Beach Resort Guest Reviews
     My husband, my 12 year old son and myself spent four days at the Beach Resort Condos in Destin. This was our second time to stay at this property. We love the set-up with a child's bunk in a side alcove complete with their own closet, tv and bathroom. This enables us to rent a one-bedroom at a more affordable rate. The kitchen facility was very modern with everything you would need. We ate all of our breakfast and lunches in the condo which was also a money saver. The washer and dryer were nice as sand becomes a part of everything when you are on the beach everyday.
The condo is about a 200 yard walk to the beach. Not a big deal, but if you had really little ones I would recommend the beach retreat that is further up the road and a bit closer to the gate that leads down to the beach. Our condo does have a wonderful pool / hot tub area that accommodates all ages very well. It is also beautifully laid out and landscaped. The grounds are also very kept up and clean.
I do not give it five stars because I was not thrilled with the amount of teenagers packed in the hot tub at times or the loud, vulgar adults who had been drinking and came to the pool. However this was out of the control of the condo, and to be fair, this was not something that we dealt with daily. It was only on occasion. We never had this problem the first time we visited, and I think that's because it was in June and less crowded. We went toward the end of July...peak season from what I hear.
This is a great family resort. You will find that most of the tenants are young families with small children. The resort is only five stories high, so there are not a billion people everywhere. We also had a great view of the beach from our balcony.
We do love this resort and plan on staying here again! Reviewed on Monday, August 03, 2009     The rental unit was unclean for our stay. It was as if nothing had been dusted or cleaned since the last rental. It was orderly and appeared nice on first glance, but the tub was dirty, the comforter on the master bed had stains on it, the floors felt like there was a layer of dirt on them. I complained initially, after returning home, to the rental company I went through.
The only reason I didn't check "I don't recommend this home" is because it wasn't the owners fault, it was the management company's fault for not double-checking that it had been cleaned. Plus, it was right across from the beach and we didn't have to stay in it long. Reviewed on Tuesday, December 09, 2008The rental unit was unclean for our stay.
