Midnight visitors

We had a great visit. Everything was great for what we needed especially the area close to shopping and dining. Only 15 to 20 minutes from family that we were visiting. We did experience loud knocking and doorbell ringing one night at midnight, chalked it up to teenagers maybe? Only happened once. Otherwise, good visit!

Will Stay Here Again

However, even though the AC was set to 70, it always read 76-78 inside. It had trouble keeping up with the heat. The place was very clean and the layout is perfect. There are no things like coffee or sugar, so stop by the store and pick some up before you come in.

Thank you for staying, Tony. We appreciate your feedback regarding your stay at Lakeside 312 at Bluewater Bay Resort. We apologize for any inconvenience you experienced due to the outdated aspects and the limited supplies; however, we disagree with your assessment. The condo has been updated and is in good condition. We say in the listing what we provide by way of supplies. If anything was missing you could have called us, but you didn't.

Blue Water Lakeside Condo

The A/C was not working at its full capacity due to the extreme heat outside, I sent a note to the manager and he replied immediately. What I was not that happy was with the cleanliness of the place, shower curtains full of mold, kitchen sink with mildew and 6 roaches found. Still I enjoyed the place. Kitchen fully equipped. I can will return.

HI: When you called to ask how to operate the AC thermostat, I sure wish you would have mentioned any cleanliness issues. Our inspection did not note these items but we would have addresses them immediately.

Niceville vacation

We enjoyed our stay. The unit is spacious, there's good water pressure and plenty of hot water, it's well-located near tennis and the pool, there's a nice view off the spacious balcony, and convenient parking. Bluewater Bay is close to shopping and the local fitness center (Bluewater Fitness -- excellent for visitors to the area). The bed was very comfortable, there was an overhead fan in each bedroom, windows that opened, and a bedside light on each side of the bed (these things have been missing in various other vacation rentals). The pictures accurately represent the unit. The place could use a few minor upgrades that would have made our stay even better. I'll preface this by saying that we stayed for 2 weeks, probably longer than most. We cook in and exercise a lot. So, we may be more picky than most. The property manager was very responsive to our initial concerns about a minor cleaning issue. I recommend the unit.

Bluewater Bay Lakeside Condo

Booked the stay for my 70+ year old parents. In general, the property was clean. However, there was blood on the sheets, in several places, like a scab had been picked and had brushed against the sheets—whether it was the cleaning crew, or the previous guests, mother was displeased. Toilet seat was broken in MBR, and an issue for my father. Lots of stairs—it’s an upstairs condo, followed by more stairs to get to the MBR. Not a factor for younger folks—but elderly will have a handful of issues carrying large bags, or multiple bags. The 3 tvs seemed to have basic cable and limitations to what was available. Streaming services not available on the TVs. Again, not a big deal for most—but for my older parents, they did not enjoy the stay, and their first time VRBO experience.

Thank you for staying. You did not report any issues to us, so I can't really address the sheets. As for the broken toilet seat, this was replaced after you left because that's when we noticed it was broken (you sure someone in your family didn't break it?). We do not make it a secret that you must be able to climb stairs (read the listing) to access this condo. Oh, and you should have mentioned this was a third party booking. Third party bookings must be pre-approved by us. Please let us know if you are booking for someone else as we will have questions.

Golf getaway

We stayed for a month so really appreciated all the drawers, cupboards and storage space. The stove and utensils were in good condition. Loved the huge bedroom. Would have liked a better cable package but my husband survived without all his programs.

Cozy hideaway

This property was everything the listing says it will be! Very beautiful property that is well maintained. Very responsive owner/staff. They answered every question and provided Alexa to do so as well which was definitely a bonus. It was so clean and modern with new appliances and furniture. Overall the property is very quiet and allows for a peaceful and relaxing stay. We definitely recommend choosing them!

Great Stay!

This condo is great, it’s very clean, spacious and comfortable, while it’s not directly in front of the beach, it’s only about a 20 min drive to beach, and we actually enjoyed the beautiful drive across the bridge to Destin,, it was a treat coming home to this quiet condo, surrounded by trees and a lake after a long day at the beach, Ken was also great and accommodating host, I definitely recommend staying here..
