Destin, husbands annual fishing trip

Lovely area. Nice condo. Rooms 2& 3 were very small. Traffic was a nightmare getting in and out. Ants were a major problem in the kitchen, upstairs bathroom and in the bedroom with twin beds. Reported the ant problem but never received an answer.

Vaca with ants

We’ve stayed at this location before but not this particular unit. It needs an upgrade! That’s not what bothered me though. We had ants in our condo basically the whole time. We had to throw out a full box of donuts and other items that were covered in ants. We also had ants in the bathrooms. I believe it took 2 days to get someone out there. No our knowledge no one ever came inside to spray, only outside. I was told I could buy some spray and do the inside.

It was ok

First off this condo is not beach front. 10-15 minute walk to beach. There were ants in upstairs bathroom. Centipedes all over downstairs floor. Master bedroom floor had something spilled coming from under bed so clearly not mopped. Air doesn’t cool good. The condo is nice and comfy stay other than what’s listed above

Thrift Store

This townhouse is in a great location with good access to the beach. Pool is really big and nice. The townhouse does not have a strong enough air conditioning system to reach the top floor with the bedrooms so you have to go to sleep sweating. The entire house is filled with disgusting furniture from a thrift store. Couches are sticky and beds are uncomfortable and incredibly old. We had a colony of ants on the trash that was left outside of our place when we arrived and ended up with two cars full of ants after they parked in front on the first night. I wanted to leave early. This place should be gutted and renovated. Not acceptable.

Destin Stay

Overall it was a nice stay. A negative for us was that the beds were uncomfortable and I wish there was a TV in the master bedroom. It was slightly outdated but we didn’t go to Destin to sit inside :) the walk to the beach was not bad but further than I thought. Overall I gave it a 4/5 because some of what I am saying is my perspective and others may disagree.

Great location but has some flaws

Great location to the beach and plenty of space for your whole family. The number one issue we had was, the beds were awful. So uncomfortable, almost seemed broken in the middle of multiple beds to where you were sleeping on a hill or on the lump that made the hills. If they improve the beds...it would be awesome.

We stayed in this complex, different unit, last year and had a good experience. It is located in a good spot for beach, and activities for my grandchildren.This year we stayed at this unit and was dissapointed. Master bedroom mattress is really bad, all vinyl floors had been vacummed but never washed. The kids feet were black after just a short time. Mildew in washing machine and dishwasher.

Made a Switcheroo

The ratings and review are not for the property we originally booked, but for a different property. We were disappointed with the original location, but upon arrival the host graciously allowed us to switch to a different property, which had a nice view of the small bay and was much closer to the beach. The unit was well appointed and we enjoyed our stay.

The place was clean, some items not available as stated, location was further from beach then expected, it lacked your general spices, coffee, etc., and for short stays, that's a lot to purchase, forces you to eat out more. It was a good location to dining and other shopping.
