SunDestin Resort Unit 0111 — Guest Reviews

Great family vacation! My family and I enjoyed our stay at this resort. The only gripe we had was that there was no washer and dryer in the unit. We had to go upstairs and pay to use the one on the 2nd floor. The unit seemed a bit outdated -- sofa and cushions seemed somewhat old, damp and unclean. Other than that, this 1st floor unit was pretty convenient and decent for the price.

Perfect condo for young kids! You can't pick a better location if you have young children! The patio walks right out to the splash pad, indoor(heated)and outdoor pools, and outdoor hot tub. I could sit on patio and watch my kids play on the splash pad. Beach access is steps away and carrying all our stuff with 3 kids this was a must and you can't beat being close for lunch and bathrooms. The DVD rental actually was nice and we were able to watch several great movies. The king bed was very comfortable but the pull out sofa is what it is, so keep that in mind. We stuck the small kids on it so not too bad, although my 10yo complained. Do bring a blanket if you plan to use the sofa and thankfully we brought one. Plenty of towels, enough tp and paper towels for us but no seasonings at all(not even salt and pepper). Front staff was able to give me a handful of those tiny packets in disposable silverware. There are S&P shakers so I'd recommend that the management fill those at least a little. Dish soap and dish washer detergent are provided along with a packet of laundry detergent but the laundry is not free, it's on site coin operation. You can walk across the st to chick fil a, shake place, and surf shop. Drivable and close to lots of restaurants, shopping, groceries, Walmart. We had a random fluke of an accident with a glass baking dish from the condo exploding and this could have been very serious but thankfully my husband was only minimally hurt and staff seemed very concerned. They even called to check after we left. Oh and I'd recommend management getting a new dust pan since the one provided is very cracked and makes cleaning sand up difficult. Also if you having trouble sleeping with any light then bring a mask as the bedroom window is facing the hallway with a light on all the time. There are blinds and curtains and we were fine but just fyi. And I recommend a sound machine if people in the hallway bother you also(very minimal sounds but some people get up super early). The rest of the condo we couldn't hear any neighbors or anything. I would definitely stay here again.

Older resort The room was great for a five year old with pool and splash pad right at patio. Beach access 50 feet away. Left items on patio undisturbed. The king bed was comfortable. The sofa and love seat had few stains,, asked for extra sheets to cover with,, no problem.. kitchen clean and well equipped.Ladies at gift shop were outstanding. However, best of all we left four pair of shoes there, one being grandsons brand new pair of vans and they were found by house keeper, turned into desk. Called and they were more than happy to help me retrieve the items, Bryant being one, but big thanks to house keeper, do not have that persons name. Over all, it was not fancy but it was totally comfortable, the bath towels smelled great.

I’ll start with the good. Location, first floor, walk out directly to beach, and ease of getting to the condo was perfect. The bad: I called Scenic Stays at 4:42PM and they stated they didn’t have ANY availability. I looked the night before and the condo showed available for $300 less. If they didn’t book same day reservations, the representative should have said that. I then went on Airbnb and it showed that they indeed did have the same condo available and I booked it at 5:24PM. There is tons of water damage and throughout the condo. There appears to be mold in the bathroom. From the ceilings to the floor, there needs to be some maintenance done. Furniture was sketchy/stained and needs to be replaced. Some of the baseboards were missing in the kitchen and the “fix” was running chicken wire where the baseboards go.

Positive: The best thing about unit 111 was that it was on the first floor. The bed in the master was comfortable. All kitchen appliances were in working order. Would be great if one could lock the gate on the patio - then it would be a little more comfortable leaving through that door to go to the beach. Negative: The unit is badly in need of sprucing up - water damage in the bathrooms: the door, baseboards, cabinets. This could be solved by using leftover floor tiles as baseboards - this would withstand future wear and tear. Doing this throughout the condo would make for a more pristine look as well. It would be great if the shower were larger - a curved shower rod would make a big difference - eventually a larger walk-in shower would be a big selling point. I'm 4'11" and there was no elbow room! That's where the towels should be and they're having to be stored underneath the sink! Not a typical nor good place to keep clean towels. If there were shelves in the bathroom closet, it would be perfect for the towels - as of now it is wasted space. In master bedroom, one more curtain panel would prevent light in the hallway from seeping through. (I saw this was an issue in an online review too.) The kitchen cabinets near the stove/oven have heat damage. The TV in the living room is too complicated! Had to get the front desk guy to figure it out... it would help if the boxes under the TV were labeled - but even after the front desk guy helped, we quickly fell back to square one with a fuzzy screen - very frustrating - just get an easy TV (btw, LG's are a poor choice!) Also, the bedroom TV fell into the negative category as well. It worked all week but on the last night, wouldn't work. We talked to the front desk about both. We almost didn't choose this room because of how it presented online... I'm just being honest because the fact that this room is on the first floor is a major plus and you need to cash in on it! You have a gem here! We've been staying at the SunDestin for 25 years and this is the first time we stayed on the first floor and absolutely enjoyed it! We viewed your unit as not one of the nicer ones just from online pics ....

We had a wonderful stay! The resort was beautiful, and the views were absolutely amazing. Everything was easily accessible, and having the beach located directly behind the resort was definitely the highlight of our trip. The property is very family-friendly, making it a great choice for those traveling with children. The hosts were incredibly friendly, responsive, and answered all of my questions in a timely manner. I would highly recommend staying here and would gladly return in the future.

Didn’t stay after checking in and seeing property. Positive: Did not stay checked out immediately. Because of renovations. Negative: The renovations, the furniture inside the unit wasn’t clean. The bathroom shower curtain had rust from the shower curtain hooks, the a.c for the unit was on the balcony so you couldn’t enjoy being on the balcony, and my unit was in front of the work area of contractors doing the renovations, I would see them cutting lumber and prepping not enjoyable.

Fantastic Very relaxing

No Splash Pad and not clean When we arrived we had to ask why the splash pad wasn’t on and Managament informed us the parts had been sent out and they had no idea when they would be returned. The room was covered in sand before we even went on the beach. From your knees down the place was dirty and not well maintained. There is also a window to the hallway in the bedroom with a giant light right next to it. Even with the blackout curtains it looks like a tv is on in the room permanently from the amount of light.

Dolphins everyday Super clean, every employee we talked to was kind and helpful, clean rooms, and quiet. The only complaint we had was the splash pad was broken. Excellent place to stay!!

Destin Florida Best stay in Destin fl and enjoy it every time we visit

Overall okay The location of the room is perfect. Upon arrival it appeared the floors had not been vacuumed. I understand that you are at the beach, but having a vacuum handy to attempt to rid the floors of sand would be nice. Or a rug of some sort by the sliding doors. The hot tub was closed the majority of the week which was a big disappointment. The indoor hot tub just doesn’t have the same relaxing appeal as the outdoor one.

Great stay The stay and condo were great. Condo could use some upgrades and the splash pad could use an upgrade. Some of the water features weren’t working.
