The best thing about this place was the pool. It was bigger than most in the Sandestin neighborhoods. The couch was hard as a rock and very uncomfortable to sit on - also has a big sticky substance in the middle like it was ripped and they glued it back together. The only internet available is for the whole Beachwalk Villa neighborhood, so we had trouble with that. The golf cart was great except that it was rusty and my son was holding on to the handle as we were riding and the whole handle came off. The upstairs floor and stairway creaks like crazy. Feels like it could give in any second.
The master bedroom is upstairs, so not waking up the kids in the morning was near impossible if you wanted to come downstairs and get a cup of coffee before they woke up. The master bedroom bed was extremely soft. The outside patio had a great view but you were literally right on top of someone else who might be sitting on their patio. Awkward. The master bath needs some TLC and a good coat of paint. Would not stay here again unless it was crazy cheap. We love the Sandestin area and have stayed on the other side of Hwy 98 many times. Thought we would try the other side for a change. This was not the place to stay. I understand it's a delicate balance....with so many renters its hard to keep things nice, but it seems as if they didn't start with quality. In addition, most of the places we have stayed in had a few things like salt & pepper, coffee filters, etc. This rental requires you empty out everything so we arrived and only had one trash bag, one bag of dishwasher soap, detergent for one load of laundry, one paper towel roll and very little toilet paper. We weren't expecting that the condo would come with everything we need obviously, but typically you'll find a few staples people leave behind. I had ordered groceries for pickup at the Walmart on 98. I had to add to my order 4 times before I picked it up so that we would have enough toilet paper, towels, etc for the whole week. It was a disappointing experience for the amount of money we paid to stay here.
