First time in Destin!

The property was exactly like the listing. It was clean, in a great neighborhood and location. Very relaxing, peaceful and quiet. We had a great time, there was more we wanted to do but there just is not enough time. I would recommend your accommodations to anyone!

The overall accessibility, from the ocean to shopping and entertainment, nice neighborhood. The stairs were rough but only because of a bad knee. The entertainment room had a musty smell and didn't cool down well along with a broken frame to the pull out bed but it worked out well as everyone slept on floors 2 and 3 just fine. Would definitely stay again!

Leaving a 1-star review strictly because of our experience with the owners and how the situation was handled. Be aware parking is limited to ONE vehicle for this unit. The listing states one numbered spot is guaranteed, but there were no available visitor or overflow parking areas for a second vehicle. Its misleading wording on listing. I wish this had been clearer before booking.The rental COULD be top-of-the-line, but several areas need cleaning and maintenance attention and broken items.Our biggest issue was when the electronic door lock failed. The garage keypad was also broken, there was no readily available backup key, and our belongings and vehicle keys were trapped inside. Exactly 2 hours after our initial message to the owner, the locksmith arrived. Unable to access the door, he ultimately had to climb onto his truck and then onto the balcony to enter through the balcony door.I understand electronic locks can fail. Things happen. What was disappointing was having no readily available backup method of entry. Property management, the locksmith, and VRBO were top-notch in helping us during the situation. Unfortunately, our overall experience with the rental and our interactions with the owners afterward are the reasons for my 1-star rating.

Hi Candace, While we anticipated this poor review based on your voicing that you would do so if we did not provide a refund, we are very disappointed. You had requested to cancel prior to arrival, which we declined, & informed you you'd need travel insurance if a refund was a requirement. We also inform guests prior to arrival in our listing, booking message, and house rules that we have one parking space-this is very transparent & not something that we can change. During your stay you admitted that your group experienced the door lock flashing red at you, which you ignored until the battery died. We had a team member there to assist within 20 minutes (very early in the morning) and a locksmith within 30. Your formal request to stay your entire trip, have a full refund, along with asking us to pay for your charter that you chose to skip was one of the most wild requests we've ever had. We went above & beyond to assist you, and our team members were not treated with respect during that time. We would highly recommend reading a listing before booking to know the actual details of a property for any future travels. We would not choose to host your group again.

We had an overall enjoyable stay at the condo, especially thanks to its fantastic location. The space was comfortable and worked well for two couples. There were a few areas that could be improved. The kitchen was very understocked, and unfortunately neither ice maker was functioning during our stay, no tea pitchers, toaster did not work (host replaced toaster quickly). We also would have appreciated having extra blankets available. The game room had a noticeable odor, which might be helped with better ventilation. Parking was a bit challenging, particularly with a larger vehicle, as the spaces are quite tight. While there is clear parking restrictions posted, they didn’t appear to be consistently enforced. Additionally, some exterior areas of the community could use maintenance, including pressure washing and attention to a nearby fence that seems to be in disrepair. On a positive note, the host was responsive and attentive when contacted, which we appreciated. With a few updates and improvements, this could be an even better place to stay.

Nice family spot for vacation getaway

The place was perfect for what we needed. We truly enjoyed our stay. Everything was nice and clean with plenty of space for our family of 5 (2 adults and 3 teenagers). The photos was exactly what we expected to see with a 5 minute walk to the beach. Mathew and Sarah were awesome with communication and answered any questions we had. Thank you!

Dest Zen is the perfect location in Destin assessable to everything you want to do while you visit!

The townhome is extremely clean!!!!! In the closets, underneath beds, no corner is forgotten, allowing you to feel very comfortable. The space is ample,!providing guests with multiple places to sleep where no area would feel overcrowded. The bbq is a wonderful way to spend the afternoons returning from the beautiful private beach just down the road while you fish off the dock taking in the view. Publix supermarket is about a 1-2 min drive along with several other options for dining. You are also close to Destin Harbor where many of Destin’s water sports and other excursions are offered. The neighborhood is safe and beautifully landscaped. I would definitely stay here again!!!!!

Very cozy yet versatile

We were on vacation in south Florida and on the spur of the moment decided to drive up to Destin to hang out at some of our favorite places for a few days. We looked online for a place and finally settled on this one. We were absolutely delighted with the entire process. The request, purchase, approval, and authorization process operated at near real time. Very efficient! We were thrilled with the location: close to our stomping grounds but secluded enough to be quiet when we needed some rest. Every possible accessory and accoutrement necessary for a fun evening on location were available. Want a waffle? Waffle maker. Fresh orange juice? Juicer. Totally convenient. The rooms upstairs were very nice. The washer and dryer are on the first level so they could run while we slept. Cannot recommend it enough. We will very definitely be coming back in the future. Thanks guys!

Great Place

'dest-Zen was awesome. The owners nailed everything. The house is beautifully decorated and very clean. Everything seemed to be explained well and they answered any questions we had. Having access to the beach a short walk away was perfect. We used it a lot. Also were able to catch a water taxi to anywhere in the Harbor. Highly recommend 'dest-Zen!
