Overall a great place to stay despite a broken washing machine.
We loved the location and the condo overall. The kids loved the zero-depth pool. We were all disappointed in how items were not kept up with or monitored in a timely fashion for other guests to use as the washing machine had likely been broken for a long time before we attempted to use it.

Blu 305
Condo was great. We had 2 families with 4 members each. Plenty of room, and very comfortable. Kitchen was nice with plenty of dishes. I would say if I had to pick thing that wasn’t great, it would be the pots and pans. They are dated, and not enough pots. Overall this is a great condo with plenty of space with one of the best views you can have. Would return to Blu 305.

Wonderful condo on the beach!
This is the second year in a row we've stayed in this unit. It is great! So well appointed with comfortable furniture, beds etc. The view is unmatched. Nice touches by the owner with great additional appliances (ie Keurig and Nespresso; blenders etc). Vacasa very responsive with minor situations, Would not hesitate to stay again!

Needs some maintenance & a good cleaning.
We have stayed in several Blu condos & have been very satisfied. As always the view & the beach were absolutely spectacular. This particular unit just needs a thorough cleaning. There was a lot of dust build up on dining room lights, around bed frames & food particles trapped on the back of bar stools. The kitchen trash can needs replaced as the lid is rusty & filthy. Bedroom lamps & barstools are also looking old as rust has formed. The back bathroom sink was so clogged that my friend had to get a toothpick in order to pull out a trapped ball of nasty hair. Mantenence was called regarding a clogged toilet in the master bathroom but it wasn't fixed until the following afternoon. Outlets in the master bath weren't working & the toilet paper holder fell off in the jack & jill bathroom. This was the first unit I've stayed where there weren't any dish cloths only towels. And no laundry soap. I hate to be too negative as it is a lovely unit. However, since it's not an inexpensive stay, i believe standards should be higher.

Great location and lots of space
This is one of the newest condo complexes on the beach so it is updated and great amenities. It’s also very large and could accommodate a lot of people. Right in the beach and 2 pools. The management is accommodating and quick to respond. The floors and area rugs were dirty. The floors had definitely not been mopped prior to our arrival in any of the rooms. The pots and pans were very worn out. That said I would stay here again I would just mop the floors.

Vacay!
Great location and access to the beach. We loved this stay because the layout of the home, location and access to the beach, but as guests we had to buy A LOT of supplies to make the kitchen functional. The house also didn’t supply beach towels or chairs so we had to buy our own.

Family Fall Break
The location and views were great. Enjoyed the beach and pool. The property managers were responsive and helpful. The one time we attempted to use the outdoor grill it did not work. You should advise renters to bring their own sharp knives for food prep and indicate the size for coffee maker filters as we had standard filters and they did not work. We would go back.

Great place for family
This unit is a great place for our family to gather. The beach is so close and the pool is nice also. It’s a quiet property with nice beach access. Blu 305 has good views from the balcony and is very comfortable for all.

Less than expected for the cost
We were very happy with Vacasa. Booking, check-in and customer service were all good. Blue Condo 305, not so much. Kitchen is ill equipped. We love to cook in on vacation and it was difficult with the lack of pots and pans and other general kitchen utensils. No large pot for pasta or a seafood boil. A single kitchen mitt does not suffice. The pantry right off of the kitchen was jammed full of beach toys and other items. Much sand in the closet. We had to relocate the items to another closet. The closet in the master bedroom was full of the owner's property. Not much space for us. Toilet seat was broken in one of the bathrooms, as well as a note taped over one of the switches advising us not to use. Not what I expected for the rate we paid for the unit. The condo building and area are nice with two pools and two outdoor grills for usage. In summary, I would not have rented this unit if I had known of the deficiencies at booking time.

Beautiful condo
Beautiful condo. Perfect for our family of 5, but definitely big enough to accommodate more people!! Fully stocked kitchen, other than a crockpot and measuring cup, which we bought and left. Winter time the balcony was perfect for sunrise and sunsets. Got to watch the Air Force practice a few times. Close to the “strip” of FUN! Pool was perfect for kids! Would stay there again and would highly recommend to others! I love that it was a gated parking lot, and gated from the beach area too!!!

GREAT CONDO!!!!
There were a few minor issues that were fixed immediately. Blu305 is the condo you wish you never have to leave. Going home still thinking about our next trip. I've stayed in several private rental condos in Destin and Fort Walton Beach over the years. This one is in the top 3. I contacted vacasa about some type of wagon we could use to haul our cooler and fishing gear out on the fishing pier. They couldn't locate one. The next day we discovered the owner's welcome book that said we were welcome to use their beach toys and chairs etc. That was perfect! They had a wagon, yay! I'm not giving 5 stars because of the parking situation. Rent a 4 bedroom condo that accommodates 12, you're going to have at least 3 vehicles, especially when it's 3 families from 3 different states. We got 2 parking permits. The parking lot WAS NEVER MORE THAN 20% FILLED. I won't say what we did to park our unwelcome 3rd vehicle! I will say a huge THANK YOU to a very nice police officer. My advice is don't rent any unit that accommodates large parties unless you plan to cram 12 people into 2 cars.

Perfect!
This condo is just so pretty and comfortable and clean! And the view from the large balcony is amazing. We came for a family girls weekend and 6 of us fit comfortably. We enjoyed playing games at the large table and eating meals on the balcony. Vacasa was very attentive and available and checked on our stay several times.

Our home away from home
This was our second time staying at Blue 305 and we hope to make this our summer tradition because it truly is our happy place. The pictures don’t actually capture the beauty and perfection of the condo or of the whole building itself. This is truly our happy place. The staff is so friendly and professional. The property managers are available and responsive. The property was clean and smelled nice. The location is perfect!! The condo is absolutely great for every member of our family - our 14 year old son has privacy and space to himself while our 11 and 9 year olds were close enough to us but also had their own space to play and sleep. There is so much living space to hang out and watch movies, play board games or to cook and eat dinner together. The balcony views were gorgeous! We can’t say enough about this condo and we will definitely see you next summer.

Eleven members of our family spent 6 nights here. We enjoyed it all--quick access to the beach, the unit itself, the condo complex and amenities, and we appreciated access to the owner's beach equipment and bikes. One thing that caught us by surprise: if you're planning on using the trundle beds, be aware that they are not really usable due to the room configuration and furniture being in the way. All in all, a great place to stay!

Fall BREAK
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this unit and looked at rebooking for next year, but as I suspected it’s booked. Amazing accommodations. The owners even gave access to their storage unit of beach toys, bikes, etc. I’ve stayed a lot of places however this was a first. The unit was stocked with games galore which occupied the 4 kids when the rain impeding our other beach plans. Highly recommend. Again, hands down amazing and would definitely stay here again!

Family time at the beach
We thoroughly enjoyed the condo with just a few suggestions. The place was very nice and clean except for the kids bedroom. Under the bunk beds had not been cleaned for a long time. We were a little disappointed that the essentials like toilet paper, trash bags, and dishwashing liquid were not provided. Even things like salt & pepper and paper towels were nowhere to be found. It was over an extra hundred dollars to stock it up for the next visitors.
