the condo overall was ok and the view was excellent, but really needs better furniture that was more comfortable. Kitchen chairs are metal, and the other furniture isn't much better. Never could figure out how the smart tv worked, but we weren't there to watch tv so that was not really an issue worth asking about. Bathtub is very high to step into the shower, really is a safety hazard, it really should be converted to a shower. I am 6 ft tall and gouged my knee the first time I used it. The building itself needs a complete renovation and it really shouldn't be open in the process. The pool/splash pad area is very old and outdated, the wooden stairs to the ocean were being worked on while we were there and the landscape is not maintained much around the property. When you walk down the front walk, tiles are loose and everything is just very old looking. The pictures must have been taken when everything was first done years ago. We had a great time in Destin, but definitely wouldn't recommend with how it all looks now.
Hi Angie - I am so disappointed to read your review! You never contacted me during your stay with any issues and we thoroughly communicated with you that the building was under construction. We have one of the nicest and most updated condos in the building with very nice furniture - it may not be your taste, but you are the first guest to ever complain about it. I am constantly updating the condo and always choose very nice furniture! The fact that you are tall and bumped yourself on the bathtub is not a safety hazard - we have a bathtub as we host a lot of families with small children who love our soaking tub. You could have chosen a condo with a walk-in shower if you need that for your particular needs and height. I also leave both TVs turned on and set to cable so that I can know that each guest is able to watch cable tv - inputs are always changed by other guests. I would have been glad to help you with any tv issues - we also have a one page document in the condo on how to operate a SMART TV for any guests who may not be familiar with SMART TV operation. Our building is in the midst of a renovation which was noted on the listing, and we reduced our rates by 20% to reflect that inconvenience for all of our guests during construction dates! Sundestin is one of the most popular rental destinations in Destin - having an onsite bar/grill and the "Sea Store" makes for such an easy and relaxing vacation and our prime central Destin location can't be beat! For any future guests reading this review, please take it with a grain of salt - rest assured you are booking an updated, beautifully furnished, clean, and very comfortable condo for your hard earned beach vacation!!!
