Smuk 3-plan 4 BR Bayview Villa - Destin, Florida

I'm so sorry John didn't know there was a North (Bayside) and South (Beachside) area of the Resort. It is explained in detail on the two websites I subscribe to ie the "Tram/Shuttle takes you South to the beach which is less than a mile away" etc I will make it infinitely clear in future communications with Guest

I very much appreciate Steve's 5 star review. In response to the third floor temp Destin area is seeing unprecedented hot summer months. I am in the process of securing a portable AC to help fix the problem

I appreciate Sara's views. I do have a support staff for emergencies ie; heating, air conditioning, plumbing safety etc. I have no way of knowing when and where the two propane tanks I provide are going to be depleted because they don't have gauges on them. There are 2-3 refill places within 1 mile of my home which my guest would be driving by on a daily basis. I referred my guest to these locations and told them I would reimbursement them. I am a self renter and charge a substantial amount less (over $150 per night) than the full service Resort for a home of my size and location - 2,300 sq ft, 4 bedroom on Bay. I can keep my rates low by not having a full time person on the payroll to run minor errands.

I am glad Amy "enjoyed the property and the time we had there". Just a point of clarification from Amy's stay. On the website (which a lot of guest don't read thoroughly) is a detailed list of check in and check out instructions including the WiFi password, Tram cards, location of pool keys and the door code for front door and many other items necessary for Guest stay.

Thank You Rebecca for your candid comments. I will pass this on to my cleaning crew for improvement.

I appreciate my Guest's observations and would like to respond: "4 rooms 3 bathrooms" - My website clearly states 3 full baths. "Problems with dryer" - Guest called me and said he was drying towels and the dryer stopped. I suggested he had probably overloaded it and to try reducing the load. I scheduled an appliance repair person to be there in the next couple of hours. In the interim guest called back and said it was working after reducing the load as I had suggested. I have a stacked washer and dryer designed for a condo/townhome that is not designed to wash the full array of clothes for 4 families (10) people. "Grill outside nice but dirty" I have no idea which guests use the grill and how much propane they use so I try and have 2 full tanks at the beginning of the busy summer rental period. As for cleaning I clean my grill much like I do my self cleaning oven. Turn the grill on high for about 10 minutes - temp about 900 degrees - it will burn everything to ash on the grates. "One brand remote for 5 tv's etc" - All TV's have the remote given to me by the cable co and easily accesses the channels provided. Evidently my Guest wanted to do much more than watch local cable TV ie Netflix, YouTube on Smart TV's I am not sure what a Smart TV is so I will consult my Marine son at the nearby Eaglin Air base. "Internet not very fast, modem and wifi not in optimized locations" - Once again I will consult my son not really sure about all of the technology issues raised by my Guest that no other Guest have raised. "furniture worn but functional" - I try and get upholstery cleaned in between guest when my cleaning crew tells me that there are sun tan lotion residue on the couches chairs etc. but am not always able to do so. "home clean needs dusting" - I will consult my cleaning crew "all of the door and window blinds had broken clips at the bottom" I don't permanently secure my window blinds or door blinds at the bottom for the simple reason you can't raise and lower the blinds should the guest want to have an unobstructed view of the lake and bay views from my home and not have to try and look through louvered blinds. "broken string - blind came loose" - Will address this issue on next cleaning Once again, I appreciate my Guest's basic observations
