Crab island trip

We had a nice visit! Beautiful view of the bay- we knew about construction- but parking was very limited & neighbors not very neighborly… condo was clean and exactly as described in listing- booking and check in was seamless & uneventful.

Thank you for staying. The construction should be ending in 2 weeks or so (currently June 1, 2022). That will free up the parking too.

Perfect location with a beautiful view

Easiest rental we have ever booked. The condo and pool was clean and the updates were nice. The view was amazing and we also seen a lot of dolphins. The location was close to so much with lots to do. They are doing construction but that didn’t bother us one bit. Everyone we talked to was so nice.

Excellent communication with the property manager, Ken, answered ALL messages practically immediately. And had the plumber available ASAP after we messaged about the lack of hot water. The owner was not a part of any conversations.There were plenty of Nice thick towels . The Air Conditioner worked VERY WELL. The bed was comfortable.There is a lot of maintenance that needs to be done to this rental.The sliding door to the water view stays stuck and can barely be moved, Especially when outside trying to come back into the apartment.The shower handles need to be replaced. Even though the plumber came, the very next day we still had issues getting hot water. He explained they were old and therefore getting "stuck". After he left, we still were unable to get HOT water in the master bathroom. We ended up showering in the spare bathroom because we could get the water hot enough.All of the cooking pans are unusable, the anti stick is peeling into the food if used. I tried cooking eggs the 1st morning we were there. The bedding was very cheap and WELL used. There was long hair throughout the apartment, especially on the walls in the bathrooms. The walls in both bathrooms need to have a thorough deep cleaning. Carpets old and stained.And of course the ceiling.... the paint or ceiling finish is peeling and coming off. There is NO laundry in the apartment, you are expected to use the laundry mat in a different building which was not stated in the ad.

Simple and effective

We were just having a girls weekend. This location allowed us a waterfront view without the cost of staying by the beach. The place was clean and there was adequate space for the three of us. The ONLY downside was the neighbors seemed to have to slam their door to shut it. It was a small thing tho. I would book here again if i return to the area.

Peaceful view

We loved the view and patio this place had to offer. It was limited on space but the perfect reading and coffee nook for 2 people. One night, we even watched fireworks from the balcony that were across the bay in Destin. The master bedroom was quite spacious with plenty of storage. They offered pool noodles and such and the pool onsite was great. The only negative wasnthat there was onsite laundry but not actually in the unit. But nothing unmanagable. Really enjoyed our time here.

Great getaway

We loved the condo and the view was gorgeous. We had a wonderful time, everything was as described. Our only issue was out of anyone’s control and that the repairs that are being done to the downstairs condos that were damaged by hurricane are being done before 8am. Which for some isn’t bad but when you’re enjoying catfishing at night until after 2am it’s a little ruff to be woke up by hammering, yelling between the construction workers and the saws and other equipment going. But we look forward to coming back again some time.

Beautiful, quiet place on the water away from the busy tourism.

Had a little cousin family reunion and had such a great time, we're thinking about making this an annual thing. This was a beautiful condo, right on the water, and away from the busy tourist area. Being away from the busy Destin strip, it was only a 15-20 min drive to the Destin beaches. One of my favorite parts was sitting on the back patio in the morning, looking out over the bay, drinking my coffee, and watching the dolphins play. It was very calm and quiet and the neighbors we met were quite pleasant with us. Everything was clean with plenty of room, lounging, and towels for four adults on a five day stay. The place looks just as the pictures portray. Hurricane repairs were still going on, but a non-issue as it's happening at the other end of the complex. Parking was not an issue for us with 2 cars. We didn't take the opportunity to use the pool, but it was a nice, clean, large pool that we will use in future. There's also a coin laundry room by the pool with plenty of washers/dryers if you need to do laundry while you're there. I will definitely stay here again for future visits to the area.

