Air conditioning is NOT optional!

When we arrived, we found the pool dirty & filter basket broken. We spent a couple hours trying to net leaves out of bottom of pool. Overnight 1st night, the air conditioning went out. Called that morning & was told a work order would be put in. Also mentioned the pool & coffee maker, which poured water out of the bottom when I went to make coffee..the 1st morning. They sent new coffee maker, & a guy did something to the ac to "get us going" until they could fix it. The short time it blew cool air never dropped the temp below 82 degrees. Nobody ever called to check or update. When it went out again, I called left voicemail & messaged. When someone finally called back, they told me work order was already in. It was another day & phone call before they offered 2 window air units for 2 story home. Those never went below 81. We didn't sleep all week in the hot house. Not until I contacted vrbo for refund did they finally have someone call me to check on us. Didn't want to refund money, but offered 2 free nights in future. Asked if we wanted to move elsewhere if even avail for night before check out at 10 am. Not doable to move everyone & all stuff to new location our last night. We don't go every year to use voucher. Finally offered 600, which is such a small % of what I pd. The longer I've thought on it, there is no way 600 makes up for my baby gdaughter sweating in 86 home on a vacation. This AC issue overshadowed every part of our trip. I deserve more compensation than tha

We had a very nice stay. The location is great! The cottage was very clean and there was enough room for eight of us. The only issue we had was that when we arrived the pool was a little dirty. Once it was cleaned, the pool and back yard area was a plus to our stay. We would stay here again!

Amazing location!

•Wonderful communication! Owner help us a lot before we arrived. • Amazing location if you don’t mind walking, beach, store, gas station and some restaurants are in a walking distance. •Private pool, just big enough for a family and beautiful backyard, gazebo could use some light though. It’s dark at night. •Description said activities included but we didn’t got anything. •House is small and outdated, you cannot stream on TVs. •Not enough, trash bags, toilet paper or other toiletries were provided. •Mattresses are a little bit worn out. •This house is only for one family or only grown ups. •Kind of pricey for the conditions of the house, you are only paying for private pool, which my children enjoyed so I didn’t mind.

Fabulous location for a great vacation!

House was adorable and clean. Located a quick walk from the beach. Pool in the back was well kept and yard was lovely. Perfect for kids. Back pergola and grill area was used morning and night (a little dark at night, could’ve used some lights). Inside was charming and well stocked. Overall would stay again.

Great location, but tired rental

We really enjoyed the homes location and pool. Unfortunately, the home is just not great itself. First, the A/C only has a return in the hallway upstairs, which results to this loud noise during operation heard in both bedrooms upstairs. Also, the first floor has a very hard time cooling off or staying cool (we kept doors closed). Kitchen isn't stocked very well, so bring your own essential (pots, pans, etc). The outside grill is practically useless scrap metal, the burners are rusted all the way through making it impossible to get an even heating, and burns everything. The pool was nice, but wasn't cleaned until a couple of days after we arrived (btw, cleaning company cleaned it very well). Also, the pool net is torn and useless, making it difficult for us to remove any debris. The mattresses are worn out, with heavy sagging (and the queen bed upstairs squeaks with every movement without any action necessary*). NO smart TVs, very dissappointing! TV in front bedroom upstairs turns off and on during use.

Everything about this property and location was perfect for our family. We were in Destin for a baseball tournament and wanted something more than a hotel. This place felt like home. It was clean, the backyard was perfect for the boys to swim or play. We had friends visit and they loved it as well. It's a 5 minute walk to the beach and close to everything. Would definitely stay again.

Great stay at the Sea Belle!!

My husband and I stayed at the Sea Belle with our Chihuahua, May 1-5. Communication with Salt Water vacations prior to our stay was excellent!! Patty put my mind at ease about a couple concerns prior to our stay!! Check in was easy. The house is as described on the website, and pictures are accurate. The living room furniture could use an update, but that is our only complaint. The beds were comfortable, internet was quick and we appreciated our own pool every evening! The yard is well landscaped and Jasmine was growing around the Pergola in the backyard. The beach is about a block away and there are multiple beach access points within a couple miles. We hated to leave and can't wait to come back!!

GREAT LOCATION - AVERAGE COMMUNICATION

This home is everything you think it is going to be. Location, style, comfort and relaxing. Would definitely return. There were a couple challenges which were frustrating. First, I sent several messages through VRBO to the management company prior to and during our stay with NO RESPONSE. They did answer when I finally called a few days before our arrival; however, instead of addressing my questions (early check-in and whether the pool was heated as advertised) I was told to call the day we arrive. Once we arrived, the house was as expected and was relaxing and has a fantastic back patio. But, the pool was very dirty once we arrived - I responded directly via email to the property management company regarding the pool and received no response. I started to clean it with a net, but there was so many leaves and so much sediment at the bottom, it would have taken so long, I gave up. I never received a response. The third day of our stay someone came and cleaned the pool. Upon arrival, the house was generally clean; however, baseboards, closets and corners are dirty. The other issue was that we were staying seven nights and there was only enough toilet paper and supplies for a short stay. There was a note that we could call for a resupply, but there would be a fee. This seems counterintuitive considering if we stayed two nights and someone came in behind they would resupply. Why wouldn't they ensure or provide enough supplies for our stay? All said, I would return because of the comfort and location, hoping the property management team was more attentive and the pool was clean upon our arrival.
