Update

I had previously left a review, upset that the dryer in our unit was broken the entire stay. Management stated that ordering the part had been done and left the issue at that. I was not satisfied with this as a response. After several calls I was finally given a resolution that matched how difficult this made the trip. While it didn’t change the stress caused by not having a dryer, I felt heard. We were issued a partial refund. I wanted a knowledgement that the booking would not have been made without a dryer in the unit.

We loved the location. The view of the gulf was fantastic! We will look at booking at as in. Very pleased! The condo was very clean. The only comment I had was that the master shower had mold in the grout. The ceiling in shower appeared to have water leakage from above.

Lovely view, nice property, great location, lousy property management company

We have traveled & rented similar properties for over 20 years. We know a good property when we find one. This property was lovely - the view is amazing, it was clean (minus the master shower - see comments below) & the location is good. But the property management makes or breaks the experience despite all the great things the owner offers with their rental property. The property management company for this property was pretty much just so-so. The outlets in both bathrooms were not working, & it took over 24 hours for someone to come fix it. We felt like our request for early check-in was handled very poorly since the on-site person who we spoke to who was inspecting the condo said we could check in about an hour early, but when we called customer service because the door code wouldn't work, the customer service organization was mostly polite, BUT NOT FLEXIBLE at all. They were not understanding of the fact that our daughter had started getting sick on our way to Destin, so we just wanted to get in & let her rest. It was an HOUR before our scheduled check in time, and the condo was ready, but they wouldn't budge on their "policy". Sometimes, you just make an exception because it's Christmas time and your client has a sick child. We finally went to the on-site staff at the building (maintenance), & a kind gentleman let us in. One last thing - There was what looked like mold on the ceiling above the shower in the master. Future renters should ask about this.

Emerald Tower 805

Property was nice. Vacasa was the management company and they did not inform us in advance that there would be exterior maintenance being done to our condo the entire week. We also had workers coming into the condo multiple days as well as the water turned off for 2 hours during the day. Property smelled like marijuana. Vacasa was contacted and would not compensate us for the interruptions we indured all week. I also left a very valuable item in the condo when we left. I knew exactly where I left it but they told me it was not found even though no one else checked in to the property immediately after we left. A company is only as honest as the people they employe and this one gets an F!

Nice, clean property.

Condo was clean and comfortable. Water dispenser on the refrigerator did not work. Questioned if homeowner was trying to save water? Instructions for the television need clarity for use. Add on fees for using Vacasa were surprising. We will probably not come down to Destin again.

Very clean and staff was very friendly

We enjoyed our stay in unit #805. The unit was very clean and decorated beautifully. Then only problem with the unit was on the second day a note was on door from maintenance with instructions not to use left sink in master bathroom because of leak. Luckily it was a double sink counter so we could use the other side. Other than that everything was perfect. The whole building area was very clean, including the pool and restroom area. We would definitely stay again and recommend to others.
