Property was as listed, very nice, clean, updated and spacious. The parking lot is gated with code access only which is nice. The only thing that we did not like is that you cannot bring any type of sun shade to put up of your own. You have to rent umbrellas from the property. The umbrellas that they have are lining the entire beachline touching each other and on top of other beachgoers. If you are not on the front line near the water, you cannot see the beach and you have to squeeze through other people and their umbrellas just to get to the water. The company that they use I’m assuming to do the rentals on the beach were very rude and had zero customer service skills. This unit did have several beach chairs, boogie boards, and floats in the unit that you could use which was nice. The pool was not lit up at night like the other resorts next to us. Overall we enjoyed the stay at this unit minus the beach issue.

Spring Break 2020

Unit 805 was fabulous, clean and well maintained with a fantastic beach view. Security was polite and helpful upon check in and the welcome package provided helpful information. We left our unit as we found it as we hope to be repeat guests. Thanks for the hospitality.

Awesome!

This room is amazing! Beautifully decorated! Plenty of room for two families of four. Loved being on the ground floor. One of the best condos we've ever stayed in. Only complaint was the queen mattress in the middle guest room was sneaky & a little uncomfortable other than that this room was completely awesome!!!

We loved the location. The view of the gulf was fantastic! We will look at booking at as in. Very pleased! The condo was very clean. The only comment I had was that the master shower had mold in the grout. The ceiling in shower appeared to have water leakage from above.

Very clean and staff was very friendly

We enjoyed our stay in unit #805. The unit was very clean and decorated beautifully. Then only problem with the unit was on the second day a note was on door from maintenance with instructions not to use left sink in master bathroom because of leak. Luckily it was a double sink counter so we could use the other side. Other than that everything was perfect. The whole building area was very clean, including the pool and restroom area. We would definitely stay again and recommend to others.

Nice, clean property.

Condo was clean and comfortable. Water dispenser on the refrigerator did not work. Questioned if homeowner was trying to save water? Instructions for the television need clarity for use. Add on fees for using Vacasa were surprising. We will probably not come down to Destin again.

Update

I had previously left a review, upset that the dryer in our unit was broken the entire stay. Management stated that ordering the part had been done and left the issue at that. I was not satisfied with this as a response. After several calls I was finally given a resolution that matched how difficult this made the trip. While it didn’t change the stress caused by not having a dryer, I felt heard. We were issued a partial refund. I wanted a knowledgement that the booking would not have been made without a dryer in the unit.
