A Great Trip!
Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The property is like described and pictured. The furniture is nice and the beds are comfortable. The sinks and showers drain slow. It is gulf front but about a 3 to five min walk to the beach. The dunes are a pretty walk. The grill off the family room does not work so you have to use the one on the ground floor. There were two propane tanks ready to go, however the grill itself is on its last leg. My big complaint is only 8 beach towels. They have it in the contract to bring your own but for this kind of money they should provide them. Packing beach towels is a pain. Over all the house is nice, clean, and comfortable. There are a few things to be updated but nothing that would impact your trip. We did not have any issues with the house while we were there so never talked with the management company. We had a great trip!

Large house with nice views of dunes and water. Not very clean inside. Grill was broken. However there was a functioning propane grill in garage which we used. Our one service request about the broken blender was taken care of immediately.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We really enjoyed 1 S Founders Lane. We had a party of 10 and had more than enough room. House was well appointed and furnishings were nicely done. Enjoyed the walking distance to The Hub and the multiple pools we had access to in Watersound. Royal Destinations was great with any questions or concerns we had during our stay.

Location, location, location...
If location is what you are after...then this property is definitely NOT going to disappoint. It is right on the water in an amazing gated neighborhood filled with absolutely beautiful homes. Our group took advantage of the neighborhood amenities and enjoyed getting out on the roads and beach and exercising each day. If that is your jam...then you will love it!! We were however disappointed in the overall cleanliness of the home and there was a number of things in disrepair that I did discuss with the management team throughout the stay. After checking in on the first day and the initial high of being on vacation began to wear off, the first thing that was super obvious to us was how dirty the floors were and that the rugs needed to be shampooed. They did send a couple over to mop the floors for us and that made a huge difference beginning on day 2 of our stay. Even the couple that mopped remarked at how dirty the floors were prior to be cleaned. The rugs remained dirty throughout our stay and still needed to be addressed as of our departure. There were 2 grills on the property and that seemed odd until we attempted to light the one on the balcony in the VRBO pictures and it didn't work. The grill that we ended up using is outside the main entry on the 1st floor...which is certainly not convenient to the kitchen. The handles to the sliding door on the 2nd floor (main living area) were broken...one pulled completely off the frame and there were several shower heads in the 3rd floor bathroom that were not functioning. They did send someone to come look at them and to replace lightbulbs that were out in fixtures, but they were not able to be fixed during our stay. We were able to open the sliding doors and take a shower...but they didn't function properly and need to be replaced as of our departure. The beds in the home were very comfortable! However, mid-way through our stay we began to notice that there were Palmetto cockroaches in the home. We killed 2 in the 3rd floor master bedroom area and 4 in the kitchen and living room area on the 2nd floor of the home. Not being from Florida, these pests definitely gave us the heebie jeebies and put us on the defense. These were not small pests and some did reach over an 1 inch in length. After reporting this issue to the management team, someone did come to the property to spray a couple days later. Overall, we had a good stay...but the cleanliness of the home needs to be addressed.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Great time over 4th of July. 16 family members thought it was the best rental we have had in 30A area. Close proximity to the Hub and Brunos Pizza make the stay very enjoyable. Publix is close as well. House was in good order and clean. We had a couple of minor issues that needed attention but the staff was on them and resolved them quick. Doesn't get much better than this. The gated community and private beach is a real plus.

Even had bikes to use in the area. Staff at Royal Destinations was very responsive. Watch out for that remote control in the main den though. That thing needs an instruction manual or you won’t be able to watch tv without calling the staff for help.

5-Star Property, 2-Star Service
This was our second time staying at a Royal Destinations property, and to be honest, I hope I never do again. The property itself was very nice and located right on the beach with the most beautiful view of the ocean and the unique dunes that line WaterSound. The house was very nice, albeit with some pesky issues like multiple door locks that were near impossible to unlock and an overly complicated A/V system and spotty cable TV. The house also wasn't properly clean with some mildew spots in the master bathroom, dirty placemats in the kitchen, and floors that were dirty/dusty in spots throughout. This would all be forgiven considering the quality of the home and its location, BUT, the service with Royal Destinations ruined the experience. Here are a few examples: - In preparation for the trip, I sent two messages through VRBO that they never responded to. This is the way they operate from my experience. You can call their phone, but they do not respond to messages or email in a timely fashion, and sometimes, not at all. - Royal Destinations insists on using their app which isn't user-friendly. Why not just use the VRBO app or text message? - They asked us if the house could be shown by a realtor while we were there. Considering this was during COVID-19, it wasn't my preference for a few reasons, but we wanted to be flexible and considerate to the homeowner. Despite agreeing to a mutual time to show the home, and us cleaning up the house in prep for the showing, Royal Destinations failed to inform us that the realtor wouldn't actually be able to show it at that time. They then requested a different time, which after an email or two, I emailed back to say we couldn't accommodate. The realtor showed up anyway, so in the interest of helping the realtor out, we got our group of 10 and left the house. Something like this would NEVER happen at a nice hotel or with an owner-managed property and again illuminates the problem inherent with Royal Destinations. - Multiple minor issues like remote controls with dead batteries, no kitchen towels, and some lightbulbs that were dead. - The cleaning team showed up right at 9 AM as we were just finishing taking our luggage out. Instead of giving us 5 minutes to finish, they walked right past us and into the home to get started to work. They didn't even offer a passing greeting. Again, not something that would ever happen at any nice hotel, not even a 2-star hotel. In short, it wasn't worth the price tag.
