I want to leave a fair review, both for the host and for future renters. This place has so much potential. It is roomy enough for 6 people, in a great location, with access to the canal, pools, and an awesome community beach. The location is convenient to a lot of places, but noise was an issue for sleeping on the first night. The condo itself needs maintenance (electrical outlets loose/not working, shower head, faucet handle, closet handle, and thermostat loose/falling off, toilet tank very slow to fill, door off sliding track, blinds that won't close). Thankfully, my husband and I are handy and we were able to address the issues enough ourselves in order to continue with our stay. There are also items that need to be replaced or thoroughly cleaned. The couches and recliner are dirty/stained and the recliner was so stinky and dingy that we did not want to sit in it; we sprayed it with freshener and covered it with a blanket. The sheets and towels smelled clean but needed to be replaced due to stains. We attempted to address the concerns in a very polite way with the host, not knowing if he was aware or not, but he never replied to our message about the problems.Overall, we enjoyed our stay in Destin but felt that the place should have been better maintained and much nicer for the money paid.
