Loved our stay with Scenic Stays!
We had such a wonderful time on our trip to Destin with Scenic Stays! It was clean, staff was helpful and friendly and we loved having a pool, hot tub and being beachfront. The condo/hotel offered amenities and we were close to so many good restaurants and activities. Great place for kids and families! Would stay here again :)
This experience was horrible We were expecting to relax Instead we had to worry about not being able
Positive: I REALLY DID NOT LIKE ANYTHING ABOUT YOUR RESORT. The first person we saw was very rude, Our room Smelled of smoke, the commodes would not flush, The floors were sandy, and I'm not sure the sheets were clean The view was disgusting Shall I go on?? Oh also the door wouldn't lock we had to do it numerous times to get it to LOCK. I called downstairs and complained She informed me that I get what I get when I order throughbooking.com. She would get back to me which never happened
Negative: You need a whole new management system I run a business I would never treat my clients the way I was treated. I paid nine hundred and seventy Dollars for four days. I expected better I expected to at least be accommodated a little bit or come to a mutual agreement as to what could have been done None of that was done as I Said when I asked what we could do we could switch rooms she said no probably not but she would check into it and then she informed me that when you book with booking dot com you basically get what you get I was told we had a Washer and dryer of course there was not one. The commodes would not flush it took them at least three hours before they would finally flush the water was lukewarm cold when we took a shower Is the most disgusting place I've ever stayed in. And to have no one help us was ridiculous. You don't have to worry about us coming back I won't find us a different place That will at least be accommodating which you are not. When you tell somebody you get what you get that's pretty bad And when you promise to call them back and you don't that's even worse
Amazing would definitely come again.
Positive: Loved that the pools were right by the beach. Also loved that the rooms faced the beach.
Negative: Honestly I had the best time. The only thing was when booked the photos showed an inside pool but that is now a second outside pool.
Great Beach, But Be Aware of a Few Hiccups
SunDestin Resort boasts a stunning backdrop of the Gulf of Mexico, and overall, we had an enjoyable stay despite a few inconveniences.The property is currently undergoing construction, but for the most part, it didn’t interfere with our experience. However, parking was a bit of a challenge. At check-in, we were informed that we would need to use overflow parking due to the resort being at full capacity. While the front desk staff said this was noted on the website, we had booked several weeks in advance, and that update wasn’t posted until just a few days before our arrival. We did receive an email about the parking situation, but it arrived at 4:30 PM—about half an hour after check-in time.Getting to and from our room was also occasionally frustrating, as one of the elevators was out of service during our stay. That said, the lobby and surrounding areas were clean and well maintained.The highlight of our trip was definitely the beach. The shoreline was beautiful, and the chair rental service was incredibly smooth and hassle-free, thanks to the friendly vendor staff. All in all, I would recommend SunDestin if you’re aware of a few ongoing issues—limited parking, construction, and a more hotel-like setup rather than a traditional condo experience. The beach and views make it worth it, especially if you go in knowing what to expect.
A lovely condo with beautiful views of the Gulf. Even with construction going on in the building (we were informed before booking), our stay was quiet and undisturbed by noise. The condo was every well equipped with everything needed for a wonderful week's stay. Some suggestions would be to bring a rubber mat for the tub if slipping is a concern, and a pair of kitchen scissors, otherwise all was provided. We would stay again.
Enjoyable Stay
We enjoyed our stay and plan to return in the future. We loved how uncomplicated things were.
Beautiful view!
The resort is super clean and smells amazing every time I walked in.
GREAT GETAWAY
Loved everything about our condo. It was by far the quietest one I've ever stayed in. Extremely clean and comfortable! Whether hanging out in the condo or the beach, the amenities were outstanding. Definitely recommend!
Just as photographed!
This was a great experience. Greeted by an awesome view upon entry. The place was very clean and adequately equipped with towels and wash cloths.
The kitchen was also a plus! Overall, great experience!
Amazing
Book it you won’t regret it! Property & Staff are wonderful.
Our room was clean and over stocked with linens.
Cute but lacking a few details
Condo furnishings were super cute. You could tell it was recently renovated with new flooring. The new paint looked to be thrown on the walls in a rush. I would suggest more throw rugs especially at the entrance and sliding doors. Also needs fixtures to hang hand towels at both bathroom sinks. The hot water heater was turned very low but maintenance came quick and changed the setting for us so we could get hot showers.
Nice property, convenient to everything!
Nice property, convenient to everything, the boardwalk restaurant is within walking distance from the beach. It was nice to hang at the beach then go for a drink and a snack. My only recommendation would be to replace the mattress. We enjoyed our stay 😊
Destin vacation
The property was fine, my only two complaints were all the fees for the room, makes the room rate look reasonable then bam a ton of fees for a 3 day stay. My other complaint was the chairs that you have to rent on the beach, just seemed like an additional expense for a beach you are already paying for. Other than that it was a great place and will probably stay again.
Was very good
Loved it
