Ehh…

It was an okay stay. The room itself was clean but the bathroom was dingy and not very clean. Come: the walls are VERY thin, and the guests don’t respect the quiet hours (the property was great at response time with the complaints.) Parking was also another issue, barely any space to park without parking half a mile away. The door keypad was another issue, batteries sucked and took multiple tries to get into the unit. Overall a decent stay but didn’t enjoy it due to the issues we faced.

We love the setup of the property and will definitely be staying again!! Only 3 things is I think check in time should be sooner in the afternoon maybe like 2 instead of 4. I wish the information was sent sooner in the day to keep from stressing if it’ll be sent by time and 3rd is when you try to call the number they give nobody answers and it gets sent to voicemail other than that everything was great!

Seaside stay

The only bad thing about this place was they waited until the day of travel to tell us we needed to sign the rental agreement, but the link wouldn't work and it took hours for us to get them to understand this. Very stressful! The bed was super uncomfortable, but the customer service at the place was great and they responded promptly. Very quiet neighborhood. I would stay again.

Cozy room. Quick response by management on broken coffee pot. Toilet seat was extremely loose and a modest amount of mildew around tub but room was clean. Parking is not real convenient. Room rate is reasonable , pay attention to added fees ot total price when shopping for a room.

This place is amazing! My boyfriend and I went to the beach for a couple of days and this was a perfect place to stay. The public access beach was less than 10 minutes away. The only thing that wasn’t great was that we were supposed to get an email 24 hours in advance for the door code and instructions to get in and they never sent it so I had to call them. But the lady on the phone was sweet and sent my instructions right away. Also the door lock was weird, when you put the code in it would unlock but then immediately lock back, so you had to do it a couple times, but other than that I would highly recommend this place!

I stayed here last year and absolutely loved the place so went back…this year I’m guessing it had different people running it cuz it was not clean…I went to bed after being out in the sun and was chilled so pulled the extra blanket up and it had vomit on it…so I ended up washing all of the bedding to be sure it was clean…the dryers worked when they wanted and there r two washers one of which was broken my whole trip and thinking housekeeping left their items in there cuz they sat over 24 hours so I took them out to wash my stuff…the cupboard door was off when I arrived…the tub had a crack and appeared dirty…so I took a shower, and the towel rack fell so my towel went into the toilet…I took out the garbages when leaving and there was mold sitting in the bottom which had clearly been there a while…the pillows were yellow I noticed when I ended up washing the bedding definitely disappointed after the great stay last year the way things had got run down and not clean anymore…but they did respond to messages…and I did bring things to their attention but felt bad for even having to message about any of it… but hoping it gets better! I should have taken more photos as things happened and I noticed during the stay but these were three I took when I walked in that I noticed instantly and didn’t want to be charged for…

Very good with some not so good

We enjoyed our stay. We have a couple of suggestions. No salt in salt shaker, lamp bulb burned out no extras to replace, shower was slick, slick, slick. I actually fell. I’m okay, just a small bruise. Need to put a mat. We used a towel. Also a party close by that played loud music until 2 AM the night before we left.

Cute space inside. However please make sure you ask if the code has been changed from the previous guest. This will prevent people that you don’t know from coming in your room at 5 am. Communication with host was been good and a full refund was issued.

The room was nice and clean! They provided lots of little touches and the ability to cook in the room was a bonus. The only issues I had were the thinness of the walls, you could hear people’s conversations in the two rooms beside us and if they were even remotely loud it was LOUD. And because of street parking and the property and Florida being Florida, if it rains, you are getting drenched and trudging through water. An awning over the doors might also be helpful because if you accidentally try to open the door too soon and have to re-input the code, you’re just standing in the rain. And the inside floors are very slippery when wet! That all being said, we would probably stay here again. The location to Destin was fantastic and the price was really good. And like I said, it felt really clean in there!
