Kitchen was not stocked at all. No working coffee maker, we had to purchase one. Issues with lights in spare room and nobody showed up to fix. The furniture is so dirty we didn't even want to sit on it. The entire place needs a scrub down. The worst was we requested a late check out on 1/29/26 and they charged me and said no problem. Than I made a complaint about the lights on the 2nd day of our vacation they then told us we couldn't have the late check out because the next guess were arriving early. That is dirty! Our party was not happy. This place should not even be on the Vrbo website. So disappointed! This is the first time we have had such a bad experience with Vrbo. Someone needs to make some changes

Beach view is wonderful! Cleanliness is not that great. Dusty on some furnitures. No one reported about the dryer making an awful noise. I had to find the right time to dry clothes. I didn’t want the guests next door to complain about the noise. Not enough silverware to use. I literally washed them by hands, so we would have clean ones for the next meal. No crab crackers, so we did not cook crabs as we normally would. I would give this place 3 stars.
This table is so rusty and old. I should have brought a table cover, so we can enjoy our morning coffee without looking at this ugly table.

The condo was clean with mostly everything it needed in the kitchen. The patio furniture could be rusted, we were not able to use the table due to paint chipping off. I think they may need to add a dehumidifier-we had the fire alarm chipping at as during the night. Not sure if it was to humid in the condo but after e turned in the bathroom fans it stopped. We would definitely come bank and stay! Great experience for our first time in Destin!!

Absolutely LoVed this property!

Very family oriented. Very friendly. Staff were accommodating. And being able to text management with any issues while going about our day, so that we were able to get resolved immediately without having to pause our vacation was handy! People around the pool have been going there for 30 years! I will be renting two units next time for me and my family and my girlfriend and hers. We left the husbands at home this Spring Break. They definitely missed out!

Dirty room needed maintenance work

Backdoor doesn't shut and lock. All kinds of wall marks, floor and a/c intake were dirty. Lights in kitchen switch dangerous. Had to jiggle it to come on. Wallpaper torn in several places. Bathroom had no light in shower to to see to bath. Music played from other apartments late. Security came to our door to tell us not to put our towels on the rail. It was on the back of chair , he couldn't tell from ground. Won't go back there ..
