Do not recommend! Upon arriving to unit 810 @ edgewater we found cockroaches in the unit . We had not even un packed . I called the host and sent photos within minutes only to be told they would create a work order and get back to me later. I Explained we have small children and could not stay here with active cockroaches I asked for a full refund so we could find another place to stay. The host said there was nothing they could do for me and they have there protocols. I then contacted Air bnb who took this seriously and started the process of refunding . The host southern vacation has never got back to me and it has been 10 days . They re listed unit 810 as available the same day I sent photos of active roaches. I do recommend edgewater or southern vacations ! read more

We have been going to Edgewater for almost 10 years. The good thing is they are doing significant much needed updating to the property.(not condos) The bad thing is they do not tell you when you make a reservation. If I would have known at the time I made the reservation that there was going to be elevator replacement going on I most likely would have stayed somewhere else as most people in our group are elderly and have mobility issues. I did however get the email outlining that there will be construction going on, four days before our trip. (big help) Condo: We stayed in 811 which we have stayed in that unit in 2020. This unit needs a lot of work/updating. The hall bathroom commode did not flush fully. I had to plunge it after every use (with solids). The maintenance person looked at it and said it needed to be replaced and would have to contact the owner. There was a mold like growth under the primary bathroom sink. The bottom of vanity in the middle bathroom was deteriorated and nasty. To be fair there are some very nice condos however it is a roll of the dice when you pick the condo you want on what condition it is going to be. We most likely will not be returning to Edgewater which is disappointing because we really like it there. read more

I am posting as an owner of two units at Edgewater, units 906 and 1404. It's understandable that you may feel frustrated due to the replacement of our elevators. I get it. But also understand sometimes there never really is a good time to do repairs and or replacements. But it has to be done. I know I am not only speaking for myself but other owners when I say it's costing us a small fortune the past two years in major repairs and replacements. This is our home(s) and big investment. No different than how you would take care of your own home. Please don't bash us for making improvements. Come back again and see the changes that are being made. I take great pride in my two units. It is with great frustration that sometimes guests come in and do not respect our homes. One would be amazed at the lack of disrespect of treatment of other's personal property. So if you come in and see knicks on the walls, or something broken don't assume it's Edgewater's fault. It could have happened from a previous guest. As an owner from out of state I can't keep making trips to check in on our units. But I do replace many things every year. I have spent a small fortune on keeping appliances nice, new and operating. Bedding and furniture have been replaced on a regular basis. My decor is bright, beachy and airy for your comfort. I do understand some units may not have owners in a position to do these things like I do for whatever their reason. I guess what I'm trying to say is when you're in my home or someone else's there please remember it's someone's home. I want you to enjoy yourself and come again. read more

If you're ok with rules -- lots of rules -- this is a place to consider. Otherwise, you may want to look elsewhere. The condo we rented was very clean and nicely furnished. Its location was excellent, with beautiful views of the beach and ocean. It was quiet and relaxing. The do's and don'ts, however, were a bit much. There were several pages of guest information that included a section titled, "Violation of Policies and Rules." It explained that Edgewater Beach Condominium "reserves all rights to evict guests in violation of the policies," citing the relevant Florida statutory code. It further stated that the Walton County Sheriff's Office shall enforce these rights, citing another state code. Oh, and all monies paid will be forfeited. Welcome to Edgewater. At check-in, I don't recall ever signing so many documents at a resort, agreeing to do or not do certain things, including promising not to crawl from unit to unit using the balconies. If I were Spiderman I could understand the concern, but at my age, 68, this is pretty unlikely. There was a panoply of violations for which one could be fined or evicted. My personal favorite was the sign notifying guests that no children under age 14 could enter the hot tub, with the ominous warning: "Any guest found in violation of this policy will be immediately evicted." Another sign, this one on the Fitness Center door, advised guests: "Absolutely no one under the age of 18 allowed in the Fitness Center. Not even with a parent." One of the pool rules was: "Do not swallow the pool water." (You don't have to tell me twice on that one.) Our room even had a sign cautioning: "Please do not leave the balcony door open as it causes the front door to slam and may harm a person or the door itself." Really? The only way we can enjoy the ocean breeze and fresh air is on the balcony with the door closed? We have never experienced a restriction like that at any of the resorts we stayed at over a period of many years. It just seems a little weird to me. Rules are important and necessary, but when they become excessive and heavy handed they take some of the joy out of a vacation. Also, there was extensive construction taking place on the property during our visit, making access to the beach and pools more difficult than it should have been. Better detour signage and some pointers for getting around the construction areas at check-in would have been helpful. read more

