Kitchen has the necessary utensils one needs; adequate bath towels. Cons: bed was on the firm-side; felt like I was sleeping on the floor. Couch looked & felt worn out. Not a deal-breaker for us but considering this is a Racquet Club complex we expected Tennis Channel to be available, especially since BNP Paribas was on that week.

Nice facilities - but...

Rating Details: The property manager was adequately helpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The unit was exactly as described. Great view! Bed was super comfortable! Upon arrival the unit was pretty clean. Day 2 we had several uninvited guests - not something I am accustomed to at home. We were inundated with roaches 😕 (Not palmetto bugs, roaches!). Day 4 we left (2 days early). I advised the staff as I checked out. Now apologies, No, "How can we make it better", etc. I have tried multiple times to contact someone at the facility & that didn't accomplish a thing. Askedo for info to contact owners. Nothing.I do have multiple photos. The travel insurance won't cover the early departure either. Disappointed to say the least.

Response from VrboOwner on 1 July 2023
Hello Donna, We would like to once again extend our apologies for the issues you experienced during your stay. Each month we have Florida Pest Control spray all of our units to minimize pests that may hitchhike with luggage or from other pest travel. Unfortunately, because pest control had just come out the day the issue was reported pest control would not return until the scheduled date which was in a few days from the reported issue. It is a top priority for HSRC to make sure all concerns are addressed as swiftly as possible and sometimes an issue can take more than a day to resolve. The pest issue has now been completely resolved. It ended up being an issue with a different unit. Also, as of late 2022, this condo boasts brand new living room furnishings, including a new modern sofa. We hope you will consider visiting us again! We do understand your frustration with travel insurance but to our dismay, we can not overrule their policies. We did check with our staff about the customer service that was provided at the time of check out and the staff member said in the frustration of the moment it was stated by the person checking out that they "were over the stay" and then the guest walked off from the front desk. All team members are required to make sure that any customer service issues remain de-escalated and reported to management for a further resolution for the guest. We are aware that after the initial situation occurred the general manager was sent an email but by that time no further monetary refund could be offered. We do wish this matter could have worked out differently and we will look for better resolutions to tackle situations that may arise like this in the future.

Check-in Review and Suggestion

Rating Details: The property manager was somewhat unhelpful. 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: The check-in process is UNPLEASANT! I have been coming to HSaR for over 20 years and checking in has become very unfriendly in the last few years. I called about 11:30am to see if our unit was ready early. The man told me that there was no way he could check to see but sometimes guests are allowed to check in after 1pm if the unit is ready. So we arrive at 1:30 to find that the office is closed until 2pm for a meeting which he neglected to tell us about. We decide to wait the 30 minutes... only staff doesn't return until 3:30 and no one answers the number we were instructed to call. Customer service seems to be the least important factor. Many other vacation management companies are willing to contact the incoming guests with a simple text or email when/if their unit becomes available earlier than 4pm. It could a win/win situation if you would do that. Guests would feel special and be excited. I am quite sure that I am not the only person "wasting time" in Destin waiting to check in. And it would alleviate the rush at 4pm when everyone is trying to check-in. I don't see any down-side to doing this. Some management companies even request the clean-up company to try to complete the units with bookings first so that they can charge the guests 1/2 a night if the unit is available and the customer check-in is before 12 noon. That is "free money" for you. the unit is ready and sitting there empty. Why not capitalize on it! Put a clause in the rental contract "Please do not call and request your unit early. IF it is ready, we will notify you and offer early check-in for an additional fee of half of a one-night fee."
Response from VrboOwner on 1 July 2023
Thank you for reviewing our property. We hate to hear that you had a very unpleasant experience at check-in but hope the remainder of your stay was exceptional. We do not have meetings often and will keep your suggestions in mind for the future. The person you spoke to definitely should have informed you about the meeting and we apologize for that. Come back and see us again and we promise to not disappoint you!
