Hi Craig, Thank you so much for sharing your experience with us. It is so great to hear you enjoyed your stay at Luau. We look forward to welcoming you back and wish you safe travels!
My husband and I are recent empty nesters and needed to just get away for a little while. This property is small but perfect for a couple. We enjoyed being able to see the ocean from our room. The owners communicated well with us and overall it was a very nice stay!

I had an overall great experience. I wish an early check in would have been available because we had to wait at the pool for 4 hours before I could check in. We got on the road early because it was an 11 hour drive from us. But other than that it was a beautiful room with a great view.

Communication prior to arrival was great. The App was extremely helpful during our stay. Pool was awesome and they did a nice job of ensuring only guests were using the pool. Parking was easy and plentiful. Rental was very clean and updated. Would have liked a toaster and a bigger coffee maker. Window blinds were difficult to raise and lower. Overall a very nice stay and we would rent again.

Clean room, communication is lacking
Property was very clean and tidy with a large mini fridge, great view also. The property originally stated it had a balcony, which after booking I called and inquired and they said it did not have a balcony. Also, there was a sticker on the mirror in the bathroom that said if you want clean towels, put them in the floor and they will bring new ones. After inquiring about that, we were told if we wanted clean towels we had to wash them. Also wasn't told we had a "trash chute" or the location of it or that the ice machine was in another building. Great room over all just big lack of communication with guests.

Just a few things to consider
We enjoyed our stay and it was the perfect size for my son and I who were in town for a baseball tournament. I wish I had known a few things before arriving though.
First, a note telling guests that they should bring a roll of quarters for the laundry room would be great. I ended up going to the bank to get a few rolls and helping other guests out since there is no change machine.
Secondly, I also wish I knew that the tv was old and needed a fire stick. We could not watch Netflix or Amazon Prime which was disappointing. It was not a smart tv and was very limiting.
Additionally, the room does not have a balcony or living room and is a studio. Which I knew before booking but the photos suggest otherwise and could be tricky for those booking. Not sure why they opened the other condo in the photos.
Communication was wonderful once we arrived but prior to arriving messages through VRBO are not addressed. I had a few questions and a month went by with no response. Contact them through the rental agency as I do not think they check their VRBO messages.
Also, note that San Destin amenities are not included. My son was disappointed that he could not use the free weights at the big gym or the tennis courts. The tennis courts are also never lite at night. We love playing in the evening at other resorts so not having access wasn’t as heart breaking.
The only closet is very cluttered and we could hardly fit one suitcase in. It would be nice if it were organized in a way that makes it usable for guests.

Anna, we are sorry for the confusion about the room--you're right that the studio doesn't offer a balcony. Some rooms are what's called lockout suites, and guests that rent both the studio and the adjoining unit may have a balcony. The separate studio, listings, though, as you noted, don't list a balcony as an amenity. We understand the inconvenience related to the TV beeing a little more outmoded, and we think your suggestion to note in the listing or prior to your arrival that quarters are needed for the laundry would be helpful. We will look further into that because it's a good idea. We know there was some confusion with the amenity card and that your son was disappointed to not have access to certain features. The small gym at the Luau was accessible, but we understand that's not the same as what he'd been hoping for. Thank you for the suggestion about organizing the closet. There is only one in this unit, but having the required materials in there organized as neatly as possible might make it feasible for guests to store two suitcases. We hope that you otherwise had a really nice visit. We love that the room was the perfect size for you and your son, and we hope he did a fantastic job at his baseball tournament. Let us know when you plan to travel again--we will be here to help you find what you're looking for in your getaway experience!

It took over 45 mins to get the door to unlock. I tried the code on the unit beside my and it worked. That was not safe for the people staying in that unit as I could have stole everything from them. My code didn’t work and your customer service could not figure it out. Horrible experience

Thank you for making us aware of your experience, Nicholas. Next time, feel free to let us know about issues when they arise; we would have been more than happy to help you resolve this issue when it arose. We are glad that it apparently resolved and that you hopefully had an otherwise perfect stay!
We're so sorry you were disappointed, Cynthia. There are few things worse than a vacation not going the way you had planned or hoped, and we're so sorry that you were frustrated during your stay. While we can't control the building staff or their washers/dryers, we have issued you a cleaning fee refund for the inconveniences you had during your trip. This home is lovely and we hope you were able to enjoy some of your stay.
The room was clean and remodeled. I loved the view from the large window and the proximity to the beach. The beds were soft and comfortable. Parking in the garage was also very convenient.
Sadly, the fan/ overhead light did not work and so the place was dim at night.
Overall, I would recommend staying in this unit!

Closeness to the beach and a view - this is what we love about this vacation home, too! We'll pass along your compliments to the homeowner; a soft, comfy bed is such a vacation necessity, and we're glad you found that here! We have already passed along the maintenance issue you mentioned to the property manager; thank you for bringing it to our attention. We look forward to your next trip to the beach.
We are sorry to hear the elevator wasn't working properly during your stay but hope this didn't deter too much from the beauty of the Gulf. If you are looking to forgo that amenity, reach out to us when you are ready to book again, and we can find you a rental sans elevator! Overall, we hope you had a great trip and look forward to hosting you again soon! Until then, be well!

Review of Luau 7102
There was no balcony on the condo. I think that is something that should definitely be in the listing. Highly recommend renting a car because you cannot get an Uber. There is a tran to take you through the resort but you are limited to shopping and dining. Food was very expensive and low quality for what I would expect for Sandestin. I would recommend a place that offers a golf cart as if it does not come with your property you cannot rent one. I sent several messages during my 4 night stay and am still waiting on response for 2 of them. Communication is not great or basically nothing. Room was decent for the price and walking distance to the beach. However was not as pictured. There was no wall hangings nor was there comforters on our beds and no balcony which is one of my favorite parts of a room. Pool was very nice and beach was gorgeous but very crowded. Keep in mind even though it states private beach it’s private for EVERYONE staying in Sandestin. Overall next time I would stay somewhere different and rent a car.

Loved reuniting with my dear friends from childhood!!! We were just a short walk from the bluest of blue water and as always the most beautiful white sand in the World! Our room was perfect. We had one mishap with our bathroom sink draining but was fixed within a few hours! Can't wait for our next reunion!
