GREAT

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We were on Destin’s for a family vacation and my nieces beach wedding! This rental is the perfect location to the beach! Everything for the beach (chairs, toys, wagons, umbrella, towels, etc.) was available that house which made traveling so far easy! Minor issues with the house but the management was so easy to deal with and took care of everything promptly! Overall had amazing time and loved the property would definitely recommend!

This house has the potential to be beautiful, and the location and community are both great. But, the condition of the home made it very hard to enjoy our stay.The property is clearly in need of significant maintenance and attention. The balcony chairs were torn and unusable, there were many issues inside the home that needed attention, and the pool area and grill were in such poor condition that we couldn’t enjoy them at all.The biggest issue was that the house was infested with roaches. It made it very hard to feel comfortable in this home and now we’re all on high alert that we may have brought something into our own homes! The management company was great and did make an effort to address some of the issues we brought to their attention. Pest control was sent out a couple times and they offered us a different place to stay but they could only accommodate us for part of the trip so we would have had to return to this house anyway. Unfortunately, there were simply too many problems with the property for management to fix, but we do appreciate their attentiveness and effort.It’s sad because this home truly could be a great rental. With some updates, maintenance, pest control, and some investment in the outdoor amenities and furnishings, it could be a wonderful place to stay. I sincerely hope the owners invest it but as it stands the condition of the property doesn’t match what we expected from a vacation rental in this location and community.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We're glad to hear you enjoyed the location and community, and we appreciate your kind words about our management team's responsiveness. During your stay, the Destin area experienced a tropical storm, which brought an unusual number of Asian cockroaches indoors throughout the area. After your report, we immediately had Florida Pest Control inspect and treat both the home and the entire property. Their licensed technicians confirmed the insects were Asian roaches, not German cockroaches, and explained that these seasonal insects are often driven indoors by weather. They also confirmed they do not establish indoor infestations and would not survive transport home. We understand that seeing any insects during a vacation is unsettling, which is why we responded promptly, arranged multiple pest control visits, and even offered alternative accommodations to minimize the disruption to your stay. The tropical weather also contributed to debris collecting in the pool between scheduled service visits. While a skimmer net is provided for guests to remove any leaves or pine straw that may fall between cleanings, we understand this impacted your enjoyment of the outdoor space. Since your visit, we've continued to make improvements to the home, including replacing the grill, addressing the lighting concerns, and updating outdoor furnishings. We remain committed to maintaining a high standard for both our guests and homeowners and appreciate feedback that helps us continue improving the property. We wish you all the best and thank you again for your feedback.
