Ground Floor Pet-Friendly Condo, near Destin Attractions, with Chic Upgrades

We took a family vacation to Destin, FL and this is the property we chose. First time booking with VRBO so I didn’t know what to expect. I loved that the condo was very nice and spacious and how easy it was to check-in. I would absolutely stay at this property again. 10 out of 10 would recommend.

Awesome!

What a great stay! This condo was perfect, literally steps from the ocean and the beach bar. We enjoyed our stay and I would recommend this condo to anyone. Checkin was a breeze, nothing to do but show up and put the code in. The condo was clean and up to date, the best were comfortable. Zero complaints.

This was our first experience as snowbirds. Although the description of the condo uses the words, "Chic Upgrades", don't be fooled. The furniture is very worn and the appliances are used - a shelf in the fridge is broke, the timer on the oven doesn't light up, so you need to use your phone for a timer, and the dishwasher doesn't clean the dishes well. The bed frame has a masking tape sticker showing that the frame cost the owners $50 from a rummage sale, I assume. There are lamps and accent tables that are in very good condition. Finish is peeling off of the bedroom furniture. We had read the reviews of previous guests and it was clear that their comments weren't taken seriously by the owner or the cleaning people. When we arrived, the shelves in the refrigerator had not been cleaned and one was broke. The countertop and table needed to wiped of dried on spills. Dishes and pots were dirty and it seemed that they had been put through the dishwasher, but that the dishwasher wasn't doing an effective job at cleaning the dishes. We opted to hand wash the dishes we used. When I went to use a pot and skillet, most of the teflon was flaking off which is a health risk. We made a trip to the store and purchased a pot and a skillet and a few cooking utensils. For the exorbitant amount we paid for one month, we should not have had to do this. The screen door to the patio was leaning up against the window and my husband worked on it to get it back on the tracks and in place. We called the property management company, but they were indifferent and offered to send someone over, but I was no longer confident that the people working for them know how to clean and I didn't want strangers in the unit when we weren't there. The best thing this property has going for it is location to Miramar Beach. We learned a lot this year and learned that the company we chose to rent through allows for inaccurate descriptions and cost almost double of what a local property management company would charge. We plan to come back to Miramar Beach next winter, but have reserved a newly remodeled condo with new furniture and kept meticulously. We look forward to coming and paying just slightly more for two months as what we paid for one month this year. Unfortunately, I feel really taken advantage of using this company.
