Looks like there's only 20ish units total in the whole building. The building, it's green areas and surroundings was clean and very well kept. Balcony of the unit was good sized with a bench plus a table and 4 chairs. There is also a beautiful view and access to the balcony through the master bedroom .

Blue Surf Unit #2: Reservation: Always easy with VRBO…read more(simply pick your time if it's available) Communication: Owners will say that messaging on VRBO is not their preferred method of communication. Location: Excellent spot next to the public beach and Pompano Joe's--this is our fifth stay at Blue Surf! Blinds: There have been many negative comments about this issue already! A street light kept us awake all night in the upstairs bedroom (resulting in poor sleep), and downstairs lacks privacy (a bit unsettling). Additionally, there are missing slats in the living room blinds, all of which really affects sleep quality and personal privacy (spoils a vacation). Wi-Fi: Upstairs, where we use the internet most, the connection is terrible. The signal is weak throughout the unit. Consider upgrading the Wi-Fi or relocating the modem upstairs. Carpets: The carpets are very old and stained. A thorough steam clean would be a good idea. Stairs: There's a hole in the wall near the stairs, covered only by a flimsy plastic plate--not very classy. TV: The TV in the upstairs bedroom doesn't work well; cable service is spotty. Stationary: There were no facial tissues provided, and we found there wasn't enough toilet paper. Outside Hose: Other units have hoses for cleaning feet and beach items, which could help preserve the carpets. Unfortunately, our unit was missing this amenity. Additional Fan: The extra fan provided didn't work properly; the motor was loose in the frame, making it unsafe to use. Extras: This unit is quite basic, lacking any worthwhile extras. Some units offer snacks and toiletries, but here we found rubber bracelets instead. Bathrooms: Seemed semi-remodeled but towel rack upstairs was falling out of wall and upstairs bathroom floor had low spots/flex. Downstairs faucet was pouring water too close to rear of sink making even washing hands awkward. Other Blue Surf units we've stayed at which were way better: #4, #9, and #12.

488 Driftwood, Unit 97F Extremely Disappointing Stay -…read moreUnsafe, Poorly Managed, and Unprofessional Our stay at a property managed by OhanaDestin.com (hosted by Liron) was by far the worst Airbnb experience we've ever had. We arrived after 6 PM on June 27th, past our scheduled 4 PM check-in, after an overnight drive from Texas with 11 guests, including a family member recovering from nasal surgery. We were shocked to find a woman inside the unit claiming to be "changing the A/C filter"--though she had no tools or filter and left empty-handed. Within minutes, it became obvious the A/C was completely broken, and the house was over 80°F with high humidity. What's most troubling is that the host clearly knew the system was down but never told us. Instead, we were checked into an uninhabitable home with no warning or chance to make alternate plans. Instead of calling a licensed HVAC technician, they sent a general maintenance worker who didn't know what he was doing. My husband, a licensed HVAC tech, had to diagnose the system himself--it was beyond repair and needed full replacement. In the meantime, we were given four flimsy fans and later one portable A/C unit, which we installed ourselves. It cooled one small room where four people slept in bunk beds. The rest of the house remained unbearably hot. This wasn't just uncomfortable--it was dangerous for our recovering family member. We were briefly offered a one-night stay in a different unit but were told we'd have to move out the next morning. That wasn't a viable solution for a large group who booked months in advance. On top of that, the property was poorly maintained: * Tiles were lifting, creating a tripping hazard (especially for our child). * The kitchen had dead German roaches, which was disgusting. * Beach gear listed as an amenity was extremely worn and unusable. The A/C wasn't replaced until Monday afternoon--60 hours after check-in. No one told us it had been completed. The host called afterward to ask if it "seemed like it was working," because they hadn't followed up with the HVAC company. We were then asked to uninstall, pack, and place the heavy portable A/C unit by the front door--which we did. It stayed there untouched for days, just like the fans, reminding us of the lack of care shown throughout. We politely requested a refund for three nights. The host initially agreed to refund two, but after we followed up and contacted Airbnb ourselves, she revoked the offer, claiming she would now "go by Airbnb policy." The timing felt retaliatory and unprofessional. Her communication throughout was defensive, impersonal, and performative--more concerned with protecting herself than helping us resolve anything. We understand that problems can arise--but what matters is how a host handles them. In this case, there was: * No transparency * No urgency * No accountability * No compassion If you're thinking of booking through OhanaDestin.com, please proceed with caution. This wasn't a small inconvenience--it was a serious failure in guest care and hospitality. We share this not out of anger, but to help other families avoid a similar experience. Had this been handled with honesty, urgency, and basic professionalism, this review would not be necessary.

