Loved this place!Would stay here again.Having access to the town and the beach was great.The back sliding door was a little janky, and my girlfriend could barely get it open or closed, The TV had a horizontal mark across the entire bottom portion of the screen, but I won't take any stars away for those minor inconveniences. There was a loose stair plank (bottom plank in the top flight to the front door) I noticed as we were packing up.) I would just reccomend they get looked at.Access to the beach was great, four-five minute walk until you are in water, most of which is sand. Loved the privacy of the second story balcony.Clean house, clean shower, nice big fridge. Loved the island in the middle to help prepare food. There were cutting boards, pots and pans, knives. I did forget paper towels, they provided 5 dish rags that helped there. One roll of paper towels included under the sink would have been nice. Older mattress that moves when you move. I ended up sleeping on the couch the final night to not keep my girlfriend awake all night with my toss and turns.OVERALLGreat spot for a get away with quick access to the beach, and a nice balcony where you can see and hear the waves.

Great condo! The unit was clean, comfortable, and met all our needs. We loved the extended balcony, and the beach was just steps away. Check-in was a breeze, and the staff was super helpful. We definitely recommend it to others and will stay again!

This was our first time in destin! The condo was in a great area and exactly what I was looking for. Few steps to the beach, overlooking the beach too. Place was nice and clean. Bed was comfortable and had everything you needed in the kitchen! Great for a family with kids to stay. They had a place right in front of your place for the kids to play outside in the sand! Overall I would come back and stay here.

Review of unit 2118..home away from home

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We really enjoyed our stay. This particular unit was decorated to create a cozy homely feel. We usually stay in a highrise but there was something relaxing to staying in what felt more like a beach home. Forewarn! No elevators so be ready to get your steps in other than that it was great. Very clean.

Unsatisfied customer and horrible customer service

Rating Details: The property manager was very unhelpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: First day we got there we waited over 2 hours to get into the condo due to front desk lady Danielle not letting us know after talking several times to her. It was raining whole time First day soaking wet from rain went back to office and ask to speak to manager Francis Check the status and notice room was ready hours ago and got us in room right away Danielle was rude and unprofessional to my wife and I then Friday our building had no running water for over 8 hours had to use bottle water bought from store to fill up to use bathroom as no one had an answer to what going on call 230 am in morning speak to someone front gate security guard was rude and said it will get fixed whenever they can and hung up. I been traveling and vacationing for over 40 years worse vacation ever. I will never come back to this place as rudeness of employees and horrible experience we had for our anniversary.Also we had to walk across the street to main condo area to get fresh linden and towels and bring your own toilet paper and paper towels as they don't provide any just 1 roll of toilet paper for staying 5 days and 6 nights
Response from VrboOwner on 7 July 2025
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We sincerely apologize for the issues you encountered during your stay — especially during what should have been a special anniversary trip. Your concerns about the delayed check-in, communication breakdown, lack of running water, and interactions with staff are taken seriously. That is not the experience we strive to provide our guests. We will be reviewing this incident with our team to ensure that these matters are addressed and improvements are made. We also understand your frustration regarding the limited starter supplies and apologize if this was not communicated clearly before arrival. While our policy is to provide initial items to get guests started, we recognize this may fall short for longer stays and are evaluating ways to better meet guest expectations. We regret that your visit did not meet the standards you deserve and truly appreciate your feedback. If you would like to speak further about your stay, please feel free to contact management directly.

Immaculate, Updated, Beach View Destin Condo

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was somewhat unhappy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We loved our unit! The updated bathroom was perfect! Deck is amazing. Excellent AC for the hot summers. Kitchen had everything needed to prepare a meal there. Fabulous view of the beach also. Only downside was nothing to do with unit. It was the constant barrage of helicopter tours overhead every 4 mins and boat tours not far off shore. Destin needs to regulate this.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Great place to spend vacation. Easy access to the beach, which is priority to us. The unit was clean and everything in working order. Back deck is heaven! The sleeper sofa needs to be replaced. It was ok for us because 3 yr old slept on it but it wouldn’t be comfortable for adults at all. Loved that the beach is private. Very relaxing! We got there at 5:00 a.m. and were told to come the next day at 10:00 to check in. We woke up at 9:45 a.m. and were getting dressed. Office called at 10:02 and said “you were supposed to be here at 10 and it’s after 10”. 🤣🤣 I am a rule follower but dang!🙈

The only downside was maintenance -for 8 days we had to park significantly away from the unit for pavement resealing and building painting.