Thank you for staying. This condo is in Shalimar, which is out of the way of all the tourist areas, but close enough you can go enjoy them if you like. It is also very close to the Eglin main gate for our military travelers.

Myself, my 9 year old, my parents, and my brother stayed for 10 days in Feb 2026. Overall, I wouldn’t rebook. The MD, Ken, was proactive and responsive to our issues. He explained the prior guests were long-term and cleaners only had one day, but the condition still felt lacking.The beds were short-sheeted, and the shower liners were red and slimy with mold (replaced after complaint). Paint was massively peeling from ceilings and there were holes in tiles and walls. There were suspected mouse droppings (insect larvae?) in bedside tables and kitchen cupboards, so we rewashed every dish. Dirty knives were in the knife block. Garbage was under a bed and the TV unit, plus a year-old (!) pack of cookies in a cupboard. A lamp had a loose fitting (fixed after complaint). The sleeper sofa had a dirty mattress protector and no sheets, and we were short pillowcases (supplied after asking). We requested the 175 cleaning fee be waived and were refunded 30.One neighbor was arrested at 7am after a prior police visit, another neighbor complained about my child playing at 6pm. A watermain burst and we were without water for hours, asked the workers while heading to central toilets. The support team didn’t know the pedestrian gate code so we got stuck until a car passed.Positives: amazing balcony views, some friendly residents, easy Roku TV, fast coin laundry, smooth self-check-in, reliable wifi, full-size fridge and good kitchen equipment, and effective air conditioning. /end

Guest was very nice. We did have a long-term work crew check out the morning of their arrival; and my cleaning team struggled to get the place ready, which was no excuse. We did a partial refund of the cleaning charge, which I believe to have been fair. The condo was deep cleaned after this stay as we need two days to do it (it is impossible to do in 6 hours). The ceiling paint looks like it is peeling. It looks like this due to work done on the building a few years ago. It is not raining paint, so please don't get that impression. This condo is in a building with 7 other condos and is on professional pest control. I don't know what they saw in the cabinet as they cleaned it themselves. I asked a few of the other tenants and they have not seen any rodents, neither did this guest. It is possible to walk in the vehicle gate by entering the code we give you to use from your car. No reason to wait at the pedestrian gate. I can't speak to the other issues (the arrest and water main) as they are completely out of our control. We ask they our guests call us to handle any issues; and this guest did so.

Great area, but pest infested

In a great location, but we had a very unpleasant experience with cleanliness and care of the condo. 6 total large cockroaches, 5 in the interior, were counted, plus some at the grilling area and dumpster. 4 of them were in the kitchen, two on the kitchen counter, one on the balcony, one in bathroom. The property is on the bay near water and has a wonderful view, but proper pest control does not seem in order in such a risky area. There were at least 5 visible bait traps (roach motels). We brought this up with the owner and were told they were just a preventative measure. We also found mouse droppings on two days on the kitchen counter, so we are sure there was a mouse in the kitchen. We took extra care measures to ensure there was no food left on the counters, tables, floor, etc. even before our experience with the first cockroach. Underneath the refrigerator was filthy and cluttered with cardboard, an easy hiding spot for the rodent(s) and insects. There was also a gaping hole in the kitchen wall where an old landline telephone once stood, and we saw cockroaches trying to get out through there into the kitchen. We told the owner about our negative experience from the beginning but were told all he could do is treat the area with chemicals, we refused this, but ended up having to spray the phone hole to keep them out. Owner refused to implement hole sealing and cleaning and tried to cover up infestation. It was a disgusting experience, took away from the beauty of the bay.

We offered to treat for pests multiple times but were refused every time. It is common to find pests in Florida and this condo is on a professional program. She finally did let us in the last day, but would not allow us to spray. We did find the place to be quite dirty...from the guest. They had food out all over the kitchen; her statement that they didn't leave anything out is false. The only good thing was they did clean up right before they left. We did treat right after she left and we do keep bait traps as a preventative. This is common.
