30A Dream Rental
by Western Springs IL
★★★★★ 5 of 5
Overall Comment
We thoroughly enjoyed our 2 month stay on 30A. This townhouse was perfect for our getaway. The beds were comfortable, the kitchen well stocked with top of the line cookware, big screen tv in living room, etc.
The daily beach chair service made it seem like we were at a resort. The location was absolutely outstanding. Hearing the sound of the waves was amazing! The beautiful sandy beach where we could walk for miles was a plus! This was our first time to this area of Florida and we were impressed and will return again! In addition, the management company was outstanding and very responsive.

Perfect spot for a couple or a young family who doesn't need a lot of space. Overall the townhome was updated and clean. Kitchen was nicely stocked with the basics. If stairs are a problem, it would be difficult getting down to the beach as there were many stairs. The complimentary beach chair/umbrella set up was a nice touch.Checking in and out was a breeze. We would definitely stay here again.

Our stay at 33 Seabreeze Trail
by Nashville TN
★★★★☆ 4 of 5
Overall Comment
Overall, our stay here was nice. We enjoyed being so close to the beach (just an easy walk right across the street), and the place was clean and comfortable.
With that said, the challenges we experienced staying here were numerous including 1)The fact that we couldn't rent beach chairs with umbrellas was a big issue for us. Had we known this wasn't possible in advance, we wouldn't have rented this place. We needed this for our group, and it was way too cumbersome to set up each day on our own. We were very disappointed that we weren't aware of this until one week before we arrived. 2)The parking was challenging, especially since the parking area was wide open with multiple empty spaces. But, we were given only two marked options for parking. This is a large home, and there were eight of us. We needed more parking options. 3)The pool was very disappointing. 4)For those staying on the top floor suite, the road outside is very congested and it's quite loud. It's not a restful stay.
But, despite these challenges, I'd still recommend the place. I would just want to know this going in.

This was our first visit to the area l, and we absolutely loved it. The rental was extremely clean, had such a beachy feel and it had everything we needed. The owner even added a birthday cake and adult beverages for husband’s 50th birthday. The location was perfect. We loved having the shops and restaurants right below us. The live entertainment each night was one of our favorite parts of our stay. We also rented bikes for the week, and loved biking around. We are already planning a trip back over the summer and will definitely be using Russell Vacation Rentals! Thank you for a perfect family getaway!

After waaay too much time spent researching the best places to stay in SanDestin, it was ultimately the 2 golf carts perk that made the decision for us. The fun yet tasteful beach-themed decor ads to the charm of the place and makes you feel welcomed as soon as you walk in the door! Well stocked, the condo was clean and comfortable, and we all agreed was even nicer than the pics showed! We throughly enjoyed our stay & will come back again next year!

This property was amazing and we are planning our next trip already!
Pros:
Well maintained property. it was clean and smelled that way when we walked in. The beach is literally steps away (although if anyone has mobility issues it may be too many stairs), and located between Alys Beach and Seaside - perfect location.
Cons:
Someone entered the property to install a fire extinguisher - would have been nice if this was done before our stay. A screen for the porch slider would be great to avoid mosquitoes coming in.

Great little beach cottage only a short walk from the sand (less than 5 minutes). We loved having the pool and hot tub right out the back door! We have stayed in the little community once before, and we loved both experiences. The house had one small maintenance issue and it was resolved quickly with a phone call to the property manager, who was very nice & helpful. Would definitely recommend staying here!

Best Little Place on a Lake in Sandestin
by St. Louis MO
★★★★★ 5 of 5
Overall Comment
This is our 3rd time in this home and it is as lovely as the first. The street is quiet, as most in Sandestin, but the real highlight of this one in the little deck overlooking the lake in the back. Plenty of sun, but also plenty of shade; turtles, kingfishers, eagles and of course squirrels abound. The beds are comfortable; a large walk in closet in the back bedroom with the washer and dryer makes that part of vacation easy! The golf cart is great for all those little excursions within the resort bounds. Only good times here! Clean, bright, welcoming space. Sufficient start up supplies. Thank you so much!

