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: My wife and I had an amazing stay while in Sandestin.. Great access to the beach food and the accommodation where amazing.. the only negative thing I would say that it so minor, was the fridge didn’t have small freezer space nor get really cold. Besides that minor thing we had an amazing time and will def stay again and again! Thank you for a great Stay!Joshua

Room was fOK but not great as expected.
Rating Details: The property manager was adequately helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Several things were a concern. AC was too loud, tub was difficult getting in and out, one coffee cup?, No cable for watching TV, Refrigerator was too small. You should refund us in part a refund for those inconveniences we endured. Our calls were not always answered. Although the room was clean I would not recommend this property to a friend.

Walk on the Beach...Our Wedding & Honeymoon
Rating Details: 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: Our condo was as it was pictured was clean & nice our view was amazing mostly as I imagined it to be.The only thing was that there was no front desk with associates for assistance but there was a number to call for assistance as needed that was helpful.I would recommend this property to my friends it's close to the beach nice atmosphere the people are very nice. We spent most of our time on the beach day & night fun in the water & laying on the beach looking at the moon & stars at night absolutely beautiful amazing memories as we got married (a couple miles down on the beach) & spent our honeymoon here we were so happy!!! We went to the Okaloosa pier it was an absolute amazing experience we seen the dolphins, crab,jellyfish,seagulls & a crane walked right up next to it best ever time seeing GODS awesome creations!! Thank you Vacation Haven for our wonderful experience!!!

Overall good stay!
Overall good experience; there were not very many luggage carts, we were on the 17th floor, so we had to make multiple trips to and from the car. I also think it would be helpful to notate on the listing that there is only a kitchenette in this unit, without a cook top or oven. The pool was very nice and access to the beach was easy, however the beach was very crowded. We still had a great time!

Absolutely terrible 0/10. Never would recommend.
The room was disgusting. Mildew on shower curtain, mold, water leaking spots that were painted over, lights not working, so much dust, items under bed that wasn’t even ours, out of AC for 24 hours and never got it fixed. Water went out, only one elevator working for 19 floors. No Wi-Fi working. Custom service help line as a joke.

For the price we paid for the property I was not impressed. It was old and dirty. The carpet was disgusting. And it was much smaller than the pictures in the listing made it look. Instructions on how to actually get into the property were vague and confusing

Not what I expected.
I’ve rented studios before & this was by far the smallest. When it said steps to the beach, I assumed, which is my fault, that I would be able to sit & hear the ocean from my room, but with no opening windows, I was very disappointed. There were no blankets for the pull out sofa, so we had to go buy them. Having SEVERE allergies, the dust blowing out of the air duct was ridiculous. Taking it upon ourselves, we dusted the vent which piled in the floor it was so bad, I took pictures & the filter was even worse! Places on walls looked like they’d been patched for a while but remained unpainted. Just was on impressed overall.

Destination Wedding
We were in town for a friend's destination wedding. Room was great. I must have misread the coffee description, it's a Keurig, not a coffeepot, but that was easily rectified. Bed was comfy and room was clean. Views were perfect. This is the 2nd time we've stayed at the Luau in SanDestin and it won't be the last.

Terrible
Carpet was NASTY! No balcony that was advertised, “kitchenette” was a small sink, small fridge and a tiny microwave that didn’t work right. Pool tiki bar closed at 5, so there was no option to eat supper there. Very few carts for moving luggage. Overall a bad experience.

Great time
Perfect place for a couple’s getaway! Clean, comfortable and adequately stocked studio vacation rental! Instructions were very clear and check-in and check-out was a breeze. My only comment for future vacationers is to bring k-cups as the coffee maker is a keurig and not a drip coffee maker as pictured. (Very minor detail) We would stay here again. Thank you !!

Loved our stay
Enjoyed our stay. Excellent location. Nice room. Great view of coastline and pool. Quiet. Had the basics as far as kitchenware. Free shuttle around the community and across the street to Baytown Wharf. Toaster was the worst though. No shade on the floor to ceiling window but I kinda liked that. The sun was never directly shining in the window. We found out halfway through our stay there is a trash chute on every floor (our trash from takeout boxes was accumulating). Just FYI.
