Spring get away

This place was wonderful. Definitely more space than we needed but the patio area was very enjoyable! Bed both slept well and the pictures were exactly what it is. Definitely recommend this accommodation. Grocery store was in walking distance and many restaurants.

Great gateway but not perfect

We enjoyed our stay overall with my family of 4. The apartment is spacious and the distance to the beach is great. The pool was very nice and it was enjoyable to have a smaller building therefore less crowds. We unfortunately found the floors extremely filthy at arrival, which thankfully was corrected the next morning. We also thought a lot of the essentials were not made available such as cleaning products or sponges. We also had issues with the building alarms going off twice during our stay. The couch is small and quite uncomfortable. We liked the location even though we were under the impression that we could walk on the bridge with the fountain.... Don't be duped. That's not for us lol. It's a gated community. Overall great memories made with my children despite all the little issues. ning

Not as advertised

Upon arrival the instructions were outdated and confusing. The gate guard required a reservation confirmation that wasn’t provided to us. The ceiling fan in the master bedroom did not work, nor did the guest room ceiling fan light, the rear left burner on the stove, the table lamp adjacent to the dining room, the stand-up lamp in the corner, or the master bedroom table lamps. The dryer didn’t work either. After this disaster VRBO did nothing to compensate for the discrepancies. I’ll never use the platform again.

Lovely condo

We did have trouble checking in. It was confusing going into the building with the actual address on it and then having to go to another building to actually register. Then we found we were in front of the wrong room in the second building. It took a few calls to locate the property contact. Once we did though she was very helpful and directed us back to the original building where we finally got into the correct unit. After that confusing beginning, everything was smooth sailing and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Comfy beds and beautiful decor.

Filthy

This property is NOT as listed. Renters beware. When we got to the condo there was an awful fish smell. After trying to locate the smell, we determined it might be from the garbage disposal, I attempted to clean it but had no luck. I called the property manager and she came over the next day to give us cleaner that didn’t work either. The bed linens and furniture all smelled like fish. I ended up having to go buy air fresheners to mask the smell. When we pulled the towels out to shower, the linens were dirty. After spilling some water on the floor, I grabbed a paper towel to wipe it up and the paper towel was filthy. The floor was disgusting. The property manager told us someone would come and mop the floor the next day but no one showed up so we ended up borrowing a mop and buying floor cleaner to mop the floors, not really what I wanted to do on vacation. Upon further inspection, the condo was disgusting and looked like the cleaners only made the beds and put “new” towels outs. There was toothpaste spit on the mirrors in the bathroom, brown stains on the curtains of the living room, and thick dust on the back of the couch and the pictures. This condo needs a lot of maintenance and updates. The master bathroom has mold around the baseboards and the shower curtain rods are rusted. The best thing the owner can do is take it off the list to rent and update everything. We had relatives stay in a different condo in this complex and their unit was so clean and updated for the same rental price. On a positive, the onsite property manager was responses but after a while I got tired of spending my vacation communicating about all the problems.

Would stay again

We were pleased with our stay here overall. It was quite spacious and the kitchen was fully stocked. I like that it was on a lower floor so we could use the stairs. It also has a nice view of the pool, which can get loud but didn't bother us. It is also SUPER close to the beach, you basically walk through a parking lot and are there in 3 minutes. Other reviews had mentioned issues with the security guards and cleanliness, but we didn't experience that at all. The only thing I wish I had known prior to arriving is that the beach does not allow tents or coolers. You can rent their chairs/umbrella for $35/day or buy an umbrella yourself, which has to stay behind the 3-4 rows of chairs available for rent. This was a bummer because we flew and had brought a packable tent. We ended up driving over to Henderson Beach State Park a few times (~2 mi away) because we were told this is the closest location where we could use our own tent and coolers. For anyone booking this condo, call the beach chair rental ahead of time so that you can book your chairs and umbrella for the first row. I got there as soon as they opened but was told those are all booked in advance.

As Advertised

Everything was exactly as listed. It was a very comfortable stay. It is in the middle of everything and the beach is a short walk. The building was very quiet and the pool didn't ever infringe on our privacy. We would love to stay again, and will.

Great location in Destin

We enjoyed our stay at the Terrace Pelican Beach, the location is great, access to all of the hot spots was very convenient. The pool area is kept very clean. If you stay at the Teace you will have access to the resort pools as well, and the private beach. If you want a gulf front view I would recommend staying at the resort but the Terrace Condo was very nice. No complaints.

This place was awesome and spacious! Great big Balcony over looking the pool! I was able to let my son walk to the pool with his friends and I could look down and talk to them. Jim was an amazing host and talked me through everything the day before! It was 5 mins from the ball park which was a plus and we walked across the street to big Kahuna! This room was everything we needed and more! We will definitely be back!

Good but a few things need adjustments

The renting part was easy, I booked a couple weeks before the trip! The front gate people that we were in contact with they were not welcoming ! The check in part was easy except the part that the lady that checked us in told us to go the wrong building ( because she didn’t have the patience to look at my phone to see the booking confirmation) we tried to unlock the wrong door for quite a few minutes until we decided to call the property manager… she answered and figure it out the mistake! The condo was overall clean.. needed to be dusted better.. some of the dishes were not well cleaned.. we had to hand wash to use it! The king bedroom bathroom needed a new shower curtain ( it looked desgusting). Apart from that it was a nice visit!

Overall good stay!

The only reason I didn’t give it an excellent rating is because they only give you 1 trash bag, 2 rolls of toilet paper and 1 roll of paper towels. If you have a full rental of 6 people plan on bringing your own supplies. This needs to be mentioned in the listing.
