I've been coming to the Destin, Santa Rosa area for twenty years and this is the worst accommodations I've ever had. On entering the condo the floors were dirty, someone had swished a dirty mop over the tile. We were excited to get in, I thought I could live with it. Things progressed from tolerable to awful. My daughter and her husband had chewed gum in there sheets, they found this early morning Sunday. We found dirty popsicle sticks under the couch, cobwebs in every corner. All of the towels had to be washed before we could use them because of a strong smoke smell on them. None of the three toilets were secure to the floor — one didn't work at all. The drain in the hall shower was full and wouldn't drain. Sand was in the cabinets — there wasn't a dish I used without cleaning it first. (how does sand get in the cabinets?) The furniture is old and stained. I expect to sweep sand off of the floor as we all come in from the beach daily, but I've never had to vacuum a place that I stayed in on day two, but this place I did. I did call Dune Realty. She was very apologetic and I did get a refund for my cleaning fee. I was told I should have called immediately on my arrival. I didn't know all of this stuff was wrong when I first came in, and I did call on day 2 (Sunday). I did not want people coming in once all of our stuff was in this condo. I refused to be inconvenienced anymore than I'd already been.
The access to the pool and beach was perfect. The pool and outside shower area were pristine.
Family and friends were staying in other units in the Villas and their condos were lovely. I love this area, I"ll do more research on my rentals from now on.
