We stayed at South Bay Unit 43. We rented from Kim Lang see website. http://www.fwbdestincondos.com/ I could not have asked for an easier rentaL Rates were great . Cheaper than a hotel. The deposit return within the week of departure. The home clean. Bedrooms on the 1st. Living room and kitchen on the 2nd floor. This was different, but it... more

The management company people charged me $187 for an extra day without my authorization and with out so much as a notification. The also alleged we trashed the place.

We have stayed here for several years. This will be our last visit here. The new management is Rude, and dishonest. The security is almost non existent.

We have vacationed here for years and let me say, it is always wonderful. The condos are great and the private beach is terrific. There is a lake for fishing, 2 swimming pools,tennis courts, and the price is very reasonable. Southbay is also family friendly, and I know that anyone who vacations here will be pleased. more
