Loved the view and was a perfect room for my family

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: When you first walk in the view is undeniable. My family loved it and was very easy to make our way to the pool or beach. There was a lot of construction and painting going on while we were there but understand that it will look and be better when they are finished so it didn't affect or bother me as much as probably some of the other rooms that week. This is the third time we have stayed at Luau and I'm sure it will not he the last. We loved it ⛱️💯

Amazing Condo with the perfect view

Me and my 3 children stayed at this most beautiful condo. Everything was in walking distance or we took the shuttle to Baywarth. Perfect place for a family. The condo has a great Floor plan and everything like home. Even had an area to grill out and eat under the stars. I will defiantly be staying here next year.

Family vacation

The condo was amazing, very clean, and had fantastic views. The pool was dirty, the beach was super packed, and there didnt seem to be much on this particular complex. We were hoping to rent a golf cart, but couldn't find anything. Overall, it was a good stay, thanks to the views and condo itself.

Great location to the beach.

Wonderful stay in Luau 1 tower. Pool Area is beautiful my only complaint is that the king size bed was a little lumpy. I think the owners had a topper on the mattress and it bunched up in places. Otherwise the condo was a good size for 2 people.loved being on the 18th floor and the floor to ceiling windows gave a lovely view of the ocean.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Condo was nicely decorated and the view was Beautiful from every room! Loved the wrap around balcony. My only complaint would be that the rental company was not flexible AT ALL with check-in. There was no one in the unit before us yet that would not even allow us to check in an hour early. Overall the entire process was seamless, all codes worked perfectly. Thanks for a wonderful stay!!

It’s all about the view!

Over the years we have stayed in almost every property type at SanDestin. The entire property is idyllic, especially if you are a golfer. Luau property is the best “bargain” on the beach side. This unit has a great view and nice patio furniture. The condo was sufficient ly clean and kitchen items appropriate for a short term stay. The flooring is nice and I know has been replaced because original units had carpet. That is the only thing I would call a remodel. The cabinets are stained a ridiculous pink but they have no impact on the unit so who cares. I would not sit on the couch without covering it with a sheet. The couch and chairs were extremely worn. The sofa bed ancient and we had a set of sheets but no blanket was provided. The 2 area rugs in bedroom and living room in particular are worn and should be replaced. Living room rug had a huge stain. I state this because advertised as remodeled. No! Bed and bedding was comfortable enough. Ease in and of building was very good. For a very basic unit with a great view I would recommend it and stay there again.

Very Nice, Amazing Views x 4

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Our condo was very clean, the views were great, it was very walk in friendly. I liked that it had the rules on the wall and fridge so we knew what was expected of us & how it all worked. We had passes in our room for the pool & shuttle at our leisure. There was two restaurants on the beach within mins of walking from our room. I do have to say, the sliding door on the balcony you have to put your whole body into opening it & then some, it was extremely heavy. Parking was easy, lots of it, we rarely saw other people there. They have little comp kits they give you for the kitchen and bathroom. There is a washer and dryer in there, but the dryer had to be run 3-4x to dry a tiny load, even with min clothes, & a clean vent. We would definitely recommend it. They do have cleaning rules where you have to clean up before you leave and take out the trash which I found odd bc you pay a hefty cleaning fee to have that done. We left at 930am and there was a man and woman standing directly outside of our door waiting for us to leave, which was awkward, but they were nice. All in all, very clean, awesome views, would recommend.

Sandestin vacation

We had the best view from the 17th floor. One thing I would change on my part is to call and make sure the condo assigned to us had a walk-in shower. I requested it online but we had a very tall tub which she could not get in. This is what I have to do with hotels even though I request walk-in showers.

Gorgeous

At first, I was thinking that the pictures had to be photoshopped, but I was SO wrong. The view is AMAZING!!! The ONLY issues, and these are just me nitpicking, are that the blinds in the bedroom were broken (chain was lying on the floor) and it seems as though the dryer vent might need to be cleaned out, as the dryer had a hard time drying clothes from the washer. Other than those two VERY small issues, everything else was AMAZING. I just couldn’t believe that my family and I were able to stay at this beautiful condo, for what we were paying for a hotel with less accommodations. I want to thank everyone for allowing my family and I to stay at such an amazing place..it’s not too often that I can treat my family to something like this on a Firefighters’ salary. Thank you once again.

Love the Luau!

This condo was perfect for our family of four! The views from the 17th floor are breathtaking and the condo’s starter supplies/laundry are such a nice touch. This was our second year coming to the Luau and we love the whole package it offers - just a short walk to the beach, tram service to the Village and a super kid friendly pool. Will definitely make this our annual spring break spot!

Bait and switch

I selected a unit to rent, after payment was submitted I was informed that it was not available. A “comparable” unit was presented. It did not have the view I originally selected. I complained and other units were suggested by My Vacation Haven at a higher cost. Very disappointed.