This home was exceptional! It was very clean when we arrived and had no issues through out the stay. The home is very large and spacious. It has a putting green and pool right out the front porch and the house even had putters and golf balls so you can go enjoy that area. The golf cart was fabulous and is a must to have to get around the Baytowne area and to drive to the beach. It’s about a 5 minute ride on the golf cart to the Baytowne Wharf and around 8 minutes to the beach. Russell Vacation Rentals was great to work with and I will be using them again the next trip down to Sandestin.

Seacrest Stay at High Point

This condo is decorated nicely. It is has a better view of the ocean than a lot of other units. We did have to call Russell Vacation Rentals upon arrival because my husband who is 6 foot 3 and 195 lbs could not open the patio door. We were afraid the handle would come off. Russell was so kind and accommodating. Luckily we got it open and just didn’t close it tightly. Some instructions for the dishwasher would be nice. I couldn’t figure it out so washed dishes. Loved our stay though, but unfortunately had to leave a day early because of Helene. That stunk. Also loved having the Tiki bar. Great food and drinks

2 adult couples. We stayed here for three nights before meeting our group of 10 here or our weeks vacation at a house on the beach.
Our second time to rent through Russell vacations. They are very easy to work with and very accommodating.
This unit is on the second floor, so be aware there are steps which isn’t bad was sort of inconvenient when checking in and carrying your luggage and everything upstairs.
The unit is very clean. We loved the deck that overlooked the golf course and the bay area. We are big pickle Ballers so we went to the Sandestin tennis complex and played Pickleball every morning.
We had an issue with the toilet and maintenance. Was there immediately and fix the issue.
The beds were very comfortable. It would be nice in the secondary bedroom to have had a nightstand and lamp on each side of the bed.

The home was beautiful and clean. With the personal golf cart and location, we rarely had to leave the gated community. We paid less to rent a whole house than we would have for a 1 bedroom hotel with no kitchen or sitting area. The correspondence was easy and they even called to confirm the day of. I rate the whole experience 10/10 and recommend Russell Vacation Rentals to anyone planning a trip to the beach. We already have plans to return next year!

Great Location and View
by Naples FL
★★★★★ 5 of 5
Overall Comment
The property is beachfront although the buildings are back away from the beach. The condo had a nicely remodeled kitchen and bathrooms. We had minor issues with the internet and burned-out light bulbs which were eventually addressed. Employees of Russell Vacations were extremely helpful.
Negatives: Floors were very dirty and the old sliding doors barely closed. These need to be replaced (this might be an HOA issue). The noise from the pool equipment below the unit droned on all night making sleeping difficult (might not bother everyone). We had not been to the area before and were surprised that many of the beaches are private property. We were told to leave one area even though we were outside of the private property signs. Not a problem in Naples. Beautiful views and scenery, but we won't be back to the area.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, particularly the lovely view and time spent on the beach. Our only BIG disappointment was the referral to La Dolce Vita for bike rentals. Our advance reservation fell through and agents were not helpful. I think guests would be better served by referrals to local businesses.

Perfect, Family Friendly Stay
by Irvine NA

My family + I had an amazing time here! The room is very nice + comfortable with a lovely view. It did not disappoint in any way, it was just as described and pictured. There's many food spots, activities, pool (a few steps away) and a lot more to enjoy. Plus, the beach is a short ride away. Also, the Russell Vacation Rentals team is awesome. Hours after departing Florida, my husband realized he'd left his wedding ring in the room. Already knowing the policy that any items left behind would be discarded, he immediately panicked. I hurriedly contacted the Russell Vacation team. Shelby quickly responded and informed me that the housekeeper, Genesis, had found it AND had already reported it to management. The property manager agreed without hesitation to ship the ring to us and the matter was resolved within a couple hours. We were and still are so thankful + relieved. And my husband is somewhat out of hot water (haha)! We highly recommend booking here for 10/10 service and a 10/10 stay!!

