Should be a 5 Star place, but it’s dirty and worn

This looks like a gorgeous property in the photos and at one time it probably was, but it was unacceptably dirty and much of it was really worn, which ruined much of our stay. Properties like this need to be maintained and refurbished often and this owner and property manager have been told this before in online reviews and their guest book (which has been full since last August btw). Nightstands were dirty with drink rings and spilled juice, baseboards had dust on them, sofa and chairs were so dirty, we put towels on them and the coffee table had so much dirt and dust in the bottom of it, it looked like a felt carpet, walls has stains and marks everywhere, under the sofa and beds was filthy and the floors quickly made your feet black and we then worn our shoes inside. Throw pillows were dirty and worn. One shower had no curtain loner and both shower’s curtains and liners were stained and mildewed. Just GROSS! My friend took bought allergy medication when she started having a runny nose and sneezing fits. Light fixture in bathroom was caked with dust. Vent in guest bath was half off the ceiling and dust stains coated the ceiling. Also, no additional toilet paper or trash bags provided, which is a basic and no beach towels provided. Nice furniture, but a lot of it is way too dirty and or worn. Happy that at least the sheets were clean and the bed was comfortable. But I’ve stayed in over 60 rentals and this is the first time I’m writing a review like thisjust bad!

Great gateway but not perfect

We enjoyed our stay overall with my family of 4. The apartment is spacious and the distance to the beach is great. The pool was very nice and it was enjoyable to have a smaller building therefore less crowds. We unfortunately found the floors extremely filthy at arrival, which thankfully was corrected the next morning. We also thought a lot of the essentials were not made available such as cleaning products or sponges. We also had issues with the building alarms going off twice during our stay. The couch is small and quite uncomfortable. We liked the location even though we were under the impression that we could walk on the bridge with the fountain.... Don't be duped. That's not for us lol. It's a gated community. Overall great memories made with my children despite all the little issues. ning

Not as advertised

Upon arrival the instructions were outdated and confusing. The gate guard required a reservation confirmation that wasn’t provided to us. The ceiling fan in the master bedroom did not work, nor did the guest room ceiling fan light, the rear left burner on the stove, the table lamp adjacent to the dining room, the stand-up lamp in the corner, or the master bedroom table lamps. The dryer didn’t work either. After this disaster VRBO did nothing to compensate for the discrepancies. I’ll never use the platform again.

Lovely condo

We did have trouble checking in. It was confusing going into the building with the actual address on it and then having to go to another building to actually register. Then we found we were in front of the wrong room in the second building. It took a few calls to locate the property contact. Once we did though she was very helpful and directed us back to the original building where we finally got into the correct unit. After that confusing beginning, everything was smooth sailing and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Comfy beds and beautiful decor.

Filthy

This property is NOT as listed. Renters beware. When we got to the condo there was an awful fish smell. After trying to locate the smell, we determined it might be from the garbage disposal, I attempted to clean it but had no luck. I called the property manager and she came over the next day to give us cleaner that didn’t work either. The bed linens and furniture all smelled like fish. I ended up having to go buy air fresheners to mask the smell. When we pulled the towels out to shower, the linens were dirty. After spilling some water on the floor, I grabbed a paper towel to wipe it up and the paper towel was filthy. The floor was disgusting. The property manager told us someone would come and mop the floor the next day but no one showed up so we ended up borrowing a mop and buying floor cleaner to mop the floors, not really what I wanted to do on vacation. Upon further inspection, the condo was disgusting and looked like the cleaners only made the beds and put “new” towels outs. There was toothpaste spit on the mirrors in the bathroom, brown stains on the curtains of the living room, and thick dust on the back of the couch and the pictures. This condo needs a lot of maintenance and updates. The master bathroom has mold around the baseboards and the shower curtain rods are rusted. The best thing the owner can do is take it off the list to rent and update everything. We had relatives stay in a different condo in this complex and their unit was so clean and updated for the same rental price. On a positive, the onsite property manager was responses but after a while I got tired of spending my vacation communicating about all the problems.

Great location in Destin

We enjoyed our stay at the Terrace Pelican Beach, the location is great, access to all of the hot spots was very convenient. The pool area is kept very clean. If you stay at the Teace you will have access to the resort pools as well, and the private beach. If you want a gulf front view I would recommend staying at the resort but the Terrace Condo was very nice. No complaints.

Good but a few things need adjustments

The renting part was easy, I booked a couple weeks before the trip! The front gate people that we were in contact with they were not welcoming ! The check in part was easy except the part that the lady that checked us in told us to go the wrong building ( because she didn’t have the patience to look at my phone to see the booking confirmation) we tried to unlock the wrong door for quite a few minutes until we decided to call the property manager… she answered and figure it out the mistake! The condo was overall clean.. needed to be dusted better.. some of the dishes were not well cleaned.. we had to hand wash to use it! The king bedroom bathroom needed a new shower curtain ( it looked desgusting). Apart from that it was a nice visit!

The only reason I didn’t give it an excellent rating is because they only give you 1 trash bag, 2 rolls of toilet paper and 1 roll of paper towels. If you have a full rental of 6 people plan on bringing your own supplies. This needs to be mentioned in the listing.
