Ariel Dunes by Seascape Resort

Summer vacation

Reviewed By lucy2007Ohio

We stayed in Aerial Dunes 2 room 607. Room was ok . Needs some painting and updating for sure! Great location, walk across to the beach. Whales tails is just over bridge. Restaurant at resort has good food but understaffed like every other place in Florida. Would definitely stay here again.

What an amazing place!

Reviewed By Mandi24

This was our first trip to HSRC and definitely won’t be our last! Honestly, everything was amazing. We stayed in unit 619. Everything was clean and updated. The condo was furnished with everything we could need. They even have a great fan for sleeping (if you’re one who needs one to sleep you understand.) As for the resort itself, everyone was super nice and helpful. The grounds were clean and the pool was warm and refreshing. It’s a very easy walk down to the beach and the beach service (2 chairs and umbrella) were so wonderful. We loved the location on Holiday Isle. It’s a quiet area, but just minutes from everything Destin has to offer. Honestly, there’s nothing we would have changed and can’t wait to book our next trip.

If you like the smell of dead fish and pot then 2E Echo Island is for you

Reviewed By LAM4003

Was recommended but I would never use again. We paid 2500 for 4 nights to stay in a condo that smelled like dead fish. Sheets in the second bedroom had a pee stain in one bed. Hair in the other bed. My friend and I ended up sharing the master. Turned out the smell was from a broken garbage disposal. They fixed that on Saturday but took until Sunday to get the smell out. There was a leak under the kitchen sink too along with a running toilet in the second bathroom. Part of the building on the right was under construction. Fitness room code did not work. The smell of pot coming from the property constantly was disgusting. We were speaking with a family from Minnesota on the beach and they also thought their unit was dirty and not up to par.

Harbor Landing

Unhappy vacationer

Reviewed By Firstimeskier

Let me start by saying that the condo and the grounds were absolutely beautiful. Unfortunately, that was all there is good to say about this property. First thing to go wrong was we rented through Booking.com. This company charged us $3600 for five nights. I did not realize until it was to late that I could have booked through Holiday Isle Properties and paid $2900 total. Booking.com claims to price match but WOULD NOT come down off the price and I even had proof. Such a joke so PLEASE DO NOT book through Booking.com unless you do your research first. We were so overcharged. It makes me sick. We picked this place because we have a boat and wanted to have it with us and also be close to the beach. I was traveling with my husband and two daughters, 17 and 23. We arrived around 11pm due to some unfortunate trailer problems along the way. A normally five hour drive turned into a nine hour nightmare. We were absolutely exhausted and I was car sick so my husband dropped me off at the condo before he went to launch the boat. Immediately after entering the gate we were greeted with the rudest man I have ever met. He told us that we were not supposed to have a boat and trailer on the property and told us that he was going to send us a fine. We had not even been there two minutes. It was a heart sinking moment to be treated so unkind. We were aware that we could not store our boat trailer on the property, but we did not realize that we could not even drive it on the property. Apparently, there was a sign at the front gate but we did not see it. We were more worried about getting the code to work. We messed up but his rudeness was uncalled for. The sign was there but we somehow overlooked it upon our arrival. He was so rude and made us feel so very unwelcome. It was definitely not a good first impression. We also had two cars and were told that the second car had to be parked in the over flow parking lot which was a very long walk away. It was actually in a shell lot across a canal from the property. There were plenty of available spots close to the condo. It made no sense to park so far away considering how much we were paying to stay there. It is summer time and way to hot to be walking over a block away to get to your car. Especially after you have just showered. It’s crazy how they can get away with this. Harbor Landing was beautiful but the people and inconveniences of staying there make it a very undesirable property for us. We love Destin and vacation there very often but We will NEVER stay at Harbor Landing again. Waterview Towers is a much better option if you have a boat. The people, the place, the location, the price, and the view are seriously SO much better.

Sundestin Beach Resort

Unit 1401

Reviewed By IMTru

Back to Destin after many years. Unit 1401 was underwhelming but only for three nights. Old and outdated, IMO. Kitchen understocked IMO. Had to request simple things like a spatula and baking tray. Two bedroom unit with only two chairs on a tiny balcony. Two tiny card table chairs were delivered. No personal umbrellas on the beach but smoking OK. 12oz can of beer at the bar for $6. Could not imagine paying high season prices. TRAFFIC!! I guess it's back to the Turquoise at Orange Beach. Returned home with an upper respiratory infection. Enjoy!!

Nice place

Reviewed By justinwJ6075QQ

Nice place. We stayed in 1206, 3 bedroom 2 bath condo. The condo was clean and stink free. Check in instructions were sent about 48 hrs before check in. All the codes were correct. The heated pool was nice, quite large with plenty of spectator seating. The property itself is getting close to needing a facelift but that does not detect from the experience. The beach access is just across the road. Nice place, we would stay there again.

Great Location and Extremely Easy Access to the Beach

Reviewed By txgirl1997

This complex is older, but the unit we stayed in was remodeled and very nice. The best thing about Shoreline Towers is the location and how easy it is to get to the beach. Super convenient! The beach service was very nice, however, one afternoon we were rushed out of our chairs. We weren't sure what time the service was to end, but it was 5:51 PM, so it seemed a little early to us. There is a pool, but it is not as close as the beach is to the units (we were in tower 1), so we never even tried it out. The property management was excellent. We had a couple of issues (AC and bathtub drain), but both problems were corrected promptly. We would definitely recommend this property and would stay there again.
