Captain Wayne's Condo - Gulf front & fully stocked!

The location of the condo is great with pool access and beach access being accessible and easy this was huge having 3 small children with us. The condo is in a great location close to everything. The photos in the listing were accurate to a degree and the condo was clean or at least to the standard we are used too. The beds were comfortable and the kitchen was stocked to meet our needs. We had issues with the smoke detectors tripping when we cooked pizza in the oven which was strange as they werent burnt or smoking. They use a halo water detection company when one of the sensors detects water it turns off the water to the entire unit. I only had to call once to have the water turned back on, and then we avoided the sink where the problem seemed to be in the master bathroom. Overall the condo met expectations as far as the room goes. What we didn't know going in was the entire condo was under exterior renovation and there were construction crews using wheel grinders and cutting tools from 8 in the morning to 5 in the evening. Trying to enjoy your room with intense constant grinding noises was to say the least difficult. After 5 days we were all in extreme sleep deficits as our 1 year old baby was unable to nap at all thus no one really slept well during our stay. We ended up leaving before our stay was up to avoid another sleepless night. All in all the condo was comfortable and clean but tanquil and relaxing it was not.

Having the beach so close was fantastic. Being on the 4th floor in close proximity to an elevator made wheelchair access pretty easy. Overall good communication and accommodations. There was active construction throughout the day that made it near impossible to relax in the room, so ask about that before booking.

Absolutely LOVED this condo! The owners were so friendly and helpful! Will definitely be staying with them again!

The property was very neat and clean. Instructions were easy to follow. Everything you need to cook was there. Communication was great. Would definitely stay again

The property is very nice, however the beach situation with the Beach chair company is a nuisance. They do not leave any room for private chairs beach chairs.

Great location but the check in process was difficult. Although check in time had already passed, we did not receive information regarding check-in. I both messaged and called property owner and left messages. I contacted VRBO and they also said they could not reach owner and offer to book us somewhere else. I did get a reply within 30-45 minutes from the owner and an apology. I was beginning to worry that our groceries would go bad. During our stay, we found that the coffee maker did not work. The dishwasher was not attached to the counter and kept leaning forward out from the surrounding cabinets. Finally, we left the condo at 7am, well before check out; however the PIN code quit working and we could not reenter to do a final sweep to make sure nothing was left behind. Luckily we had all our bags and belongings, otherwise, we would have needed to contact the property owner again and been delayed in getting to the airport for our flight. A separate note, many of the units here have chairs and umbrella beach service included in their rental and this unit does not. It would be a nice touch if that were included. Overall great location and beach, which are most important things for this trip but was not as good an experience as it could have been.

The condo was clean, but I did find an empty bottle of pop under the master bed. The manager responded quickly and I very much appreciated that. Make sure you bring your own toilet paper because when you stay in a condo that can fit 10 people you need more than the 3-4 rolls they provide. I would guess that some of the leftover toilet paper was what the prior customer left. Other than that, we had a great relaxing time and the area was beautiful.

Captain Wayne's is a nice condo being stocked really well, however the cleaning service needs to be reviewed. Upon our arrival we were greeted with a dead cock roach inside the front door. We also had to clean the toliets as they were nasty. But the worst problem was pet hair everywhere. I know pets are not allowed but it looked to be cat hair on couch cushions. We vacuumed and got 2 cannisters full of either dog or cat hair. Other than these cleaning issues it was a very nice condo.

Property is beach front, clean and very comfy. Kitchen is loaded with all the pots, pans, and accessories you need to cook for the family. Host responds quickly. Check in and details were sent very nicely in a PDF format. Rent your beach chairs in advance!

As family entered home, apparently no one cleaned after last guests. Beds unmade, dog hair everywhere and dirty bathrooms. We left a message to manager who was quick to remedy the problem however they did a poor job in cleaning. Dog hair remained on the rug in living room. The place itself was roomy and beautiful too bad the initial experience left a lasting impression. We made the best of a bad situation and had a lovely time in Destin.
