  The property owner seems young and inexperienced.

  The location was okay. Had the weather been better it would have been more ideal. But it rained three of the four days we stayed so we just accepted that we were going to be wet.

  The host and his lack of professionalism when it came to the responsibilities of his condo. We communicated days prior to our check-in because we moved our original reservation to his condo about six days prior to leaving. He approved our early check-in and answered all of our questions that related to our preparation strategies since it was a family trip that included our six and eight year olds. Upon arrival the security guards told us to message the condo owner and ask that he send the guest email because they didn't have us listed and for us to make sure the condo was clean. Within minutes my phone started to ring and I received panic emails because somehow, on his end, he failed to make those arrangements. When I answered the phone yet he was surprised that we were already there and that we found the condo unwelcoming. We were told the cleaning service lady was dealing with a flat tire but would be there and that perhaps we are entitled to a refund. This was at 2pm. Prior to this, we did not receive any notice of our room not being ready at pre-approved check-in time. Since it was storming heavy we agreed to leave and make our grocery run and let kids pick out the traditional beach toys at Alvin's Island. Arriving again at the standard check-in time of 4pm, the room still wasn't clean. I sent an email this time asking to be advised because we had not been updated in two hours. Only at this point did he say that " maybe I should call someone else." The service lady did show up well after 4pm with her daughters to clean the room. We left once again to not be in their way. The linens seemed sterile because we pointed out all the black dog hair that was on them when we first entered the condo. We dealt with dog hair the duration of our stay, perhaps it was on the black pleather couches. The bedroom TV did not work and the Mario game in the living room did not work.

  I loved the location, it was quiet and the balcony was so peaceful. The private beach was amazing! The boathouse condo was lovely.

  There is a pull out couch, which we used for our kids. The queen sheets were supposed to be located inside the chest (coffee table). I opened it up and there was nothing there. I looked around and the only thing I could find was a mattress cover and a blanket. No sheets. But we made it work.

  What a great location for the price in Destin!

  Great location! Easy access to the water via water taxi. Convenient location along the strip.

  Bed was a little to clunky - mattress. Maybe could use a new mattress.

  We had a wonderful experience with this property!

  We loved the big porch over the water! The location was great and close to stores as well as the beach.

  The only complaint was that we couldn’t use the umbrella at the beach because the stand was missing.
