I rarely give reviews and I wanted to provide justification for an overall 3 star. If this review was solely on the house and location, this is a 5 star property. However, I am deducting 2 stars for the lack of amenities on a house that is very expensive for 4 nights in October. First, the overall checkout time of 9am is an absolute joke. The house is not small whatsoever, but it is not a mansion. Allowing 7 to 8 hours to clean a house is ludicrous and the first time I have ever had to check out at by 9am. In addition to the long time to clean, you are responsible for taking out all of the trash and doing the dishes before you leave. Second, they provide only 1 roll of toilet paper (3 total) per bathroom, 1 roll of paper towels and 2 pods for the dishwasher and 1 very small trash bag. They also have no condiments, salt and pepper, etc in the entire house. Third, the house has no blankets for lounging in the living room or anywhere else in the house. Fourth, no shampoo, conditioner and only bar soap. Lastly, the golf cart is not a viable solution for getting around. We drove it for less than 10 minutes and it could barely get up a hill. They have a note on the golf cart that it isn't for long drives and you are responsible for up to $1,000 if the battery is damaged. The only reason you have a golf cart in Destin is to not drive and it defeats the purpose if you can't ride more than 5 minutes.
On the positive side, the pool is great, the community center is wonderful for young kids and the house renovation looks great. They just need to make this like other rentals in the price point and offer the extra things to justify the price.
