Nice but no cigar
The room was nice, great bed, great view. Problem was the room had been smoked in and was very overwhelming. Vacasa corporate was very responsive but no response from local management during our entire stay. Please, if you smoke and there is a balcony, SMOKE OUTSIDE and don’t ruin it for the next couple renters.

Rocky check in. Lost private beach
Checkin was rocky at best. The code we were given wouldn’t work, and it took 50 minutes of standing at the door with our belongings in high 90 degree weather waiting for management to get us a new code. The studio is nice and clean. We were told we needed to bring linens; the linens were on the bed. It took at least two flushes to get the paper to flush. Otherwise there was plenty of towels and was clean. We love the positioning of this Studio as to location. I called management on the 2nd day of our 4 day get away vacation to inquire where the advertised beach was. Just so future tenants know; the quaint little beach advertised is located at building B which is down the street from the building A we stayed in. We will try different accommodations in the future.

First time using VRBO and Vacasa
Never had such an easy process finding a rental! This was so much easier than booking a hotel. Pirate Walk was everything we had hoped it would be. The unit was just as described and perfect for our short stay. The only drawback was the intense smell of stale cigarettes. You can literally smell it as you approach the front door of the unit. There was a “non-smoking” sign in the unit, but it has obviously been smoked in for years. All of our belongings smell of cigarettes even now that we’re home. Will definitely be back to Pirate Walk, but will request a different unit. We loved the area and can’t wait to come back!

Great rental!
Owners have updated a few things- new couch and cooktop burners. The only downsides here were the tiny kitchen sink (the bathroom sink is actually bigger) and the ever lingering smoke smell - we saw it in the reviews and brought our own air freshener; there is a toaster oven, but bring your own potholder. Overall a great stay, at a good price. Vacasa was great to work with and made it a point to text/call with updates and check in/out info.

This property was amazing. I received more communication from this listing then I ever have and I’ve used VRBO for years! The property was just as described and the check in process was easy. Even when I had an issue, I was able to immediately get someone on the phone and it was taken care of quickly. If I’m ever back in the Destin area I will definitely stay here again!

Strange start!
Upon arrival, the front door was open, I called the management number given on the e-mail and since it was after 5 pm, I had to leave a message, no one ever got back to me, I then called Vacasa, and they had someone out there within 10 minutes, everything was fine, but never did find out why the front door was open. Rest of the trip was great!

Just ok.
The unit smelled terribly of smoke that was coming in through the neighboring unit. The air system was pulling air from neighboring units. I called and was relocated with no problems through Vacasa. This saved my vacation! Very pleased with the customer service but overall would not consider the unit at pirates bay in the future

I was extremely pleased with my stay at Pirates Bay. The unit was immaculate and exactly as described. Communication was very clear regarding check in and check out. The condo was well appointed with everything I needed at my fingertips. Furnishings were very comfortable. The condo was centrally located for a variety of activities yet peaceful and relaxing when at the unit. Nice views of harbor and pool.

Awesome quick get away
We came for a quick getaway and my birthday. This will def. be our spot from now on. Room was perfect for us. Pool was beautiful, water view was amazing, and the hidden beach area was heaven. Very tropical feel for sure. Price point was great! Location was perfect close to everything did not have to spend a lot of our time driving. Only prob we had was draining of tub and bathroom sink and would do the property good to upgrade the bathroom shower a bit even put in a different shower head Seemed very hotel like and this property would have been perfect. Over all an amazing time. We will be bk!!! Highly recommend property!!

Our stay could have been worse, but we are not at all pleased...
Honestly, we thought we'd be happier with the property beings as the price listing for 3 days & two nights was very cheap. But we were wrong. We believe the listing on the website should be updated as far as picture wise.. We were under the impression the room would have a fan, we didn't. We were also told by email we had to keep the thermostat on 80 degrees... IN THE SUMMER TIME. Also, the floors were NOT clean. Literally had to WIPE our feet off every time before we got into the bed or went to sit on the couch. Also, we dropped something & it rolled under the bed & we bent down to get it & noticed empty water bottles, an empty Nesquik bottle & a used napkin. We also went to use one of the bowls to make some food & the bottom of the bowl was all sticky. The couch was very stained & there was a burn hole in one of the top cushions. The room also smelled like smoke when you walked in. Coffee table was also breaking. Only 2 out of 5 of the lamps in our room worked. At night was the WORST, we heard stomping from everyone above us until at least 1 in the morning; heard knocking on the walls from the room next to us. Also heard every time someone near us flushed the toilets. When we got there, we tried turning the tv on & every channel was speaking Spanish. We also tried to go swimming & they closed the pool for no reason all days we were there. Everything in the room was crooked, even the pictures on the walls. The only thing we found pleasant was our view from our balcony. Wouldn't recommend unless you truly just needed a place to stay for a night.
