We had an amazing vacation in Destin and loved the unit! It was very clean, comfortable, and cute! The heated pool and hot tubs were great amenities. The beach was absolutely gorgeous and so close! We were able to watch sunrises and sunsets over the ocean. The location was very central to everything we had planned to do in the area. It was a perfect week and we can’t wait to come back!

We enjoyed our stay. It was nice and tidy. Easy access to the beach. It would have been helpful if there were some storage baggies and more toilet paper. I purchased more toilet paper and left it for the next occupants. Overall, we were pleased with our stay.

The relax was amazing. All liked it. A small note about the bed. The mattress cover is made of plastic film and the bed creaks. At the same time, my rating of the place will remain high.

Reviewer Comments:
Disappointed in the customer service and the deceitful description of the room location. It was described as being on the beach. It was close but you had to walk across the street with all beach accessories. We arrived early (check in time is 4:00PM) and asked if we could check in as soon as the room was ready. Response was that they would text me the code when it was ready. No problem--we spent the afternoon on the beach. By 330, still no text from them so i texted them to ask what room number so we could at least find the location. I was given the number and told they would text me the code when it was ready. We found it and parked in front of it. No one went in or out, yet it still was not "cleaned" yet. 4:00 still not ready --said it may be 5:00 because it had to be inspected. No one ever came. She then gave us the code. Couch was dirty/nasty. Toilet did not flush properly. Dilapidated back patio. Changed code to door without informing us making us late to our parasailing time. This was the only hiccup in our trip---and it was the most expensive.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We sincerely apologize for the frustrations you experienced during your stay as this is certainly not the standard of service we aim to provide.
We understand how disappointing it must have been to arrive early and not be able to check in sooner, especially after being told we would notify you when the property was ready. While check-in is guaranteed by 4:00 PM, we always do our best to accommodate early arrivals when possible. In this case, it is clear that our communication could have been better, and we are sorry for the confusion and delay.
We are also truly sorry to hear that the condition of the property did not meet your expectations. The cleanliness concerns, maintenance issues, and the unexpected change to the door code are unacceptable and will be addressed with our housekeeping and operations teams right away.
Lastly, we understand your frustration about the listing description. While the property is very close to the beach, we never intend to mislead and will review the listing to ensure it is as clear and accurate as possible going forward.
We truly regret that this impacted what should have been a relaxing and enjoyable getaway. We value your feedback and hope for the opportunity to provide a much better experience in the future.
Regards,
Benchmark Management