We love Destin and the location of these condos, but we will not be going back. During our recent stay, our unit flooded and we had numerous issues with elevators not working. They moved us to another unit which was very run down and not handicap accessible for our daughter; a unit we would have never rented. When I asked the Condo President for some type of accommodation for our issues, she hung up on me. This condo complex is past it's prime. Go to Destin, but look elsewhere would be my recommendation. read more

For the amount of money you pay to stay here I strongly advise you to save your money! This was the first and last time staying here if you have a choice stay SOMEWHERE ELSE! Three of the four elevators were not working ( which at time of booking we were told they would be done by March) NOPE one working elevator for the entire complex. read more

Edgewater Beach Resort We checked in Monday June 26, Tuesday there was no a/c in our into until 8pm, we found bugs in the kitchen cabinets and bathroom, the ice maker makes about 20 cubes of ice at a time, there is some sort of construction which sounds like someone banging on pipes every day from 9am to 5pm and I've reported all these issues and no one seems to be concerned. We are staying in unit 1100, given the price we paid to stay here I expected a much better experience. We will not stay here again. read more

The red head front desk lady with the wide mouth is very rude. I needed to use the Port-a-John (restroom) but the gate was closed and couldn't get through. I walked to the office and she told me I couldn't walk through. I explained the situation and her remark was, and what do you want me to do? The maintenance guys and laundry employees are very nice and respectful. read more

My family and friends have been coming to Edgewater Beach Condominiums in Destin for 10 plus years together. Over the years, there have been more and more issues that arise which we have always dealt with because we have been bringing our kids here since they were little. One issue that is constant is the elevators not working. We've been told again and again that they will be fixed but this is never the case. We just stayed the end of July and there was literally one working elevator. ONE! The average wait time was 20 minutes if you were lucky. Most people took the stairs even when they were on the higher floors. Along with this, the main pool was not working the entire week. With all that being said, you would expect management to be apologetic but that was not the case at all. We were not given one apology. In fact, the management was rude and abrasive and would not let me speak on the phone. There is a group of 25 of us that come every year (some of us multiple times a year) and sadly that will be our last stay at Edgewater. I don't normally write reviews but for the money you spend at Edgewater, you will not get the service expected nor the accommodations. And, if I was an owner there, I would expect the management to provide the type of customer service that brings people back and can handle themselves professionally when things are broken/out of order. Apologies and a mild form of empathy go a long way to people who paid a lot of money to vacation here and spent a week with a pool not working and one working elevator. read more

The security guard handled our check in. He did not tell us how to get to the room or where the elevators are and he was very rude. We talked to the front desk the next morning and they didn't care about what would happen. Even the President of the condominiums had no concern on his behavior or of the front desk is behavior. All front deck staff President and security guards are just rude and don't care about your needs. It is a second class facility ran by fifth class individuals. Will not stay here again because of the people running the facility. read more

Regarding somewhere to stay- condo/location/pool- good. The heated pool is great, and there's plenty of parking. The beach is beautiful. So I'll give my star rating based on that* to be fair. My problem lies with this condo's security. Multiple families, including myself, had their shoes stolen and other personal belongings from inside the gate -in the same week. When i brought this to the front desk's attention- their response was 'we'll tell security.' However, they called me back (appreciated) to say there was nothing they could do about it, with no explanation or reason. When I asked if the condo's security could even access the security camera at all- it was a quick no. Even though there is a visible camera right above the hot tub that appeared to be pointed toward the gate. I never expected to get my belongings back, but i did expect security to have some type of action plan, especially when this did not just happen to one person but MULTIPLE people in the same week. Just a note that this place has made me and other families feel like it has no security plan. Especially if you live on the first floor condo-I'd recommend not leaving a single thing out there- your belongings will most likely be stolen, and since there's apparently zero accessible security cameras there is nothing this place can do about it! What's the poi read more

We've been coming here every summer for over 15 years, since before Hurricane Dennis wiped out a huge swath of the beach and the 3rd pool, and have brought multiple other families (and bookings) with us. Now, for some unexplained reason, either the condo owners or the management company has put in place a new policy that you can't also put your own beach chairs in front of their established chair line, meaning you can't put chairs near or in the water to relax. I imagine the reason is something like the owners not wanting others interrupting their own view of the water, so they decided to interfere with others' enjoyment of the beach. We'll be taking our business elsewhere. read more

Last day Edgewater 1009 roof top Terrace Condo managed by Edgewater. First, terrace is incredible, BUT falling apart. Unit is dated and needs lots of TLC from management. For season peak $5K/week...disappointed. Edgewater is unique design, but needs lots of upgrades. read more

