Stayed in sandpiper cove 9207. The property was beautiful and incredibly clean! Very big and location was fantastic! The owner put a lot of effort into little things, including a bookshelf of books to read at the beach. Checkin was a breeze and booking was no problem even last minute. Had some maintenance issues on the first day and they worked hard to try to get them resolved. Wish the owner was a little more responsive on the exterior maintenance. There is a great view from the master bedroom balcony but you can’t use it because the patio doors are so bad you have to force them open and then they won’t shut. Should have been replaced years ago. Also screens are torn and windows need replacing.

My family of 5 stayed in the 1905E penthouse expecting a penthouse worthy experience. We got much less than bargained for from Holiday Isle Properties, Inc. and their broken down excuse of a luxury rental. Normally I don't sweat the "small stuff" but this was just too much...wait until you hear about the beach service. The rooms and living spaces are beautiful, The view from the balcony is spectacular, just as in the pictures. What the pictures don't show is the damage that has been done to the place and not fixed. Here is the list: In the upstairs bedroom, one of the four wooden posts on the 4 post bed has broken off at mattress level and lying on the floor. Same bedroom has a closet door with a 5" hole in it. There was spackle and tape on the door and floor where some nitwit tried to hastily patch it and left a mess. Same bedroom, the armoire door wont stay open. There is scotch tape all over the wall where previous tenants have worked out their own fix. (bring a wedge to shove in there if you want to watch TV). Same bedroom, the cable box is blinking and non functional. The Master on the Main was slightly less gruesome with only 3 broken items; Bedside table door is hanging off the hinges, the screen door to the balcony is jammed and will not close and a decorative wooden clock that was once very pretty sits forlorn with the main finial broken off and lying loose. The light over the toilet is non-functional also. The table lamp in the main living room is non functional as well as the light in the vent hood over the stove. Bring your own lightbulbs if you want enlightenment at this place. The kitchen is stocked with the bare minimum so bring your own shrimp deveiners and corn scrubbers if you want to cook your own shrimp boil. Coffee maker gives a nice dose of coffee grounds in your cup, needs to be replaced. The kitchen sink spigot is missing the hand knob. Be careful as you grab the metal threaded stump to access the water, its sharp! And guess what, all of that is not even the worst part!. Do not expect beach service from Holiday Isle Properties, Inc. The room is rented by Holiday Isle Properties, Inc and they actually have no idea how the beach service at Silver Beach Towers works. We called them from the third tier beach chairs for an explanation and they stammered and replied "I don't know!". Let me explain because this is EXACTLY why you cant rent this place or rent from Holiday Isle Properties, Inc. The actual beach service is run by the SBT beach service subcontractor. You need to get information about reservations from them. The 'third tier' is the third row of beach chairs away from the water. There is no breeze there, there is no view there, there is sand and heat there. So we go from the penthouse to the back row at the beach everyday because we were not informed by Holiday Isle Properties, Inc. They will tell you to check with the beach service when you arrive. Don't listen to them. I've been coming to Destin for years now and this is the absolute worse experience I have had. Be warned, Holiday Isle Properties, Inc doesn't care.

We stayed at Sandpiper Cove unit 8209. It was a studio apartment which was the perfect size for 2 of us. Everything was clean and up to date. It was about a 5 minute walk to the beach because we stayed in the condos across the street. We were given an access code for the beach, you can bring your own chairs or rent them for a decent price. Overall, it was a great experience and we will be staying with them again!

Holiday Isle has taken our units to a new level with thier Premier program. I invested and this summer paid off. SEACREST HOA is undertaken a 3 million plus in infastructure upgrade. Each Unit new with get sliding doors and windows with UVC light tint and very insulated from flux in temps. The outside and all area repainted and coated and new look and feel. This summer challenged renters and owns alike with major issues such as noise , trash , and parking with a small percent of renters. Steps are taken to ensure management handles accordingly. Oakaloosa Island still family friendly and those are Seacrest values and Holiday Isle as well who manages approx half of the units.

We have stayed at sandpiper cove multiple times with no issues whatsoever. This time we decided to rent a studio 8246 for a few days. Along with the price increase there were many issues with this unit. Within 10 minutes of walking in the floors were disgusting, but who could see to clean them because there is 4 small lights that do nothing. While trying to sleep on a brick for a mattress the condensation from the ac drips onto your head. This is not a quiet place to sleep, the freezer makes a loud noise while dumping ice all though the night, the toilet constantly runs water through and is very loud. Overall this is the worst stay I’ve ever had at holiday isle.

We have rented at Seacrest Condominium on Okaloosa Island for at least 15 years and have never had any issues with the prior management company. Holiday Isle took over this past year and it seemed like we had issues every day. Parking was a disaster, water quit working one day with no advanced warning from management, the units didn’t seem as well kept as normal and I could go on. The prices of the units have increased tremendously with little to no upkeep to the property, other than keypad entry. We hate to look elsewhere for places to stay but after the experience this year, I think it’s time for a change. We were in Unit 701AB, we had family in 501AB, and in 406. We come as a large group and generally rent several units and this year under Holiday Isle management, we all were disappointed!

Going to Destin was a lot of built up excitement, the condo we reserved happened to be the only one available during the busy 4th of July week in sandpiper cove, we reserved this area so that we could stay near our friends in sandpiper cove. Sandpiper cove itself was nice, clean and convenient. Condo 8113, left a lot to be desired- walking in, the room was a disappointment. The first notable item was the panel box with exposed wires, underneath was a dirty wall, it had approximately 100.00 worth of furniture in it, the loveseat had a huge stain from something in the middle of it, the toilet was still gross, the bathtub was old and scratched up but clean, the condo was a studio that had a Murphy bed, kinda cool until you got ready to pull it out and the stains on the bottom left us wondering if someone was killed under it. On the bright side, it had a new microwave and the fridge was clean and the washer and dryer was great. The floors were fairly in okay condition but mostly scratched. The third day there I killed two roaches. And the patio furniture consisted of a broke down beach chair with a matching vinyl mat (nice touch). The back door didn’t lock we had to find a stick to keep the door locked. So basically in summary- compared to the motel 8 down the street that was charging 539 a night I guess we will consider ourselves to have had a “good deal”, but maybe the motel 8 would have been a better option. My suggestion would be, that what we paid for the week, they could use that money to do a few upgrades as the square footage is not that much and our weekly price could totally do it! Will not stay here again. At least not in this unit. We did not complain to anyone, as during this week the options on where to stay were limited with boat slips- so we sucked it up, went to Walmart, bout some covered for the seating areas, some blankets for the bed, some mats for the bathroom floor and tub and decided to not think about anything but enjoying the rest of our time in beautiful Destin.

We just returned from a vacation at Destin, Florida. We stayed for the first time at Destin on the Gulf, Unit 406. We rented through Holiday Isle Properties and it was amazing! I will certainly rent through them again and I will definitely rent Unit 406. The property is on a quiet street off of the chaos of Hwy 98 so it is very easy to maneuver in and out of the bumper to bumper traffic that is Destin. The beach was beautiful and CLEAN. The resort is family oriented with beach toys, umbrellas and floats to use. The pool was cleaned every morning and the property was spotless. The managers, Nicole and Patricia were amazing to deal with. Thank you so much for making our stay memorable.
