Enjoyed our Weekend Stay

My family and I enjoyed our weekend stay. The staff was friendly, and the place was nice. The fan in the twin room was a bit noisy but overall, we were pleased.

We’ve been staying at Sundestin for years, and never had a problem in any of the rooms. This time we had a visitor, who decided to eat our loaf of bread in the middle of the night.

Sundestin Resort

The blonde lady at the front desk was not very friendly to deal with. We checked in early and was told that we could but when we got to the resort we had to wait five hours to check in. it was not ideal especially with a toddler

Great unit!

This was our 3rd year staying at Sundestin during October fall break. We love this condo and the amenities it provides. We frequent The Pelicans Roost often during the day. If I had any advice to give it would be that they try and staff a couple more people there in Pelicans.

Nice Time!

Great view of the beach! Chair and umbrella rental company takes over the entire water line of the beach. If you don’t rent their equipment you have to set up behind them. The condo unit was clean with the exception of the floors. The bottoms of our feet were black from the tile floors. Cleaning fee includes mopping I would presume. Don’t believe the floors were mopped after the last rental. The ac unit works fine with the exception of the loud bang it makes when it turns on. So loud that it keeps you up all night and you jump when you hear it. It’s much louder in the bedroom where it’s located. It needs to be replaced or serviced. When plugging in our electrical devices it was noticed all the plugs are very loose and would not work unless you played with the plug. They need to be replaced. We had a fun weekend and enjoyed the stay.

The condo was nice, clean and satisfactory with a great view. The air conditioning unit was very very loud in the guest bedroom, causing restless nights.

Great vacation experience

Thanks his unit was perfect for two couples for a week. We have stayed at this property before and knew the property was good. The unit is very well furnished. If I could change one thing I’d put a queen in the guest room instead of two twins. Other than that thought absolutely love it

Parking and umbrellas

I cannot believe I paid that much for a two bedroom condo and I only get one parking place on my side of the street. Also I can’t believe I cannot put up an umbrella on the beach. I won’t be staying there again if I have a choice

Great view of the beach!

We enjoyed our stay. We had a few problems - TV remote had dead batteries and no instructions for using it, and coffee pot quit working the second day- but they were quickly addressed by the front desk and maintenance staff. The decor needs to be updated, AC unit in front bedroom is very loud when it comes on. A table on the balcony would be helpful.

Poor Resort.

This facility is awful. The walls had patch work that did not even get painted over. The ceiling is peeling. The master bed is so low thats it almost impossible to stand up getting out of it and it\'s a very old noisy coil spring mattress. The guest bedroom had to very tiny twin size beds that were so small that my 10 and 12year old refused to sleep in and chose the let out sofa. The nightstand in the master bedroom is on 3 legs. Every handle for the chest of drawers are bent. The glass door to the shower doesn\'t slide properly. The sofas are also dirty and the resort smells of musk.There was so much to complain on that we knew the receptionist would be overwhelmed so we just dealt with it. We\'ve stayed here back when Wyndham had it and it was totally different. The owner of this resort is definitely taking the cheap route and it shows. Also the smallest toilets I\'ve ever seen. This was just a awful stay. Suite 501 sundestin

Pros / cons of this unit…

The entire property is a bit odd. The location is great, but the building seems sketchy. As we exited the elevator to get to our rental unit, I was put off by the dark, damp, low ceiling hallways. The ac units are extremely loud and the whole place looks outdated. Onto this unit in particular: Pros - Beautiful views, right on the beach, high enough to see the clear ocean water and low enough to people watch and spot family on the beach or in the pool. Nice fridge, efficient washer/dryer in unit, AC worked well. Didn’t hear any noise from other units. Glad we were on a corner. Cons - cheap decor, felt dirty/grimy, outdated & bare looking furniture, low popcorn ceilings, chipped paint, bedding was bagged up and thrown on couch when we arrived, poor lighting, off balance ceiling fans (noisy and unstable), corners of box springs were broken and sticking out, no actual comforters - just thin stiff covers, outdated Formica counter tops throughout unit, very limited hot water for showers, cheap pvc patio chairs. It was an ok experience and glad we found something to book only a month out from our trip, but I wouldn’t stay here again.

Old rusty unit

Rusted and broken down furniture and fixtures, roaches in the unit (we killed one and left on the floor so the janitors can see it), big trash bags were put in front of the unit( next to the trash chute) by other people, asked front desk to remove but no one showed up, uncomfortable stay

Highly recommend

Absolutely loved this condo and the whole resort. Our condo was well stocked with basic supplies, very clean, and just the right size for our group of five. Loved that it had a small washer and dryer available. The staff at the front desk, security desk, and gift shop were all very friendly and helpful. The location right on the ocean was perfect.
