Pet-Friendly Beach Home, Private Pool, Near Beach

Great location. House is a little outdated but that’s ok. The real issue we had was the cleanliness. The floors were very sandy upon arrival. And the beds were sandy as well.

Perfect location! Walking distance to many shops and restaurants. Beautiful house!

Awesome location! Across the street from beach! Would stay again!

The location is the best part. The house was very clean. The property manager quickly responded when we needed sheets for the sofa bed. We will be back.

We’ve stayed in Seaside before and wanted to be closer to the square this time and this place was perfect!! Very nice home. Clean with plenty of room. Had a problem with my tv remote and the management responded immediately and helped me get it resolved. Highly recommend this place and would stay here again.

The house was great for what we needed. Beds were so comfortable and house was clean. When they clean for the next guest they get rid of everything. I thought I may find extra coffee filters or left over seasoning but nothing was left in the house. Most rentals I've got have those things but it's not that big of deal to not have any. Great house, I will rent again.

The photos are very deceptive. Spent $6,141 for the rental after taxes, etc. and the main entrance is thru a bedroom. Very disappointing with ants in the kitchen and the pool has no privacy and is very close to a busy sidewalk. Pool lights and waterfall don’t work. Needs pressure washed and updated. Asked about some money back and was told there were no “livability issues”. Never again!

House is as described. Steps from beach access, Beach is gorgeous. Pool is refreshing and fun. Nice views of the ocean from second and third floor deck. Super walkable to our favorite restaurant-Surfing Deer and an easy walk to Seaside. The house was comfortable for our group. We would definitely rent Camellia House again.

This property has been used and somewhat abused. The furnishings (minus the mattresses) all are very worn and the beach weather has taken its toll. Kitchen: while yes, its stocked the items utensils and cooking items are cheap and have a dollar store feel. The pool area is beautiful but took us figuring out how to make the waterfall work (management never returned our request for assistance) the lights did not work for the nighttime dip either. The location and ease to local dining and shopping is good! But this house needs an overhaul with the new builds around, I would look at one of those next time!

Upon arrival at property, after the designated check in time, we were unable to access the lock with code provided, we walked around to door at pool and surprisingly it was unlocked. After going inside we could tell the cleaning service had been there because bags of dirty laundry were still in hallways. Ok no problem get unloaded then contact rental agency , maybe they were suppose to come back for pickup. Unloaded house was extremely HOT! After we got settle in the upstairs and 2nd level didn't seem to be cooling off, first floor was very comfortable. Thermostat reading was 87 upstairs, set at 72. Finally called the rental agency, they verified electronically the air temp, apologized and placed a work order for technician. Advised us to buy a fan and they would reimburse!! Continuing to the housekeeping, it was bad….we found trash under the beds with an inch or more of dust, trash under bathroom cabinets, mold in downstairs bath and in window sills, a pair of little girl swimsuit bottoms in the bottom bunk bed (and these sheets had supposedly been changed) trash in bushes around pool, fountain in pool didn’t work and there was only two very rusted lounge chairs at pool, definitely not what the picture portrays and definitely not enough chairs for a home that could accommodate 10 people. The furniture is very modest one couch that 3 people can sit comfortably in and one chair once again not enough for 10 people. The air conditioner technician arrived the next day and made the comment he had personally been to unit several times, unit needs replacing! Technician before had put too much freon in. I have rented several homes in the Destin/Panama area and this was by far the worse. I’m not sure if the owner is just not making the necessary upgrades to keep this home in top notch condition but it needs work. Rental agency was responsive and apologetic, so many little things could have been done to make this so much better. Location of home Is great for the beach but of course being on the main road it is very loud at night so not much sleep, I’ll take the blame for that, but for the love of GOD please buy a broom for the house! Will not rent this home again for the price that was paid. One last thing the rental agency did offer to send cleaning crew back, I declined, should have done it right the first time.
