Our family and friends spent the full Christmas 2008 week in this unit. We had a wonderful time!! Ages ranged from 23 to 56, and every person had a lot of fun. The unit was spacious enough, yet very cozy. It is professionally decorated (see pics) and the furnishings are not only beautiful, but very comfortable. We even took our pink Christmas tree, and it looked great. The unit has all the amenities we wanted, including a wine cooler :)
Jade East is in the heart of Destin, convenient to everything. Three in our group flew in on different flights to the Northwest Florida Regional Airport (VPS) in Fort Walton. It took about 20 minutes each way, so that too was very convenient for multiple trips.
The onsite management was exceptional...very attentive and prompt with any request or question. The owner, Derral, is just great. He responded to every communication promptly, thoroughly. He is obviously careful to whom he rents, and that is evident in the good condition of the unit.
You can believe all the wonderful things that have been written about the unit. I just wish I could keep this place a secret, and have it all to myself!
I hope to be able to visit the owner’s other properties in Destin and Panama City sometime. They look amazing!

Just wanted to let you know we are leaving (sadly) tomorrow morning. We enjoyed your Jade East condominium more than I can put into words.
It was a great location with great amenities close by. I think the whole week we drove about 20 miles total! We really enjoyed the Big Kahuna waterpark and the executive golf course at Golf Garden. My son got a real kick out of golfing at night! At 8, he is already an avid golfer and part of the South Texas PGA Little Linkster program, but has never golfed at night. So it was a great experience for him.
The condominium was beautiful and from the balcony this morning, we got to see a dolphin swimming very close to shore. Later when we were out in the water, he was still close by. We experienced big waves on Sun/Mon/Tues due to the tropical storm, but later this week, it had even'd out and the water was amazing. I think there was only one day we weren't on the beach...and that was the day we went to the waterpark.
The ND prop mgmt company was wonderful. The staff was very pleasant and helpful. Makes me want to live here!
I just wanted to say thanks again for a great week! We are sad to leave, but hope to come back again! And we have already decided when we do to try to come back to your condo!

| My son and I just got back from an Amazing trip in Destin! This was his first time to the beach and we loved it. We with were with great friends and the staff and facility could not have been more friendly and professional. We met people from all over who we hope to see again for many years to come. Thank you so much for a wonderful family vacation!! |

I seem to be in a haze this morning. It's so hard to get back into the
swing of things after our relaxing island vacation! I miss having my
morning coffee while watching the beautiful Gulf surf and the dolphins
play.
You were absolutely right that we would love it. We had such fabulous
time! The condo and grounds were beautiful and the staff was pleasant
and courteous. I cannot thank you enough for your generosity in sharing
your condo with our family.
We played hard and slept like babies on the comfy beds. A big storm
came thru on Sunday and stirred up the seaweed and jellyfish, but that
didn't stop us too much. The kids loved having the pool to go to in the
afternoons while the adults just relaxed and got to know some of the
other vacationers. The girls from Mississippi were crazy and the boys
from Ohio State Univ. were fun too. In fact, everyone we met was
friendly, courteous and ready to have a good time.
Our family unanimously voted to come back to your condo again same time
next year if available! |

| We stayed here in September with my family. This is the first vacation I have taken with my parents and brothers since September of 2001. The first day of our last vacation was September 10th. Needless to say, the events of that week cast a dark shadow on our time together. This trip was just what we needed. I had stayed here with my in-laws in April, so I knew how incredibly nice the unit was. My parents and brothers were very impressed with the condo. Not only is it beautiful and tasteful, but also very comfortable. It was just what we needed for a long awaited and much needed get-away together. I would recommend this condo to anyone, anytime. |

| This is the second time we have stayed in this unit this year. We like it so much in April that we booked again and stayed the first week in September. This time we went with my husband's family. This was the first trip we have all taken since September of 2001. The last time we were in Destin together, the world was watching the twin towers crumble. Needless to say, it cast a dark shadow on our trip. This time we were able to really enjoy every minute of our stay. This peaceful and beautiful home really completed our experience. I would recommend it to anyone. |

We Spent a week in Destin and shared this condo with another family and absoutly had a wonderful time. The condo was beautiful to say the least. The (4) kids shared a bedroom and love it. There was plenty of sleeping space.
The master suite was wonderful! We sat up at night and played cards & board games together at the dining table & had plenty of space. Honestly the best we've ever stayed at, on any beach vacation. The pool was great and the beach also had plenty of room to spread out. Thanks for having us in your home! We look foward to visiting you again.

| When you go on vacation, it's nice to feel a little spoiled. This place definitely felt like our own little piece of paradise. We had 3 little ones with us, and the layout of the bedrooms was perfect for us. It was nice to be in a place I love with the people I cherish most. Thanks Mr. Dobbs for sharing your "home away from home" with us. |

| We've been coming to Destin for 10 years and have stayed in many differant condos. This is the best. Great location, great views ( especially the sunsets ) and great people to rent from.We feel as if we've stepped into an Island retreat when we come into the condo. Professionally decorated and wonderfull beds. We would highly recommend this unit, but it won't be for rent in the winter season as we will be there. We have found our winter home in Destin for many more years. |

| THIS UNIT WILL SPOIL YOU!!! We were fortunate enough to stay in this unit in May '06 with members of our daughter's senior class. Our group rented 4 condos at Jade East. All were lovely, but this condo was more than we could have imagined. The Internet photos do not do the furnishing justice. The spaciousness well accomodated our group of 4 adults and 5 students. I can't even fathom a better ocean view than the one you will get from this 6th floor balcony. Just high enough to view the dolphins swimming, but not so high that you can't recognize members of your group on the beach or in the pool. Such wonderful memories were made there -- and the holiday card from the owners at Christmas not only served to brighten a cold winter day, but also made us anxious to return. We can't imagine that we will ever want to stay anywhere else. This may be the start of a family tradition. Thank you for sharing this condo with us. The Todd Mays Family. |
