    white fridge they show in virtual tour. Small black fridge without any freezer component is what was in the unit 711a.

    One of the worst experiences ever. Stayed in room 711a Oct 2023. I spent more time being frustrated before even going on the trip trying to get access to the pool before the 4pm checkin. And once there and checking into the room found other things to be frustrating that never got addressed properly. Never in my life have I gotten shut out for using facilities when arriving earlier than check-in. I understood the ridiculously strict check in time of 4pm but I wasn't trying to get in the unit I just wanted to use the pool when arriving at 9:00am on a Saturday. Seriously the HOA operations manager is beyond ridiculous. Once getting into the unit which was 75degrees on a fall day you are only allowed to set ac temp to 72degrees which is ridiculous. The virtual tour of unit 711A showed a small white refrigerator that took up the entire space allotted for it. Picture attached. I've stayed in many resort style studio condos and the refrigerator ALWAYS had a freezer component. Upon arrival there is a much smaller black refrigerator in the allotted space with a huge gap in between top of fridge and counter with NO FREEZER component. So Get this the closest ice machine was on the lobby level of a 16 floor resort. AND they charged 25cents for a small bucket of ice!! Unacceptable and when I contacted Vacasa they gave me the lame story that a refrigerator was not listed as in the unit. They protect their amenities like they are some thing special and they are not, so like the non existent early checkin their checkout policy is the same. Once you check out at 10am you are NO LONGER allowed to use their facilities. How stupid is that. Stay away if you don't like being frustrated.

    The view of the beds from the entrance of the room

    Weekend Studio Getaway (Room 711 A) The location of the resort was great, right across the street from the beach. It is a dated resort that could use some updating as well as the room. The room with small balcony is located on the back of the building facing another condo and the top of the parking garage which includes the basketball court, tennis court, volley ball and shuffle board. The "ocean view" can be seen by leaning over the balcony and looking to the right of the building at a distance. The bay can also be seen miles away from the balcony. The room was a hotel like room /studio with a sink when you first walk in, a bathroom with shower and 2 queen beds. There is a microwave, small fridge and coffee pot. They did not supply bath soap in our room but they did have towels, wash cloths, shampoo, conditioner and dish soap they also had an iron, a few plates, utensils, a George Foreman grill and a blender. The beds were comfortable but the room was very bright and missing slats in the vertical blinds. There is also an adjoining door to the condo next door as you first walk in. Our only complaint was the room could have been cleaned much better there were candy wrappers, a flip flop and a CBD bottled of something left under the beds from previous guests and dust all around the edges by the beds and nightstand . The rest of the room, bathroom and linens were clean and the room smelled fresh and clean upon arrival . Our stay was great and we enjoyed the resort amenities, we would stay here again. The on-site restaurant was really good and updated. They also have a spa, pool, hot tubs and a gym. We rented through VRBO which went through Vacasa and our room was $53 a night plus cleaning and fees. Totally unheard of price across from the beach and in a resort, so we can't complain there at all.

    The view is amazing. The condos are very dated and so are the common areas. Condos are individually owned so some are very outdated. Very convenient to beach and food.

    Razor with white substance left in shower

    Me and my husband went to Surfside resort in Destin Flordia this past weekend. The room was not up to par on cleanliness. Not worth the money we paid. The shower had a razor left in it with a white substance beside it. There was a razor under the microwave. The blow dyer was broken. Half the blinds were missing. The missing blinds were in the closet floor and under the bed. Trash was left in the bathroom trash can with no bag. Only one chair was on the balcony so we couldn't even sit together. You had to pay for ice out of the ice machine but they did not give anything to put the ice in. Only one of the hot tubs were working. When I asked for an ice bucket for the ice, I was told to use a bowl out of the room. No bowls were in our room. Then was told they are not a hotel. I told them they sure are set up like one. We booked here because stayed about 5 years ago and they were great then. They are ran down now.

