We loved staying here! It was clean, beds were super comfy. Our son loved the bunk room and how dark it was, he slept great! We would definitely recommend this property!
We did not realize it was a family friendly resort, so all the kids were honestly annoying and made it difficult to relax by the pool/ocean. Loud. It was nice location but really just ok, not as much walking distance things to do so we had to rent a car. For the money we spent, we will stay at a regular hotel/resort. Also, no basic needs; salt, pepper, extra toilet paper.
Hi yes if you had read the description it clearly states "The ultimate vacation destination on the Emerald Coast for those who truly appreciate luxury resort accommodations for the entire family." Check-in email also states starter set of amenities only. Know Before You Go!
Stayed 4 nights with 4 adults and 4 kiddos. Plenty of room! Had everything we needed and more. Full closet with beach chairs beach cart, beach toys, boougie boards etc. Beds were very comfy. Pinkie was super responsive to any questions. Would absolutely use again and recommend!
We had a great stay! Condo was close to elevator access and even though it didn’t face the pool we still had a view of the ocean as well as the fireworks from the pier. Access was easy as well. I problems with any codes.
Condo was nice and well equipped. Did not have the view I expected but I may not have reviewed the pictures as well as I thought I had. We had a great time. Would definitely stay there again.
Location was amazing. Stayed at the waterscape 4 other times prior. This condo itself had some small issues, but pinky and her team was always willing to fix any and all issues. Over all I’d stay there again
I truly enjoyed the condo and the property was also great. The amenities at the facility are nice, and perfect for families. The beach gets busy, as to be expected, but we reserved beach chairs and an umbrella which was worth the cost. Easy access to Destin and getting in and out of town.
We booked this property to stay in a few days in our way home from Disney. The condo had everything we needed. We would stay here again. Loved the accessibility to the beach!
We had a great time! The condo was just about perfect. It had everything we needed and was very comfortable. The only thing missing was the view overlooking the pool and the Gulf that was portrayed on the website for A513, Octopus's Garden. We faced the parking lot and side of the Hilton Garden Inn next door. We will be back, but will make sure the view from the condo matches the view shown on the website.
This condo was everything and more. It was so clean and the beds were super comfy. We had to leave a day early due to the winter storm that came into Oklahoma, but I would love to stay again sometime.
This was our first time coming to the Destin/Fort Walton Beach area and had the best time! Our kids loved all the amenities at this property especially the pools and prim location to the beach. Our unit was the perfect size to house two families for a week long vacation. Kids loved the bunk room and especially the TV's for in the morning when they woke up and at night before bed. Great place for a family vacation! We will definitely be back in the future!
Our family got together to celebrate my mother in laws 80th birthday. We rented three condos in building A and we had the best time. The condos are so convenient to the beach, the pool was a great option when we were tired of the sand and the little pool bar was nice to have for drinks!
Our condo was clean, beautifully decorated and perfect for our family of 6. The little kids loved the bunk room.
The beach was gorgeous and we also loved having the two chairs and umbrella to take a break from the sun. Highly recommend this place, we will be back.
Hats off to Pinky! This condo has any and everything you could possibly imagine. She has thought of everything & Exceptionally clean! We were flying in and didn't want to pack a pack n play and asked her if she had one and there was one waiting for us when we arrived. Resort is very nice! Kids enjoyed the play area. Best condo hands down! Pinkie is the best! 5 Star plus!!
Overall the condo and resort are great for families. My only complaint is I wish we would’ve been told prior there was going to be a massive teen church camp there (1200 teens)all week . We would’ve never booked this week had we known that. I had to grab out our little ones from multiple pool areas so they wouldn’t get trampled on, and we had to adjust our day schedule because of it!!! It’s just a lot of money to spend to then have to adjust what we wanted to do for teens!!! I think every family there felt the exact same!!!
Thank you for coming! Of course there is not a central reservation system here as multiple management companies have units here so there is no way to know. I do hope you will come back again soon. Pinkie:)))
Points faibles : Communication, exactitude de l’annonce
Beware of excpectations
Overall this property wasn't bad. The unit itself was clean and mostly in working order other than a few minor issues (missing cabinet pulls, etc.). The biggest disappointment for us was the expectation that the view from the unit would be the view in the very first picture of the listing. My wife, daughter, and I booked this unit purely for the view. We did not need a 2 BR with bunk room and foldout couch but paid more expecting a nice view from the balcony. In fact, the only view from the balcony directly overlooks the dumpsters and HVAC at the adjacent Hilton Garden Inn. Additionally, the HVAC is so loud, you can't enjoy the balcony. If you are looking for a room with a view, this is not it.
Thank you for your visit! Yes we do not market this as having a view. You can see the Gulf in the distance but not the beach. The great thing about this condo is the decor, location and the fact you are at the fabulous Waterscape resort! Pinkie:)))
Great 10 days
I did give it 5 stars due to it being end of season and the condos have a rough year. We usually come in June so everything is clean and new. This condo was perfect for what we needed. It was clean and comfortable. It does need some touch up and painting. Also needs some new supplies like a can opener and some cooking utensils. The view is decent but every am the hotel next door trash comes around 630 and is very loud. Again not pinkies fault. All in all we would stay again. Fresh paint and a day of repairs would make it perfect. This was our 8th trip to waterscape, we have stayed in alot of units and are considering buying one and this unit was top 3 for sure. I would maybe consider putting a electric skillet in condo also maybe a wagon. We had our own but all the others we have stayed in had them as well. For sure it's time for new cookware especially a can opener lol. Thanks again for a great 10 days.
Pros:
great condo complex with lots of wonderful amenities!
Great location!
Beautiful landscaping and decor of the condo.
Beautiful beach and we loved the scenery of all the sand dunes and water on our way to Destin.
Short drive to Destin which was great.
Cons:
The dishwasher was broken
The ice maker barely worked. It took the entire week to make a descent tray of ice.
Condo didn’t have a fully stocked kitchen like it claimed to have. It was lacking a few essentials if one wanted to truly stay in and cook. I didn’t have everything I like to use when I tried cooking breakfast in the condo.
Condo floors weren’t the cleanest.
Pool wristbands were the type you have to put on and leave on. (Not reusable if you take it off & not adjustable if you get it too loose or too tight) should’ve been a rubber wristband / bracelet style
(Largest Master bedroom) Mattress had a huge stain in the center of it like some one had previously spilled drinks on it
Thank you for this feedback. I will get in here and update the kitchen equipment right away. I do appreciate your visit and hope to see you again. Pinkie:)))
