Destin vacation

Very clean and updated. Mattress was a little to firm for my liking but i have rheumatoid arthritis and need something softer but my husband said he was fine with it. And my daughtwr stated the other bed was fine for her also. Very close to beach and a short drive to everything in destin. Would definitely recommend this property and newman daily

Thank you for your recent review. Unfortunately, beds are very tricky, since everyone’s preferences are different. Some guests prefer a firm mattress while others prefer soft. To ensure our guests are comfortable, we are happy to provide extra mattress pads or mattress toppers that can bring the mattress to your desired level of comfort. We appreciate your feedback and hope you’ll call us in the future if there is anything we can do to make your stay more comfortable. We look forward to welcoming you back to the beach with Newman-Dailey!

This property was not like the listing you can not see the beach and we had mold in the shower.

Not clean, the bedding was like hospital bedding. Mold on the shower curtain and very outdated. You can not see the ocean.

Thank you for your recent review. Providing the highest level of hospitality is our number one priority, and we sincerely apologize for falling short of meeting your expectations. We’re not infallible, and always encourage guests to let us know of any issues upon arrival. I see that our team reached out to you during your stay but was unable to leave a voicemail due to your voicemail being full. As a teachable moment, we have shared your feedback with our housekeeping team to ensure our guidelines and high standards for cleanliness are always met. We look forward to earning your loyalty and welcoming you back to experience a flawless vacation on your next visit.

Perfect Location

Location was perfect. Just wish it was stocked a little better. We have stayed at other Newman Dailey properties and were supplied with paper towels, toilet paper, dishwasher detergent and clothing detergent. I just wish previous guests were allowed to leave left overs of those products as well as trash bags, paper plates, non- perishable itesms, etc....there vs. housekeeping throwing them out. Just seems like a waste of money to have to throw it away.

great place is you don’t plan to be in there

If you are looking for somewhere close to the beach, affordable and you plan to be out and about this is great place for sleeping. Quiet neighborhood. There were a few areas that could have been touched up as far as cleaning, but other than that it was alright.

Relaxing

The property was a perfect location to the beach and centrally located, which made it easier to visit different places. The house was cute and spacious for the 3 of us. The only negative is that we couldn't use the upstairs shower. The shower head was black and moldy looking. Definitely needs to be replaced or at least cleaned.

Nice and clean

We enjoyed our stay. It was a nice clean space and easy to get in and out and to the ocean. Our only complaint is that we thought it was located where you could see the water from the balcony (the pictures were slightly misleading) but you couldn’t. Other than that it was a great place to stay and we would stay there again.

Carribean Dunes 222, May 9-19, 2019

This property is located so close to the beach, a block away, it is very convenient. The property was nice although definitely dated, but the kitchen was updated and very nice. Excellent balcony to sit out on facing the pool just across the street. The only downside is that there are large rental houses across the street and they rented to fraternities and large noisy families. We did really enjoy our stay and had everything we needed for us to relax and enjoy our vacation.
Response from VrboOwner on 6 Mar, 2020
Thank you for your recent stay with us. We agree the property is in a great location. It is very convenient to walk to the beach. We are sorry your trip was interrupted by young adults partying. Unfortunately, we have no control over neighboring homes. We do encourage our guests to contact local law enforcement officials if the noise is loud after hours. We appreciate your feedback about the décor and have forwarded them to the property manager to discuss with the owner. We hope to welcome you back very soon.
