Rating Details: The property manager was adequately helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. 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: I had a wonderful stay at this condo — the space was beautiful, spotless, and the views were truly breathtaking. I would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing getaway in Destin.I do want to gently share one part of my experience. While the complex staff were always polite, there were moments when I felt a bit unseen unless I initiated the interaction. And this pertained to one employee in particular, a lady w/ brown hair. As an African American woman, it’s a feeling I’ve encountered before, and it was present here at times. I’m sharing this with care — not as a criticism of the condo, but simply as an honest reflection of how the environment felt to me. There was another staff member I interacted w/ often, I believe her name is Lisa, and she was friendly including a maintence guy who serviced my room my first day there to adjust the water heater temp. Overall, the condo itself was exceptional, and I’m truly grateful for my stay

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We stay here every year, prices have definitely increased so our stay was a lot shorter. The unit we stayed in seemed dated. We didn't have enough toilet paper so had to use our own. Washer was awful, very noisy and sounded like it was on it's last leg. The couch was dirty with black hair in it. I took a picture and it looked worn. There was a stained pillow on the couch and the rugg looked worn. One night I walked out on the balcony and almost slipped, luckily I noticed that there was some sort of red liquid on the railing and the tile. I notified the management and they sent someone to clean it, however, the balcony railing was still dirty. It kinda looked like someone above through a drink over their railing and it fell down on ours or someone was sick and puked! Anyway, I hate to give bad reviews as we absolutely love this place and want to purchase a unit for ourselves one day, but I will not be reserving this one again. Thanks and have a great day. We plan to come back in September or October for a longer, cheaper time...we will see which unit we choose. Hopefully the owners will care enough to make it right with us as we paid a lot of money for only 4 days, three nights. We love Destin and plan to make it our home one day!
