Our 1st Trip to Destin

Not receiving the 5th star only has to do with the bad weather. Destin has a great beach and community. Accommodations were perfect, neighbors in Gulfview were very friendly.

Great location, beautifully updated condo

We had a wonderful time here! The condo has been beautifully updated. Right across the street from the beach, within walking distance to multiple restaurants, great family oriented neighborhood. This is our new favorite vacation spot! We will be back soon! Be advised, there are 3 flights of stairs here with no elevator but we managed perfectly!

Glad you had a great time, Kaitlyn! Please note there are two flights of stairs. We are on floor 3, but floor 1 is ground. So, you have to climb two flights of stairs. :)

Home away from Home

This Gulfview unit was like home. The warm colors and set up was inviting and functional. The unit was clean and i liked the fact we were on the top floor. Although, we ate out while in Destin, the unit had ample cookware. It is located in the middle of everything, so we walked to restaurants and to the beach, which is right across street from the condo. Thank you Marto Family for the thought you put into your unit.

Not ideal

The condo and bedsheets were dirty upon arrival, housekeeping did come back to clean more. I had to clean countertops before we could set anything down. Internet went in and out all week. The couch was stained and very dirty. We put a blanket over it to feel comfortable sitting on it. The owners are in the process of listing this condo so their are showings in between stays which is adding to the limited time housekeeping has to clean.
Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2020
Response from VrboOwner on 19 Jul, 2020
We are very sorry about the housekeeping issues reported by this guest. They are uncommon and have been addressed with housekeeping, who immediately returned to the condo and corrected them. Housekeeping apologized profusely and the guest expressed satisfaction and appreciation for how quickly and professionally we handled the issues. As for the internet, we have not had any issues reported by any guests previously or after this guest. When we were told about the internet, we asked all other owners in our private owner chat and no one was having internet issues in the complex (our internet is part of the HOA, it’s high speed and very reliable). We asked the guest to follow the instructions provided on the check in email and guest told us had been fixed. We are so used to getting five star reviews on our properties and when we don’t, it’s always sad. But, it’s a good reminder to keep working hard, remind the team we rely on of our high standards, and communicate professionally. We appreciate this guest’s feedback and hope they enjoyed their summer vacation and built some great memories!

Great Location!!

The Gulf View was exactly as pictured. The condo was adorable and the perfect size for the two of us. Stocked with everything you may need. The heated pool and hot tub were great! The grounds and pool area are very well kept. We loved talking to the ladies(snow birds) at the pool as there was a group that met every morning. The down side for me. I broke my foot on the first day we were there. I couldnt decide if we should stay or go home. I contacted Valeria to let her know what happen, she offered to help in any way she could. She even told me she would have moved us to her Panama unit, there was an elevator in that building. Unfortunately there was guest that was staying for a month. We decided to stay and I'm very happy we did! I had to laugh and keep a positive attitude given the situation. The only way I could get down the stairs is to hop down using the handrails, as I said, the grounds were well kept and they PAINTED the rails one morning! I laughed and asked my husband if I could just catch a break! The beach access was right across the street, I loved that we could "walk" over. We watched the sunset from the beach, it was gorgeous! I was determined to get on that white sand and used my crutches to do so. Our stay at the Gulf View was one to remember. Thank You for your hospitality! We would Definitely stay again. Sue & Corey

How much more fun would life be if we could laugh at ourselves like you did and refuse to let unfortunate circumstances steal our joy? I will never forget this review. Thank you for blessing me (and hopefully other readers) with your positive attitude and love of life! I hope you heal quickly and come back soon! ~ Valeria
