The condo was nice and very clean. Large balcony with a view of the beach and surrounding areas of Sandestin. Would definitely stay here again.

We'd love to have you back any time, Rosanna! We're glad you enjoyed the condo and the spacious balcony. It has such a wonderful view! We know you'll look forward to seeing it again!
Very nice (and clean) place to stay! Only issue was that there was an elevator out the entire time we were there and the property was quite busy and the only elevator that worked was too busy- not the fault of the owners of this unit but put a bit of a damper on our trip!

You're so right that during peak travel season that the elevators get a little hectic, Kathleen! We hate you were inconvenienced, but we're glad you enjoyed the place overall. We hope you were comfortable and enjoyed all of the accommodations!
My overall experience was excellent!! This was our first family vacation and my son was soooo excited with how nice this was. It was exactly as pictured and I was so afraid that it wouldn’t be. The location was great! Right by the beach and plenty of food restaurants and shopping!

This was my third trip to the Luau complex. Like each trip before, I consider it a hidden gem. I will certainly be considering this facility first on any future visits to the beaches in this area.

We are thrilled to hear you had such a fantastic vacation experience! Thanks for staying and we look forward to hosting you again.
The view of the properties and the ocean from this condo is so pretty! It’s on the 10th floor. Even though the master bedroom and bath are small, the king bed was really comfortable! We enjoyed the privacy of this condo. Destin is a wonderful, upscale vacation destination… lots of shopping and restaurants to choose from!! This condo development is very nice!!

We have stayed in the condo before and loved it! We booked again. Same great experience.
This is such a wonderful condo for a small family. Always clean, close to the beach and other family activities. The pool is excellent. Will come again.

Mollie, we are so happy to hear that this home away from home met all your needs! It sounds like you were able to enjoy the Florida weather with your family which is what we love to see! Thank you so much for your review and for choosing VRBO. We look forward to your return!
Property was as advertised. The beach was closer than expected and access was simple. The beach bar/restaurant was also a plus. The area is located close to restaurants, golf courses and shopping.....

Wow, sounds like you had everything you needed for a great trip, John! We are pleased the rental met your expectations and that you enjoyed the beach and all the local hot spots. Thank you for taking the time to write us a review and for using MVH. We hope to see you again on your next trip to the Gulf!
Nice condo in great location. Minutes close to beach. Beach close to condo was really packed. Definitely get there early for a good spot close to the shore. The shower head was not working , however the property manager we called maintenance team to fix it on time. They also said coffee and tea was provided but there was none in stock. The place was clean and bed is comfy. It even comes with beach chairs and umbrella. Thank you for letting us stay. We will recommend the place to others.

Thank you so much for taking the time to leave us feedback, Katrina. We are so pleased you enjoyed your stay! It sounds like you got a lot of beach time which is great to hear. We will let the owners know about the tea/coffee situation. We hope you'll choose MVH again for future travel. Until your next trip, be well!
This was an awesome getaway for my husband and I! We loved this place because it was close enough to the beach to walk, and close enough to lots of things to do in town! It’s clean and comfortable! We would definitely stay again. We had a broken coffee pot, so we let the managers know and we had a brand new one in a few hours! Great customer service!!

Thank you, Regina! We're so happy to know that you would stay again! That's the sign of a good vacation. We hope your next vacation is sooner than later...the beach is waiting...
A map of the property would have been helpful. The resort is so large and offers so many things to do that we didn’t know about till it was time to leave.
The location was perfect. The condo was everything we could have wanted. We wanted to social distance while still be able to go to the beach. The kitchen had everything we needed to not have to eat out once. Just wish we could have stayed here until the crisis was over. His place is paradise.
