Ariel Dunes II 1301 - Beautiful spacious, beach condo, just steps to the Gulf

Everything was wonderful! We were able to check in an hour early without even asking, the place was clean, it was spacious, the beds were comfy, and the A/C worked like it was brand new! It's close to the beach and all the activities we wanted to do. I did reach out to the host and never got a response but the situation ended up being fine. The water shut off on us from a running toilet and there weren’t enough wristbands for our party but I called the front desk and they handled everything instantly. I will be back!!!!

Rating Details: The property manager was somewhat unhelpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The condo itself was absolutely amazing! It had stunning views, beautiful furniture, and a well-stocked kitchen (although it would’ve been nice to have a crockpot). The balcony was terrific with plenty of seating, and while the walk to the beach took about 10 minutes, it wasn’t too bad. There was no beach equipment provided, and beach chair rentals were not included with the unit, which would have been a nice touch.The elevators were extremely fast—we never had to wait, which was a pleasant surprise. However, we were shocked to find bagged ice for sale at over $7 a bag, which felt excessive.Unfortunately, our experience with Seascape Property Management was far less than desirable. The number and type of beds listed on the website were misrepresented, which caused a significant inconvenience for our group. Their only solution was a blow-up mattress—not what you expect when paying premium vacation rates. I sent several requests and was promised a call back that I never received. Seascape made no effort to make the situation right, and because of that, we will not be booking with them again.That said, we absolutely loved the building and the condo itself. I would definitely book at Ariel Dunes II again—but through a different property management company.Condo rating: 10/10Seascape Property Management rating: 4/10

But the other beds were fine and no other complaints. Would stay there again. Staff was friendly and checked on us prior to and throughout the stay via text.

This particular unit wasn't as clean as all the other units we had. Floors had never been mopped. If it had, it wasnt a very clean mopped. Everyone’s feet was black and dirty just walking around house. But other than that, we all had a good time at the beach and spending time with family and friends.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Overall a great place but had it’s cons. The property wasn’t cleaned very well. There were 2 areas that were gross and should have been cleaned but missed. 1 in the kitchen right side of stove near the kick board. Another on the bar side of the wall in front of the 3rd bar stool. Also- the window ledge’s near the couch were very dusty and hadn’t been wiped under the blinds in some time. Another thing is the Cox remote to the TV in the room with 2 beds was corroded even after we replaced the batteries still unable to watch tv in that room. I would suggest the owner explain what remote goes with what in all rooms since there was 4 for the living room and it took time to figure out what went with what. The other rooms had 2 remotes each. Lastly there was no broom to sweep up anything for a week long stay with little kids only a vacuum that didn’t work very well. Our favorite was the balcony. The furniture on the balcony was very nice and comfortable when sitting out there at night. This was our second time staying at Seascape and do recommend the community. I just wish there was a little book from the owners recommending favorite places to eat or do. This was in our last condo and very helpful. We have been to Destin numerous times and will continue to go back.

Reviewer Comments: For the cost of the unit for 4 days it was totally over priced. Not enough amenities. Not enough towels, wash cloths, hand towels or kitchen towels, toilet paper, paper towels. Their were two broken chairs in the kitchen and the walls were marred up. Used wash cloth was in one bathroom and the unit was unclean under chairs. Someone came into our unit without notifying us when we were not there. No beach chairs or umbrellas available as promised. Freezer doors were iced over so made it difficult to open. However, we did leave the unit clean as directed from the check out instructions.
