We truly enjoyed our stay. We had all of the amenities needed. Plenty of room too. We loved being directly on the beach. Also, our location was close to several eating places and shopping.

My wife and I really enjoyed our 8 night stay at the Weekender. Great location, easy check-in, and clean. The unit itself is very nice, 3 levels of decks that face the beach, and the furnishings are really good.

It was dirty. There hasn’t been a good cleaning done for a while. Mold on the shower heads. Had to pick up shower glass to take a shower wouldn’t slide. Roaches in the basement. Wouldn’t stay there again.

Thank you for your feedback. We’re truly sorry to hear that your experience didn’t meet expectations. While the home was cleaned prior to arrival, we understand how important it is for everything to feel spotless. We’ve informed our housekeeping team to pay closer attention moving forward and will be implementing more thorough inspections to ensure consistency. We do have regular pest control scheduled, and we appreciate you mentioning the shower door, plans are already in place to replace it, though the other remains functional in the meantime. We value your input, as it helps us continue improving, and we hope to have the chance to provide you with a smoother and more enjoyable stay in the future.
Our family had a great time during our stay. The location was perfect and the house was right on the beach. The house is well equipped and great for a large group or family. Parking is not ideal, especially during busy season.

This was the most wonderful VRBO stay I've had to date. The location was perfect and exactly as described. Any issues we had were minor and were immediately addressed by the property company, AvantStay. Their communication is miles above everyone else. Thank you for such a positive experience.

This was an excellent location for our family to have a long weekend together. Our children are starting their adventures into adulthood and we wanted to make sure we have a family vacation before they get too busy for us. Life makes us busy… we would love to come back one day, hopefully with a growing family.

Location is perfect for our family with small kids. We don’t have to walk across street or carry everything down to beach. It’s easy to walk right back up indoors to grab whatever you need. It’s quiet at night which is also relaxing and keeps our little ones from waking up. The lower level back porches need to be updated because the steps & wood in general are old/warped. Otherwise, it is a great spot.

We also appreciate your feedback about the lower-level back porches and will certainly look into updating the steps and wood. We’re happy that, overall, it was a great spot for your stay, and we’d love to welcome you back in the future!
We enjoyed our stay. We had no issues and the property was clean and no bugs. Be advised the lower level stairs are very slippery when wet. We loved the location and had no problem with being crowded on the beaches or anyone setting up in front of us. The king primary bed was very comfortable. The pull outs for the teens were not comfortable but they made it work. The shower pressure was great and we had plenty of hot water for all 10 to shower. We stayed nice and cool the entire time but extra fans were nice.

It's great to know everyone stayed cool and had plenty of hot water throughout the trip. We’d love to host you again!
Was a great place to stay. The only thing I’d say is that it could’ve been cleaned better. There was sand in the area rugs that clearly weren’t swept and if so not with a sweeper. Also the floors were cruddy. Dog hair from the last guest. I Had to wash my feet off before going to bed cause my feet got so dirty from the dirty floors. All I could find was a broom and dust pan to clean with. No sweeper or mop.

Thank you for your feedback, Jade. We’re glad to hear you enjoyed your stay, but we sincerely apologize for the cleanliness issues you experienced. Your comments about the sand, dog hair, and lack of cleaning supplies are important, and we will address these concerns with our cleaning team to ensure a better experience in the future. We appreciate your understanding and hope to host you again!
The checkin process and communication with AvantStay was excellent. The access to the beach was easy and convenient. Plus not crowded as it is in a private beach area. The house was as stated. I would say there are a few items that were not up to par. The parking, truly only room for 2 cars and not SUV's. The decking and outside stairs are in need of repair. The deck is rotting and there are nail neads that stick up. The grills were not great, we did not use them as they are dirty and old, the grease under the grills was gross.
Overall, we had a great trip, but disappointed in the items mentioned.

This townhouse is right on the beach. You step off your deck onto the beach. You don’t have to walk through a big condo complex or even use an elevator. Because you can just step out of your unit into the sand. This unit is very large. Lots of levels to spread out. The stairs in the unit are a little steep (warning if you have knee issues). Each level has gorgeous views and amazing balconies. One thing that this unit offers (that many other rentals don’t offer), is lots of supplies that you may need. They even supply you with shampoo and conditioner. We enjoyed our stay here and would love to book this place again.

