House is very outdated. Owner hasn’t done anything to the house since they bought it. Water issues, pool heater didn’t work when told it was working. Oven didn’t work, I can keep going!

Response from VrboOwner on 23 Mar, 2026
Hi Chad, Thank you for your feedback. We’re very sorry to hear your stay at The Bellagio did not meet expectations. We want to clarify that the home is described in the listing as an older property that shows some age, though we understand that condition and presentation can still fall short of what guests anticipate, and we regret that this was your experience. Regarding the maintenance concerns, our team responded to each report during your stay and worked to address them as quickly as possible. That said, we sincerely apologize for the issues you encountered, particularly with the pool heater and appliances, as we know how important those features are when planning your trip. We also appreciate you taking the time to speak with our team while in-house. Your feedback has been shared with both our maintenance team and the owner so we can continue improving the home and overall guest experience. We understand your frustration, but we do hope you might consider giving us another opportunity in the future. We’d be happy to personally assist in selecting a property that better aligns with your expectations. Warm regards, Benchmark Management

I don’t even know where to start with this review. I’ve had to contact the management people before we even came down to stay multiple times. When we arrived, there was no Wi-Fi the entire week, cockroaches, tape on the floor to patch up the floorboards, water running with the ice machine and the air-conditioning unit wasn’t working well. Everything looked old dense in the wall. Was not kept up very well as the picture showed. I would say the best thing about this front was the location and being right on the beach. Maintenance had to come twice while we were there and not very much seating to lounge around for as many as the home could house.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re truly sorry to hear that your experience did not meet expectations, and we appreciate you bringing these concerns to our attention. We regret the issues you encountered during your stay, including the Wi-Fi interruption, maintenance concerns, and overall condition of the home. While our team did respond and sent maintenance out during your visit, we understand that this did not fully resolve the frustrations you experienced, and for that we sincerely apologize. Your comments regarding upkeep, amenities, and seating are important to us. We are actively reviewing these items with our maintenance and ownership teams to address areas that need improvement and to ensure the home better reflects the listing photos and guest expectations moving forward. We do appreciate you noting the beachfront location, which many of our guests enjoy, and we’re sorry that the rest of your stay fell short of what it should have been. Guest feedback like yours helps us identify where changes are needed, and we take it seriously as we work to improve the experience for future guests. Thank you again for sharing your perspective.

Hi Kaira, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback.

Your comments about the home’s condition, maintenance concerns, and cleanliness are taken very seriously, and we’ve already shared them with our local team to ensure each point is promptly addressed. We deeply value your honesty, as it helps us identify areas that need improvement and ensures future guests have a much better experience. If you’re open to it, we’d love the opportunity to speak directly and make things right. Please feel free to reach out.

We have come to Destin for years and this by far has been our favorite stay. The house is everything it says it is and MORE. Great location, perfect set up for large group, and when we had an issue, it was quickly taken care. Spring break was very busy this year in Destin, the beaches were so packed, so we were very thankful for the private pool!!!!!!! We can’t wait to go back next year!!!!!

Stay at Bellagio

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. 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: The house is beautiful! There were just a few things that could use some improvement, we did see quite a few roaches during our stay in the bathrooms and kitchens, which we understand is a constant battle in Florida. Our biggest complaint is the wifi not working at all in the carriage house and the wifi in the house being VERY slow. As a group of women who were on this trip for business and pleasure it was frustrating to not have good reliable internet. The final concern is that there appears to be a leak in the ceiling of the carriage house right at the top of the stairs.
Response from VrboOwner on 27 May, 2025
Thank you for your thoughtful feedback; we are so glad to hear you enjoyed the beauty of the home and that it served as a comfortable space for your trip. We do want to sincerely apologize for the issues you encountered during your stay. You are absolutely right; while pest control is a regular and proactive part of our maintenance routine, Florida’s climate can make it an ongoing challenge. We have scheduled an additional inspection to ensure this is addressed thoroughly. We also truly understand how important reliable Wi-Fi is, especially for guests working remotely or mixing business with travel. We’re currently working with the property owner to explore options for improving connectivity, particularly in the carriage house, which should absolutely have functional access. Lastly, thank you for noting the potential leak; our maintenance team has already been made aware, and we are arranging an inspection to determine the cause and make any necessary repairs. Your feedback helps us improve, and we hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back with an even better experience in the future. Regards, Benchmark Management

September 2017 Stay

This house was amazing. My family came and celebrated my sons 18th birthday. We had a blast. Everything was more than expected. Everyone was very excited about this home. We called about the hot water down stairs, maintenance came and fixed problem immediately. The only thing was wrong, but didn't hender our fun, was the elevator was not operational, other than that, no complaints at all. House is directly on beach always a plus, and the private pool was also a plus. We will definitely return again and stay in this place. You guys rock. Thanks so much for allowing my family to rent this home.

Beautiful home and location losing it’s luster

The beachfront location is terrific and the fact that it could accommodate our 20 family members with the flexibility of a pool was a most welcome feature. The home is showing extreme wear and tear. The exterior needs power washing, landscaping is an eye sore. We notified management company: mold in bathrooms, rainwater leaking from can light in bedroom, kitchen wood tables very sticky and this was also brought up in a May review, along with other items. Our family really enjoyed our stay, but the property needs some tender loving care.

Good location

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Spent nearly a week. Beautiful home, spacious rooms. The home needs some tender loving care. Minor repairs have not been done like shower doors off track, double doors that barely open, uneven floors, slow shower drains, pigeons living in the eves, ovens and stove tops slow to warm, dining tables that need resurfacing. It is a beautiful, clean home that has been neglected a little, not terrible. The view and beach is breathtaking.
