Had a great time at this location. Not far from beach which was nice for lugging multiple kids beach bags with. Only complaint is that house needs an extra roll of toilet paper for upstairs and downstairs.

We booked last minute with just our family this year. This was great. Put 3 teenage boys upstairs to have their own space. Loved having 2 balconies facing the ocean and pool. Cooked a few meals there and all breakfasts and lunches there because beach access was so close!

We couldn't have been happier with this Condo. The location is perfect for a relaxing beach getaway! Right across the road you have access to the beach with your own chairs & umbrellas already set up for you each day. Pompano Joe's is also right across the road with great food and drinks to bring out to your beach chairs! Badass Coffee is about a 15 minute walk and is the PERFECT way to start each morning. The double balconies at the unit provide the best views each morning & evening. We got great use out of the pool area in the evenings as well. The Condo is nice, it was pretty clean and everything was in working order other than slightly low water pressure in the upstairs shower. The only thing we would have liked is a golf cart to go with the unit, but we know now for next time that the golf cart rental is a must! We will certainly be back!

Perfect location when you have little kids
by Kristen W
★★★★★ 5 of 5
We stayed in this townhouse with an 8, 6, and 4 year old for 2 weeks. We loved the family room area upstairs so that we could keep the kids occupied without the neighbors below us to hear our kids stomp or run around. The balconies have a fantastic view of the ocean (few minutes' walk) and overlook the pool, which is a 30 second walk down the stairs. We were very happy with the overall proximity to the beach, since we had lots of stuff to carry plus 3 little kids. Pompano Joe's restaurant and the check-in for activities (parasailing, banana boat, jetski) was directly across the street, which was very handy for families. Especially since most of the time, you have to reserve your spot early at Pompano Joe's for dinner (it gets super crowded) and it's so easy to run across the street and put your name in, then go back to the pool and hang out for an hour or two until your table is ready. Overall the townhouse was clean, quiet, and accurately represented on the listing. We would stay here again.

Heated pool was much appreciated since part of our stay here saw temps near freezing—since pool is kept above 80 degrees, we could enjoy the nice grounds and Gulf no matter the weather

This was absolutely everything we expected! Perfect location the condo was clean and loved all the space we had. One item I would recommend adding is a crock pot! I wished I had brought mine. I love to throw in dinner at lunch break. But I really hope to return to this very unit! Newman Dailey was sooo easy and family oriented to stay in touch with and the rental office is super close to this property. Your home gave us an amazing time away as a family! Thank you!

Overall our stay was fantastic. The only issue we had was light bulbs missing. One was missing in the master bedroom, both balconies didn't have light bulbs and the master bath was missing a bulb. The view was great and it was a very clean place. We loved every minute of the stay.

I literally feel like Dawn saved us from a nightmare! We originally booked a condo through someone else and lets just say that it was inhabitable. I found Newman-Dailey and Dawn had us squared away within an hour or so of our initial conversation. But, inside of that hour I'd viewed 3-4 properties went over rates etc etc etc. She went OVER & beyond all that I could've asked for especially in an emergency situation. Ontop of the excellent service, the property was BEAUTIFUL and the location was perfect. We really could not be any more pleased. We will definitely be back to utilize more of thier properties.

11B has a great view from both balconies. The furnishings are nice, and the kitchen well stocked with everything you need, minus food of course). Two bedrooms, each with their own bathrooms made this a great place for my wife and I, along with another couple to have plenty of space. The large upstairs living room and downstairs dining room gave us great spots to hang out together. Proximity to the beach was a big plus, along with Pompano Joe’s restaurant right across the street. We will be back!

Great Vacation

★★★★★ 5 of 5
This was our first time with you and we absolutely loved it the condo 11-b was very clean and spacious. We loved the layout of it even though you had to do stairs to get there, we wouldn't stay on the second floor again only for the reason our daughter has a handicap and stairs are not great for her- don't get me
wrong we loved it!! We had stayed in the Destin harbor for 6 years at a friends condo while our family and friends were with or around the Blue Surf area and it was so much nicer being right there within walking distance of the beach and all our friends. Will definitely stay at Blue Surf again - no question just not in any of the second floor condos. Thank you so much.
***I think the second floor bedroom is missing a remote my daughter couldn't get the tv to change channels I think it
Was missing the cable remote but by the time she went to bed she didn't care about the tv anyway! GREAT COMPANY AND BEST DESTIN TRIP YET !!!

Blue Surf 11B
by Chris OH
★★★★★ 5 of 5
Enjoyed my stay for the second time at BlueSurf 11B. great view, and location to the beach. the entire week was great. The whole unit has been updated since the last time I stayed in it! this experience was even better than the last. The only thing that I think needs to be improved is the WiFi, the connection is slow and the connection drops too frequently requiring me to re-connect. This is not something that will deter me from staying again in the future though.