It was a nice place. It was in a good location. The only thing we found somewhat frustrating was the parking. There were a few times where cars from other condos were parked in front of our place and at times we were not able to park the golf cart in a spot because there were cars from other condos already parked in the spot where our golf cart was supposed to go so it could be plugged in. Overall, it was mostly clean. Just a heads up, we did see dead cockroaches in the upstairs bathroom closet carpet.

The condo was just ok. It was clean but it’s a very tight condo lots packed into the rooms. Biggest complaint is that I didn’t know we were on a public beach. Had to get up between 5:30-6:30 to put your personal chairs out so you had a spot close to the water. The chair rental guys didn’t set up until 8:00. They majorly need black out curtains in the master bedroom, very outdated curtains and some of the panes were missing. The tvs didn’t work properly in the kids room or master. The pool needs an upgrade. Did kill a cockroach the last night in the closet. Pros are it’s next door to a donut shop, a seafood market, two nice restaurants close by and a great jogging path.

The location is FANTASTIC!! The beach access is literally across the street. Also walking distance is a wine/cocktail bar and a cute little walk up for coffee & popsicles. There are two dedicated parking spaces for the unit - which is also nice! The house had all we needed: toaster, cooking utensils, ice maker, towels, coffee maker, iron, hair dryers, etc. The 4 bedroom/4 bathrooms were perfect for our 2 families of four. The only negatives we had were: the community pool was VERY hot, the trash truck came at 6:45am our first morning of vacation and on the last day of our vacation. The landscapers also came at 8am on our first day. The noise for being on 30A is VERY loud - so bring ear plugs! But that’s the price for being so close to the beach. Our a/c went out on the first floor and got up to 77 degrees - but the managers got someone out next day and had it fixed. The home has a lot of stairs - so be prepared to climb :)
Overall it was a very nice home and was a good value for the money!!

This was our first visit to Seacrest/Rosemary Beach area and it did not disappoint. This condo is in a prime location with a very short walk to the beach and immediate access to the pool. Peddler’s Pavillian is located immediately downstairs with several great shops and restaurants. Rosemary Beach shopping and restaurants are a short walk (maybe 3 minutes) and definitely worth checking out. The condo was clean and well laid out with plenty of room for our family of 5. All the appliance were in working order. Customer service was excellent. The check in code was not working, but their customer service was super friendly and got it worked out within a couple minutes. I can’t say enough great things about this condo and this company.

There are no beach towels so remember to pack your own. We really enjoyed our stay and would stay here again!

Overall the home was well maintained other than the washing machines. The primary suite washing machine had a horrible smell to it and appears to not have been cleaned out in quite some time. We took a towel and wiped out a lot of dark colored dirt from inside the door. Even with bleaching out the machine the odor remained and it even transferred to our clothes. I would not offer the washing machine as an amenity unless someone keeps it clean. I have a video if you’d like. The only other issue was the painters doing work on the house. Not a problem, but we did not know they were going to be there for 3 of our vacation days. They taped up over the door and we had to move the vehicles a few times for them to clean the driveway and garage doors. They also had clear view into the home upstairs through the windows which made getting dressed in the bedroom impossible.

We stayed here for a baseball tournament and the property was great! The pools were a fun way to end each day on the way in from the beach. The kids loved crab hunting on the beach each night. We had a team cookout using the community grills and set up a wiffle ball game on the beach... so much fun!
The condo was well equipped with necessities but lacked anything at all for beach equipment. It would be nice to have some chairs and sand toys available for use while there. And there were a few items that could sue some repairs from maintenance (knobs on the master bathroom tub for one).

Bliss by the bay

Overall Comment
The only issues we had were minor. It was a great place overall, but these suggestions would certainly make it nicer for the next visitors.
Mainly the fitted sheet in the master bedroom did not fit on the bed, so it came off every night when we slept. The pull out couch was really uncomfortable for my children. You could feel each coil underneath you when you laid down. It needs a foam topper. There were not enough pillowcase covers for the pillows either. Lastly, only two rolls of TP and two garbage bags were provided, which wasn't enough for a family of 4 for 5 days.