Upon arrival, we checked into the reception and, after showing ID, were assigned a room with two queen beds. The room was decent with 2 queen beds and an accessible sofa bed. However, the queen beds didn't feel like standard queen size. The hotel provides a complimentary breakfast buffet and offers made-to-order omelettes. The best part was the made-to-order option, where the chef prepared the omelettes exactly to the customer's specifications. The hotel also has a convenient private beach. You can easily access it using the gate code, and we all enjoyed spending time there. Embassy Suites was an excellent choice, offering good amenities including the private beach access.

The first room we were put in I sweat all night. The ladies at the front desk were so accommodating to get us a cool room. The night lady and early morning ( I should have gotten there names) went above and beyond to move us. They actually went to several rooms to find the coolest one. They gave us a voucher for $25 to use at the restaurant. We moved to a new room and it was much cooler. I was very pleased. The housekeeping does not clean your room. They exchange towels and give you new coffee bios and coffee. We had sand on us from the beach and it's very visible. They did not clean the floors nor the bathroom. The only reason we stayed here is because of the ladies at the front desk. Otherwise we would have found a different hotel. Breakfast is included, you get 2 free drinks per person a night and snacks. There's not very much to see at this location except the beach and a nice walking strip.

It is obvious, however, that each unit is owned by an individual and not by the resort itself. The unit that we were in was clean, comfortable, and the view was amazing. However, it did need some updates and modernization. This was a girls' trip myself and three other women were very comfortable in our condo. We were able to enjoy the ease of getting to the main attractions within Destin, Florida, and the comfort of returning to a spacious condo in the evening. The beach is gorgeous. The sand is perfect, and we were able to enjoy the waves! I will say that the instructions for use of the property were confusing. We were told that 2 chairs and an umbrella came with the package. Yet when we approached the stand to get the chairs and umbrella, we were told that they should be in the room which they were not. There was a exorbitant fee to rent chairs and umbrellas directly on the beach. We did face an issue at the pool. Our group of four African-American women upon entering the pool area were asked if we were supposed to be there. (That however, is not Sandestin Golf and Beach Resort's issue that is humanities issue!) By the same token, we met some extraordinary guests, with whom we enjoyed time in the pool and had a conversation on the property! Overall, I would say that I enjoyed my stay and would return to this property in the future!

There is a sweets suite that has granola bars, popcorn, soda, oranges and apples, goldfish, an ice and water machine, espresso machine (that also makes hot cocoa), and ice cream bars! No need to pack extra snacks for your little ones on this trip! The rooms are large and the balconies have a gorgeous view of the bluest turquoise waters- it reminded me of being in the islands! The turndown service brings you fresh homemade cookies every night (so don't use your DND!). The staff onsite are super accommodating, the drinks at the bar are delicious, and the food is good as well. The pool drinks are more expensive if you go to the beach club next door. The pool area has a huge sunscreen dispenser (never seen one of these), ice water, fire pits (free to use). There is a tiny gym off the lobby (open 24/7). It has one treadmill, one elliptical, free weights, one bench, on pulley system and a Lululemon mirror thing. No one seemed to use it, so that was nice. The beach is powdered sugar soft a the ocean is clear and calm. It was an OASIS! The only surprise is that there isn't any drink service. Luckily the pool bar wasn't too far away. There is a free trolley you can take to other pools like the Watercolor Club (for kids), and other locations. There are some eateries within walking distance (however not a ton). The whole town is walkable and bike friendly. If you're a runner, there's a paved walkway that goes alongside the main road for miles and miles. I stuck to the trails behind the houses and loved it! It was secluded and woodsy, and yet I still saw houses so it didn't feel unsafe. This was probably one of the best vacations I've been on- it felt foreign but was stateside. Everyone enjoyed it- myself, my husband, our toddler, and my older in-laws. It's worth every penny! And bonus: the AC works amazingly! You can have a cold room and the ceiling fan makes it even better! The housekeeping was also phenomenal! Everyone was friendly and did such a great job! They gave us more shampoo, etc without us even having to ask. My only cons- I wish the free bike rental had helmets. I don't trust drivers when I have a little one to take care of, and the pool pump was loud so we couldn't really hear the ocean from the balcony, but not a deal killer.
