We drove 12 hours from Texas and arrived around 6:00 p.m., excited to begin our vacation. After picking up pizza from our favorite local restaurant, Roberto’s, we returned to the property and began settling in. Unfortunately, within only four or five minutes of my daughter using the guest bathroom shower, water began pouring through the ceiling above the kitchen table—from both dining-room light fixtures and the air vent. This was extremely concerning and created a serious safety issue, especially with water coming through electrical fixtures.Although the property included two golf carts, neither was fully usable. The blue cart could only be driven for approximately 20 minutes before slowing to about 13–15 mph. Because the resort’s speed limit is 23 mph in most areas, we frequently had long lines of cars and golf carts backed up behind us because the cart could not go any faster. The orange cart had more power, but its lights did not work, so we were unable to use it at night for the first five days of our stay.After the ceiling leak, my children were uncomfortable using the guest bathroom and did not shower in it for the remainder of the trip. We did not want to risk another leak or have to call maintenance again, so our family was essentially limited to one bathroom.We have vacationed in Destin six times, and this was by far our worst stay—yet it was also the most expensive. We understand that maintenance problems can happen, but having a major water leak and two unreliable golf carts significantly affected our comfort, convenience, and enjoyment of the vacation. Based on the price we paid, we expected the home and included amenities to be safe, functional, and properly inspected before our arrival. Unfortunately, this property did not meet those expectations.
