Girls Get Away
We had a few friends get away for a vacation to Destin, FL. We had a fabulous time and enjoyed the condo. This property was easy to register upon arrival and departure. The condo was comfortable and had a full ocean view. We sat on the balcony when not on the beach. Wonderful trip!
Great stay
We took a girls vacation and had a fabulous time. The condo is comfortable with a full view of the beach from the balcony. The condo was ready when we arrived in town. Checking in was easy and quick. Check out was literally a click on the website. The sand was beautiful and so fine with such clear water. We were lucky to have perfect weather. It was a wonderful stay.
Great Views
Sundestin had a great location. I only had one issue a family staying for a week the washing got expensive. I wish they could put small washer and dryers in the units. Other than that it was perfect!!
We loved this place!
Even better than expected! Perfect size for a couple. Porch is spacious and the view is amazing. We loved it!
No elevator working at all for a day with people stuck inside the elevator for awhile, then only one continued to work for the last 4 days of our stay. When we left they were still not working. This SunDestin condo has 18 floors, we were on the 5th. They continued to keep renting the condos out under these conditions. This is a safety hazard and is very dangerous if anyone had a medical problem. Some floors also did not have water and but they could not leave because of the lack of elevators working. This condo has safety signs posted all over the condo but keeps renting with the most unsafe thing there can be which is none or only 1 elevator working. A text was sent out daily that the elevators will be repaired at 3:30 but we got the same text everyday. Also no personal beach umbrellas allowed which you found out when you login the portal after paying. You were forced to rent theirs which were extremely close together. I called to rent one and online it said all were reserved. We had to go to a public beach every single day. Also the Sea Store in the condo is advertised in multiple places as being open everyday 7 days a week but instead they are closed on Sundays. We just needed some coffee. I do have to say the staff who worked there were all extremely nice but I will never stay here again.
Beautiful and right in the beach
We had a great time and can’t wait to book again soon!
Clean room would recommend it anyone
Location was great
Room was very small but clean!
Great stay again! Love the location.
Guest Review
Our condo was very nice and clean and the location to the beach was so close. The view of the ocean from the balcony was beautiful to the ears and amazing on the eyes.
Upon check in, I wish the staff would have explained more thoroughly about how to use the keyless entry, rather than just hand you an envelope that had a picture inside of entering a card into the door. I wish they would have told me to push the pad, wait for it to light up, then plug in my code number, but instead the keypad kept defaulting to the number five until another guest advised me on how to open the door.
The people at the shop inside the complex were very friendly and had everything available that one could need.
Other than that, everything was excellent!!
Wonderful Stay But Constant Smelly Trash?!
We enjoyed our visit. With the continuing remodel of the facility, we had to tell the front desk almost every day that trash was being dumped on our floor in front of the elevators. With the heat, the smell was atrocious! They were quick to remove the garbage at the end of the day, but it was there to greet us the next day. This continued all week. You would think that there would be some way to alleviate this problem. Also, the noise level of those in rooms above us was on the extreme. I know that there is no way to rectify that, but when trying to relax on your vacation, it makes it more difficult. I would suggest bringing your own beach tent and chairs when visiting (unless you plan to purchase rentals). The beach is INCREDIBLE!!!

Everything was great except…
We enjoyed our stay away from home, however, we did have a few issues. With the ongoing remodeling, we stayed on the 5th floor and there was trash piling up in the hallway on the way from our condo to the elevators. After being in the heat all day, the smell was horrific! There was no way around it. Yes, I went to tell the front desk about it for the first three days of our stay. It was removed after my complaint, but we were welcomed with it again the next day (an unending battle). The noise above us left little relaxation in the afternoons. Also, there was one of the umbrella boys (working the resort beach) that couldn’t have been any more rude to us.
The stay was comfortable and lacked nothing!
Very Clean and Welcoming!
We had an enjoyable time! We stay here every time we come to Destin! Love it!
Updates
We enjoyed our stay and the staff was really nice but the entire building really needs a makeover!
N/A
Floors were warped and moved when walked on. Half bathroom door leading to the bedroom would not close all the way and the toilet seat wouldn't stay up for a male to urinate. The bathrooms in general need a bit of refreshing. One of the closet doors was off the hinge and resting on the other door. The kitchen light was very dim. The view from the balcony and the look of the kitchen were the best features of the condo.
Great location. Beautiful view!
Clean and comfortable with a gorgeous ocean view! Updated kitchen and decor.
Very peaceful stay
My car was scratched on the property.
Adorable or getaway
The property was clean with nice furnishings. The location was great with a beautiful view. We would definitely stay here again.
It was okay, I will look at other options next time.
The bathroom needs attention. Specifically the shower. The tv was an issue as well.
Not pleasant
The king mattress was AWFUL!! It was like sleeping on a water bed. The skillets were terrible! Everything stuck! Had to go buy coffee cups because they were so small!! Everything was glass! Couch and love seat looked dirty! No place to store luggage and the closet was almost nonexistent!
Great place to stay, helpful staff
Good: The staff was all very nice. We liked that we were able to bring our Easy-Up tent to put on the beach. There were a lot of places to hang wet towels and clothes. The view in this particular unit was awesome. The condition of the furniture, etc was good. It was nice to have 1.5 baths that were separated by a door. The water in the shower was nice and hot. The shop downstairs had just about everything and the staff was very helpful. It was nice to have a laundry on each floor. We had one small maintenance issue and they came very fast.
Needs improvement: The walls were very thin. We could hear everything going on in the unit above us. The air conditioning was not great. We ended up purchasing a fan at Walmart to keep in the bedroom. The refridgerator was not super cold. It kept the food cold enough, but it could have been better. It would have been nice to have instructions or some kind of information in the room. We had a lot of questions about different things that we kept having to ask the staff (they were helpful). The outdoor bar was closed because it was too hot (which is really when you need it to be open) so we had to keep going inside for drinks. The washer and dryer eat coins. It would be nice to digitize those so people could pay using a credit card and see when their clothes are ready or there is an available appliance.
Bottom line: We would definitely stay here again!
Room 0508
Clean room, excellent view, nice kitchen with adequate kitchenware, WIFI mostly unavailable in room, fast elevators.
