They were very responsive and helped us with a virtual tour since we are out of town. They checked several properties for us until we found out our hidden gem. They know the area pretty well, also they know everything related to short term rentals, which was key for us. 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. Thanks Michele and Sandy for all your help!

We are a military family that owned a home in Crestview, FL. We reached out to Assurance Realty for…read moreProperty Management shortly after we moved. 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.

Now that my vacation has concluded and the ordeal facilitated by your company is behind us, it is time to formally address my reservation and the necessary course of action. The inexcusable circumstances created by the property owner and your firm's lack of due diligence resulted in significant, unnecessary distressing of which could have been easily preempted had your agency performed a rudimentary inspection to enforce basic health and comfort standards. The property was in a state of advanced dilapidation, characterized by decrepit furnishings and a poorly repaired front door. Most egregious was the lack of sanitation; specifically, the sofa and chairs were marred by disgusting, visible residue of a sexual nature left by previous occupants. Furthermore, the shower was severely discolored with yellow staining. I have attached several representative photographs; however, these only capture a fraction of the pervasive issues encountered. Given the severity of these grievances.

The hot tub was very dirty looking as well. Nice unit but the owner would be better off handling it themselves.

My husband and I stayed with Five Star Properties twice last summer. The views in both places - a…read morehome and a condo - were breath taking. Both rentals also had pool access, the home a private, heated pool that we greatly enjoyed. In addition to the properties though, the staff was excellent! We had trouble finding the first location because our gps was down and customer service guided us over the phone to the property. We also had a complementary fresh sweet bread and bottled waters left for us during our second stay. I highly recommend a stay with Five Star Beach Properties - they make the booking process (over the phone or via their user friendly website) easy, the properties are one of a kind with state of the art amenities and great views, and the customer service is fantastic.

Read the reviews and see how many bookings have been canceled! This property canceled our vacation…read morerentals without any phone call or any heads up that this could happen. We booked our rentals in Feb and got an email at the end of April that they canceled our reservations. If we wanted something else we would have to pay 6000.00 more. I explained this trip was for our dad's 80th bday and flights have already been purchased and they did not care. We are stuck with no vacation and 20+ people who have paid for flights and when I asked to speak to a manager and a copy of my agreement I heard nothing. Please do not rent from this property. I guess this company really is all about ruining your vacation plans.

They have ignored our demand letter and filing a complaint with the local governing body! The rats had made a home under the bed; they were burrowing in a brown tarp under the bed!! Do not rent The Back Porch! It's in deplorable condition! The owners of the property don't care either! I would sue them but it would cost me more in legal fees than my hotel stay and they know that! I wouldn't recommend them to anyone! They are just greedy and could care less about their customers

We have been staying at Destin Towers for about 10 years for vacation and its been so disappointing…read moreto see how unkept each unit is as well as the the building. We stayed here in June of 2024 and didn't notice this until our last day there, but when we would run the hot water in the kitchen a dirt like substance would come out of the water and we're hoping we didn't consume whatever that was. The very few pans that are available are peeling with teflon that goes into your food when cooking. Not sure how thorough the cleaning service is, but we found tons of dirt/dust small papers and hairbands under the master bed. The rug in the living room is ATROCIOUS! The bedding is absolutely disgusting and filthy. it felt like our unit was falling apart. We walked in and noticed the curtain rod was falling off the hook in the living room. The handle on the master closet door was on a shelf in the closet and it seems like nothing has been updated in this unit in all the years we've been staying here. Same old couches, nasty rugs and deteriorating kitchen pans. We sent this information to property management with no response. However we decided to give them the benefit of the doubt and stayed again for Labor Day weekend 2024. We drive overnight to arrive by morning so we are on no sleep our first day here. This night we are getting ready to have dinner at the table and hear water spilling. In the hallways entry of our unit theres a huge leak Coming through the light fixture, vent, sprinkler. We reach out to the after hour "emergency " number they take forever to send someone. The smoke alarm then starts going off, our kids are hysterical and scared at this point. We ask if they can relocate us they said no other units available. There was no resolution as far as refunding us our money and finding us other accommodations. Not the slightest help even for clean up. So here we are first night of vacation on hands and knees cleaning water off the floor with bath towels as instructed by the emergency services representative since there is no mop or cleaning supplies! Absolutely unacceptable! And the cherry on top... no internet

We also called to have the pool heated and at 10 am they charged our card $417. At around 1:30 arrival we had no heated pool, a dirty pool and I called and the lady told me she would have someone come out. We also let her know about door knobs falling off and toilet lids falling off. Maintenance comes out and says he's only here for the doors and toilet and said he will check for us the pool heater but it was off and would be tomorrow before it was warm. But they sure charged us?! The pool was never cleaned and still 6 hours later no clean pool. Trash outside around pool. I called about the house because nobody should have to give such hard earned money and drive that far with little kids to have a nasty house.
