We enjoyed our stay. The proximity to the beach and pool was ideal especially with kids.. The unit was a bit dated and a very small bathroom in the primary bedroom. The kitchen had everything you nedded but dated. The location and price mafe up for it. The owner was very responsive to any inquiries and the unit was available on time for the 4p check in. Also a plus were all the beach accessories avaliable in the shed to use.

Great Place to Stay!!

Great Location!! Very convenient for beach days being able to walk in the back door. Also, the kids loved playing pickleball and also the short walk to the ice cream shop. Definitely will be coming back next year.

Great location!

This placeis just steps from their pool and the gulf! That was the highlight for us. One of the bathrooms has been updated and all of the major appliances are very nice. The property itself was older and a bit dated, but the location was perfect!

I enjoyed my vacation time with my family

I was accommodated by the owner for early check in a day early. However, there is a no pet policy and the condo smelt of strong cat urine. Under the bed was covered with animal hair. When hunting for covers for the sofa bed, they was dirty and also had cat hair on them. The mattresses are old and worn out. There was plenty of towels but only 4 wash cloths for 7 people. The condo door also had a note from management stating that the owner was past due and we was denied access to all the amenities except the unit itself. The neighborhood itself was nice and the people were extremely friendly. I would rent from Southbay again but not this particular owner.

Would recommend again

Chose this place to stay near family at another unit on the property. I didn’t read reviews so maybe other people have said this but we loved this place! If it was not the hosts personal vacation home it definitely felt like it. They had plenty of kitchenware, towels, extra blankets, beach chairs, etc. even had a little high chair. If we stay in this area again we would definitely choose this room again!

There are not enough towels and washcloths throughout the condo and the kitchen pans are not in the best shape as we do a lot of eating in. The dishwasher didn’t work the entire week so doing dishes all week wasn’t great. The light above the table flickered all week long, most of the time it was on and the air sounded like a jet taking off every time it came on. It was very well stocked for the children, which we appreciate! I hate to be negative but we love this complex and have been coming to the same place for 20 years, this was not the same standards as we are used to and I have yet to receive my deposit refund which I thought would have come by now especially with the issues we had

Spring Break

This is the perfect spot for families! You park right in front of the property door, so there is no need to lug your belongings up multiple floors or hallways. The walk to the beach access can be made by walking through the back yard! The only downside is that most of the beach has “ghost” rental chairs, so you have to sit behind them or walk down the beach to find a clear spot if you opt to not rent one. I think that’s something you encounter no matter where you stay on the beach though.

Would likely stay again

Having three bedrooms and 2 1/2 baths was truly a wonderful thing for us girls, ages 22, 43 and 73. The only way the location could have been better is if it would have had a beach view. As it was, it was a little walk through the complex, and we were at the beach. It's located off the main highway, but so far back it was nothing but convenient;so easy to find, and to get to everywhere we wanted to go. The place needed updated badly, but was comfy. Our main advice to owners is to provide enough dish detergent, beach towels, toilet paper, paper towels, and trash bags which were locked in a closet The manager was generous in getting us extras, but we ended up running short anyway. The other thing is that getting the linens and towels washed before checking out should be a request, not a requirement. We paid a lot of cleaning fees, hostess fees, etc., and felt we did a whole lot of work in spite of that. We will be keeping the supply issue and the cleaning requirement in mind when choosing between a hotel and vrbo in the future, but with all that said we would likely be willing to go there again.

Great beach access but read the amenities closely

Good: Short walk to beach. Pool is even closer. The house is spacious with a full kitchen table and booster seats. The backyard storage has plenty of toys, beach chairs, and umbrellas. The propane grill and outdoor patio tables/chairs were very useful during our stay too. The W/D are new and awesome. Bad: if you don’t open the amenity details on VRBO you may miss that beach towels are not included. Also, that soap is “basic” - not sure what that means but we did find a hodgepodge of soaps but I’m not sure if it was from past guests or not. Had 1 laundry pod and lots of dishwashing pod. It says there are kids’ utensils and a travel crib but there are not. We had to buy our own crib night one. The host told us one had broken weeks ago when we said we couldn’t find it. We found the only one we could in Destin and sent them the receipt. Crickets. There’s also a baby gate but I don’t think it works/fits. A pair of parents couldn’t figure it out. We ended up using the ironing board as a deterrent to the stairs. I suggest being in contact ahead of 4PM check-in. We arrived right on time but the app didn’t have the code for the gate or door. Had to reach out to get access. No cable TV. Netflix was active and that came in handy, the TV is small for the room though. You’ll find plenty of board games and books! No way to lock the back-sliding door to the beach from outside. The pair of keys that were supposed to lock it did not work

Wonderful Time!

The property was clean and comfortable. It was a few steps from the pool and a 2 minute walk to the beach. The property manager was helpful and the owner was nice and promptly responded to any questions I emailed her with. We were a bit concerned about potential noise because the unit right next to us has two small dogs, but we never heard them at all. We had some rainy weather during our stay, but the water was wonderful with some nice waves. I highly recommend unit 95 at Southbay! You will not be disappointed!

Our host was the best. Our accommodations were right on point. She provided everything needed to enjoy the beach and pool. If we had little ones there were beach toys and booster seats. Kitchen fully equipped. Grill and patio furniture. Of course books, games and remotes for the men ☺️. We do plan to rent again. Location Location Thank you Olivia

Love this place!

The condo is located on the best section of beach, It's a 2 minute walk. The condo itself is wonderful, the furniture is comfy. Beds are amazing, everything was very neat and tidy. Mrs. Woodard is an amazing host, any questions that I had, she was spot on and very quick in response. She devoted a great deal of time in creating a local portfolio of all restaurants and their menus as well as maps to their locations, this was an absolute gem. My family and friends that joined us all agree that our future trips will be at this beautiful beach spot.