CAUTION: Read Before Booking -- You've Been Warned…read more I won't go into every detail here, since several members of my group have already shared the full nightmare we experienced at this property (488 Driftwood, Unit 97F -- OhanaDestin.com). But here's the quick version for anyone still considering giving these people your money. After driving 16 hours overnight from Texas, we arrived exhausted--only to find the A/C completely non-functional. That's right: no air. In Florida. In summer. With 11 guests and 4 dogs in a 3-bedroom unit. You'd think a multi-million-dollar operation would be prepared for something as basic as this, or at the very least, offer a decent solution. Instead, they moved us to a different unit for just one night--and made sure to kick us out by 10 AM the next morning because another guest was coming. How thoughtful. We were then left to sweat it out for nearly 60 hours--two full nights and most of three days--without A/C. Their "above and beyond" response? Four cheap plastic fans that did nothing but circulate hot, sticky air around the unit. It honestly felt more like punishment than hospitality. Eventually, they dragged in a single portable A/C unit--days later--because apparently, a property this size wasn't prepared for an A/C failure. Unbelievable. We didn't ask for the world. Just to not suffer through a Florida heatwave like animals. Had they responded with urgency--say, four portable A/Cs or an immediate transfer--we likely wouldn't even be writing this. But no. Instead, we got delay after delay and some of the worst communication I've ever experienced from a host. And speaking of the unit itself... well, let's just say the photos were flattering. Think "affordable housing but make it beachy." Roaches? Yep--German roaches. Vinyl flooring peeling up. Broken beach gear (so don't count on those umbrellas or carts). It honestly felt like the property had long stopped trying. We paid nearly $4,000 for this experience. And the "compensation"? A 30% discount on just two nights--not even a full refund for the nights we suffered without A/C. That came out to a measly $400. For reference, I wouldn't stay here again even if it were free. Save yourself the stress. Spend your money somewhere else--anywhere else--where guests are treated like actual human beings and not an afterthought. This place? A joke. And not a funny one.

First off, the time share crew is very aggressive with getting you to sign up for a presentation. My husband had to decline four times before he could get the key to our condo. A woman who identified herself as Paige straight up fabricated "an issue" with someone being listed on our Wyndam contract other than me and my husband. I called the Wyndam title department and had them scour my contract agreements. No one other than my husband and myself were listed on our contract. So what happened was this manager named Paige was trying anything she could to get us in a room to meet some sales quota. Second, the condos were half empty during Spring break. That should tell you something. But even half full, we were placed by the only condo on our floor undergoing construction. We were awakened by power tools that were loud enough to run us out of our condo every morning, including Saturday. I called to find out which rooms were undergoing construction. Six rooms were being renovated. Four on the ends of two floors for handicap access and two on other floors. Out of all the condos we could have been placed, we get the worst of the worst and we are gold members. If this is how we were treated as "valued Wyndam owners," just image how poorly you will be treated.

I changed the sheets myself with those in the bag in the closet. I'm only here 36 hours anyway. The kitchen is missing some things, the bathroom isn't fresh/updated but it's serviceable. There's a washer and dryer stackable in the room. Nice chaise sofa. The kitchen table with banquette is useful. I spent most of the day on the balcony watching the water. For what I needed, a place to stop on the way to Pompano, it was fine. Housekeeping could do a better job, the review would be better.