I love Edgewater! We've stayed here twice and had great experiences both times. The property is older but this gives it charm. It is very well maintained with gorgeous grounds and facilities. The building curves slightly so that all units have great views of the gulf. We love that the building has a retro feel to it likely having been built in the 1970s. Most of the units have been updated and are very comfy and clean. The staff are extremely nice and helpful. Edgewater has amazing beach access and they include two beach chairs and an umbrella set up for you by the courteous and cheerful beach staff. The pool areas are clean and well maintained. There is a tiki hut cafe poolside that serves food and drinks. The staff there are very friendly and the food is really good. In real estate they say everything is location location location. In that regard, Edgewater can't be beat. There's a Winn Dixie across the street and the Silver Sands outlet mall is a short walk across the highway. Restaurants are also within easy walking distance if you don't feel like cooking! Overall, Edgewater offers an excellent vacation value. It's become our favorite spot on the gulf coast. read more

I am staying in a Terrace Unit 1306, and immediately upon arrival I notified them the sliding door to access the terrace was not working. I was told they "forgot" to tell me. They said it would be a couple of days to get the repair man to fix the issue in a very disrespectful and condescending manner. I was told the ticket was already scheduled. I was never told that prior to arrival that there was an issue with the unit especially with the numerous "restrictions" they list on the rental policy. On the second day I went to the front desk and ask when it would be repaired and she checked the calendar and said the ticket was put in nearly 4 weeks ago, due to there being only "one" repair man that works on these doors. Being the case why not notify the renter of the issue and give them the option to book another room or cancel. I notified them my pregnant daughter in law nearly had her arm slammed in the front door, due to us having to use this door to access the terrace. I notified them of this hazard by using the door for access. Again, was met with a smirk and attitude that there was nothing they could do. I said I could open their door and was threaten with being evicted with a smile her face. I have stayed at Edgewater for 7 years and will not be staying again due to the constant issues and now poor service. read more

If I could give this 0 stars I would. This place called us to tell us after we had made a reservation and placed a down payment to inform us of room renovations that would accommodate one less person than was initially advertised. The "compensation" offered was an AIR MATTRESS or a refund. Plan a whole family vacation, request off time for work, make all these accommodations, and pay thousands of dollars to have such poor customer service.... Just because they can. I'm already invested in this with family and friends also staying there in addition to all the planning. Unlikely to find another place to stay with such short notice.... Will never give this place my business again. read more

This place could be a very nice facility if they put their priorities straight. Since day one of being here, something has broke. One of the elevators went down, and after that elevator was fixed, the other elevator went down. Then the bathrooms by the pool both went down and there was no urgency to fix them. Instead of getting the bathrooms fixed, management was walking around trying to take towels off of chairs, claiming the people who reserved them, weren't even at the pool. WRONG. With it being so hot, most people were in the pool. Like many others, we too are mad about the chair rule in the water. We witnessed several other chairs up and down the beach with chairs in the water. I'm guessing the owners don't like it so they complained. Give the Walton County Sheriff's office a call and ask their opinion on this. The condos also weren't as clean as I expected. We found a used bar of soap under one of the beds and the floors didn't look like they had been cleaned. And to make us clean our own towels and provide our own toilet paper was outrageous. I have never been to a resort in Florida that required this but I guess I'm used to staying at nicer resorts than this. We will be returning to Siesta Key next year. But above all, their parking situation is the biggest joke. They have two parking garages, one that's 5'0 and one that's 6,0, neither of which were big enough for our SUV. When we asked management where to park if there were no spaces available outside, they just shrugged their shoulders and said they weren't sure. Instead of acting clueless, they should be policing the lots and make sure that cars that are small enough to fit in the garages, park in the garages. There were several cars small enough for the garage that were parked outside. read more

I think your experience here comes down to what condo you rent. We rented direct through a private owner and had a wonderful experience. The condo was immaculate, owner had been there herself to clean. The grounds are beautiful with grassy areas and 2 very nice pools. I would have like the heated pool to be a little warmer this time of year. Nice bathrooms down in the pool area. The snack shack wasn't open yet which was weird but that would have been nice. The beach service was friendly and helpful. The beach area itself I felt was the best kept in the nearby vicinity. In March it was never crowded- there were other buildings nearby that were much more crowded. It was nice to have underground parking. Condo is a gated property which was nice. Kids were able to walk to a variety of fast food restaurants for a snack if they wanted. read more

This is the first time we stayed in a condo in Florida. We usually stay in a beach house. For 1/3 of the price though, this is the way to go! The unit we stayed in was clean and comfortable. Beautiful views of the pool and beach. As parents of a 17 month old it was really nice to have the option of a shallow pool to play in versus the ocean. We would definitely recommend Edgewater to our friends. (We booked through a third party. We do not recommend this. The third party told us we had an umbrella and two chairs included in our reservation and that we could bring a canopy for the beach as long as it was under 6x6. Neither of these things were true. If you book through Edgewater you get the chairs and umbrella and canopies are not aloud.) read more

