Very Nice, unless you want to watch TV

Overall very nice Condo except for the TVs. Unit was in very good condition, clean, and very well stocked… but the TV’s were so small and cheap, they were about useless. Very nice balcony with great views of the pond was a plus.

Fun in the sun

Nice place and location. King bed wasn’t to comfortable. Kitchen well stocked. It was cozy and relaxing. Could use a better cleaning (ceiling fan dust, crumbs in cushions) We didn’t use the pool. Love the skylight room.

Could use a few things…

The sofa bed was bent at the bottom, but was ok for youngest kid. Did see some mouse droppings in kitchen and master bath. Killed a huge cockroach. All those things said, overall it was good enough. The oven overhead light went out. The washer and dryer were just okay and they only left us a few pods, which was not enough for our stay due to washing towels from beach etc. also both tubs drain crappy when trying to shower

My birthday getaway

The property overall was good but I was very upset when I arrived there were nasty towels in the bathroom and nasty sheets on the floor. The king bed had no linen on it and I called to report it but I was on hold for over 20 minutes. I finally left a message and received a call back stating the cleaning people were behind. They finally came and cleaned after 7pm and check in time was 4pm. This was very disappointing and the only downfall with the property.

Peaceful and Practical

This was our first experience with renting a property rather than booking a hotel and I was so glad we did. The area was perfect and close to everything we needed and wanted. The property itself was comfortable and had all we needed, and then some. I will say that if you traveling with younger children, start calming them down early. We came with a 3 year old and my grandchildren (4 & 7) came for a couple of days. They must have been too rambunctious for the neighbors because they banged on the walls twice. Overall this place was wonderful and we would definitely stay again!

great stay

Love the Bluewater community. Condo was as well appointed as any we have ever stayed in. Only two minor complaints; ice maker did not work and there were no ice trays so we bought some, and the TV’s were really small, we don’t watch much TV so not a big deal for us.

Not playing by the rules

Check in was problematic. Electronic door lock worked with assigned code, but the cleaning had locked the door handle and we could not enter the property. Tried the contact phone numbers, only to get voice mail recording. After waiting and trying again, the property manager provided the code to the lock box and we were able to gain access. Once inside the property, we were greeted with cigarette odor and this was listed as non smoking property. I called the property manager again and reported the odor as there was a fine for any violation. The property manager recommended that I contact Evolve to resolve this problem. I told him that was not my responsibility and that after a long day of travel I was tired and recommended he call Evolve. This process started after our 4:00 pm checkin time. We opened windows to ventilate the property and left for a couple of hours. During this time Evolve contacted me and offered to refund my money and allow VRBO find us another property within a reasonable distance. I declined because it was already a long travel day. The property manager sent out his maintenance man the following day to replace the AC filter, which did nothing to improve the odor. I felt that I should at least be compensated, as the property did not meet its description as a non smoking property. Someone, previous occupant of cleaning team smoked in the property. This is the risk I take when I stay at VRBO, sometimes you get what you expect and sometimes you don’t. When you don’t, resolution of the problem is always hit or miss. Overall disappointed!

Needs a little work. Security, updating and pest control.

We arrived and were a bit surprised that this unit was NOT a lower level unit since that's what we had searched for. There IS a bedroom on the main level but the main level is up two flights of stairs, we had to make alternate arrangements for one of our party for the week because she's handicapped. The unit was clean when we checked in. Towels were delivered to the unit at 5/530pm and weren't dry, so I guess the cleaning crew was running late. We put the towels in the dryer but it can only dry a couple articles of clothing at a time so it took quite a while and was not very efficient. There was some confusion on check in date and we were able to access the unit the day before our actual check in, which for security reasons was scary for us since there was someone staying there and we could just walk in. The kitchen light kept going in and out, not sure if it was burning out? The mgt co. needs to follow up with pest control, there was a very large bug, looked like a roach of some sort, on the ceiling. We also had someone show up in the middle of the week to view the unit. We called and the contact person informed us that the unit was not on the market and that they must have had the wrong address. The unit is dated and carpets need to be cleaned, lots of stains. The gentleman that we had to call for issues was very easy to reach and explained the reservation issue. The pools were not crowded and there are 3 to choose from. The kitchen was stocked with any dishes that you should need for the week. Beds were ok. Sleeper sofa for kids only, very thin mattress, not very comfortable for teenager.

Great stay in Niceville!

We had a wonderful time at 304 Southlake Court. The location was very convenient to shopping, restaurants, and an easy ride to the beach. The 2-story condo was very spacious and clean. We were a family of 5 (3 teenage boys) and had plenty of room. It had a fully stocked kitchen, washer & dryer, spacious family room & huge master bedroom. It had everything we needed to enjoy our vacation. We definitely plan on returning.

A bit let down

Although we love Niceville and the condo area we were displeased that several things could have been handled better. We confirmed prior to booking the condo that a heated pool would be available due to visinting in the spring. We were told that in fact there was one heated pool and two others as well. We arrived, dressed for a pool day due to cooler weather, only to find out the heated pool had been closed for renovations for a while now. The other pool also closed for the season. We did find one pool open on the property the last day there but it was not heated and to cold to swim. We also had issues with the curtains opening. We have stayed at this condo before and the master bedroom view is stunning...if you can open the curtain. We informed the owner within an hour of arriving on Saturday and he did send someone to fix...the fix...just closed them and told us not to open them. They did send someone back Wednesday before leaving to adjust the curtains to at least be able to pull them open and shut for our last two days there. The condo could use a deep clean but I did some of that while there. Also, not being able to smoke on the balcony was not convenient. We don’t smoke in our home either and that’s no problem but to not be able to sit on the balcony with a glass of wine in the evening was not idea. We truly enjoy Niceville and the complex in the past but this time was disappointed.
