Great home for dog and relaxation

This home is in a nice quiet neighborhood and is close to the beaches. The fenced in yard was perfect for our dog. The photos were accurate. We will rent again.

Fort Walton

Was a good place to stay with the family, only issue I had was in the listing the driveway looked bigger that what it is but was still able to park two trucks in just took some maneuvering. Had a issue with the ac and the property manager was there within 30 minutes and fixed the problem.

Thank you for staying. The batteries in the thermostat died, so a quick change and AC was functional again. You can also open the garage and put a car inside, if it will fit.

Great Surprises

Very nice condo with fenced in yard (important for our small dog), one-car garage (great surprise), large common area (kitchen/living room/dining room) with like new appliances. Two bedrooms upstairs with super comfy beds and pillows (nice surprise again), nice linens and tons of towels (another great surprise)! Super helpful management staff (Carrie) who personally reset the TVs and internet for us. Nice neighborhood - very quiet street. We’d stay there again!

HI: This is surprising as we never received any communication from the guest about any issues at the condo. We recommend contacting us if you have any issues so we can address them.

Roach infestation - terrible

There are roaches in this property. Roaches crawling on the wall while we were sitting there watching TV. Roaches in the dishwasher when we opened it to clean the dishes. After the trip, I called the property manager before I left this review. He said he was aware of the roach problem but said I was only threatening him with a poor review to get money back. I told him to keep the money because anyone who tries to book this unit needs to know, this property is infested with roaches. If we were not in a desperate situation, we would have left. The master bed was trash, and forced you to sleep inverted. The kitchen cabinet knob fell off. The drawers in the fridge were all busted and falling out. For many years, I’ve used VRBO. This was my worst experience.

For future guests, the only thing accurate in this review is that this guest called me 5 hours after checkout and asked for a full refund before he leaves his review (in other words, he threatened a bad review if I didn't give him his money back). We have Terminix as professional pest control on this condo. They came out the next day to treat and inspect. They found two dead roaches under the fridge (yes, they looked everywhere) and nothing else. I had guests check in the same day this guest checked out so I asked them to report any activity as they might see a few due to the bait. They saw one in 5 nights, which after treatment is normal. As to the bed, I met the next guest at check in and asked them to lay in the bed. They told me that it was fine. I asked again in the morning and they said the same thing. As to his desperate situation (which I have no idea what that was as my understanding is he was on vacation), had he contacted me at all during the stay, I could have moved him to a different property if the problems were real. He only contacted me after he left. He also deleted his Vrbo profile. We stand by our properties. We give guests our phone number, which we answer 24x7x365 so we can help our guests and make it right, even if that includes a refund. Calling us after checking out does not give us the opportunity to make things right, so at that point there is nothing we can do.