Great Location; Plumbing issues left us down a shower

The house is beautiful and well furnished. The pool was great. However, the house sleeps 10 and only has 3 showers. The 2nd floor shower leaked into the first floor bathroom. We were unable to use the 2nd floor shower for 5 of our 7 day trip. The first floor bathroom which was very small ended up having a large piece of the ceiling cut away due to the leak. And it was apparently a recurring issue. It is a lovely home and great location, but the inconvenience was significant- particularly considering the premium we paid for a luxury home in that location.

Outdated but good location
by Cleveland TN
★★★★☆ 4 of 5
Overall Comment
Pros: location- 2-3 minute drive to the beach, just down the street from several restaurants. Pond right out the back door made for a relaxing view while drinking coffee in the mornings. (My husband fished in it but never caught anything) My 6 and 7 year old loved feeding the turtles in the pond and playing in the large grassy “backyard” area. The layout was perfect for a family of 4 and 2 grandparents.
Cons: everything feels dated, which would be fine if it was only from a design perspective but unfortunately it’s everything. Doors- one bathroom door downstairs couldn’t be shut because it would get stuck every time, and the handle on the sliding glass door to the patio is almost broken from the door being so difficult to slide. Like other reviewers have said, the queen mattress downstairs feels like sleeping on a futon. It needed to be replaced a long time ago. The golf cart got a flat tire after two days of us being there. It took a day and a half to get it fixed so that wasn’t fun. The rental company communicated with us well, but wish it could have been handled sooner.

This is our family’s second time to stay in this house. It is our absolute favorite. There are many things we love about this place.

The adults and kids enjoy hanging and playing on the grass overlooking the bay. We were even lucky enough to see dolphins swimming in the bay one evening. The home itself is SUPER clean and well kept. We had everything we needed. The third floor is great for our teen girls to have their own space. The other four rooms are a great size too. Perfect layout for mult-family stay. There are two new golf carts since we last stayed and they were so comfy and nice.

A Perfect Vacation Home for Your Family Vacation

Spectacular beach home for a family vacation located in close proximity to the beach and a close walk to Seaside in the early morning. The pictures on the website are exactly what you will see when you arrive. It was furnished with all the kitchen cookware and bakeware needed to prepare meals for your family. Loved the pool which was a bonus for the family after a long day at the beach. I would recommend adding a dustpan, having the rugs in the living room cleaned professionally, add a larger tv to the 2nd floor bedroom on the right and consider lowering the temperature on the 2nd floor. We were unable to adjust the temperature that was preset at 70 and the room on the right side was hot every night. The 3rd floor Master Bedroom was amazing!!! Loved sitting on the balcony at night listening to the waves and looking around at the views of the other homes/pools. Everything about this room was perfect. Temp of this room was set at 68 all days except the last night it was increased to 69 but still comfortable with the large ceiling fan. Even with the minor enhancements that could be done to the property, it was overall rated an A in my book and I would definitely stay at the property again and recommend it to my family and friends.

We’ve been a long time rental of Russell vacation rentals and overall have been pleased with our stay/rental, however the past 2 rentals have been just ok. Both times, we’ve had golf cart issues. This stay in particular, the golf cart was completely broken for the entire stay which really sucks bc that’s one of the things we look forward to using and the main reason for booking this property. Russel vacation was kind to reimburse for that issue.
The property itself was clean but could use some updating, especially the shower knobs. It was hard to pull out to turn the water on and the knob plate felt like it was going to come off. It also didn’t drain well.

We loved our stay at 32 Vantage Pointe! The view of the bay was beautiful & we loved having a back lawn where the kids could play. The townhome was super clean upon arrival! We also loved having 2 golf carts, as Mom could take one to get groceries while the other cart could head to the beach. Great place to stay!

