It's so bad, that I will look for other rental agencies in the future and carefully check their contracts. We are still 100+ days from the intended vacation, so charging big dollar cancellation fees seems ridiculous. Beware!!

They also helped us after closing finding some contractors on the area that could help us with landscaping for our property and original wall paint from the builder.

I can't even begin to put into words how absolutely phenomenal they were! We worked with Kim specifically as our property manager and she was so great. We really liked how their process was set up. If there were any concerns with the property, Kim told us immediately. We ended up moving overseas for 3.5 years and during that time frame, we switched tenants. I can't imagine dealing with all of that while being overseas. We experienced minor tornado damage to the property and Kim was on top of it. She was always open and honest. She kept things fair for both us as the owners, as well as our tenants. We fully trusted Kim and never once had to worry about anything. It was such a huge load off to know we had that! She really was such a blessing. We decided to sell the property in 2021 and got teamed up with Donna. Donna was just as incredible as Kim from the very beginning to the very end. She made the entire selling process super easy. She was open and honest about our options and walked us through every step and answered every question we had. We live out of state and knowing we had someone we could trust to take care of selling the property was a relief. From our end, the selling process was easy. We know that's because Donna is such a phenomenal agent and took care of the heavy load of things on her end. In the eight years that we worked with Assurance Realty, whether on the Property Management side or the Real Estate side, we knew we could trust them completely. Honesty, integrity, and professionalism are important. Assurance Realty of NWFL, LLC goes above and beyond for their clients. I simply cannot say enough good things about them.

My experience with Sunset Beach Rentals has been nothing short of heartbreaking and deeply…read moredisappointing. What should have been a simple and professional process turned into an experience filled with disrespect, intimidation, and unfair treatment. The property manager, Colleen, consistently demonstrated unprofessional behavior. When I reached out to express genuine concerns, she chose to portray herself as the victim and dismissed me by saying I was "ranting" instead of addressing the issues at hand. Her attitude was consistently rude and condescending, and I truly regret ever renting from this company. Despite having the home professionally cleaned and detailed, they still claimed that nothing was acceptable. More than half of my deposit was taken without proper justification. Instead of transparency, I was met with threats--Colleen told me that if I pursued small claims, I would lose simply because they "have an attorney." She even made degrading comments that implied I was somehow unhygienic because I have two small children. No parent should ever be spoken to that way. I requested a move-out walkthrough weeks in advance, emailing multiple times, yet I was refused on three separate occasions--despite providing proof. Rather than taking responsibility for their actions, they continually shifted the blame onto me. The entire experience felt misleading, manipulative, and completely lacking in basic respect or integrity. I am sharing this so others can avoid the stress, mistreatment, and emotional toll I went through. Please think twice before renting with this company. No one deserves to be robbed of their deposit or treated with such disregard and disrespect.

Do not rent from this company. Wrongly lost part of deposit and they only care about money.read more

There isn't anything that does not get handled promptly, completely, and with the utmost of integrity. It's literally automatic with these guys. In addition, they have a great pulse on the market. Over the past two years, even through the pandemic - they have been able to provide our guests with more dynamic rental opportunities to suit their needs. Whether that be longer term rentals in winter months, or weekend only vs weekly rates, etc. - they have maximized my return on investment while at the same time providing more flexibility to our guests. My house is booked almost every single day of the week through all seasons. I literally cannot say enough about Justin and the team at ECVR - they are simply the best.

‼ DO NOT STAY HERE ‼ Read before booking. Save the headache…read more This guy is very unprofessional I'm writing to express my frustration and disappointment regarding the cancellation of my Destin vacation rental reservation through Airbnb, which occurred only about a month before our scheduled trip. I had booked two rooms for a group trip involving multiple adults and children, and this last-minute cancellation has created a major inconvenience for everyone involved. As most people know, finding accommodations in Destin this close to summer travel dates is extremely difficult and significantly more expensive. We are now being forced to scramble to find another place that can accommodate our entire group, all because of a cancellation that could have been handled much more professionally. What made the situation even worse was the response I received when I called to ask about the cancellation. Instead of showing understanding or professionalism, Brad laughed and made comments implying that the rate I booked was "too cheap" and that there was "no way" the property was worth that amount. I booked the property directly through Airbnb at the listed rate, so any pricing issue should have been addressed internally -- not taken out on paying customers after reservations were already confirmed. After looking through the Google reviews for Emerald Coast Rental Vacation Homes, I noticed multiple other customers describing very similar experiences involving sudden cancellations and poor communication. That raises serious concerns about how business is being conducted. I also want to address something in advance: I've seen responses to negative reviews where claims are made that the reviewer "never booked" with the company. That is absolutely not the case here. I did book these properties through Airbnb, and I have screenshots, confirmations, and documentation to fully support everything stated in this review. This experience has been extremely unprofessional and disappointing. Canceling on families and groups shortly before their vacations puts people in difficult financial and logistical situations, especially when prices increase dramatically afterward. I hope future customers are made aware of these recurring issues before trusting this company with important travel plans.
