Spontaneous Trip

We decided to take a spontaneous trip to Destin and stay at our favorite spot, The Luau. We absolutely love the amenities and the proximity to the beach. This condo was a great value, and we enjoyed our stay! Some of the issues from the previous negative reviews seem to have been addressed. We would stay here again!

Very nice!

Sandestin is awesome. I have stayed in this area a few times. My daughter and her family stayed about 15 minutes away and this was a last minute decision for me. This was the perfect spot for me. It had just what I needed. The pool was great and easy access to the beach. This studio would work for a single,couple, or couple with two kids. Thank you for a wonderful stay.

Unit is ok, but seems to be a little dated. The couch seems a little worn. This is a great resort!!!

The property could use a new bedspread and the couch may need to be replaced. They should supply more toilet paper and paper towels.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Perfect place for a relaxing trip to beach! This condo has everything you need and then some! The location was perfect; walking distance to the beach and awesome pool! Tiki bars at both! Big plus!!! No need to drive anywhere! All you need is just a tram ride away, so many places to eat, drink, shop, or even zip line! Plenty of things to do for adults and kids! We really enjoyed our weekend here! Can’t wait to come back soon!!!

Comfy stay!

My only complaint would be the size of the balcony... it wasn’t clear to me that this wasn’t a sitting balcony, which very well could’ve been my mistake, but enjoying a balcony is a huge thing for me and this was basically just a Juliet. Otherwsie, everything was perfect! The pool was a huge hit with the kiddos!

We enjoyed our room. Only thing we noticed, the freezer didn't freeze anything. It wasn't really an issue since there was an ice machine.

Great studio for the price

We stayed Saturday to Saturday during Fall Break and had a really nice time. Sandestin community has everything you need and the Luau has a terrific pool to go along with it! Tram service to Baytown, short walk to the beach and you can even go to the Hilton for breakfast, lunch or dinner! Studio at Luau was nice with a small kitchen. Sofa bed was the opportunity, its pretty thin. Could use an update with interior decorating and TV is not in the greatest position. Kitchen came with dishwashing soap, sponge and paper towels which was plus. Overall had a good stay.

Unacceptable end to a vacation

To whom it may concern, we stayed at tour vrbo property this weekend and checked out today 5-16 we were told check out was by 10 am however at 9:30 at tour cleaning staff barged into our room without knocking to clean while we had no clothes on. This was a complete disrespect for your guests and your company policy with checkout. This tainted our experience making us not want to us vrbo potentially in the future. Not to mention my girlfriend was the one not dressed and it was male cleaning personal that barged in.

Right from the start, we were not informed to download an app that gave us gate codes/door code. Finally got in and the room was dinghy. No kitchenette, the TV was permanently stuck on a baby channel and the TV was inside of a cabinet so the doors blocked the view in which you couldn’t watch TV from the bed. There is NO ICE on site! None... they took out the machines. The elevator is a joke. 2 elevators for a massive building so you had to wait long periods. The beach was overly crowded with preset chairs/umbrellas to rent so that took up 5 rows of the beach front. The closest bathroom was way off the beach. Parking space was nonexistent. Literally none available and we had to park across the road from our hotel (luau building) and walk a distance to get to the building. Check out is 10am sharp and you have to clean yourself and remove your trash or you are charged. It took 25 min to get an elevator since everyone in the entire building was leaving at the same time

Beautiful Beach Area

Our only complaint is we did not have the gate code to the Luau Complex. If we had not asked the lady in the car behind us we would not have known the code to raise the gate arm. If the code was sent to us via email I missed it. Other than that and a few days of rain we had no issues. The condo was clean and had enough towels and tissue to last our entire stay. Another plus the bed was comfy!
