Great location

The rooms were clean and the bed was very comfortable. The bed in couch not so much..... easy access to the beach and the resort was awesome. We had a problem with our toilet and they sent someone out the next day. Wish they had a way to pick up the towels and wash them for us. Overall great stay👌🏼

Very comfortable stay

Enjoyed the room, and stay, very comfortable bed, and couch, would definitely stay here again. Complaints would be, not any luggage carts available, little frig really serves no purpose, needs a normal size. Shower did have mold in the grout, and on shower curtain.

Mother daughter trip

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Our location was great the amenities are so nice and convenient. Our condo was nice and clean had what we needed. The bathroom door had issues the whole time we were there and just want someone to know the maintenance of it isn’t fixing it it doesn’t stay closed unless you really slam it. The balcony was disappointing because although we can see the beach at a distance all you hear is the air conditioners that run the entire place so it is very loud and not relaxing to sit out as I know this can’t be helped I think others should know it’s not a balcony to sit and relax. Over all we were happy with the place and the area was so nice friendly staff and the shuttle was nice

Definitely coming back!

This room is adorable! My husband, toddler and I stayed here for 5 days. Reservations were seamless, directions to room, codes, parking... all a breeze. The kitchenette has glasses, basic silverware, bowls and plates. There were plenty of bath towels and wash cloths. The closet was stocked with extra pillows, blankets, sheets, 2 beach chairs and a beach umbrella. The entire resort is beautiful. The restaurant on the resort has a great view and right on the beach. I would absolutely stay here again, and recommend this place to anyone.

Perfect for our stay

We enjoyed our stay! It was perfect for just the two of us. Bed was super comfy! The kitchen had the essentials for us to be able to keep plenty to eat, reheat food, and a coffee pot! Pool was nice! Walk to the beach was easy and nice! All of the resort amenities beach and bay side were great. I do wish that small touches like salt/pepper, sugar/Splenda for coffee were provided but that’s just something I’ve gotten spoiled to with all of our Airbnb stays and luckily the dollar general was just around the corner when I needed it! Suggestion— you HAVE to try maple street biscuit company you don’t even have to go out onto the main road to get to it and it was seriously fantastic!!

Perfectly remodeled with a Beautiful view

This was the perfect stay for a girls getaway beach trip. I was pleasantly surprised when we arrived as you could immediately tell the room had been updated and had new features when compared to the photos online that have not been updated. Very nice and modern. The ocean view from the balcony is beautiful and enjoyed watching sunrise every morning with coffee. We loved that they even supplied 2 beach chairs and an umbrella to use which helped with having to pack less to bring. They also supplied a broom and vacuum which tremendously helped with cleaning up sand when returning from the beach. Everything was clean and king size bed was comfy and plenty of room. Bed and bathroom linens were plenty and of good quality.We had no issues during our stay. I will definitely be staying here again when I get the chance to return.

Review

I thought the room was nice, and it was clean. I wish the balcony was larger, it is very small. The walk to the beach isn’t so bad if you aren’t carrying anything, but if you have to carry more than one thing, it is pretty rough. There are several sets of steps you have to go down. They were doing construction for two whole days while we were there, and it was very loud and distracting. I gave this property 3 stars. Not bad, just not the greatest.

Best Location!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Greatest location and ultra close proximity to Miramar Beach.Our condo was a studio, and it served its purpose for our trip. Sure, it would’ve been nice if the unit had a clothes washer and dryer and dishwasher, but we still enjoyed it. The association of the condo complex needs to get 21st century clothes washers and dryers (with credit card readers) at the parking level for all guests who stay in condos like ours without them.The Luau Condos have an exceptionally beautiful pool that rivals many hotels. And there’s also a concession area for cocktails on the patio at the pool! What a bonus. The my vacation Haven management team was so kind to us and so attentive and responsive. We would definitely book a condo at the Luau condo complexes again!Finally, it was a good value for the five evenings we stayed, and we ended up adding a sixth evening because we enjoyed it so much.

Nice get-away

The condo is in a perfect location, beautiful view, a great pool, and not a long walk to the beach. My only complaint is there's no information about the resort itself where you are staying. It would have been nice to have a map of the resort in the room. There's one on the 1st floor bulletin board but we didn't find it until the last day. There's no information regarding the shuttle or bus passes left in the room for you to use. We had no idea why we needed them, where the pick-up location was, or the difference between the 2 passes. Information on the back of the door or laying on the table would have been very helpful. When I called the property manager with these questions, the guy who answered didn't know anything about the resort and could not answer my questions. I was not impressed with the management.