Beautiful Getaway
by WA
★★★★★ 5 of 5
Overall Comment
My wife, adult daughters, and sister had a plan to travel across the world and due to events out of our control that trip was canceled. We were bummed of course, but the beautiful beaches of the Emerald Coast, combined with the perfect location of Sea Dreams #5, definitely eased the pain.
This rental is ideally located between some of the popular small towns like Seaside, Rosemary Beach, Grayton Beach, and Alys Beach, which allows you to visit the hustle and bustle, (it was spring break) but then escape to your private beach to relax before getting ready to go out again and hit one of the many fine dining establishments in the area.
Sea Dreams #5 is a well appointed, as advertised, rental property. The location is amazing and the views and sound of the ocean lapping the coast is right out your backdoor. Prior to our arrival, the manager of the property let us know of a maintenance issue they had discovered. We worked around it and they were accommodating in making it right. Everything that could have made this trip better, (weather, spring break, etc.) were all out of the control of the managers of this property.
If anyone decides to come during spring break, you will endure extremely busy traffic, extremely busy restaurants, and an insane amount of kids from 12-17 that think they own the place. However, despite all of that, the rental property was ideal. It was located right between the madness of the busiest areas and simply sitting in the backyard or walking down the staircase to the private beach let any stresses or anxieties about the crowds melt away.

We stayed right after they remodeled- still in process and several things weren't done yet - The management company was very responsive - Keena was incredible. They will surely update photos soon. The location is amazing. Would definitely stay again. Only "complaint" would be that the toilets were built for giants - consider bringing a small box or something for your feet if you are average height or below.

Right in the mix

This is a particularly great location for your family if you like to be where the action is- so many options for food and shopping right outside your door, including live music on some nights and farmers market Saturday morning. I felt very safe to let kids explore and everything was in biking distance. One warning, because this is such a highly trafficked area, you've got to lock up your bikes! They can easily get taken (by accident or not) by kids passing through.

We spent Spring Break at this beautiful home with our kids and another family. The location was perfect...the proximity to the beach was just what we were looking for. The layout worked great for our group. The kids loved the pool and I loved the view from the balconies. We definitely would recommend!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. Fantastic central location to all the amenities. Pool is located just across the street and is beautiful. The home is very comfortable and has large windows across the back which provide a beautiful view of the golf course. The kitchen is stocked with everything you need and more. I’ve stayed in many rentals and this kitchen was by far stocked the best. Arrival and departure process is very easy. I’d give it a 10/10. Will be back next year!

Keena, the Russell rental agent was outstanding. She went above and
beyond normal service. The house was magnificent. Very well appointed
with a modern kitchen, beautiful decor and very clean and comfortable.
The location was excellent and the house had two golf carts available.
The view of the Sandestin Links golf course was beautiful. BEST rental
in the Destin area I have had in eight years of coming here.

We would highly recommend Russell Vacation Rentals! They were so responsive in assisting us with our “snowbird” rental in Sandestin in February. Our lovely house, 739 Sandpiper Place, was perfect! It was so well equipped! We had the use of a golf cart as well! The house was cozy and cheerful! It also had a closet full of beach toys and chairs. The whole experience was wonderful and we know we will use this rental company in the future.

This is the second time we have stayed in this condo. The location is fabulous for overlooking the Gulf of Mexico and walking distance to restaurants, bars and groceries. Some items/areas in the condo are in need of TLC and updating (furniture cushions uncomfortable/need replacing and bed is losing its firmness). However, everything was clean and welcoming.

Sandestin is so awesome words alone can’t describe the adventure we took during our magical journey while staying in Laurel Grove. The only downside when staying at Sandestin is time flies so fast one can only enjoy a fraction of the activities available and before you know it, it’s time to goodbye.

Property was better than average, but the golf cart was a plus. Was surprised that there was no welcome token. Not even a Keurig cup for a first cup of coffee. Nor salt and pepper a basic. Saw the largest cockroach and glad to have killed it. Lock combination changed by a software update but glad we were able to regain entry by calling the management company.

This is the second year that we’ve stayed here. Great location and quiet area with easy access to stores, shops and restaurants.
The house was noticeably cleaner than previous year. The golf cart is a plus in getting about in the neighborhood. The new living room furniture was much more comfortable-thank you.
All of the bed mattresses are in desperate need of replacing.
We hope to continue our Thanksgiving tradition.