We also appreciate you mentioning the extra supplies we provide for our guests—it’s great to know that made your stay even more comfortable. We’d love to host you again in the future!
My husband and I stayed here with our daughter's family. The townhouse was the perfect setup for us. We took the lower level which consists of a large bedroom, full bath and kitchenette / living room combo. Our daughter's family took the 2 upstairs bedrooms / bathrooms and we shared the main floor living room / kitchen. The unit was well appointed and had everything we needed. It's been beautifully updated. We've stayed in a few of the Sanddolllar units in the past and this one ranks at the top. It was very nice to arrive and there be plenty of "necessities" there already (not the case with other units we've stayed in) such as toilet paper, paper towels, soap, shampoo & body wash, dishwasher soap, detergent etc. I highly recommend this unit. The location is fabulous. My only criticism would be the decking needs some attention, particularly the lowest level and the couch could use a cleaning.

We've stayed in Destin both during the summer & in October several times over the years. This was our first time staying in a condo on the beach, and it was great. Being only steps from the beach is a big plus, and even though there were more people on the beach than expected, we never felt crowded. Also, we were able to walk to Pompano Joe's, one of our favorite restaurants in Destin. The property itself was fine, plenty of room for just me & my wife & our dogs. Allowing dogs was what sealed the deal. Our only complaint was we paid for beach gear to be delivered because none was listed in the amenities for the property, then we arrived only to find a lot of beach gear available from the owner. So, we spent money unnecessarily. I regret that I did not contact AvantStay about this before we ordered the gear. Our communication with AvantStay was pleasant & painless. Anyway, everything else was great. Glad we went & hope to be able to return next year.

We appreciate your insights about the beach gear and will certainly look into clarifying the amenities. It’s great to know that your communication with AvantStay was pleasant. We’d love to welcome you back next year for another fantastic stay!
The unit was great. Clean, stocked very well with essentials. Better than any other units we have been too. Also , no bugs! Which we seen other units . Wish there was more seating in living room. 2 couches make more sense .There should be some cable rather than having streaming services. The master bathroom shower one side wouldn't open. The fridge shelves are on their last legs. Needs to be replaced. Parking is tough but we are used to it. We have stayed in these town homes for 8yrs. Overall great unit compared to some of the other units we have stayed in. Should add beach chair service. We paid for ours for two weeks . We did leg work to get the chair service. It should be combined with our actual agreement. Dishwasher was off kilter but someone came out immediately and fixed it and was super nice. Overall loved our stay. When you go somewhere for 2 weeks, you want things to be almost like home and it was just like it. Definitely will rent again.

Thank you, Jason! We’re so glad to hear the unit felt like home and stood out compared to others you’ve stayed in over the years. We truly appreciate the detailed feedback—it helps us know what’s working and where we can improve. We’ll look into the living room seating, bathroom shower, and fridge shelves, and we’re glad the dishwasher was taken care of quickly. Great note on the beach chair service too—we’ll explore how we can make that more convenient for future guests. We'd be happy to welcome you back anytime!
This was a nice get-away with friends-Sadly, the downstairs was a bit lack luster. The rug in the kitchenette area was filthy & needs replaced-The outside deck had rusty furniture that also needs replacement-Be aware the downstairs has no closet-It was extremely hot due to the window air conditioner that needs replacement. The bunk beds would prob fit a small child but not any adult-I would prefer a closet & the bunk beds out-Even if they put in a clothing rack would be nice to hang your clothes-I would suggest a hook on the bathroom door to hang clothes while showering. The bedding was nice, bed comfortableNow upstairs..I wish I had been upstairs. It seems they have updated it but not the downstairs. The kitchen was very nice & had all the amenities needed. The highlight was the bedroom with the attached balcony. it was lovely. I have to say the place was well stocked with everything that you need. Shampoo, conditioner, body wash & hand soap. The parking is really a struggle-It is on a hill & very tight. It was difficult backing in since it is on the highway but that can't be changed.The decking on the bottom floor desperately needs replacement-Several boards are loose & a lot of screws need to be screwed back in. Wear your flip flops or you may get splinters or step on screws.The beach is beautiful and stunning at sunset.It is walking distance to Pompano Joes. I don't like writing a negative review I just want folks to see the cons as well as well as the pros.
