Would stay here again!

The condo was clean and accurately advertised. We most enjoyed the proximity to the beach and sitting out on the balcony in the mornings and evenings listening to the waves. The only drawback was that the downstairs bedroom TV was missing a power cord, thus was not functional- as referenced in past reviews. We figured our children did not need to be watching TV anyway... We would not hesitate to stay here again.

Worth the stairs

This little condo was cute and easy to access. The view from the balcony was amazing! There are A LOT of stairs both up to the condo and down to the beach. However, they were worth it for sure. This condo is close to everything you need, but it is not in the middle of all the crazy! We loved having less people around!

Beautiful View

Loved the view and location. Furniture is showing signs of wear. Downstairs bedroom carpet is stained and in need of a deep cleaning or replaced. The property is in need of a bigger bike rack as it was full while we were there. Would we book the property again? Yes.

A perfect place to relax

Other than the cold weather, which we knew would be a gamble going at the beginning of December, our week was wonderful. The condo was clean and just the right size for our family of 6. The kitchen is stocked with everything you need (besides food of course.) We wanted to explore Destin and PCB so the location was ideal for being between the two. Standing on the balcony watching sunrises & sunsets was amazing. Our kids loved it, too. We would definitely rent this condo again. The only negative was the dryer didn’t do a very good job and we had to run it twice before the load was dry.

The lack of little things counts

Always had good experiences with VRBO, except for this one. blame is with management co. We were at least warned there would only be one roll of toilet paper per bathroom, and no hairdryers. The toilet paper was not only limited, but of he poorest quality. Not a single salt and pepper packet, or sugar, or creamer, or coffee, or starter kit of laundry detergent. One TV never worked, and they didn't fix it. These basic amenities can be found at the cheapest motel rooms. For over $600 a night, we expected better service.

Beautiful view, water, beach

The good: Nice property that’s well kept and clean. The kitchen was very well stocked with all needed accessories, flatware, and serving dishes. Beautiful ocean view. Suggestions for improvement: some of the artwork is adult themed which had my little ones asking questions. Property management: Having made the reservation six months in advance with the property management group, we assumed any concerns would be addressed through property management. We had no special requests and made clear our intentions for visiting the area for a relaxing family vacation. Extending to the property management company the kindness of a request to stay with a 6 month notice, we assumed this same kindness would be extended to us.. Wrong. At 4:42 PM on the day before our stay, Best Beach Getaways called me requesting the ages of all occupants or else they would cancel the reservation in the next 18 minutes. They had six months to request this information (happy to share it with them) but chose to wait to the last 18 minutes with a threat of cancellation if I did not respond by 5:00 PM on a Saturday. Thankfully I was near my phone. Shame on you Best Beach Getaways! See the message I received below. For context, this was the first phone call I had ever received from them: “ This is (Redacted) from best beach getaways. I been trying to reach you about your reservation tomorrow that you have with us. I need ages for all adults and children before 5:00 today or I’ll have to cancel the reservation.” Again, I was happy to provide the information, but not under threat of cancellation after shelling out a great deal of money, requesting time off work months in advance, and packing for a week long stay.

Best birthday beach trip

We stayed 3 nights to celebrate my birthday. It was our first time to the area and we weren't sure what to expect. The condo was comfortable and not too small. All 6 of us fit well. My kids slept on the pull out couch, the top bunk bed was a little small for my 11 year old. The bathrooms were very nice and luxurious. We cooked many meals in the kitchen and it had everything I needed. The neighborhood was quiet and I felt very safe. The beach was beautiful and not crowded. Be prepared to climb lots of stairs. This was kind of a plus, it was like getting in a mini work out, going from the beach up to the 3rd level. Our parents had no issues, the stairs are solid, just a lot of them. There are many delicious restaurants and cafe's with in 10 minutes and Publix was nearby too. We would definitely stay again and would recommend it to family and friends.

Seacrest Vacay

The location is great - Between Seaside, Alys and Rosemary Beaches. The private beach for the condo only is fabulous. Beach is never crowded. Even on a holiday. I was extremely pleased with the price. The condo is exactly as the pictures shows. It would be nice if the patio furniture was bar top height as you could enjoy the view much better. I took one of the bar stools from indoors to the patio and enjoyed the view immensely. For the most part, we enjoyed our stay at this condo. The only problem I had was the downstairs bed and the sofa in the living room are not comfortable at all. After climbing all the steps from the beach and then to the condo - it would have been better to relax if the furniture was more comfortable. The downstairs bed squeaked when you made the slightest move and the mattress was not comfortable at all. The lighting in the downstairs bedroom was not bright at all either. Other than those items, I had no problem with this place.

Everything we expected

We knew going in based on other reviews what to expect. That expectation was ton of stairs,a slanted deck, and next to building was a public beach access. We went up and down everyday without issue, we spent a ton of time on the sloped deck, beach service attendant helped manage the beach area keeping kids and tents off to the side. The unit had great ceiling fans, beds were great, shower/water pressure was perfect, washer/dryer were brand new. We enjoyed our stay!

Great place except the balcony!

Had some check in issues with the door code not working and then when I went to get beach service I was told this unit did not have it (stated it clearly on listing. The office got the code working and even after calling and being told this unit didn’t have beach service, they attendant took care of the customer. The major issue I had was with the balcony!!! The slant is so bad I was afraid to walk and sit on it. The biggest part of the beach for me is being able to sit out in the mornings and at night on the balcony. This year I could not. The view was great from the doorway though. This really was a downer. The condo is nice though and set up well. The spiral staircase to the master loft is a bit tight but the master was great. Especially the bathroom. Fix the balcony and you will have a top spot!

We loved our stay. The only issue was checking in. Neither of the door codes worked and the customer no service that answered the phone was zero help. Need to have people that speak clear English on the other end of the phone. My husband finally was able to contact the property management for a new code but we stood in front of the door for over 30 minutes with out luggage in the heat.
