PEAK HOLIDAY WEEKS AVAILABLE FOR 2026

We had a great visit, thank you for sharing your home with us

First off, the unit was very clean so that’s a plus. I wish the listing was more accurate. We’ve stayed in Ariel Dunes 1&2 several times, usually a couple times a year. We always book a 3 bedroom 2 bathroom, this listing however said it was a 3&2, when really it’s more of a 2&2, with the 3rd room being a closet with bunk beds. We were really thrown off by that but I guess I should’ve looked at the listing photos better, but all of the other 3&2 were always a full 3 bedrooms. But the biggest issue was they didn’t supply parking passes, but the listing said they do. We have NEVER had to go through the hassle of going across the highway and upstairs in a building to buy a parking pass. That’s way too much of a hassle when all of the other owners and rental companies supply those. Lastly, the door locked us out in the middle of the night, and I wasn’t able to contact the owner, and they didn’t contact me back until the next morning. Which thankfully we were persistent and tried the door 15 minutes later and it finally opened. We were about to have to get a hotel for the night if the door didn’t open. My suggestion would be to have a more accurate listing telling people the size of the “3rd bedroom/closet”, and telling people ahead of time that the parking pass isn’t actually included, even though it’s stated in the description that it is. And installing a lockbox in the event the electronic keypad doesn’t open the door in the middle of the night so you’re not stranded.

Overall was a great week. The host communication was great. The outline of how to check in and check out, etc was outlined beautifully. Our only areas of concern. The room had a smell when we first got there and each time we entered. We used room spray to offset that (not sure what it is). The furniture was showing wear and tear. One of the chairs in dining area, bottom really sunk in. Handles off drawers on some of the bedroom furniture making the drawers hard to access. The cleanliness of the unit was not what I expected. This is not a total negative review but the unit does need some updating. Thank you.

My family enjoyed our time at the condo. Beautiful view from the balcony!

First time using VRBO . Room was not clean shower and bathtubs had to be cleaned before use as black hairs were present . Bunk beds in room had no railing so small children were not able to sleep there . Found multiple bottles of male enhancement pills one under mattress where kids bunk room is located . Also another one found where family games were kept . Dresser and drawers were broken with broken pieces placed inside . All bed mattresses were extremely uncomfortable. Kitchen appliances were outdated and broken, outdoor patio furniture was dirty stained along with couches in living area . Blinds were broke. closet doors were broken , found someone’s else’s undergarments in dresser drawer . For the price per night extremely dissatisfied with the condition of condo . I was born and raised in destin and have stayed at many different condos and thought by staying at sandestin beach resort quality would’ve been better . I will not be recommending this place to anyone . It’s apparent standards for cleanliness and functioning advertised extras is just a way for people to pay premium prices for run down condo .

This condo was wonderful! The pictures accurately show the property. There were a few things worn down…like handles missing off of dressers and a cracked plastic container in the fridge, but wasn’t anything major. Our only complaint would be the bedding. The mattresses were not comfortable and I was worried about a child sleeping on the top bunk as there was not guard rail to keep them from rolling out.

Absolutely beautiful view of the gulf and the bay from the 23rd floor the accommodations were great for our large family had everything you need to stay for 9 days

We had a wonderful stay as a family of 5! We loved the location and the views! The condo had everything we needed! Super easy check in and out! Would highly recommend!

We have had the opportunity to stay here once before with our family of 8. The view is gorgeous, condo is clean, and there is more than enough space for our family. My only wish is that we could have stayed longer. Thank you Theresa!

The location is perfect. The property needs some basic updates towel’s didn’t match, dish towels was old and stained, pots where old and bath rugs was old. If your eating out everyday and bring your own stuff, then this is a perfect location.
