The only reason I didn’t give 5 stars for condition is because it’s under remodel.

Disliked: Cleanliness
There was black mold in the air vents. Made me very sick which put a huge damper on the whole vacation. We could smell the mustiness they tried to cover up with room spray when we first walked in. I reported the mold to the front desk and they were able to move us but we had to move twice. I contacted management afterwards to provide more detail and to make sure the issue was being addressed. Haven’t heard back and it’s been weeks. We will not stay here again.

Perfect condo for a Long Beach weekend. Walking distance to plenty of restaurants. Beach was gorgeous & the condo was great! Well decorated with upgraded kitchen. Ice maker was a bit noisy though

If we had been better directed we would’ve walked all through a construction zone trying to find our room.

Nice Stay

While the building is older, the unit was very clean and updated décor. The people at the registration desk were nice and friendly. The reason for the 4 star rating for guest service is I tried to call, "00" twice to ask a question about a laundry room, no one ever answered.

Great stay!

The owners should probably get better bedding for the master. It was a little…. Scraggly? The description should also include that the condo is beach side with a view. We were very pleased!

Fabulous stay

We had an amazing time. I can't think of anything to complain about. If we were not moving to Florida in a month, we would come back. But we are going to tell our friends about your condo. It was beautiful. And Scenic Stays is a well-oiled machine. Very smooth process.

Just as pictured

The unit is spacious, nicely decorated and has two entries to the balcony L/R and B/R. Lots of natural light. A/C works great! Gift shop is a big plus. Cons: needs new dishwasher and sofa cushions are stained, but I will stay again as those items can be fixed.

SunDestin Condo

We had a great stay. The only thing I would recommend is that the listing says it sleeps 4 people however this is only one room in this condo and there may be a disclaimer somewhere on the website stating this but I must have missed it. Other than that, everything was exceptional.

Very nice

The condo was clean and beautiful. Love the beach decor! Front desk staff were very friendly and accommodating. Only thing I would recommend changing is to have shade options or umbrellas by the outdoor swimming pool. We did not use it due to extreme heat and zero shade options. Aside from this disappointment, I would recommend staying at Sun Destin! Thank you!

I misunderstood

I previously wrote a review saying this wasn't the property advertised but it was. The mirror made it look bigger and different. The property was perfect! Kyle, the desk clerk, was so professional and helpful. I would stay again. I did think the property was oceanfront from the advertised picture, but it was still nice being able to see the ocean from an angle.

The view was amazing. Very nice condo. I’d prefer a laundry room over a 1/2 bath. the condo staff do a great job of cleaning common areas and public restrooms! Change machine was out for doing laundry. (Should be included). The condo fees were as high as the room rate

Good

The location didn’t match the picture as advertised as far as the condo and view go, it was a completely different condo which was the reason I booked the condo I. The first place. . Kyle, the front desk guest services, was amazing. The keys stopped working x2, but Kyle finally fixed that. Overall, it was a great place to stay. Kudos for having a blender, cork screw, and baking ware. Do need different dish soap.