The condominiums are privately owned to my understanding and the condo we resided in was a literal dump. The furniture in the condo so old you can feel the springs when sitting on the couch or chairs. The vertical blinds in our unit had large missing sections resulting in useless blinds. To some it up, a week spent in a motel 6 would have been better than staying in unit 1101 at Edgewater. We won't be returning to this condo and will look at the numerous other options in the area. read more

Most traumatic vacation I've ever been on!!! We have been going to Destin, 30 plus years and have stayed at Edgewater many times!!! The staff is ruder than anything I've ever experienced.

DO NOT RENT UNIT 809 OR FROM STERLING RESORTS!!!! Well - this visit was less than ideal! Sterling Resorts was completely unresponsive to maintenance issues. They do not authorize service outside of normal business hours. We had no hot water and had to wait til Monday. Emails and phone calls were not returned. Maintenance voice mail box was "full" and management had no clue! Condo was awful. Very run down. Carpet was stained and dirty - absolutely disgusting. We are ore our shoes the entire time. Light fixtures falling off wall. Couches were old and flimsy. Beds also old and thin. Poor quality condo. read more

Room 1404 is very pretty and has exquisite decorations but, the room was so small the my mother and sister both have bruises on their legs from trying to move around the master bedroom. We have been coming to edgewater for 5 years and we always get a different room and this room is smaller than any we've stayed in before, i would give the over all condo about a 3 star rating just due to the fact that it could be more clean and nicer in certain parts of the establishment, overall the pools and beach are pretty nice, august is a great time to come, there is almost always seats at the pools and nice spots at the beach to sit, the tiki hut by the pool has a pretty good selection of food but the quality could be nicer, all the workers at edgewater are pretty nice and there were no issues there. the experience of staying at edgewater is very nice and we do plan on coming back read more

Booked a week reservation to Edgewater by phone . I was informed when I booked this that due to me booking within 30 days of us arriving that they did not offer trip insurance. I told the lady I would typically take the trip insurance so she said she would double check to see if I could purchase the insurance and call me back . I never heard back and due to crazy schedule I forgot . Upon arriving we were not allowed to check in till 5:00 pm. The next morning I received the worst phone call of my life from my father telling me my mother unexpectedly passed away in her sleep . We have a 9 hour drive back home . Edgewater told us there was nothing they could do to refund even part of our stay . They would not even offer a stay at a later date . Nothing no I'm so sorry nothing . About every business including airlines has a bereavement policy . I noticed the horrible reviews about their staff before booking ( mainly in regards to Suzanne Harris ) when I called last week they would not give me a managers contact info . The reservation was booked by me with my credit card . My husband called and spoke with someone there and he told them he wanted to settle this without taking any other resorts . The lady instantly said she would email their lawyers contact . Now when I called back they will not talk to me at all saying since a lawyer was mentioned they will not discuss with me . We do not have a lawyer . This is their way of trying to get rid of me . I just went through the worst experience of my life and this is how they are treating me . No one expects something as awful to happen the first day of your vacation . I would think they would want to do something to help me and my family . Apparently a very ruthless heartless business . You can't continue to thrive when you don't treat your guests as human beings. It will catch up with you If anyone has any advice for me please let me know read more

I love my Florida but this was a okay vacation so it started out like this we were really late like usually we had drove from petal Mississippi to destin/miramar beach Florida we all had our expectations high but once we got there it was like boom we were all alone the only person there was the cop the one cop I was like what and then they had the gate and we didn't have the same card and the code yet so we sat at the gate until someone blew there horn and opened the gate for us with there card but once we got in it was like every man for himself and we saw that it was old dark dark and dinky so we walked around until we saw the cop man /gaurd he gave us the card and the code to the room but the most weird part was that the lobby and the resort weren't connected so but that wasn't all it was run down ugly nasty the elevator was nasty lights were out nasty in the condo and the werst part was that it wasn't like emerald grand and seascape other resorts that we haves stayed in miramar Beach and destin Florida they have stuff for the first night and then u had to by every thing else it was very hot in the condo and I have asthma and the people that I wen t with don't and if they said its hot you know it's hot I almost had to go to the hospital we had a nice view but that's about all there was nice about the stay ? read more

Great place. Both heated and non heated pools, a kitty pool, a large hot tub, 2 sec walk to the beach, basketball court. The condo itself was a little retro but not too much. The tvs were definitely small and old but who needs to watch tv at the beach :) The condo shape allows each room to have an ocean view. We had a great relaxing time. read more