Blue Surf 11B
by Mitsy FL
★★★★★ 5 of 5
My "Sister" vacation was wonderful. The townhouse was exactly what was needed, very spacious and comfortable. However it is in need of some repairs. The faucet in the upstairs bathtub did not work and therefore no hot water. The doors were hard to lock, if we could lock them. The screens need to be replaced as well if you want to keep the doors open and bugs out. I also feel more supplies should be provided for the amount of money spent for four nights.
I rate the unit a 4 star because of the above comments.

L'appartement est conforme à l'annonce. Les lits sont confortables. Il y a notre disposition tout se qui faut pour cuisiner, ainsi que des draps, couvertures, oreillers et des serviettes. La vue du balcon est vraiment sympa. La mer n'est qu'à 700 mètres à pied. Idéal pour se baigner lorsqu'on rentre de visite. Le propriétaire est très accueillant et chaleur. Il est resté à notre disponibilité en cas de problèmes et a été très arrangeant. De plus, il répond très rapidement aux messages. Je vous conseille cet appartement pour vos vacances. La ville d'à côté, Trogir, est très jolie et fait parti du patrimoine de l'UNESCO.

Comfortable, well equipped house. Lovely surroundings and interesting things to see and do in the vicinity. Would've been even better if weather had not been so unseasonal but hey! This is Scotland after all. One suggestion: a cafetière or some sort of coffee maker - we forgot ours and had to survive on instant.

Great location across the beach! Loved 11B Unit
by Nina-Texas Mom
★★★★★ 5 of 5
We stayed in unit 11B & the pictures online due this place no justice! This unit was very clean & had literally everything we needed, plus extras. Downstairs is the kitchen & dining, very spacious equipped with a flat tv and a stereo to listen to . The bedroom downstairs has a queen size bed w/balcony facing the pool and the beach. The upstairs is the living room, equipped with another flat tv and it had extra Dvd's to watch, there were also board games & puzzles for our use, there was also the second balcony to a beautiful view to the beach. This unit literally felt like a second home, they even had extra beach toys for our use! Both rooms had tv's w/dvd players and the restrooms were very clean & updated. They also provided extra blankets located in each bedroom closets. I love the fact that we used a code for the front door entrance, instead of a key or card, it was so convient. This was our first time booking a townhouse and our first with Newman-Dailey and I'm so bless that my experience with both were nothing but wonderful. I'm definitely a customer for life =)

This was our ninth winter at Blue Surf, Unit 11B. As usual, everything was great. We loved the new walk-in shower, the new lighting system in the kitchen and the many other improvements that have been done over the past couple of years. The location for us is ideal. Right across the street from the beach, unobstructed view and within walking distance of some local restaurants. This really is our home away from home.

We have stayed in this unit for the past eight winters. Newman-Dailey really look after us. One phone call to them and they respond quickly. We love the location, the walking trail/bicycle path and use it daily. Being close to Pompano Joe's is very convenient. We're golfers so having so many courses in the immediate vicinity is a big plus.

We choose our condo rental based on the beach and this location was perfect! We were able to rent bikes for the week and only took our car out in the evenings. If you aren't looking for luxury, but still want a place that feels like home, this is it! Very welcoming atmosphere and peaceful surroundings.

We had a wonderful time. Just a note about cleaning - the couch and chair upstairs probably needs to be cleaned (there were alot of stains that could be removed if steamed cleaned) and the remote control was missing from the upstairs den.
We would definitely stay there again and are planning on making a reservation in this same unit for next year. We loved it!!!

Amazing Time in Destin!
★★★★★ 5 of 5
I want to THANK YOU so very much for allowing us to rent your condo! We had such an amazing time in Destin. This condo was more than accommodating for my family and the location was perfect. Although, I didn't rest much while we were there (up before 8 AM and late to bed every night), it was a much needed getaway. We loved it so much that we are already planning another trip there! The beaches were beautiful and there was so much to do! My husband and I are also discussing the possibility of purchasing a condo there as well. I am grateful for the memories that you made happen.

Our place was lovely with everything we needed... except for a big 12 inch skillet. Having the water toys was very nice since we didn't bring any. The grounds were immaculate as was our condo. The place next door was really shabby but we understood later that there was a problem with the owners. The view from both balconies was great. On the negative side... I never could get the internet to connect. I called & reported it & they even sent a man out but it didn't help. All in all, it was a wonderful family trip & we would definitely stay there again.

This was our 3rd time at Blue Surf. The past two
times we stayed in the same unit, but this time
we were in a different unit 11B. The outside
of the unit next to ours was looking pretty shaby.
The carpeting in our unit is raveling at the seams.
We had to call housekeeping to clean some white
substance that had been spilled on the kitchen
chair and carpeting. It never did come off the carpeting. The frames around the sliding glass doors were all rusted. It just wasn't as nice as the last unit we stayed in the past years.
