Not the cleanest property!

So....I am thoroughly disappointed with the cleanliness of this property. I chose this one because of how nice the decor looked online. The process to book it was pretty seamless since the property owner was very courteous and professional. When we arrived, I did a walk through and noticed there was dust everywhere. I contacted the property manager who then came out. The solution offered was to have the cleaning crew come in to dust....not the best option. We paid a pretty penny to stay here, so we definitely didn't want our vacation disrupted with a cleaning crew. We had an infant with us, so I am sure the cleaning would have caused the dust to be put into the air throughout the place. As the days went on, I found countless issues with cleanliness....filthy microwave, cabinets, pots, vents, etc. I don't feel as if we were really offered an apology or a good solution to this by the property manager. We visit Destin annually, and this is the first unfortunate encounter we have had. The owner did reach out to me to discuss the concerns, but unfortunately this was after we had gone. Hopefully, our cleaning fee will actually benefit the next group of guests.

Destin Getaway

This was a beautiful home. Large home great for multiple families. Dining arrangements were great for 8 adults downstairs and 4 or more children at a table upstairs on the second floor. Short 5 to 7 min walk to the beach or great shuttle service available to pick you up directly at the house. The pool area was absolutely awesome. My very favorite part, just like being at a tropical resort. Ice cream truck visited the neighborhood several times daily, the children loved it. Shopping at Destin Commons Mall extremely close. You could walk there. Walmart was nearby also. Reccomend waiting till early Sunday morning to go get groceries instead of Saturday night. That place was absolutely insanely crazy packed with people. Definately go to Brusters for ice cream or Twirl for frozen yogurt. You can walk to either one from the house.
