It is very disheartening to see a review like this when staff and owners work tirelessly to make stays enjoyable for everyone. This vacation home has beautiful beach views. This guest unfortunately could not be pleased. They did have an unfortunate problem, and we promptly addressed and compensated this guest. I do hope in the future they will know the beauty in Destin and find happiness in the wonderful restaurants, shopping, golf, fishing, and outside activities we have in the area.
