"전반적으로 깨끗하고 넓고 좋았습니다. 사진과 동일합니다. 뷰가 아주 훌륭했어요. 위치도 해변가와 가까워서 좋았습니다. 수영장 시설이나 건물 자체는 좀 오래돼보이지만 안에늠 깨끗합니다. 따뜻한 물도 금방 잘 나오고 변기의 수압도 좋았어요. 다만 위층인지 공사중이어서 시끄러웠습니다. 또한 몇몇 플라스틱 그릇들은 뚜껑이 없어서 불편했어요. 세탁기의 세제투입구 부분에는 곰팡이가 있었습니다. 아기가 바닥을 기어다니거나 걷기에는 바닥이 너무 더러웠어요. 발바닥이 새카맣게 변했습니다. 이런 점을 개선하면 좋을 것 같아요."

Stayed September 2022
"Loved this place. It is very spacious and in close proximity to the beach. If you want a quieter beach stay then I would recommend this Airbnb. It is further away from all the chaos of Destin. With that said it also makes it harder to get to places because it is a little further from all the restaurants. The beach is within walking distance but if you have kids and are bringing lots of stuff to the beach it is actually kind of a pain and I would suggest just driving or getting a golf cart. The view is great even though there is another building in front blocking the beach view but you will definitely get to enjoy sunrise and sunset.
The listing does not specify but the pool is not heated and there is no hot tub on the property. I wish had known this before I booked. I find that a lot of places leave out this info and for me it is important. The other big thing is that the beds are very uncomfortable unless your are sleeping on the twins. The twin beds are memory foam and therefore the most comfortable. The bedding is also very scratchy and definitely not great and the comforter is very thin. You might want to bring your own from home if you are used to something better.
All in all we enjoyed our stay and would definitely consider staying here again."

Hi! We appreciate you taking the time to provide us with some feedback regarding your family's enjoyable stay in Ariel Dunes II 1601.
