The only thing that I wasn’t pleased with was check out time was way too early 9am. Specially when we can’t check in earlier than 4. I would probably not stay here again just because of that.

Stayed 8 nights in Mar 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Candace J. 7 Mar 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### 10 Days in Destin offseason The property is awesome. We VRBO exclusively over hotels for long stays more than two nights. The location, views , and property were great. I feel that there were a few minor issues that could easily make a real good experience great. We flew into Destin and had bags to accommodate 10 days. The property had no beach towels, beach chairs , umbrellas, coolers or anything such as a frisbee or football to enhance the beach stay. We bought towels and laid out but could have stayed longer at the beach with some protection from the sun. No cooler?! These are things that we have taken for granted at other homes. The property is extremely high end and better than the photos but the windows didn't open in most rooms and the ones that did open didn't stay open. Traveling in February, evenings are perfect with an open window versus air conditioning. Although the property sleeps eight there were only two forks in the silverware drawer! We only needed two but found it odd. The pool and " sauna" are outdated and need attention. In fact , the sauna was listed as out of order for the majority of our stay. The property owner or renter in the condo above the unit we rented seemed to stomp around and it was very loud all day and night. Didn't bother me but was extremely noticeable. We loved our stay but may look at other options when we return. ##### Candace J.

Perfect location. Responsive and professional property management. The unit was clean with a couple of exception for which property management took care of one. One chair in the living room had food stains on it for which housekeeping apparently missed. The other incident was urine on the kids bedroom carpet for which property management took care of. Not sure why someone would urinate on the carpet especially when the place has 3 full bathrooms. Overall a great experience and would definitely stay at the property again. ##### Steve H.
