back in this same room 10 years later

10 years ago my wife and I stayed at the SunDestin in room 1509 for the first time. This was our first time returning here in 10 years. The memories are priceless, and this property makes it a wonderful experience and memory

Great

There needs to be information presented about beach chair rentals during the reservation process. I didn't know you had to rent front row chairs weeks to months in advance. The stay was wonderful. My family had an outstanding time.

Amazing stay - rock hard bed.

This place is amazing. Super clean. Friendly staff. Great view. All the amenities and then some. Couch super comfy. Only downside is that the bed is super uncomfortable. Close cousin to a box spring. Everything else was amazing. Definitely would come back.

Great for a weekend stay!

Perfect location, great views. The only thing was that some of the towels had black smears on them. And the bed wasn’t comfortable at all. Very stiff and springy. The hot water in the kitchen sink didn’t work at all. Other than that, everything was great. Customer service is good, great location, food downstairs was good.

Room was excellent. The way that they block the entire beach off with the rental chairs is ridiculous. People with their own chairs cannot even set up near the water. Not everyone wants to rent those uncomfortable rental chairs. Probably wont stay here again because if this.

Not Good at All

Condo was dirty and not well maintained. The same goes for the overall condition of the property. The pictures on line were misleading, and did not reflect the overall run-down look of the Sun Destin at all! The best thing about this vacation was the friendliness of the staff. We will not be back!

Not what we were expecting…

Location a 10/10. Condo: 1/10The condo just FELT dirty. The mattress in the bedroom has literal huge holes/indentations in it from others who’ve slept in it. So uncomfortable we literally almost went and go an air mattress. No lights in the master bedroom, just a lamp? The shag carpet made me gag walking across it barefooted bc it was so dirty. The toilet attached to the bedroom was running nonstop. I felt like there should’ve been some kind of mat at the back door. Def a slipping hazard with children. The couch was stained and dirty. If you are counting on using the pull out bed—don’t. The mattress is so bad on it as well.Balcony doesn’t have a lot of room due to a huge air condition unit on it. The entire condo just felt cheap and ran down. The condo was under construction and we were given ZERO warning. We rented it with the splash pad amenities in mind as we have small children—it was closed and “under construction” the entire time. We heard Jack hammering the entire time through our stay. I feel like someone should’ve at least been upfront about the construction as a lot of the other guests were complaining along with us.Just being transparent so it can maybe help the owners or any future renters.

Cleanliness

We enjoyed our stay but I would not stay at this particular condo in the future. I’m super picky about cleanliness but there were a few things that could have been better cleaned. There was something dripping in the fridge that looked like rust. There was something like a bread crumb in the ice trays in freezer. And a roach crawled onto the couch one night. The condo itself was a little outdated in certain areas. The beach view was beautiful. Watched several dolphins from the balcony each day!

Amazing View!

There was a lot of difficulty getting the living room TV to work the first night. Called concierge desk at about 8 PM, but never got a call back. Next morning we finally got it to work. One of toilets didn't flush well. Would be nice to have more comfortable patio chairs. We brought a couple of our own because we don't like the high top chairs. I was surprised that the concierge wasn't familiar with the dolphin cruise we booked on our own through Tripshock on the Seaquest. It is the best deal for dolphin watching.
